THOSE LOVELY MEMORIES (:

last week was a rather lousy week for me,in the sense that there are just too many things happening at the same time and i don't know how to cope with it. i'm feeling much better now after those encouragements. instead of giving up when faced with a few setbacks,i think i should just make the best out of everything. i know i'm not the only one who is facing this,so perhaps i shouldn't be too affected by those stuffs. i admit i was very hurt after knowing about it,but come to think of it,we should all learn how to accept criticisms and comments. maybe only through these comments,we get to know where are our weaknesses and faults,from there,we try to improve on it :D

we had our kayaking lesson on thurs,and it was the last lesson. i just love the capsize drill (: we learnt about the t-shaped rescue which is to be done by 3 people. one of them is the victim,the other 2 being a main rescuer and an assistant rescuer. we formed into groups are 3s to practise doing the different roles,and i was with theresa and joey. hong hui,chong ee and kah wai were in a group. chong ee was the victim,kah wai the main rescuer and hong hui the assistant rescuer. so chong ee did the capsize drill and kah wai was suppose to rescue him by emptying the water in his kayak and turning it back so that chong ee could get in the kayak again. and as kah wai was emptying the water,chong ee did some funny actions and it made kah wai laugh till his kayak capsized too. then,aaron and hong hui went to rescue kah wai while theresa and me went to rescue chong ee. it ends up that chong ee did the same stupid action and it made me laugh until my kayak capsized also. haha,in the end,aaron and hong hui capsized themselves too. lol,and it all started in an attempt to rescue chong ee =X but anyway,all of us passed the course and managed to get our 1-star,woots! =D i think i'll be going for the 2-star course either during this hols or after o lvls next year. yay! i love kayaking! :]

there's the Subaru WRX Competition going during the weekend at ngee ann city. by the way,if you guys don't know what it is,it's a competition whereby the competitors have to put their hands on the car and the one who endures the longest wins a Subaru WRX. they are only given a 5 min break every 6 hours so you can imagine how tough it is. lol,alright,back to the topic. so they needed people there to promote coffee and i went to work there with pris,theresa,milfred and pris's cousin felicia. we were promoting Super Rich Coffeemix,haha. sat was our first day of work and our shift was from 7am to 4pm. we reached at 6.50am and went to change into our shirts (we had to wear the t-shirt provided by the company). there were many people there queuing up for the registration for the competition,so we started out by going around to serve the people with samples of the coffee. the sales only started to come in during the afternoon. it isn't wasy,cause you have to keep repeating the same thing over and over again to all of the customers. now i know why people always say "the customer's always right". no matter how rude they are or how bad their attitude is,we still got to put a smile on our face and be nice. we started work slightly later at 8am on sunday and maybe because we were more experienced then,we managed to sell more of the products =) by the end of the 2 days,my feet were aching very badly,and i think it was because of my footwear. we had to wear covered shoes and i wore flats. didn't want to wear sport shoes cause it looks weird. anyway,it was a wonderful experience,although it ain't easy but the feeling of earning your own money is simply great =] i'm currently looking for a job so if anyone of you have any jobs at hand,do recommend me! thanks! :D



when all you got to keep is strong
move along, move along like I know you do
and even when your hope is gone
move along, move along just to make it through
