Wednesday, June 13, 2007
It's been a busy week. So much has been going on. Haven't even have time to shop for presents for mc and kh. Haiz. Really lazy to type it all out here. Not a very good week in general.
To sum it up, I was pretty pissed with some colleagues for their attitude. So pissed that I couldn't sleep well for 2 nights. I know that's crazy. I haven't stayed this angry with people for a really long time. It's just that I can't seem to find a reason to justify their behaviour, and it just makes me feel so mad when I wonder if some people have any conscience at all.
Then it had to get worse at church. Quite a number of screw ups. For a start, there was a typo on the second slide of my presentation. I spelled "sacred" as "scared". The song orginally went,"O sacred King, O holy King". Yeah, you can imagine. Gosh, what blasphemy. Though I'm sure God understands that I don't mean to mispell it, apparently, some people are not as forgiving.
It was the first worship song for the service, and the typo occured on slide 2. The word "sacred" also appeared on slide 1, but it doesn't matter because I had spelled it correctly. So, what happen was, when I was flashing slide 3, someone suddenly came up to me and tapped my shoulder. Being a bit shock by that rude interruption, I accidentally pressed a few keys on the keyboard, which caused the whole presentation to go haywire for awhile. And hey, it was going live okay. There were at least 80 people downstairs watching. I'm thankful that it's only a small service. I can't imagine how much trouble I'll get into if it happens during the Sunday morning services. Okay, so anyway, I didn't realise that I had mispelled that word until that person came up to me and said rather angrily,"You spelled "sacred" for "scared" you know?" And I was like,"Izzit? I didn't realise!" And she was like,"Next time, be more careful!", and stormed off.
Hey, I did check through my powerpoint slides and I didn't even notice that error. Neither did the other crew members. But still, if she wanted to complain, she could have done it after the service right? Why must so kan cheong, straight away after I flash that slide, rush up to the sound room to scold me? By doing so, she'd disrupted the service even further. Suddenly everyone would be wondering what was happening upstairs, why the slides aren't flashing properly and all that. Tsk. So bad. And please, why are these people even allowed to enter the sound room during worship?

More Mahjong!
If anyone's wondering why I'm blogging at this time, it's not because I've finally managed to wake up early. It's because I haven't slept the whole night. =( Ah thanks to Terence again. It's been our 5th or 6th overnight mahjong session in 2 weeks. I can safely say that my mahjong skills have improved a lot over these 2 weeks.
Anyway, life at Settlers makes time pass very fast. So fast that I didn't have time to stop and worry about my exam results. Which is a good thing I guess. Almost forgot to check it though. Hmm.. all's well by the way.
Well, I just remembered that I haven't blog about my Thailand trip part 3. Half a year already... haha... And it's the most interesting part of the trip still. How can I miss that out? Alright, I shall blog about it when I'm less busy.

Night Cycling
I've been really busy lately. I've been to Settlers almost everyday this week already. I'm here at Settlers again, on my laptop. Haha. Anyway, Ms See kept reminding me to blog about our night cycling trip. Shall do it now.
We started at 11pm at ECP macdonalds and ended at 5am at Paya Lebar MRT station. 4 pitstops altogether.
Route: ECP macdonalds to Kallang macdonalds
Pitstop: Supper at macdonalds
Route: Kallang macdonalds to Lao Pa Sat
Pitstop: Satay at Lao Pa Sat
Route: Lao Pa Sat to Newton Hawker Centre
Pitstop: Sugar Cane drink at Newton Hawker Centre
Route: Newton Hawker Centre to Geylang
Pitstop: Tao Hway at Geylang
Route: Geylang to home!
We cycled for 1 hour plus before stopping for a break. 1 hour seemed to pass very fast. Kh planned the route pretty well, especially for a first-timer, though I wished we didn't take so many breaks in between. It felt a little more like a food excursion than a night cycling trip.
Overall, it was pretty fun eh? Shall do it again when we have time. =) And Ms See pls blog too. Heh.
The entire route...

Exhausted
I was scheduled to start my first day of work at Settlers on Sunday night. However, Friday saw a large influx of customers and I was asked to come down to the cafe 3 hours before opening hours. Ended up working full shift... That's 2pm-12am. It's fine though. Cuz I really do enjoy working there. Though we haven't even work there for a week, we feel like we've worked there for a long time. We go to the cafe at least 4 times a week. Sometimes we'd even help out for free!
Halfway through my shift, Terence and Timothy asked Kh and I if we would like to join them for a mahjong session at the cafe that very night. Well, I have completely no discipline when it comes to fun and games. I was so exhausted after a very busy day at the cafe, and I didn't sleep well the previous night, but I said yes anyway.
Kh and I cycled to my house, bathed and changed, and went back to the cafe again. Tim closed the cafe and brought lotsa food and drinks from the kitchen to the room upstairs, where we camped there throughout the night for mahjong. Mahjong session: 3am-8am. We played really fast I tell ya. But it felt like the longest mahjong session ever. Only 1 round, but it went on and on and on cuz Tim couldn't stop winning until I broke his winning streak. As such, the 16 sub-rounds turn out to be at least 20. Zzz.
I got home at 8plus in the morning, slept till 1pm and went to church for multimedia duty. I was so tired, I felt like I would knock out the moment I close my eyes. I didn't even feel this tired when I slept only 3-4 hours a day burning midnight oil during the exam period.
It was fun though. Staying overnight at Settlers. The guys do it quite often. You can even bathe there. Well, that's what the boss told us to do anyway.
Off to bed now...
