Colbar
was brought to a "refurbished" eating house tucked away in the heart of Wessex Estate yesterday... and i immediately fell in love with the very 'rustic' feel of the whole place! i mean though it's reconstructed and a little artificial, but still think it's cool. apparently they serve good cheap food too, though i didn't have a chance to sample any of the items on its menu. it has also been featured on the Uniquely Singapore website. unfortunately it's rather inaccessible and thus inconvenient to go on any whim and fancy. but will definitely keep this place in mind, esp when i finally learn how to drive here :P

for the very first time i got a sore throat from talking too much. and so i was really surprised when i woke up on Tues morning with a very painful throat... the result of my first SERS exhibition counter duty at Ghim Moh on Monday... perhaps i was so tensed up during my first exhibition duty that i forgot to drink enough water :P anyway i think it's quite fun to do frontline stuff like this... and interacting with the public makes you discover that there are like 1001 scenarios that you would never think up while sitting in the office trying to write policy papers... yeah. and it trains you to think on your feet! however, besides being inexperienced, i am additionally disadvantaged in the sense that i don't look very credible (nor wise enough haha)... more than once ppl either ask me "are you a student" or "are you part-timing"... one old lady even said something like... you're too young lah.. when i bought this flat you weren't even born how you know what policies existed then?? when we tried to tell her about a certain current policy... i mean she's not wrong.. some ppl have been living in their existing flats for 30 over years...
