work part III think it's weird I enjoy work. Not denying that when I first started I felt like quitting. "This type of job is definitely not suited for youngsters." All the more I wanted to.
But now, after 5 days, in fact on the 3rd or 4th day I was already excited and looking forward to each day of work! :)
I guess it's that kind where you just gotta be tough and survive the first few nightmarish days, then the following days will just be smooth-sailing already and you can go on. It's about the initial fight that you have to endure.
Survival of the fittest?
Hooray for perseverance :)
But. It's also kinda ruining my life. Not as extreme as it sounds, but I'm lazy to rephrase. (This is not a literature exam.) It's SERIOUSLY affecting my basketball. It's tiring me out every day and night - currently, my life is basketball and work and ICYL whichijustwannakickawayrightnowrighthere. And that's not how I was planning it to be at all. I'm a must-have-fun-to-the-max person. And who in the right mind would find a life revolving around ICYL and work fun. And basketball isn't "fun" now since it STINKS LIKE CRAP. And why? Because of ICYL AND WORK.
And that's not the only concern. There're still all the other things I was planning to do in the holidays. Like plan xmas presents and go out/shop and read and learn dance. BOO the time factor.
I'm worried. Really worried.
And my energy is draining out. I couldn't even stand today after sleeping for 4h this morning. This is not me. me, I can stay up one whole night and still be awake for at least 3/4 the next day before finally konking out.
Anyway. On a happier note:
Stayover at claire's last night was awesome :) We had 2 matches at SAS, u16 and u18. Played both. Played ok besides the FOULING OUT (for the 1st time) in the first, screwed up totally in the 2nd match. Everything was a mistake, I did nothing right, I was subbed out within seconds. GEEZ. So much for hope.
I'm sorry mr ang, mr ong and all my teammates. And especially sorry to vanessa for disabling you to play any longer for the 1st match cause I contributed 4 fouls to our shared foul limit. I'M SO SORRY :( We went for dinner at some nearby coffee shop, where I ate prata yumyum. It wasn't very yum actually. But whatever, I'd been craving prata. And I wasn't hungry.
Then nata and I had a short but nice talk about faith in God again.
And claire, olly, nata and I went to yamu's (jamiechowwww) house. Did a lot of silly things like listening to cd's from donkey years ago - celine dion, sheryl crow, spice girls (sooooo girls night out xD). Played black jack with kokokrunch :D And the loser for each round had to drink half a cup of TAP water. Ahahaha. Fortunately for my unbelievably tiny bladder, I only drank 3 cups! And nata and jamie, erhhhh hmmm. Hahaha. ULTIMATE WINNER!!!! xD But claire didn't drink a single cup!
Then nata had to go home. So we stinky sweaty pigs all went to sprawl all over jamie's bed (pity) and talked. And tried to sleep some, but just kept waking up and talking and then sleeping and on and on.
Funniest part? We all travelled from one house to another for stayover xD Jamie's in dover allllll the way to claire's in katong. Jamie's a joke when it comes to
nu ma gui :P
It's amazing how friendship takes root, grows and blossoms.
I need to continue my QT.
sleeeeeeeeep.
everyone starts small.
