somehow i figured i found out alot of interesting stuffs during this past one month doing dumb ndp duties, but problems just overshadowed everything... life is just too short to be troubled...
standing at the exit from marina sq to suntec, i had to carry a signboard, standing like some statue of NSF and usher ticket holders (and non-ticket holders) to the marina bay, so they had to go to starbucks, which is 1 giant U-turn from where i stand, exit beside it to reach the ticket checkpoint? Easy job? u bet, but singaporeans like to ask many weird questions, many of those whom already answered their own... pls for the next ndp, DONT ASK THESE QUESTIONS ANYMORE
TOP TEN FAQ IN MARINA SQUARE DURING NDP
1. "What time is the parade?"
eh ok isn't it stated on your ticket?
2. "What time is the fireworks?"
non ticket-holders' favourite question; the answer is always '8+pm?'
3. "May i know how to get there?"
pls read my signboard, pls.... go straight turn right all the way to starbucks, repeat 'n' times
4. "What time is the fireworks, and where's the best place to view them?"
my gawd, i'm only here to usher people, not as an information counter... if i were 1 i will charge u 10 bucks for every question asked...
5. "What if i dont have the ticket?"
(in americanised tone) no ticket? then u will have to wait for next year peharps, milady...
6. "May i know how to get to _____ (any places except marina bay)?"
argh, for the last time, i'm not an information counter! i'm so gonna charge u twenty bucks...
7. "May i know what time will the road be opened?"
man, i'm sure u've read ur newspapers, so u should have known... why i dont know? NSmen dont read newspapers....
8. "What is the fastest way to the MRT?"

9. "What are you doing here?"
