food, glorious food..and FIRE!

hello :)

i am feeling better now. thanks to all who sent their love and concern ^^

i had the best day at work today, even though i was sneezing almost every 2 minutes, but it doesnt matter, because i enjoyed myself today.

let me tell introduce you to the layout of our swimming pool:

we have 5 pools in total. leisure, lap, spa, learning and splash. the swimming pool complex will be closed for 2 weeks for maintenance purposes so there wont be any swimming lessons or any swimming activities. we closed the lap pool today because it's pretty deep and it's got lots of water so it takes ages to drain it (we have to drain out all the water from the swimming pool for fixing and cleaning while we're closed). that means one pool less for us to watch. also, the learning pool was closed because..i dont know. it was just closed. so we're left to watch 3 pools.

now, the spa doesnt really need to be watched at all times, but a quick check every now and then would be good so that we'll know when someone faints there (lots of people faint after coming out of the spa coz they get dehydrated). that means...we only have 2 pools to watch. and we had 7 people on duty.

the other day, brendon suggested that we have a big feed on sunday (today) because it'll be so breezy and fun so we brought all the food today and started the BBQ and cooked up a huge feed. HEHEHE. we had burgers and sausages and dumplings and what nots. all the staff took turns to go into the learning pool to have a feed and when we're full and bloated, we'll send someone else to go into that pool to eat and it goes on and on until the food runs out.

so that made me one happy girl :D heh. also, the pool wasn't too busy today so it was really fun ;) but i was up at the office most of the time, doing some work for darryl about operating the swimming pool and what to do in an emergency. i kinda know everything now coz i had to proof read everything for him. anyway, it was good times up at the office. every now and then, a few staff will come in and we'll have fits of laughter, good times mocking darryl and making fun of other people and etcetc. heh, we're such mean people!

anyway, it was a good day all in all. i dont know why it made me so happy, but i just am, even though i had to miss church and wake up at 6.10 in the morning -.-"

and something really interesting happened (yes, i saved the best for the last). we went out for dinner tonight, and on the way home, my dad suddenly decided to go get the Borat dvd. but it was a bit too late as we were already out of the way to the video store. anyway, my dad was meant to take a turn into one of the streets so it'll lead him to the video store, but he took the wrong one and had to go make a u-turn at the end of the street coz it was a dead end.

then suddenly, my mum saw a small fire, so she said "oh! someone's have a BBQ!" and i said "oooohh yummers! can we self-invite ourselves? hehehe". as we drove closer, we realised that they weren't having a BBQ but their mailbox was on FIRE! my mum sent down and tried to alert the people in the house but there wasn't anyone and they had a gate outside so we couldnt knock on their door.

so i went down as well and ran to their neighbour's house and told them what happed. they came out to have a look and my dad told them to get some buckets of water to put the fire out. at the same time, my mum managed to alert the other neighbours and one of them rang the ES (emergency services) and when he was almost done giving the information, we've managed to put out the fire.

the weird thing was, the fire started out of nowhere. when we turned into that street, no one was seen running around or driving away. and there wasn't anyone home at that time. the neighbours were all at home but they didnt know that their neighbour's property was on fire....in a way, it made me and my family really suspicious coz we were there out of the blue and we were the only one who saw the fire.

it's just weird..how my dad took the wrong turn and we stumbled upon an incident like that...

anyway, some photos from rb's 21st....all of myself :p



ok toodles!
