Learned Journey/ Unlearned Journey

Hello!:) It's been a while since i last blogged ... I know.. Bet you were missing me..ha. Anyway today was Learning Journey and I tell you, it was definitely an unlearned Journey. Because........ we were scolded, played and pissed off. Plus we couldn't really interview people which was our task coz we were running around like on a wild goose chase. Damn It.

We were posted to Little India Mustafa area. We were told to interview people about the History of Mustafa, Hindu Temple, Mosque ... Which i felt was quite fun .. Easier said than done... We arrived there at about 10am and then made our way to the Mosque opposite. There were men sitting and talking the front gate was locked and we saw the saide gate that was opened . We saw Somemore men sitting at the gate so we asked about the history opf the Mosque, you know, what it was like in the past, how it impacted the person. Then as the guy was talking to us about the history of something else that wasn't even related this younger man came up and asked us what our business was and scolded us that we were joking with him and ask a boy to go and talk to them instead of us and if we didn't leave he will call the cops. He even said he was the 'security guard' of the mosque. Which was so obviously a lie coz he wasn't even wearing security clothes. He was just wearing t-shirt and jeans. Sheesh. 10am in the morning and we kenah scolding. Somemore not even one that we deserved and we couldn't even do anything about it since we were in uniform...

So after our ... unsucessful-pissedoff encounter, we made our way to Mustafa shopping centre to ask about its history. We made our way in and asked one of the staff for help , the security guard, or at least i thnk he was since he was wearing the clothes and standing behinde a table near the entrance. He said go upstairs to the third floor i think and look for some staff. And we did. Thenwe were told go another place. We decided to split up and do different parts of the worksheet and then meet at the split up point. Cher and I did the one on the impact of the change and we asked someone on the fourth floor. This was when the wild goose chase started, and believe me we were not the only ones who went on a wild goose chase. Cher and I were first told to go to B2 to ask someone then we were told to go the Mustafa Travel Agency and ask them coz they will be able to help us, obviously not, from there we were told to go back to the main building and go the the 2nd floor to ask the staff there then we were made to wait for 5 mins for the older staff to come back from his toliet break but then he never turned so we were told to go the HR dept of Mustafa Travel Agency building and they will be able to help us and this was the last straw, we were told to go to Serangoon Plaza 4th floor Door 18 and they will be able to help us. We didn't even go to SP coz we were pissed off, hungry and felt played. The rest met us at the back of Mustafa Travel Agency building and then we made our way to eat and the meeting point. After lunch we gave up asking and decided to walk around since we knew we would be on a wild goose chase again so we went to a shoe store and looked around. We had 40 mins to spare anyway. haha.

It was the worst LJ ever and wanted the old kind of LJs we had in lower sec. This LJ was a new kind where the teachers tried a new kind of system. Obviously the system didn't work, either that or our luck was shear bad today. But we weren't the only ones who got a scolding by the mosque 'security guard/ managing director'. Jihae's group also kenah. Sigh... Today is definitely not my day... Thank goodness it's over.
