So... it's Friday again in the blink of an eye. My... how time flies. Then again, it was a really short week for me, talking about work of course. This is the third week at work, though I was only in office two days this week. Still, it was an eventful and busy week for me.
Monday - I was as per the previous weeks off on the first weekday of the week. Well, my aunt did inform me that she was going to work that day and asked if I wanted to go to work as well. However, I already had other plans so I didn't go to work. I had a free ticket to Adventure Cove, which is at Sentosa island, and so spent a day there with some relatives and my sister. I have to admit that I did enjoy myself after a day spent there. Considering that I had a totally wrong idea what Adventure Cove was ( I had thought I was going to a theme park and so was actually preparing myself for roller coasters which I did not really enjoy), the water theme park, something similar to Wild Wild Wet, was so much a relief for me. It was also quite a relief for me to soak in the cool water of the pools there which is certainly a much needed respite from the sweltering heat that has become a permanent resident of the weather these last couple of weeks. Apart from the cool water, the rides there were quite exciting, not too intimidating, and generally felt fun after I had overcame it. I did feel that quite a number of the rides were quite mild after trying out a few rides. It was still good enough for me though. While trying out the different rides there, one thing did seem surprising to me. Despite it being a weekday, the start of the week no less, there was a surprisingly large crowd at Adventure Cove that day. This resulted in long queues which I had not been expecting. Still, the long time spent queuing for the rides gave me a great opportunity to get lots of sun on my skin and I sure had a nice tan by the end of the day. I was really glad of this as I had been trying to squeeze some time into my packed schedule for some swimming and tanning. We were almost complete with all the rides there by lunchtime given that there weren't many rides there and even then, I was already drained of energy. We did try out every one of the rides there. Haha, I would say it was having just the right company which enabled me to give each of the rides a go, Otherwise, I am almost certain that I would have backed out from quite a few of the rides there.
All in all, it was a day well spent.
Tuesday - It was yet another day at work today. Apart from clearing the usual stack of papers today, I also picked up a new skill - to use a machine to cut thick stacks of papers. I sure am being entrusted with more tasks each day, which sure is a good thing. Today was also the day I got to have a glimpse how the second level of the office looked like.
Wednesday - I was once again off from work today. My brother was enlisting and I accompanied him for the day. It sure was quite an experience being on Tekong for the first time. Haha, it would be some time before I see my brother again.
Thursday - Another work day for me. My aunt was not in office today so I was left on my own to complete the left over work from Tuesday. I did try out a different place for lunch today. Well, I can't say that I am impressed with the food there. I did get quite a huge mug of lime juice for just $1.80. Still, I had tasted better in other eateries. Fast forward to evening and it was dinner with JL at Long John Silver. I cannot even remember the last time I ate that. Sure was a great meal nonetheless.
Friday - I took the day off again today to make a trip down to my former school to ask some favours from my former teachers and the principal. Unfortunately, they were all busy either having lunch or probably at lessons. Well, seeing as it is the school holidays next week, it is likely I would not be able to find them in school next week as well. I guess I would just have to seek other options for my university application. Despite all that, I did get to meet some former teachers, and also caught up with a friend. Haha, I actually got him to come along with me to school partly to make myself less nervous and partly to get in touch with him.
See... it was still quite a busy week I had yeah? Hahahaa...
When the letter N and the letter S come together, it's a whole new world out there
