long time since i updated. started work and was tired when i got home so hardly had the time to blog. but since today is my off day, YAY, i shall attempt to recall what ive been doing for the past 2 days.
15th may
after the lectures on 14th may, i had my practical lessons today. went to the pier early in the morning at 930am to wait for instructions. we were all given one ride to learn and mine was the elephants ride. its the one where the elephants will fly up in the air and go a few rounds before coming down again (kiddy ride).
so as we were waiting for our instructors/supervisors to come train us. we just sat down and chill. not a bad deal for USD7.25 per hour, haha. anyway before my supervisor could come, i was tasked to help clean the paddle boats. tiring, hot, dirty. tsk tsk.
enough about complaints. cos i was praised for a job well done (: then i went back to my supervisor and got trained on how to operate the elephants ride. it was quite easy to grasp. the difficult part came in when i had to go thru a written test! (just finished exams in singapore, come here also got test. sianness)
i passed the test but of course (haha!), and was told to start work immediately till 11pm. which totally sucks, cos it'll just mean that i will be there for the whole freaking long day (930am till 11pm).
ended the day on a tiring note and wasnt really looking forward to the next day as i will be going through the same routine from 10am to 5pm. shorter day but still.... :(
16th may
crawled out of bed cos i was so tired the previous night. washed up and went to the pier. breakfast was good. hup prepared french toasts and i helped to fry some sausages.
the crowd today wasnt as huge as yesterday's so it was more manageable. and the only thing that was fun and cool about this ride, is that i get to interact with lots of kids. and i mean LOTS of kids. the kids were all sooooooooooooooooooooooo cute and small. den i had to carry them in and out of the elephants. some kept talking to me, some smiled, some just sat there and got nervous when the ride started. but all of these warmed my heart in that cold weather.
day passed quite fast, wasnt that hard to bear with as compared to saturday. after work, went to get my new schedule for next week. i'll be off on monday and thursday. tuesday and wednesday i'll be cleaning the water themepark, my official workplace. friday, saturday and sunday will be most dreaded as i go back to the elephants ride, really boring job to be a ride operator.
then went out to do laundry. realised that the ppl here hardly wash their own clothes. it was always a trip to the laundromat to get it done. quite a cool experience i had. not cheap though, 2 bucks for a wash, 50 to 75 cents to dry it.
went for dinner after that at panda chinese restaurant. gotta be a fav haunt for all morey's employees cos the boss gave us 10% discount and threw in lots of freebies like soup etc. i think the boss loves us for going back every other day too. good business, good profits.
irene's pub was our last stop for the day. quite a cool place. very noisy though, many ppl were talking (or shouting) at the top of their lungs. drank quite abit and got abit dizzy at the end. haha lousy drinker. anyway i had a really good sleep because of the drinks. hahaha
17th may
