Last friday, I was called upon to replace someone who had fallen sick as a helper in Singapore's Navy open house, which took place on a saturday from 7 to 7, and that wasn't the bad part. What was, was that I had spent a majority of those hours baking under the sun while directing people to the 'FUN' rides(If you enjoy falling into water and soaking you pretty dress while the horny uncle driving the boat takes a gander at your assets.) which consisted of RHIBs, Banana boats and Jet Skis. Anyway, after the whole event, I got burnt pretty bad, and this kid, this little girl on the bus back said I was very red, To which I replied, ' Yea, I'm like a crab.' To which to my dismay, She started looking at me and going 'HI CRAB!!'(And other random greetings with the word crab in it) several times on our journey towards the MRT station, she even made her screaming little sister greet me by my new title and then after we parted she went, 'BYE!! CRAB!!!', looking back it kinda seemed like I was some kind of mascot. It's almost like I've transcended my life of boring mediocrity into the Nirvana of preschool playhouse Disney, putting me right there next to Barney, Pee Wee and the randoms freaks of sesame street.
Oh ya, before I forget,
Kudos to Kinokuniya or however you spelt it for excellent customer service.
They bothered to change my defective book 5 weeks++ after I got it,
without needing me to produce a receipt( I did have my Kino card though).
