someone shat in the pools today

-_-

and yesterday too, but i wasnt there to witness it.

but i was there to witness today's mishap...

it was one HUGE pile alright. and one in particular, which found its way to a corner, was SUPER HUGE.

now everytime when i'm eating, that image of that huge piece of poop will come to mind.

photoblog: Mt Ruapehu ski trip

i am very free now, and i have nothing to do. so, why not blog right? what to blog? hmm, my long overdue post about my ski trip sounds good :p enjoy!


obligatory photo: walk up to someone and SNAP!


sis and i - first time up on the slopes :)


cant remember when/ where this photo was taken, but i have a feeling i was on the chair lifts then


pretty sight ;)


quite a bit of uncovered brown land. maybe coz it was late season when we went :p i wanna go again next year! when the snow is super thick. who's up for it?



i love both these pictures. i had the second one on "scenery" setting and it turned out really pretty :) like a postcard picture!


a little fountain up on the slopes. interesting huh?


it got really misty at one point, my sis and i were shivering in our seats!


looking down..from where we were. nice scenery - everything was so breath taking!


erm..pretty? i dunno what to say :p


sis and i half way up the mountain -_- it's a long way up!

and then we took more chair lifts up the mountain. the higher we went, the colder we got. and then we just went up to a point until we couldnt go any higher. then we went back down. bracing the wind *shudders at thought of how cold it was*

i'm still amazed how i got through that long day. first of all, i only had 2 hours of proper sleep. the rest of the time, i was napping in the car. but i was full of energy that day!

anyway, after skiing, bro drove us to taupo, and that's where we stayed. it stank -.-" we checked into our hotel, and got everything sorted. then we were out again, for the gondola and sky line. got lost on the way there, but after a few turns, we were back on track and we saw the sky line!

so we got our tickets (i got in for free!), walked a wee bit, and hopped onto the skyline. took some pictures on the way up:


i believe that's lake taupo? LOL


and this is my cheeky sis pulling a face. but i absolutely HEART this photo. she looks SO adorable here *sigh* i miss her...


while waiting for our turn to go on the gondola.

man those gondolas are funnn! if only i didnt have to look after my sis :p i could've gone faster!


sis and i after the gondola, on the chair lifts to go back up. we both got SCOOPED off our feet to get onto this chair lift and boy, it hurts!


took this while waiting for my bro to go on his 2nd round

they had 3 paths i think. scenery, intermediate and expert. i went on the scenery one, coz my sis was too much of a scaredy cat to go on the intermediate, let alone expert path. but oh well, it was still fun :)

so yeah. that's basically the end of this photoblog. summary of the ski trip? i fell over 3 times (or was it 4?), scraped my palm on ice, and my feet were very achy after wearing the ski boots for a long time -_- it was fun nevertheless!

weird people at the pools :p

life would be..

so different without my sisters around.

they're the ones who makes the house go noisy and alive. i know i do complain about them making noises and such, but you know, since they left on thursday, the house has been so quiet.

the only form of noise comes from my speaker, occassionally the telly and dad and i talking. and that's about it. i come home from work to a dead house, with no one to giggle and be silly with :(

i was ranting to mr team leader yesterday about how my house is so quiet without my mum and sisters around, and he just smirked. dont know the smirk was for..

and while i was watching the splash/ kiddies pool yesterday, i was reminiscing about the times when both my sisters were still young. meili was super adorable when she was younger. she was really fair and super chubby and playful. it was my first time being the elder sister, and she was my little bundle of joy then! now that she's all grown up, things have changed. meiyen on the other hand, was more of a bulligan. she likes to bully meili even though meili's older than her. and well, let's just say meiyen was one heck of an interesting kid :p

also, when i was watching the kids in the learner's pool for the birthday party, i was thinking back to the time when meiyen celebrated her birthday in there. that was like, 2.5 years ago. gee, time sure flies huh? i remember giving a slice of cake to the lifeguard watching the kids at that time, but howcomes those parents didnt give me one? LOL, not that i wanted a slice...the cake looked...scary with all the coloured icing on it -.-

mum and sis left on thursday, and dad and i have been eating out since then. on thursday, we went to the vietnamese restaurant along aviemore drive, friday i was out for dinner with my company and saturday, i worked till 8, so dad said he'll sort out his own dinner. anyway, after work i drove to the same vietnamese restaurant along aviemore drive, and stood outside their entrance txting my dad asking if he wanted anything. when i was done, i opened the door, heard someone's phone go off, and saw my dad, bro and his fiance there. interesting, eh? it was totally random. the first thought that came to mind was "eh?! i know that guy there! oh, it's dad!" heehee!

