Just a brief update of what are the major happenings since last week...

Sat (18 April)
Soccer in the morning was tiring enough! The heat was so strong that I managed to sprint for 5 minutes and all my energy died straight away. It seems that my body could not absorb too much solar energy. Overcharging of my 'solar' batteries are able to kill me instantly, with the amount of output I had to make during the exercise. However, I'm glad that I could kick some ball that day. I've hardly played soccer since I worked in Bodywatch gym, or should I say, I will not be able to play soccer again soon, from now onwards... Sad...

I went to the temple at Sim Ming Avenue to help Mum for the preparations of a celebration. As I was put in-charge of guarding the donation booth, a few old ladies during that late evening keep calling me 'Xiu Je' (Miss). It irritated me especially when they really cant identify whether I'm a guy or gal. By determine the length of my hair will result to my gender, then I guess I'll have a gender crisis till today. Haha...

Well, on the funny side, I was dressed smartly during the occasion, with jeans and t-shirt, yet I was assigned with another task for the day: Walking around each table, selling roast pork. =.=" Great! What a surprise I had that day but at least, my Uncle, Sister and me sold about 80 packets of roast pork. Maybe we can do sales together the next time round if there's an opportunity.

Sunday (19 April)
Working in Yishun Swimming Complex was pretty bad. The weather was extremly hot and I was dying for water. Just imagine I finishe 1/3 of my 1 litre water bottle within an hour?! That's how hot the weather is. Dying for some wind to blow towards us, I think we just hope to jump into the water to chill our body from the extreme heat. Too bad, I did not manage to train for swimming that night. How I wish I could train hard, especially my Butterfly stroke since that is my weakest among all those I knew.

Monday (20 April)
I reported to SSA (Singapore Swimming Association) once again to work for a month under the High Performance department. Its nice working with Uncle Peng Siong and Aloysious. Nothing was needed to for the week but at least I do enjoy the working environment. Its more like a home rather than an office. =]

Wednesday (22 April)
Something bad happened that night, with a strong gust of wind blew Singapore, causing alot of trouble that period of time. My house's kitchen door slammed hard and the knob was spoilt. No one could enter the kitchen and what's worst was I could not take my shower. ZZZzz.... Dad spent some time to fix the problem but to no vail. As for me, I cant do anything either but to go to my Uncle's house to shower, whom stayed 2 storeys below me.

Thursday (23 April)
The door was repaired but the damage was done. The door now looked like a dusty and 2nd door, which seemed to be collected from the void deck. No knob and lock. At least I still can enter the kitchen to get a drink at night or take my shower. If not, the trouble will continue. Yet, with all the repaired done by my Uncle, Dad was still upset. He hate the way my Uncle did it and seriously, I dont understand what's the feud between the two of them for the past many years. As the middle man, I just keep my mouth shut and nod my head, knowing who's being nice and who's not.

Saturday (25 April)
Attended the AYG Diving orientation, organised by Damien and Eric for the volunteers to learn more about diving. Ping Ding and I went to take up the course and we had plenty to learn from. Amazingly, Ping Ding seemed to be interested with the orientation, partly doing voluntary work.

As for me, I got a surprise, or an expected sign, to be posted as the Assistant Head for the AYG Diving event. This means that I might get a chance to visit the Diving Meet in Malaysia, probably during May or June. Sounds good but I dont know will it be a good idea if it falls on May, since I may have a soccer competition to attend for, if I have a team formed.

Sunday (26 April)
Currently, I'm working in Nanyang Polytechnic's Staff Gym for the very first time. It is very hard to mingle with people but I tried. Later there's training for swimming but I dont know if I have the mood to do it or not.

I'm having so many problems in an instant and its hard to deal with it. Currently, my kneecap is hurting... and the following weeks of work commitments... I guess I need to reshedule myself for the working hours.

Oh yeah... I'm entering my National Service on 7th October. I dont know should it be considered as fast or slow but one thing is for sure, its gonna be a long 21 months of service. I'm going to Tekong for my BMT so I hope everything is fine. All I hope is that, whatever unfulfilled stuff can be done within these few months before my entry to Army. Whatever stuff that are unsettled should be done as soon as possible.

Many things that I'm thinking now, I have alot of objections and some, I could not let go. For some, I'm still worried about and I guess, its either I need to learn to face it or else, solve it. Life sucks at the moment but I can still make it, I guess.
