Old School
 No, I'm neither talking about fashion style nor the bygone era, here. Old School is actually a building found in Singapore. Haha. How many of U knew its existence? Frankly, I never knew about it till I saw it with my own eyes! :P Well, even though Old School is strategically located in the Dhoby Ghaut area, it is still not visible from the ground level (as in the ground level of Plaza Singapura) because, it is located high up on a hill called Mount Sophia. It is actually right behind the McDonald's House and it's extremely "tiring" to get there.
 Why U ask? Well, the only way up to Mount Sophia by foot, is to climb a flight of staircase. U either go through that route or take a cab up. Till now, I wonder why I chose the former but U know what? I totally had no regrets! The view from up there was so breathtaking! I instantly felt like I've done hiking a well known hill or something. Hahahaha! Sadly, it's not any cooler up there. I was sweating like crazy!! Still, after resting for a while, I was just fine and went on to check out the Old School.
 Now, after much talking, U must be wondering what on earth am I doing there right? Hahaha. No worries, I'm not the adventurous sort of person so I will never be somewhere without a clear purpose. :P I was actually called up by Mercury Marketing to attend a briefing regarding the Audi Fashion Festival which is taking place real soon. I'm glad that my application to volunteer as an Usher has been approved! They actually did a major cut from the whole lot so I consider myself fortunate to have been picked. Hehe.
 Well, sadly, my journey from home to Mount Sophia took almost an hour but the briefing lasted barely 5 minutes. Imagine?! But still, the view from the top compensate for everything. If not for the briefing, I wouldn't have been to the Old School. Oh, I also got to check out their super cool "Black & White" office! ;)
We all learn or see something new each day, no? That's why I love my life and I'm so living it to the fullest. Hahaha!
P/S: Yuni Aziz from Mercury Marketing had just e-mailed me my slot. She's so kind to give me 6 shows to volunteer. I really can't wait to see Ashley Isham, Marc by Marc Jacobs & Raoul runway collection! Woohoo! :D
Regards,
