Interesting day out on the town!
Things done:
- Joined the NParks volunteer group at Fort Canning's Spice Garden in the morning. Interesting and very friendly group of people. Spent my morning transplanting Stevia from waterlogged soil to slightly drier soil. Very relaxing to spend the morning using my hands and hear about things I have never done/thought of before. Also got the chance to try bilimbi, a sour fruit that was previously used for cooking, but isn't very widely available anymore. Sour!
- Met Yong Shen for lunch at Tiong Bahru. Talked to him about joblessness and how to deal with it. Not surprisingly (and unfortunately!), there is no secret to dealing with it. On the plus side, he was reasonably keen to get involved with the video blog idea- I'll check up with him on this later...
- First night shift at The Pit. 6-11PM. Interesting experience.. to say the least. Not the best to be handing out beers to people and not getting to drink myself, but it's nice to be 'working' in such a lively environment. It's quite a fun place. Good atmosphere. Good music.
Lessons Learnt: I had an interesting day because I put things together- working at the Pit, volunteering with the NParks and lunch with Yong Shen. Keep putting together interesting days for yourself, Ryan!
