my demanding job
i've been so busy.. i didnt realised that i havent blog since last monday.
23 - 24 Sep 06, Sat & Sun
anyway.. i dont really remember what i have done last week. over the weekends, i was working. went to almost all the outlets to make sure everything goes smoothly. on sat, i had dinn with my family at joo heng cos it was my aunt and uncle's wedding anniversary. oh! theres was a commotion in the house on monday cos i couldnt find my mobile. but i remembered very clearly that i brought it home the day before. keong managed to find it in the evening, under the cushion of the couch.
25 - 26 Sep 06, Mon & Tue
after working every single day for 2 weeks, my body couldnt take it any longer. i took mc on monday. monday night, val called to inform me that we'll be having a training the next day. she'll be meeting me at tanjong pagar at 8.45am. it wasnt easy to drag myself out of bed on tuesday morning. i managed to find my way to m hotel but i was late for 15mins (val took a cab there cos she was late). got a call from my client while i was trying to find my way there and i got a scolding for being late. =/
val and i only realised that the duration of the training was 1 1/2 day instead of 1 day when we saw the agenda. but i have to say the training was really useful. we are superusers now. besides that, we get to eat yummy food. haha! another surprise came at the end of the first day training, when the organiser asked if we were joining them for dinn at clarke quay jumbo. val politely accepted cos she said it wasnt nice to reject even though we have tons of work on hand. we rushed back to the office for 1/2 hour to finish up whatever work that we have to, before taking a cab to jumbo.

i was glad to be back at the office on wednesday afternoon. i have a mountain of things to do, so much that im disorganised and i dont know what to do. in the late evening, i joined my colleagues at edward's farewell gathering at alley bar.

thursday morning, i couldnt get up. i decided to take mc but i didnt do so. i went to the office in the early afternoon cos i just couldnt not go to work. my mobile had been beeping and ringing, i couldnt even have a good sleep. i was having my bike lesson that evening and i told my boss that i have to leave at 6pm. guess what? i only left the office at 6.32pm. i was so desperate to get a cab that i decided to call for a cab despite the $4 booking fee and $2 peak. the fare started from $8.50 and the cab fare was freaking $17++ when i got there. and i was like 25mins late. the cabbie already tried to rush asap but the traffic was just very bad.i was so glad when the instructor didnt scold me. mr nice instructor. i like~! haha. my slope was simply horrible. its either i forget the signal, stumble when i try to stop (struggling to balance myself) or i stop in the center instead of either sides. then, it was figure 8. mr nice instructor brought me and another guy to warm up at the parade before going to the actual figure 8 circuit. my timing was 13+secs. after doing the figure 8 a couple of times, mr nice instructor told me that he would pillion me through the figure 8. i said okie then i proceed to go into the crank course. i was trying to do the 2nd turn (left turn) but i just couldnt turn the steering... *bang* i flew off the bike. i think i was nervous when i couldnt turn and i was struggling to balance. unknowingly and naturally, i turn the trotter way too much. the result of travelling at a high speed before banging into the curb and flying off the bike was a bruise the size of my palm. mr nice instructor came running over to help me move the bike aside and start the bike. then, he pillion me through figure 8. the next time, my timing improved 1+ sec. 12+secs. lol. in fact, it was one of the best out of the many tries. my average timing was 12.8secs. i just couldnt break the 12secs mark. but i supposed theres a great improvement from the last lesson, 15.15secs. looking forward to the next lesson on saturday. after my lesson, i saw keong at cdc. he was there for his driving lesson. it was nice to see him. =)
