I did my first Zenitant trail today @ the Esplanade. it's been a long time since i last joined the morning workforce crowd on the train, tryin to grab a seat, catch a wink, and breathe some fresh air of nature. Well, there wasnt much fresh air to talk about, neither did i catch a wink. but waking up early really made me believe that i've spent my day fruitfully.

my job's to be a station master and tell the kids to measure the vertical height of this pole at the outdoor theatre. i got paired with another first timer, and he didnt even attend any briefing at all!( i had a very quick one the night b4 by dear ChingYee) So i did most of the briefing to the kids. and i was put at an outdoor station. first timer leh......

so anyway i made do and did my thing. sweating like a pig but it was kinda fun working with the kids they'll call me 'cher, cher'. some rude ones tried to outspeak me, but they're jus too short to win. but kids nowadays.....gone are the days of the studious pants-wore-high nerds. welcome the age of the fashionista. i saw one nose piercing. a billionth ear piercing from the guys, tons of shirts tucked out, herds of ah-lian cliques. and they're just a bunch of sec 1s. kids. sigh.

not that i have strong distaste against any of that. i'm open minded. jus that times have changed.

but there's of cos the smarties that everyone likes, and the tongue-in-cheek cuties that i just wana pinch. no paedophilic innuendos intended.

then i had lunch with 2 of the seniors, who said i look like another senior who left for Sweden to furthur studies. and i was shocked at how striking i resembled him, vice versa. haha...but i only saw a side-view pic from her lappie. why do i have so many lookalikes?!

i finally fulfilled my study-at-esplanade-lib resolution. no perfect sea view cos the nice seats were taken. and there's that sun-screen. but it was nice to see everything thru the sunscreen as well. i'm amazed at how fruitful the session was, and i realised quick 15 mins nappies can do wonders. after a nap i'll be fully charged. weird.

den i took a few pics, went Shaw Towers lookin for pong nan cd, reserved 2, went for studies, and am zonked out now. body ache. a bad sign of fatigue. i tink i'm gettin old. and rusty. in serious need of some motivation and discipline.

exams comin...and my prom schedule has been shelved for a couple of days and i've gotta update the big shots come sat. workin tml....blablabla. enough ramblings for the day.
