Hello there! It's me again.... Surprised? Me too... I didn't expect to update my blog so soon...

Actually, I'm really free now cos I was on course...Yes on COURSE.. Taken off my standby & put to attend this course... Office hours.... What a drag... However, I survived!!!

OK..OK.. Back to the course I went today... It's called "SINGAPORE AMBASSADOR PROGRAMME" So I'm officially qualified to promote my beloved country to tourists around the world. Wow! A big responsibility!! As if I bother..

Arrived at SIA Training Centre at 0815hrs & went straight to class. The Trainer came on time at 0900hrs. He started by talking about the history of Singapore...Alamak! History lesson ke bang!

From Sir Stamford Raffles to Sang Nila Utama, he covered everything about WW2. Actually very interesting to learn about the war. Got some references from the trainer for my future readings.(if I ever find the time lah!)

Next he went into the different cultures in Singapore. Mainly the CHINESE, MALAYS & INDIANS. So we discussed on topics ranging from Chinatown, Kampong Glam, Little India, Merlion, etc... Hmmm.. I wonder how come Geylang is not in the picture....
After that he touched on interesting sites found in Singapore.. eg: Zoo, Bird Park.. etc. You guys fill the rest..

Then comes the various festivals celebrated in Singapore. I didn't realise we had so many festivals in a year....Woohoo!! Too bad no PH on some of these festivals... Damn!

Lastly, he covered on how to draft an itinerary for tourist coming to Singapore. It can consist of 1,2,3 day programme or even more... So I'm not only here to serve pax on board but a tour guide as well... Have to consider monetary returns...

The most interesting part of the course is knowing the various places on War Memorial. I will definitely try to visit these sites if I have the time. It's good to know what went on in Singapore during the war... Suddenly, feeling a bit patriotic.... Majulah Singapura!

Alright..Alright... Enough of my day... Kan sesekali update...Not Bad!!

I better get ready.. Meeting my Bro MAPLEK tonight.. Dah lama tak jumpa... Nanti merajuk pulak orang tua tu!

Till the next update..(God Knows When!)..

Happy reading people!!!
