It's raining men aunties!
Not really la. Just been bombarded by a few.
You see, I volunteered for IEO to help lead Campus Tours the past 3 days since I was just sitting at home with nothing to do.
So on this third day (Wednesday), one of the girls in my tour was Gladys (I'm supposing this is how you spell it). And at the end of our tour, I was passing her an extra brochure, but she was with 2 of her friends, and they asked me for one too, so I gave it to them.
And then Gladys introduced me to them. And at THAT very point, the rest of my day, whatever I had planned, was gone to waste.
So I met Amanda and Debbie. Along with Amanda's mom, Debbie's mom and Debbie's aunt. Then Matt came out and told them of the free BBQ held outside (we were in IEO office). So all the aunties "Waaah free food!!"
So they went out to eat lo. Then while eating they were asking me tens of thousands of questions lo. Then one mentioned she was staying at Unilodge, then I said Ooo I don't like, I prefer where I stay. Then they were like where do you stay? So I was like erm Academie House. Then they were like can we go see the room ah? So I was like, erm...I guess that's okay.
So after food, the whole big jinggang headed to room 116 in Academie House. Enter room, wah wah wah, nice nice nice, more questions ensues, satisfied with room and questions.
We headed out. I was supposed to meet Brandall for shopping that afternoon. I was already running late, and seeing as para aunties also wanted to go there, I was happy to bring them along. But along the way, we made a detour to Jolimont Centre, cause one aunty wanted to know how to get there.
When we got to Canberra Centre, the newbies wanted to sign up for 3 phone, so I brought them there, but they didn't have a proof of address, so I had to bring them to the banks to get a proof of address. Then we went back, para aunty told me to follow them for lunch.
After a lot of thanks yous and no thank yous, I still did follow them. We had Izumi, where I could clearly see the lady boss wasn't too happy to have us around. But who cares la?
So after that, we headed back to 3, waited some time, got things settled, then I had to go Jolimont to pass someone something, then I headed back to meet them, in case they lose their way and couldn't find their way home.
And they were sort of lost, as they couldn't find Supabarn. So I brought them there, bought some groceries, then we finally headed home.
One of the aunties were complaining bout the cold, and hinted that my heater was very warm, so I (not so) graciously offered her my roomie's heater for temporary usage.
After that, I was off to fetch Miss Tan from the airport with Chia Pei, so I left them to walk back to Unilodge on their own. (In case you were wondering, they didn't get lost.)
That night, I pulled along Miss Tan and Ah Boy to go meet these aunty-aunty. We spent bout half an hour to an hour there, talked more, and then it was getting late, so we said bye.
And then, never was I so glad to be home.
I still have playdates with newbies. Dickson playdate, Brand Depot playdate, curry playdate. Fun.
