Argh. the mentorship thingy for the new china freshmen is so tiring sobz sobz. The lecturer really misuse the word, felt a bit cheated, but guess I can't back out. It is really just "Tour guide" and their agent for all their important documents: Health checkup, Student pass, Ezlink card and POSB bank account.

Yesterday went into the lt 17 for the briefing shocked. Mr Daniel Yeow was talking about the checkup and etc thingy and I was like "huh?! isn't it suppose to be mentoring?". I only know Cheryl there, she was also quite shocked haha. Like must do so many things one. Somemore it's a 2 days thingy. So long.

Cheryl and I took a group of 3 china students who are going to take LOM. They are quiet and we are also quiet type. haha But we managed to interact later la. First stop, went to Raffles Clinic at DBS, Tamp to check out the service. They don't have X-ray, and somemore must wait 3-4 days for results, and they said they had too many appointments for the day liaoz. No choice, then I called Raffles Hospital to check. Not good either. The receptionist said: " Can la, you can come down. But we have 80 patients in queue now, are we're closing at 5.30 sharp" It was about 4 something then. The.... just tell me cannot take in anymore mah. But not bad la, just nid to wait 1 day for the result. So I'm bringing the China guys there for checkup today.

Yesterday walked till my leg pain, till i nearly drop-out. keep walking and walking. and I was sick yesterday, serious sorethroat, then still have to talk and talk and talk. We bring them to buy the things they want. They just can't buy at tampinese mall. everything want cheaper(but they are nice guys, so dun blame them, they are tight on budget also). They dun know how to take bus from school to their house, and from their house to school. We have to identify their blocks on the map and try to bring them to their block. Then told them how to walk to sch and what bus to take. blah blah blah. Do till 6 something.

Today meeting them at 9 am at tamp mrt, hope they remember how to go there.. haha

Today's program. 1) Health check-up @ Raffles hospital, 2) Apply for Student pass @ ICA, 3) Apply for Ezlink card(which seems not possible).

I checked out the ICA website, the procedures for foreign student pass changed liao. Now must apply through internet, and must have a few more documents in order to apply online, which i don't think those foreign students have or know about. Working days needed: 3 days. Actually can apply by going there la, but need 5 working weeks, siao ah. The school needs to fill up a form,(which mr Daniel yeow didn't tell us yesterday, if not we would have printed out and complete it yesterday. The briefing was so brief and like "anyhow do one". The instructions by mr yeow mentioned tt just nid to bring 3 documents down and 1 day can get liaoz. Cannot be the ICA website is wrong right.

This is problematic. Without the student pass, ezlink card and bank account cannot be completed. And now, I've to bring them for check-up first to avoid the long afternoon queue, then after that go back to school to complete the neceesary forms. and then go to ICA in Lavendar to apply and wait(actually i can apply online for them in school la) so no choice.

Hope I'll survive today. I just still have to follow up with them ba. since the student pass needs to wait for quite long.
