yawn...

I"M FINALLY HOME!!! after spending 31 hours outside...it's seriously tiring, but it was FUN!

shall start with the day we had to be at work at 630am for stock take:
bought breakfast for ailian and simon from macs and ate breakfast at the canteen that always stinks. started work at about 645 cos simon was super late and as usual, ailian ate slowly. haha. sam and i were assigned to the colour room where we had to make sure the workers weighed the chemicals properly and recorded it correctly, and then sign on the paper to prove that we checked it. it was really stuffy inside and the smell of the leather didnt help one bit. after a while i felt like vomiting and was a little dizzy, so i had to lean against one of the containers to keep myself from swaying. the workers went for their break at 830 and sam and i went into the airconditioned production office to rest. came back out at 9 and started doing audits again but felt much better after the rest. duncan happened to be there doing something with the computer, didnt have much time to chat with him cos the workers were weighing the chemicals at the other end of the room, so had to follow them around. yvonne came around a few times to make sure everything was okay and i asked her about how to get a small piece of leather so that i could use it as a mouse pad. i saw the workers use those leather to wipe their hands clean so i thought i would probably be worthless. yvonne was so NICE! she helped me ask the production ppl and let me choose from about 6 different leather samples. sam took one too. she said that these samples were actually being sold as scrap but it didnt matter if we took a few. so nice right?? i just love her. haha.

the stock take lasted till 11 plus and ailian and simon ended their's much earlier. went back up to our office and ailian was already gone. haha. we all took half day leave cos it was a little tiring for us to continue working till, ailian left at 1030 so didnt get to say goodbye. mark came at about 12 plus to pick us up and he drove us to his house so that he could change into something nicer for dinner outing with sam at night, and i finally got to see how his farm looked like. i expected much more, but guess in singapore most farms look like that. haha. it's pretty cool though. and then when he was done he drove us back home.

reached home about 2 and took a short nap before meeting yongqi at dover MRT. finally going down to play squash!!! dan was there by the time we got down and he was playing a match with gladys. there was a competition organised by SMU that was going on in SP and some of my squash juniors and seniors signed up for it. i didnt know bout it so i didnt sign up for it, but even if i knew i probably wouldnt have the time and energy to go train everyday after work. got myself an empty court and played a match with yongqi. he won the first set and our scores were pretty close, but then during the second match he started to cough real badly so he had dan come in and play with me. haha. dan's crazy larrr!!! make me run like hell. haha. my thighs were aching by the end of the match and dan kept laughing at my face cos it was super red! haha. my face always turns red when i do sports, but he said that this time was redder then any of the other time i squashed. i think it was becos of the red bull i drank before the game. haha.

watched some of the matches that went on while i rested, and i was trying to hide my face at the same time. if not ppl would have came up to me and comment bout how red my face was. hurmph. dan went to play a game with one of the bruni guys. there were a bunch of them involved in the games, and they were apparently hired by singapore to be mercenaries. and they were all damn fit. hot bods, tan, hot bods....haha. dan's game ended about 930 and we were suppose to go eat the hokien mee near my home, and dan's been wanting to try for ages, but after cooling down and stuff it was already close to 10. so we decided to go chomps instead since dan had the car. the whole ride there was kinda scary cos yongqi wanted to try drive to chomps and dan had to sit beside him to guide him there, and during the whole trip dan was nagging at yq, or should i say passionately coaching. haha. he stalled the car twice in the middle of the high way, but there was a jam so luckily no cars were speeding behind us or i did be the first to die =S

odered the usual yummies at chomps and yq treated us. i think he had too much money left from his japan trip so he wanted to spend it all. haha. surprisingly i didnt cost alot. for 3 ppl to eat there and spend less then 40 is considered a miracle. haha. dan sent yq back home, and cos sam and jet were spending the night out and dan was too lazy to drive me all the way home from bishan and i also had to be at douby ghaut at 9 the next morning to meet the youths, i spent the night at his place. thought of going to ken's but didnt wanna bother him. we talked until about 2 and then decided to go sleep, but when the lights were off, we continued talking cos somehow we was not as tired as when the lights were still switched on. heh. i think i only fell asleep at 3 plus 4.

was suppose to get up at 730, but i lazed around and only went to wash up at 825. lol. was late, but i kinda knew that the rest would be late so i didnt rush myself. dan walked me to the bus stop at the back of his house and i took a bus to toapayoh and then a train down to douby ghaut. met up with the peeps and only headed for east coast at about 10. deb nic and me wanted to blade while the kids wanted to cycle. but cos the blades were renting for 10 bucks per 2 hours and the bikes were 5 bucks per 2 hours, we kinda went for the bikes in the end. my thighs were aching from squashing and i had to strain a little just to peddle across grass patches and up slope. we cycled to where the walk-for-bibles carnival was held and i kinda expected more excitment. i thought there would be tons of ppl, ballons flying everywhere and plenty of games, but it was quite a sad scene. haha. there were only 3 activity stations there and tug of war was one of them. we wanted to participate, but they were already in the middle of their competition so we went to sit at the beach instead. lydia, jessie and jun may were playing near the waters, and apparently they were playing "SIAM the wave!" haha. but then this weird wave came so smoothly and then all of a sudden jumped up into a bigger wave and soaked their shoes. haha. the 3 of them had to go barefooted cos it was disgusting to let their feet be squished into wet shoes. we had free lunch from the carnival and then went back to return our bikes. i lent lydia and jun may the slippers i was wearing and they took a side each, so they could hop around on one leg where the floor was burning hot. and i wore my squash shoes cos they were with me.

after the whole thing the other people took a bus to uncle joseph's house while i shared a cab back with that 3 girls cos they obviously couldnt take the bus with one slipper each. sent them to jessie's house so that they could wash up before heading down to uncle joseph's for the pirates marathon. i came home cos i need a nice hot shower and to get out of my smelly squash shirt and shorts. will be meeting them at jurong point later tonight to watch pirates 3.

back to work tmw! hmm, just found out that simon was "sacked" because there were too many temp staff and too little things to do. haha. sam and i covered most of ailian's duties so she also was slacking and doing her work extra slowly so she wouldnt have to go looking around for work that needs to be done, like what sam and i have been doing for the past week. but i think it'll get busier for me next week cos the perm staff that took over my duties have so much more to complete and it's already the month end closing. i really wonder how she'll survive next month when i would no longer be available to help her with her duties....

think i'll go take a short nap now. dun wanna fall asleep half way through pirates...

cheers :)
