w00t!

the day turned out to be better than i thought it would be :)

didn't get grilled by mr manager or team leader from yesterday's incident...hehehe. good good :D but then, i wasn't given a chance to react. Andre reacted WAY too fast.

this was the incident:
it was 6.30pm, and i decided to start hosing down the lap pool area. i was standing on the deep end, with my back towards the pool but i turned to check the pool every few seconds. while i was hosing, i saw andre running really quick from the poolside office and grabbed hold of the throw rope, and the next thing i knew, i saw a lady struggling in the water and andre was right beside her. i put the hose down, and helped pull the lady to the side. when everything was alright, i stood at the side and asked andre what happened.

he said: i saw you turn around to check on the pools while hosing. but the moment you turned back around, the lady started struggling so i came running from the office! phew!!

and i just went -__________-

it happened in the blink of an eye. seriously...if andre didn't see her struggling, it would've taken me a few more seconds to get to her. coz well, i do check the pools every few seconds. funny thing was, the lady was laughing when we pulled her to the side. apparently, she ran out of breath -.-" coz the last time i checked on her before she struggled, everything was fine. she was doing her breast stroke and yeah, like andre said, the moment i turned around, she was struggling. sheesh! bad timing, yo!

but i felt SO bad ok. i was so quiet for the rest of the night, and the other lifeguards had to keep checking up on me -_- and i was kinda worried that i'll get grilled by mr manager or my team leader. before i started my shift this morning, i talked to mr team leader, and he didnt even know about the incident. so i told him about it, and he just smiled. hehe...

i'll do a better job next time. from now on, i'm not gonna start hosing at 6.30pm like what i was told by a lifeguard. every lifeguard has a different method of doing things, but i think i'll start hosing once the pool is empty. i dont trust myself hosing AND watching the pools at the same time...!

that aside, andre seems to think i'm a competent swimmer -.-" he is a very competent swimmer...and you should see him swim. hahahaha. he swims in his speedos and i crack up everytime i see someone i know in their speedos. *rofl* but anyway, yes, andre is a very good swimmer. the other day he asked me "oh, how many laps are you doing today?" and i gave him a look and then said "errr...until i get tired!" and he went "...."

then today, when i got off work at 6pm, i changed into my bikini and jumped in for a short swim, and hopped into the spa. then andre saw me and said "mm, you just cant get enough of this place aye? it's like, you wanna be here all the time..." and i said "uhhh...no...i wanna get OUT of this place right NOW! i'm not like you...!"

-_-

if he knew how crap i am at swimming...hahahahahhaa....but anyways, he's really nice! he's the only nice guy at work. the others all mock/ tease me a lot. like stupid trent, who calls me midget. then shorty. then malaysia ("ooh! how you doing there, malaysia?"). then now, the latest, is oompa-loompa -.-" he got a good smack on his stomach for calling me that. nyehehehehe.

i think i've ranted too much. anyhoo, gonna go sort my hair out before i go out..ciao!
