IMF UPDATES!! (The 'bus host' version..wahaha!!)


Wippee...IMF is here..started work on the 13th which was like wed. Pretty scared..thinking of how im going to talk to the delegates should they ask me all the stuffs that i dont know how to answer...what they didnt know was im such an unreliable singaporean..wakakaka..i mean..if you ask things of my standard of course i know lah...but excuiz me! they are those high class people...why would they want to get themselves stranded in bugis village to shop for clothes when they have more air-conditioned-not-so-packed shops they can go to right?? Then, im thinking how im going to conduct myself IN the bus WITH A POLICE OFFICER..AND A DRIVER! hahaa...they are guys! and what if i get those handsome policeman to accompany and i cant get my eyes off him?? HOW?!?! waakakkaa!!! ok anyway...i think so much until i dreamt that i was late to report for work on the first day..only to wake up and find myself not even taken my bath..wahahaha..


IMF - 1st day - 13/9 -wed:

Reporting time: 315. Reached kallang stadium: 305pm. My oh my...you should take a look at the carpark F. How you see loads of motorcycles gather for racing is how the carpark looks like. Its full of buses..racing for delegates! ahaha...Registration Place was chaotic. After report..im suppose to take 1549 scheduled bus. I went search for the bus way before 1549..about 1540? and i already never liked to see or having or standing nearby big vehicles like those you see on a malaysian highway..those 8-wheelers...they are giants and it feels like im going to be 'gulp' down in any moment...I dont mind having one 40-seater bus but having loads of them surrounding me(that havent include the big trees alright..)...its scary! and i cant even find my bus..with 5 umbrellas and a walkie talkie in hands searching for it under the hot sun only to know from the policeman nearby that my bus just left!! what the F! lol!


so from being early, i have to wait for my bus driver to come back at what time? 5pm! yes..1 1/2 full hours of practically sitting in the tent not knowing what to do other than munching whatever food i can grab and having stares from the policemen on the registration counters?? but hey..lucky for me..my close friends missed their bus too!! wahaha...so WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!! ONCE WE KNOW....yadi yadi yada..harhar...


5pm. My bus came. My driver? i was just thinking of being nice to him when i saw him wearing this thick goldchain on his neck! And he was taking to me in chinese when i kept telling him i dont understand and i am malay!! grrr...suddenly..the tot of tai long came to my mind..yah..the bus driver just look like one..wahahah!! ok anyway..never know who is 'my policeman'..but i saw A POLICEMAN walking beside 'my bus driver'...but i just assumed they were just talking and not really realize that HE IS MY POLICEMAN only after he board the bus..hehe.


Never shook hands. Never introduce. Both the bus driver and policeman never took my number or vice versa...perhaps they just thought that they can never lose me? wahhaa!! Anyway..mine is i dunno..whether he is indian muslim or a sheikh(status for arab descendent..)...but i think he's a sheikh kot..never mind that anyway..i just saw his name as hussein. bus driver..i dunno and never care. I was quiet all the way. once i board the bus..i start feeling awkward..cos IM BOARDING A BUS WITH A POLICEMAN RIGHT BESIDE ME DAMN IT! haha!! guess what i do? i stare outside the window all the way. we rarely talk except occassionally when i dunno some stuffs. all the way..he talk to driver while i kept quiet. Suddenly i was really stiff lah. Then when break time, went back to stadium...he alight without waiting for me. He was 100 metres ahead of me by the time i got down...IM NOT KIDDING! so ungentleman..ate dinner...the bus drivers who shared the same tent as the bus hosts were kind enough to offer us their spare food..so at around evening like 6 plus 7..we head back picking up delegates...by this time..im still staring outside the window. wahhaa..until my Mr Policeman got a call from SCO(Special Command Officer...if that was right..) asking him of my details such as name and phone number. After he put down the phone...he said in malay which i quoted in english.."Oh you malay...tot you chinese..." and i said "nolah i am malay.."..OOHH so that was the story..he didnt know i was a malay wahahha..after that he talked a little more to me..ok and after back of my supposed last trip but not for the driver..there was a time clash..and when we got down at stadium again...this time..there was a difference..he walked beside me and actually told me if this and that..haha..and we walked towards the tent together..wahaha!!


And ohh..did i forget to mention that diana didnt had any bus assigned to her and so she followed fizzy in her bus. So after they reach stadium..diana got down and then fizzy went ahead as usual alone. Then..she came back again at stadium telling me..a marshal at suntec wanted to getta know diana..PHEEWWIT! haha..ok practically this guy passed his friend number to fizzy which she then pass to di. After di started msg him monday night..his name is nazri by the way...he told di that actually the guy who gave the card to fizzy also wanted to get to know fizzy but forget to ask her for her number. But di said she's attached...so to be continued...


