<< Travelling tips >>

Met up with Mr Lum, my jc economics teacher.
We chatted from 12 to 6pm and I always feel inspired after hearing him talked.
I have never thought that we will be that close.
I used to hate him during junior college becoz I dun like economics.
I can still rem how he suan me during lesson and I was given the title 'public enemy' by him!

We had lunch, coffee, cakes at this place Sha Villa.
It is a 3 star hotel which hire students from shatec.
There is a restaurant named Rosette which provides really excellent service which is comparable to a 5 stars hotel. The food is nice too.
And surprisingly the food is not that expensive as I thought it would be given their excellent service.
Highly recommended it to u guys! It is at 64 Lloyd Road.

I always wonder how money changer make money by exchanging currency notes.
He is the best person to ask and really learn alot of things from him.
And this topic leads to overseas travelling.

Here are some of the useful tips given him:
1. Never use your credit card when travelling. It is not safe and you will be charged higher when converted back to singapore currency.
2. Record the reference number of your credit card somewhere in case you lose your wallet. Take note of the last three number too at the back of your credit card where your signature is.
3. If you are carrying alot of currency notes with you, put it into a zip lock plastic bag and slip in under ur feet. A robber will never expect you to hide your money there. (omg he really did that!)
4. Never rush during the rush hour.
5. Never open your mouth to speak in a different language country esp in crowded place.
6. Money changer recommend: Go to OG chinatown, walk thro the OG and you will see a hawker centre. Turn left and you will see a money changer at a corner. Thats the one.
7. Avoid going to the money exchanger on friday afternoon. The exchange rate is lower.
