see-saw

had a see-saw day today,

started out by breaking the key to the main doors whilst opening up. good thing i had already opened up the back door, so at least it was accessible. bad part was that part of the key was stuck.

half an hour later, i got the key out, so not so bad. stuck signs directing ppl to the rear door. business resumed as usual. luckily one of the bosses came by and had a spare key so i managed to get a duplicate.

then my game had a see-saw too.
played with SD, giving him a rack in a race to 7 for the table, lost the first 4-7, won the second 7-3. played very differently in each set. (2 hours)
then he had to go back for classes so i played S and self-destructed 1-5. (0.5 hours) 
had a quick lunch and played G, did the same thing as the previous game and lost narrowly 6-7, recovered and played very well, winning 7-3, before self-destructing 3-7. (3.5 hours)
rested and had dinner, did my work and then played short races with N, winning both races 3-0, 3-1. (0.5 hours)
ZJ dropped by with his sports camp friends and played but i think it was like 4-9 (we didn't keep score) and him being generous. (1 hour)

Total playing time today: 3+0.5+3.5+0.5+1 = 8.5 hours

Totally drained. wasn't even thinking towards the end when i was playing ZJ.


thot of holding a competition on saturday mornings at century, might plan something and tell AK soon heh.

a bad tackle, a lost game, a car accident

did a full shift on saturday..and was so bored waiting for my dinner to arrive i did this,






then sunday came, and i found out there's a new day between friday and saturday, and its called "Lisa"






went for a match with joseph and his team. didn't play very well, we went from 2-1 up at half time to 3-4 at full time =/ took a bad tackle to the right ankle when the opposition midfielder tackled me and got my ankle instead of the ball. but its ok now i guess.

then after the match, we had a screech of tires and a loud bang. ran out and found out there was an accident between a car and lorry. dunnoe who's right or wrong but it did look kinda bad. fortunately there was no major injuries, just probably a concussion for the driver.

for those who caught 300..

and for those who did not,

go check this out, its insanely funny!

its been one week since...

i started work.

(to those thinking otherwise, shame on you!)

ended the first week of work with a full shift. and this is how my usual counter would look like,





on the right, is the "Waiting List", on top is the "Registration Book", left is the "Other Daily Sales Record" and on the bottom is the "Time Sheet"

well, if you thought working from 10am - 7pm was draining enough, i would recommend the full experience from 10am-2am! i've never felt 16 hours feel so long before! granted, it moved quicker when sarah was around, and when there was to do heh.

on the bright side, since my day shift pay is counted at the end of the month only, whilst the night shift gets to take some cash back every night, it earned me some much-needed extra pocket money.

on the dark side, a 15 year old kid sneaked in and i didn't spot him until the police did a quick lookaround. sigh =/ also man u lost 1-2 to portsmouth! DOHHHHHH!!

anyways, just a short update on the week.

ran on wednesday after basketball (only played 1/2 an hr) and learnt a good lesson, don't run when you're tired or have lack of sleep =/ (slept at 2am on sunday, 2am on monday, 2am on tuesday)

then this sleep debt carried on to thurs, where we gathered at jurong lake park to celebrate jon's birthday with Laser Tag. so happy birthday JON! unfortunately we did not succeed in our plans to throw him into the lake ;) but it was great fun all around. went for drinks/supper and jon created a new drink/dessert, Teh-O Lychee Jelly Cocktail!






and i slept at 4am..! =/

so its no wonder that on friday i was just ready to crash. so ready that on the bus to Good Friday service, i fell asleep and only woke up 2 stops after the supposed stop. genius. got to church abt 1/2 an hr after service started.

konked right out after supper with my relatives and well i survived today!

question is, will i survive tmrw?

settling in

more or less settled in to my job at century. been doing a lot of extras (like stuff the night shift is supposed to do) but i don't mind. kinda taken to it like exercise ;)

cept for the waking up every morning at 8 to be on time for work, i've been doing late nights like 2am for 3 days running.

and looking at the forecast of events, tmrw will be tiring day cuz of jon's laser tag party late into the night. so i'm supposed to sleep early today. but heh i still need to burn another disc for my own use at century =p

so anyways, happy birthday debbie and jon!

first day of work

contrary to popular belief, working at a pool hall does not mean free play! =/

anyways its a no brainer job ;) just cleaning tables and working the meter. how difficult can it get?

also got this crazy idea to run to work everyday for like 2 weeks. haha..bet i'll be quite fit after that. only thing stopping the plan is the lack of shower facilities =/

otherwise i think it'll be really cool..i'll still go and try it out one of these days ;)

first day wasn't so bad, it'll come easier with ease! =)