so bro and his fiance left after a while, then dad took off for a walk, and i was left alone to finish my dinner -_- picked dad up on the way home...and that basically summed up my evening. oh, i watched 24 with dad later that night and that was it~

during the day, i woke up around 10, got ready to go to work, had brekkie, packed lunch and etc. then at work, i was told to shadow with a senior lifeguard, and he was telling me how he got smashed the previous night after the company dinner. then he told me that his missus smacked the back of his head with a bottle. i laughed so badly and then he gave me the evils. and i just went "oops! ouch!"

then later, he asked how old i am. see, they all had an evil plot to get me drunk on friday night, but they thought i wasn't legal yet. they thought i was around 16-18. hehehe. but anyway, when he asked me how old i was, i told him to guess. his first guess was 17. and it slowly build up to 21. then he told me that i was older than him by 5 months -_- but he looks WAY older than me :p another senior lifeguard said i have a babyface. hahahaha, interesting i must say..

and then another lifeguard, who's 19, thought i was 18. the look on her face was priceless when i said that i'm 21. hehehehe. and i found out mr team leader is only 24 this year, and he has TWO kids! my goodness! and he looks as if he's....maybe around 30? must be the bald head and his moustache! the only person who looks close to his age is jimmy, who's 21 as well i think, but he still looks older than me :p

ahh, the joy of looking young....

photoblog

me looking like a retard :p but look! my hair is a lot shorter :( at least it's not so frizzy anymore..

me and my $15 top. hehehe that's how i went for the LEP staff dinner and Ben's little gathering

front view. yes, i know i look short and stubby. and i have very short legs. shut up already!

side view of me wearing my ridiculously big uniform

O.o

i feel super blur today.
and i didnt put on my scottish ears today, so i could hardly understand what mr team leader was saying to me all day.

at one point, i even said to him "speak english!" and he just started at me. i felt so stupid after that >"< he WAS speaking english! blahhh...

and sometimes, he'll have to repeat THREE times before i get him. sometimes FOUR. sometimes FIVE. TWICE if he's lucky!

i have NO idea what is wrong with me. nyeeerrr~ maybe i'm just tired :p

oh, i got a whistle :D

mr team leader: *holds up a whole bunch of whistles*
amy: *stares at all the colours*
mr team leader: *jingles bunch of whistles*
amy: *pulls on the black whistle*
mr team leader: BLACK!?!?!
amy: well, you dont have pink, do you???
mr team leader: *rolls eyes*

see. it's either black or pink. no pink, then black. no black, then i refuse to have a whistle.

8.5 hours at work today. *counts* OI!!! i just realised i didnt take my last 10 minutes break! NOT FAIRRRRRRRR!!! oh wells, nvm :p

compared to my other workmate, i had a pretty slack day today. hehehe. because i was with mr team leader most of the time, and he's very slack :p he got me to do all the easy jobs like taking stuff out for a birthday party, do water tests/ treatment (which is pretty boring, but it's better than standing at poolside), go to the office and pick some stuff up for him, and just...sit/ stand around and chat.

HAHAHAHA.

what did my workmate do? well, he had to stand at poolside for 8 hours. nyehehe. and he only got to do water treatment/ tests ONCE! i got to do twice. WAHAHAH~

anywway, i'm ranting way too much. tired. sleepy. hands are sore from hosing down the pools and helping mr team leader finish up his work. -_-

okay, first of all, since when was i a staff of the university?! maybe, like Christine said, it was that one day when we worked for Courses and Careers Day. or maybe because i was a uniguide and an i-space buddy? oh, i dunno -_-

anyway, i am not interested. it costs $90! pffft, i have better things to do with $90 than to spend it on a 3 course meal and wine.

my staff dinner tonight only costs $10, for a $35 set menu :p mr manager is paying the rest. bwahahahha! and it's good food. you want to drink, you pay for yourself.

AND!!! mr team leader admitted that THERE IS AN EVIL PLAN to get me drunk -.-" those idiots! but anyway, it isn't gonna work. hehehehee. i am not gonna get drunk! ladelaaaa..

anyway, *throws confetti* for 3 weeks of NPLA training is FINALLY over. boy, what a long 3 weeks it was, eh! lots of hardwork, challenges and role-plays involved. oh and fat burning. hehehehe. 3 weeks of training, 3kgs of fats gone. hmm, not bad not bad.

ooh, our facility won the npla award competition :D not bad huh! we had the full time staff and seasonal staff competing (i was involved too! i was the erm, support team, as mr manager put it). see, my team wouldn't have won without me screaming my lungs out right? i was cheering like mad -_- but yeah, i think it's the first time our facility won *cough* all because of ME :p

i am going to stop ranting now. and go take a nap. because, for some strange reason, despite 8 hours of sleep, i feel very sleepy.

oh, i got a haircut!
