07 September 2008, Sunday
Surely my driving skills have improved over the months since I got my license (this is so random). Anyway, I attended traditional service with daddy and mummy. Both of them dozed off during the message and I caught them red-handed. I was being respectful to the pastor by staying alert and awake throughout the message even though I have to admit that it was not really the type of message I would find interesting.
Later in the day, I drove down to Suntec City with daddy, mummy, and my brother to do some grocery shopping at Carrefour. I really enjoy shopping at Suntec City because of the wide range of shops there and I love the crowd for no particular reason. I just find the place happening when there is a large crowd. We got home in the evening just before the sun set.

My manager came back to work after being away for a week because she was on a business trip. I went for lunch with her and another colleague. I ate fishball noodles and it was totally tasteless. I will never eat from that stall again, I promise. Well, probably I will eat that stall again if there is a promotion like a half price off or something (I better stop dreaming as the inflation will never allow this to happen). For one dollar plus, maybe I will only get three fishballs, or only the soup with some spring onions.

Work is starting to get a little more hectic. Time seems to get by really slowly that I can just drop dead counting down the minutes to the time I get to go home. It seems that the money is harder to earn with the inflation and all. The last time I was working here, the work given to me was more manageable and the workload was definitely lighter. Now, the workload I have is piling up so fast that I have to accelerate my working speed or I will never get anything done. I just hope that I get a little breather in the coming days.

Can someone remind me to be more attentive in office? I messed up some of the work my manager gave me to do. Luckily, she did not flare up or anything close to that. The supposed to be good at work me made a mess of the work assigned to me, thus I could not live up to that name. Tomorrow, I promise I will be more alert and pay closer attention to my manager’s instructions so that I will not leave a bad impression when I leave this place. I will want to come back again, so I better be at my best.

Nothing interesting happened throughout the day. I just buried myself in the work I have to do and the work load took away my boredom. Time pass a little faster compared to yesterday. Tomorrow, I will be going for ODDinary Camp at Bukit Gombak. It is going to be a long journey down from the office, but to attend the camp is definitely worth it.

Work, work and work from morning till evening before heading down to the west for ODDinary Camp, which is at Bukit Gombak. The journey there took close to an hour, and the train was so packed that I could hardly stand straight to have my personal space to breathe. I arrived around the same time as Daniel as we planned to meet up for dinner.
After arriving at the camp, I attended the talk first before mixing around and getting to know my group members. The night game was held in the forest near the camp site, and the objective of the game is to go around the forest and search for ice cream sticks. To put it into simple words, the night game was like treasure hunt. When the night game was over it was already close to twelve midnight. Therefore, I went straight to bathe before going to sleep as I was beat.

Sleeping for around five hours or so, I got up to find my shoes soaked in the rain. That immediately spoilt my day as I wanted to wear my shoes to go to the gym later in the afternoon. I immediately messaged my friend to help me bring a pair of shoes since I could not get my own shoes dry in time. The verdict is that I have to wear my frictionless slippers until I meet up with my friend later.
As the sleeping area was on the second storey, I have to climb up and down the slippery flight of stairs which is covered with rainwater. The first few climbs were manageable until the last time when I was carrying my bag to bring it downstairs, I slipped and fell down when nearing the ground. My reaction was quick enough and my hand grabbed the sides of the stairs to prevent myself from falling. Unfortunately, my right leg went straight into the sides of the stairs and got a few bruises. First aid was immediately called upon by my friends, who witness my fall nearby. Thankfully the injuries were minor and I could still proceed with my gym workout as planned. Praise the Lord, for all that He has done for me and my poor leg.
pray earnestly with a faithful heart
