More long days in heels

Today was another day in heels, but not as bad as Friday. Maybe I'm getting used to it??

Had another interview today, and met some people who are/have been involved in HR. It has been quite a learning experience, and this is not withstanding the seminar that I attended yesterday on an unrelated matter.

When mum and dad were here, we had dinner at the Tanglin Club's Tavern, and lunch at the same Club's Churchill Room. At the Tanglin Club, you are not allowed to use your mobile phone once you enter the front doors of the Club. So I was a little afraid that I might get told off for using the camera on my mob, but nothing like that happened. Dad, Brother and I also visited the Singapore Cricket Club, had a walk around.

The funny, quirky thing that has happened twice is salespeople in shops feeling the need to tell me what a particular thing is. When I went to Nike to buy my futsal boots, I picked up the womens/boys boot, and the store manager said "That's for indoor soccer" or something along those lines. I replied "Oh, I know". I'm not sure who was more stunned - her (she was very shocked that a girl plays futsal!) or me. Tonight, I was thinking about buying a shirt for Ben, and again the storekeeper said "this is a men's shirt". I mean, hello! Did she expect me to think that I could actually fit into that shirt? Do I look that much like a foreigner, or just extremely dumb? :)

I have bought quite a bit. Probably the most I've ever bought on holiday. Which isn't hard, because I've never really bought heaps in one trip before. But still, I'm stunned.