IMF - 2nd day - 14/9 - thurs:

Oh yeah..regret buying those pump shoes with slight heels cos my legs now back to blisters. Hate it. I have to walk real slow to avoid the shoe from cutting in more skin and at the same time tryin to maintain my posture that there's nothing wrong with me...huaharhar...hello..im wearing smart already ok..i cant practically walk anyhow right..there you go...i ended up missing for the bus cos i cant run! so i reach at kallang 1405..reach at the bus stop only to see the bus no.11 just went off. what a bad day lah. Reporting time 1430. But its okay. We werent the only one reporting at 1430 who also missed the bus..lol! Anyway..just cant stop wondering who my policeman and driver will be...after reporting all that..i found my bus.. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A SHORT TIME! got the driver...took down each other number in case i went MIA..wahaha..then got a chinese policeman today..*sob*sob*..i wanted a malay? lol! But its okay..he sure appear to be more friendly than yest one. He went up the bus and said a loud happy "HI! You are?" to me and held up his hand. I shook his hand and said my name. He laid back lah. Can joke also. Friendly. There was one time..during tea time..he got a tea break food and we are suppsoe to start heading back to suntec picking up people, and he ask if i had eaten i said no. He ask me to take one of his samosas which i politely decline cos i was shy..wahhaa! He insist i took but i still declined. He was so insistent..so concern that i didnt eat that he said you want biscuit?? and while part of his samosa was in his mouth, another hand holding the pack, another hand searching for the square biscuit and finally hand it to me which i also decline. Of course..i just drank coffee and ate biscuit during the 10 mins break. haha. I told him i never see the BMW and everytime eversince when he saw one he will call me Siti here and Siti there...and i finally get to see one upclose cos it was parked at the intercontinental Hotel and my bus was there.. He told me to look for the plate so now i know how they know...and eversince i saw many of the BMWs wahahah!! During the 2nd last loop which we head out from kallang around 1828 to suntec. After that it took us seriously few minutes to an hour to reach Intercontinental hotel due to the heavy traffic. The jam was pretty bad lah..the usual timing was only 10-15 mins estimated but it was already an hour and we just reached the first hotel. So meanwhile..we watched singapore idol together and make comments also lah..haha. Then we chat about those policemen including SOC, gurga, SAF commandos or those of higher ranking(wearing real smart office wear with a well built body..)..cos we saw LOADS of them..im serious LOADS at the Swissotel The stamford and all around the raffles city building..and he told me usually when there's more security..there are big shots people staying there. I even got to see those VVIP escorted not by a police car but a normal car with the police light on top of it. As what i heard..it is escorted specially by security branch. hmmm...very tight security. Whats more amazing is that on our last trip back to kallang, he called me to see those SOC and policemen reporting back their duty cos its already night. So along the most left lane..many parked police vehicles..from police buses..police vans..cars...SOC red colour truck..very long ah..then can see many police all at one go crowding...wah..never seen that much before...oh yah by the way...today...no delegates AT ALL! except for one reporter. COmpare to yesterday..i at least have 2 delegates. I envy those people under red clusters..whose hotels are much expensive and practically more big shots people staying there...and a friend of mine got delegates from africa, brunei, korea, china, sylvia (or was it syria??LOL!!)..whatever lah the name is right..haha..then got washington...wow..she so good gotta talk to them..i dont.so empty rides all the way...haiz..


and ouh..back to guys..after one of the tea breaks at kallang..the bus usually have to stop while making its exit at end of the carpark before heading to suntec. So as the bus moves..my head was peering at these 2 guys outside under the umbrella without realizing that he actually was peering and saw me. The this one guy..look at me like he knew me...while i look at him back wondering if he really know me or do i know him...who knows my sister friend...thats the bad thing..the only guys who seems to knows me are the one who thought im my sister..wakakaka..but never mind who cares..then he lifted a smile..i smiled back! wahaha...and he's cute...hope to see him again!! and get to know him too perhaps? but it usually wont come true lah when it comes to these stuffs..if only God answer my prayer...Heez?


and yeah..during my mission...i tried to spot for the guys who wanna befriend my two pals. I kept missing diana's but i saw a guy whom i thought might be the one who liked fizzy as described. He cute..looked mixed...fair...somehow look abit like hussein somehow not..hahaha..dunno lar...anyway..yeah...hopefully all things went fine for di this time round..just dont put too much hope this time lah di eh...just go with the flow..ehehe..never show him that you're interested in him alright until u can assure that he really liked you. Love you all bye!!


P/s: our facilitator in-charge..Alex is so gatal sia..yest while i shake hands with diana and sha cos i going for my last trip and we thought we never get to meet again later which is why we gave the normal hugs and kisses right...then alex saw and smiled cheekily at me..pointing to his cheek, saying to me..then me?me? kiss here lah..haha..we al laughed it off. He also kept teasing sha..giving her the cheeky look...Then today..while i was eating and he turned around and saw me alone..he was saying..Hello sayang..wakaka..that guy ar though cheeky..funny, entertaining lah..he was merely joking...we know..but he seriously so tired already..not working still come and see us at kallang and changi..poor thing..by then his eyes will just be much smaller than mine..thats all..hahaha...END!
