somehow, i still find it surreal, that training basically ended today. well, technically it ends tomorrow, but tomorrow's all about having fun, and getting paid at the same time :)
i'm glad the assessment is over. the night before the assessment (tuesday night), i was tossing and turning in bed so badly and i couldn't fall asleep for ages. i had all sorts of images - from standing at the end of the pool jumping around with joy to sitting at the grandstands sobbing away -_- weird, aye?
but i'm REALLY glad it's over for now. if i continue with my job, then this will be repeated in 2 years. hahahaha~ but anyway, mr team leader was super supportive on that day. i'm usually quite cheerful in the morning, chatting away with my fellow training mates, but that particular morning (wednesday), i was just stoning away, looking really worried.
when mr team leader arrived, he came over to give me words of encouragement. one thing that i really like about my trainers, manager and team leader is that they never put the pressure on you. they'll just keep encouraging you, and make sure that we know they're there to help us through. when i was waiting for my turn to jump in to swim, there was this huge guy sitting beside me called Wills. he's like a massive teddy bear you've always wanted as a child, but if he was my teddy bear, i'll die of suffocation.
anyway, because he's such a nice teddy bear, and i was feeling very stressed, i kept punching him, and it felt good! haha, yes very mean of me, but he just went "WTF?!" everytime i punched in a funny way. then i explained to him that i am feeling very stressed :p and he said "okay! keep punching then!" LOL.
then i jumped in to swim with 2 other girls, and boy, i was struggling like a pig -_- mr team leader will be assessing my swimming aagin in 2-3 weeks, but hehe, it's a lot easier swimming at LEP than MAC coz i can stand! bwahahaha~ and mr team leader is super slack :p
so, what's on the agenda tomorrow? we've got our last bit of training tomorrow till 11am, then it's the NPLA (national pools lifeguard award) competition, which i am NOT taking part for obvious reasons, and then there's the BBQ to celebrate the end of our 3 weeks training, and it's back on site...except that well...sorry, i cant say what's gonna happen then :p just in case someone from MCC actually reads or comes across my blog!
then around 7.30, it's the staff dinner, so it's kinda like our "welcome" dinner. and that'll be at Thai Flame. i can somehow feel/ sense that there's an evil plot to try to get me to drink or get me pissed -.-" but either way, i have 2 very good mates that will look out for me, including mr team leader...since i'm the "baby" of LEP..in a way. not because i'm the youngest, but because i am the smallest. hehehehe. oh and mr manager will probably keep a look out for me too. since i'm his "good" staff. hahahahahahhaa. good, apparently :p if he only knew the things we get up to at work. *giggles*
ANYWAY, i'm officially starting work on Saturday, so if any of you's go to the gym/ physio/ pools at LEP, do come and say hi :D
gonna wait for daddy dearest to get hungry so we can go out for dinner. meantime, i will get out of my ridiculously HUGE uniform -_- i feel lost in it!
