Meow Meow never had such a tiring Saturday for a very very long time. Meow Meow started the day waking up with three morning calls from one very close cousin, Y.B., at around 7am, 7.30am and 8am. And Meow Meow was like, eh, sleeping of course! It was first of all a Saturday to speak, and second of all, it was so god damn early (a usual working day timing) and last of all, Meow Meow had one of the most tiring and demotivated weekday that same week.Waking up 8am of course (as I am late) and wash up, walk down the usual peaceful and quiet road along to blocks of apartment and down into the Jurong Point. Walking past the stretch of shops reaching Boon Lay Control Station in a jiffy 10-15mins. Late as usual with such a timing, The cousin group, consist of Meow Meow, Y.B. and W.H.. And hence the group traveled down to the kind of isolated area of NTU (Nanyang Technological University) for a very "motivational" (the exact same word Y.B. used to describe the morning event) and informational seminar by some experienced professionals in Investing and Finance.
Meow Meow really appreciated the seminar, but the appreciation could be better if the seminar wasn't so early. After really hours and hours of long cozy and bored session of information sharing, the whole seminar group of people who was suppose to join the Cash Trail was finally released for refreshments. Food was just food for Meow Meow that so damn very moment. And had them to satisfied the long hours of waiting and hunger. Felt soo much better after the little snacks and munches.
A little introduction of the Cash Trail event. Cash Trail is a resemblance of Amazing Race and Stock Exchange combined together into a "game". Basic instructions was: 1. Required to get to six stations with one is inside the NTU itself; 2. Make stock transactions just with the situation the of three fictional companies present state of management; 3. As of stock transactions, there is three activities to choose, to Buy, Sell, or Hold the stock; 4. In each stations, there will have a bonus question to be asked. Answer it correctly to earn an additional of $500; 5. The remaining 5 stations are scattered all around CBD (Central Business District) with only clues on cards are provided and we are suppose to guess where it is; 6. The last and final most obvious requirement is to reach OCBC Building by 4.30pm.
An amount of $100,000 (value) was given at the start of the event and there we the cousin gang left the area of gathering to the first station. In whole and all, we are both physically fatigue and loss in the areas. Mentally strained and practically hopelessly lost to the management's ability to hold out such an event. Accepting the fate that it is practically unfair and impossible to win with such a state of unforeseeable under-ruled game.
Out in all, the $1,000 did not belong to the cousin gang ultimately. Meow Meow knew for sure that Y.B. really wished to have that, pretty eager and willing to go through anything for it. Efforts wasted and all the group could do was console ourselves taking it as a cousin bonding session and that we enjoyed the whole trail and that we got ourselves nice lunch, informational sharing talk, and goody bag in the end nonetheless. Meow Meow got more then that, earned a blister on the left foot sole and thorn skin around the back of the ankle. That added onto the two more other portions of my foot abrasion from my reservist, my foot is kind of well "decorated" now.
Meet Woow Woow, Derek mistress and Hong Jun for dinner at Marina Square and had Japanese food. Not a bad place to dine in, and thus, quite enjoyed the moment. A few more bits of walking on top of all the walking the past few hours Meow Meow had went through. Meow Meow and Woow Woow decided to catch a midnight movie after that, and we caught "The Orphanage". Foreign cultured and horror movie, with few good scare and nice, wonderful story line. Finally watched a horror show with Woow Woow after a long long time, and this time, really really been a rare occasion when the audiences really SCREAMED.
Proceed home with Night Rider to Woow Woow place from the Cathay (walking again). And got home, Meow Meow thought the day couldn't get any worse, as the hour of rest is near, but no... Woow Woow's Jody, the fat ass dog, wanted to sleep in the room which Meow Meow sleeps. Meow Meow thought it was really ridiculous to have a pet in the sleeping room of masters, but no, it was as though the dog has pushed its luck and got what it wanted. Really really bad mood (no... is not just bad, but rotten mood) and felt so at daggers drawn with the stupid dogs Woow Woow had in his residence. Slept on a thin piece of cloth with sponge which is old and stained with dog's urine, which Woow Woow called it a mattress to aggravate Meow Meow's back and neck ache. Meow Meow could experience nothing worse than this ever... ~End
