I slept at nearly 1am yesterday, and I woke up a bit “late”
as I sort of “overslept” according to my OCD timing. Nevertheless, I still
managed to get ready in time and was at the meeting room on time; only to find
out that the session today starts at 10am!
There were a few others there as well, who didn’t know about
the programme change. The agenda for the past two days have been constantly
changing, so I guess many of us assumed that the agenda would also change for
the last day.
The extra hour that I had was spent on checking emails,
checking- in for my flight tomorrow and browsing FB. When the session finally started a little
after 10am, it was a short session. It ended at 1pm, with us each getting a
small notebook, using it as an autograph book to get the participants to write
in each other’s note books. It was a nice gesture and a fun activity.
After lunch, there was a small group meeting that lasted for
2 hours, after which, Chela and I went to Robinsons Place , a mall nearby. We managed
to get some souvenirs before heading back to the hotel as it was getting dark.
Dinner was with my boss and 3 of my other Filipino
colleagues, and we went to the other side of Marina
Bay where the biggest mall in Asia is located: Mall of Asia. It’s apparently 4 football
fields wide. It was a massive building!!
We didn’t go inside the mall but ate at a seafood place
nearby the mall. We had pork, adobo kangkong, sinigang maya-maya, boiled
prawns, mango salad and rice. I even drank a very refreshing green mango shake.
It was yums!!
After that, we went looking for balut and surprisingly
couldn’t find any vendor!! Both Marjo and I were disappointed but I am going to
try one more time tomorrow morning before I leave. I hope I get to try it as I
don’t know when I’ll be back to the Philippines (though I hope to come
back for a holiday!).
