Our class visited the Yakult factory today! Do u know that yakult is sold in 26 countries, but only Singapore has flavoured yakult? The other 25 countries have the original flavour only. And that only Singapore's yakult comes with straws, while the rest don't? Mayb coz we sux? haha... and the standard size is 65ml per bottle, while in Singapore, we display our unique trait of kiasu-ism by having 100ml bottles.

I forgot our guide's name. But this man is damn farnie. For approximately 75% of the time, he was NOT talking abt yakult. lolx!~ Wasn't this supposed to be a chemistry trip to learn more yakult production n how they culture the lactobacillus n wadeva else?

Btw, that guide was so pro-govt... lolx!~ Issues raised: 1) importance of mastering chinese - he sees potential in the china mkt... 2) declining population - he was encouraging us to procreate... 3) Guys should go NS and become an officer - then he kept tellnig us abt his 3 sons, the first one being a comando n previously from vj or smth... 4) healthy lifestyle - besides the pt that we shud all drink yakult (inevitable advertisement), he was encouraging all the guys to keep fit.. errr like him...

[1] He started giving explanations in chinese, thou he is truely a singaporean, as shown by his singlish that has a whole mixture of mandrin, english n hokkien.. and den he began asking ard for china ppl and telling others to build up good ties with them for future benefit... lolx!~

[2] He was kinda worried for singapore's future population, and was despreately trying to persuade us to haf more children in the future... this guy is apparently qte proud of the fact that he has 3 kids (3 sons for that matter)... he kept telling our class guys to challenge him and beat him, ie. haf more kids. Oh btw, he seems particularly interested in jireh, asking him to have 4 kids. Poor mrs chua! lolx!~ Meanwhile, cc kept dodging away... jus stating an observation here =)

[3] He told us that he was an officer in the army and his son is a commando. Who cares? haha.. he's particularly interested in the well-being of the guys huh? nvm.. Not interested in elaborating on this...

[4] He shared with us, how he used 3 chairs to do inclined push-ups in his office every morning.. den he kept drawing our attention to his 'firm' chest... wth... and also introduced a whole plethora of other exercises... he gave this real long speech abt his pro 3-min exercise, but when he finally got to demo it, it was just jumping jacks. dotx. Oh yar, den jireh openly suan him by reminding him not to neglect crunches. *recalls his pot-belly* haha... good job man!~ And he praised jl n jireh for looking fit, while telling ws to do more of his recommended exercises... lolx!~ i think jl looked qte happy (efforts paid off), whereas ws jus looked how paiseh lar.. Wahahahaa... At first i thot he was referring to ben, coz he was standing in front of ws, den somehow he siam-ed away, and everyone jus stared at ws and burst out laughing... lol!~ *no offence*

Overall, we were qte entertained by this guide (who btw loves pretty girls and not really so for aunties). So yar, end of our visit at the yakult factory... Ohhh, on the bus trip back i showed them the rubber band trick, and i think i got them qte amused! hee~ Bringing laughters to the stressed out students - a good deed for the day!~ yepp, that's it... *the pro-magician waves goodbye*

ps: i met nadia todayyy... i miss my twelvers!!! awww....
