i really dislike it when my family make arrangements without thinking about my needs. dad and bro made arrangements for bro's car to have AA inspection, so bro will be driving MY car away on wed, and we're left with NO car, except for our honda, which mum will be driving to work.

problem is, i start at 5am on wed, and how am i supposed to go to work? dad knows very well that i am working on wed, so why did he just arrange without asking me first?! i'm REALLY pissed because now i dont know what's going on. even tonight, i dont know who'll be picking me up from work.

we usually have 3 cars at home, but mum has sent her other car for servicing, hence leaving me with no car since dad needs my car to pick my sisters up.

this is REALLY frustrating you know. i have to work too..

it's so inconsiderate. what if i made arrangements to do something and leave them with nothing one day? gosh they'll probably disown me >"<

@ eastern beach

sis and i took a stroll along the beach the other day so i could play with my camera functions. i set it to manual and tweaked with a few settings, but since i'm a total n00b when it comes to things like that, my pictures ended up rather grainy....so just bear with me while looking through the pics ok?


this is my wee sis walking to the beach :) she's such a cutie!!


erm, the beach :p

OH HO HO! lookie it's me (ok fine. i'll stop being lame...)

i dont know why i got paid when i didnt work any of last week?

O.o

*rofl*

unwell :(

i've been having a headache for the last few days and it starts late evening. i had it yesterday while i was at work so i was pretty quiet towards the end of my shift. i thought it was due to all the incidents that happened at work, but apparently now. i had it the day before yesterday as well, and it was towards the end of my shift again. i think it's my lack of sleep catching up with me.

doesnt really help that i've got a mild sorethroat and runny nose to deal with along with the headache. the constant yawning is really driving me nuts. tonight will be an early night for me.

i really wanted to meet up with christine martin and tina tonight, but i dont think i'll be of good company with my splitting headache. i'll most likely stare into space and look really bored -.-" so i'm very very sorry loves....

anyway, i'm gonna help mum to prepare dinner now and be a good daughter like i should be :p

my secret ambition!

a while ago, i remember blogging about jimmy telling me that i should open an "asian" swim school because there are so many asians who cant swim and make us lifeguards jump in to safe them. i took it as a joke then because i thought "that's so ridiculous! why the heck would i open an ASIAN swim school?!"

i thought about what jimmy told me and i realised that since i've started working at LEP, cases where lifeguards had to jump in involved asian swimmers. i have had a few 'scares' myself, no thanks to asian swimmers as well, which is pretty upsetting.

that same night after jimmy's suggestion, i told my mum what had happened while i was at work and what jimmy had suggested to me. my mum thought it was a brilliant idea but i was still rather hesitant about it. i know i like teaching kids to swim and see the results at the end of it, BUT it's different when you teach kids how to swim occasionally AND teaching 'em little monsters EVERYDAY!

my mum then spoke to my dad about that idea, and my dad was rather keen about it. they all know how much i enjoy teaching kids how to swim and etc., so the following day, my mum continued the conversation with me and told me that she spoke to my dad and that he's quite keen on the idea. dad thinks that it will be successful if it's managed properly, and in the right location, offering the right kind of service to the people in the community (wah, i suddenly feel so mature typing that sentence!! LOL).

anyway, i told dad that i wouldnt mind teaching and running a swim school as long as he starts it up for me - i dont have the finance for it you see. so he said to me "concentrate on your studies first, and we can talk about this when you're done" to which i said "ok! when i come back from travelling overseas, you can fund my business. teehee!"

since then, i've thought a lot about it and with each passing day, i can actually see myself running a swim school and training young teachers how to teach swimming. and i'm actually looking forward to making that a dream come true :) i've basically decided that i dont want to work in food science field, because i reckon it'll be boring, especially after discovering how much i enjoy when i work with kids.

i used to think that i'm not the kind of person who has the patience to work with wee ones, but i was proven wrong time and time again, when i was teaching little kids how to swim. often, when i'm lifeguarding the lap pool at work, i'd rather offer help to teach kids who are trying to dive or trying to improve their technique. at times, i also explain certain techniques to adults who looks like they would appreciate some help (not all appreciate it) and i've had a lot of people thanking me at the end of the day for correcting them or teaching them..and that's what i like. i like to feel appreciated after doing something for people, but what's better is to see how they've improved.

so there you go. my secret ambition is to be a swimming teacher and to run my own swimming school, and not to be a food scientist :p dont ask me why i'm studying food science and not childhood education or sports and recreation or something. i dont know the answer to that question!

until today, it's only a PLAN, so dont come knocking on the door to ask me how to swim ok!

and dont laugh :p

seeing the world through slit eyes..

ok the title is random. i'm just too tired to think of something creative (not like i'm creative when i'm feeling 100% anyway!). but anyway, i have slit eyes now from all the late nights and lack of sleep.

BUT..it's all over for now! so glad that thursday evening is finally here, and all 3 exams are done!! today's exam wasn't bad coz i had a cheat sheet :"D which was really good, coz most of the theoretical questions that they asked were written neatly in my cheat sheet ^^ aren't i blessed ;)

i had such a good time laughing away and enjoying myself at my workplace today. i took my sisters for their swimming training, and because i was too tired, i decided not to swim. so i sat with daddle in the office talking bullocks to him, then he asked me to go on this new massager thingy but i refused coz it looked really weird and it was out in the open for the people to see >"< but don went on it and it looked like he really enjoyed it! *ppfffttt! i'll go another time :p

anyway...my little secret ambition. that's up next or tomorrow! coz i'm workibg tmrw, and i got some dvds so cut me some slack, but i promise it'll be up before the weekend :)

*pssst..

ps: look out for the following updates from tomorrow onwards:

• i'll let you in on my secret ambition :)
• my bedroom makeover (YAY YAY!!)
• my views on exams

till then, t00dles!
