Friday morning we were at the hotel and got ready to go to the botanic gardens for the day. I looked up directions on gothere.sg that I always use. I knew that the gardens were far away and it said it would take a little over an hour. We took a bus since it is cheap and easy, but we had to take a couple of busses for a total of 33 stops. Once we traveled 29 bus stops on two buses we were getting ready to board the next bus to botanical gardens and I checked my directions and saw that it said...
Destination: "Original Botanical Garden Famous Fish Ball Noodles"
We started laughing because the search engine automatically put this at the destination rather than just botanic gardens. We started laughing together because of the name and that it was not the gardens but then we went to a gas station and asked if it was close to the gardens and they said it would be about a half hour taxi ride! We were so far in the wrong direction! Suddenly it was not so funny and I felt bad because I only had a little bit of time to go to the gardens. We quickly ran to the subway and called Sarah's business friend who is from Singapore and asked him where to go. He told us what stop to get off at and he drove to the stop and picked us up.
We were all hungry and Sarah's friend brought us to Dempsey Hill here we ordered panini sandwiches to bring to the gardens. While we were waiting for our food I walked around the hill a little bit.
We got our food and brought it to the gardens and ate at the entrance. Then we walked on the main path in the park and it was really nice.
I was sad that I had to say goodbye while they got to see the rest of the park but I had to be back for a job. I went to the apartment and got Lauren to go. Miranda was hired for the job too but she had been really sick so she canceled the job :-( Lauren and I got to the job location at the Grand Hyatt early so we stopped at a Sweet Talk and I decided to try an oreo banana bubble shake. It was so delicious I could not believe I had never had something like that before.
Lauren and I went into the job which was a private event we were hospitality ambassadors for where we were to greet guests. We got our hair and makeup done and changed into sleek, black dresses. We went out to the entrance of the event and welcomed the guests. Later we stood by the doors while the guests entered the dining room for dinner. During dinner there were a couple of speeches made and Lauren and I each walked a guest up to the microphone kind of like an award show model to show them where to go. After that we were told to take a break and hang out in the room we got our hair and makeup done before. They had dessert models who were covered in golden chocolate to escort the cake out for dessert. We were told that we were going to go back out to help with the event but no one ever came back to get us! We wound up hanging out for almost three hours in the room! While we waited we took pictures and Lauren started playing with the props from the job.
I was tired and hungry and I ate some of one of the big lollipops haha The event staff said that we had to stay until midnight so we did and then we ran to get a bus home. It was an easy event job but I'm not sure why they kept all of us for so long. Anyway, I was happy to be a part of the event and when I got home I showered to get all of the gel out and then slept very well.
