for those who bothers to visit my blog, i'm back to update!

hee. today i had the worst day in camp, and probably the best night outside! i shall elaborate.

work sucks today. basically, i was screwed for nothing. the whole story goes sth like this:
a colleague of mine was in charge of organising a safety seminar. he was not there for the final rehearsal and, by Murphy's Law, things went wrong. he did not brief anyone to take over his duties as IC, and he gave conflicting instructions and super general tasking for his crew. this resulted in a rehearsal NOT done. saved files corrupted (i seriously think it is impossible, if not for Murphy's Law). when my CO arrived for inspection, i got screwed for 'being the highest rank and not taking action in ensuring everything is in order." great. so it was my fault. i wasn't told i am the second in command. and HELLO! I'M HIGHER RANK THAN MY COLLEAGUE PLEASE! =/ anyway, CO unhappy, what can i do? i get down to work. i produce a much nicer, much higher standard powerpoint slide in 30min okay. i was dead tired, hungry, and angry. the exact moment i finished cleaning up the mess for him, he reappeared, claiming credit for all i've done. GREAT! and my CO, being a nice guy, was not pissed now that i've got everything up and running the way he likes it, did not reprimand him at all! EXCELLENT! okay so the seminar was a success. everyone praised him. who cared about me? boo.

anyway, i must admit i had myself to blame. i knew somethings aren't quite the way my CO wants it on friday? but i'm lazy to tell him. well, because if my CO doesn't like it, he'll get the blame, not me. (in any case, i dunlike him. so i dun mind him getting screwed.) but i was wrong. i was selfish. so i apologise for my undesirable trait. =X

okay so my day was bad. heavy downpour came out of nowhere and sustained for more than an hour after working hours. i had no way to leave camp, and i did not want to fall sick. poor me.

it was then things started to get better. my CSM offered to send me out to the main gate. i'd still have to walk in the rain until the bus stop, but better than nothing right? after i got out of the car, i ran into my storemen (who left earlier as they have umbrellas with them). one of them is wearing a cloaked sweater, so he offered me his umbrella! yay dryness until bus stop. 169 came immediately after i set foot into the bus stop. YAY! and it's not crowded at all! unlike 169 on other days. when i reached AMK, rain's so small it's barely a drizzle. so, no problem walking around AMK staying dry =D

then i met my mum for dinner! hahah it has to be the best. without my sis/dad around, i can talk to my mum about everything! uh, except relationship stuff, but i'm trying. anyway, i felt so much better after complaining to her about that asshole colleague of mine. then i received an sms telling me the optics shop i go to is giving me 50% discount as it's my bday month! so i dragged her to specs shopping with me, and bought myself a new pair of specs for my bday. wheee! my first present from myself. HAHA. then she suggested we have icecream, so we went to get some cornettos and headed home for our favourite HK drama =D

i think i'm really blessed to have a mum like this. she's like my friend. i can talk to her about anything! again, not r/s stuff. but she knows. i dunno how, but she knows who i'm with, whether or not i'm in love, if i had a gf, so on..she claims she can read my mind, and i really think she can. i dun think many have a mum like me! a mum who u can talk to about ur friends and she actually knows who they are. like, i talked to her about xiangting, luan, ann, wanli, steph, jason, boonhong, jeanne, laoda, royston and many many others. i'm proud of the fact that my mum knows my friends and i can gossip with her about them! hahaha. so dun be surprised if my mum questions u about ur recent happenings if u meet her =D

i think i've typed quite alot. but i'm going to say one last thing! my bday is next tues! it's a great day! government is giving me my allowance on my bday! i'm going to apply for a day off on that day to go back to njc to find ms mandy chua and to visit choir! and also to do up my scholarship stuff.

oh and there isn't a need to celebrate for me. not in the mood this year. but a meal will do! i can catch up with u people at the same time too(: my motto for this year: concurrent activities - maximum efficiency and gain from minimum input.
