I think i'm gonna pop.. had dinner a while ago and still i'm feeling like this.. ate at the mall near my house..some jap restaurant called 'ajisen ramen' it wasn't bad except the noodles were a tad on the heard side.

Had hockey cip today and it was so damn tiring... woke up at 7am to get ready and then reached the place at 8.15am on the dot.. i'm so proud of myself..hahaha..anyway guess what when i got there, i got the shock of my life.. apparently it wasn't collecting money in tin cans.. it was collecting old newspapers!! and i didn't even know so i wore my skirt with no shorts underneath!! that sucks.. i was like the only girl there wearing a skirt..argh!!! but i still did cip... think we started at around 9.am and we worked till like 5.00pm okie.. it was so damn tiring!! let me just give you the lowdown on what we did and my harrowing experience collecting newspapers.. there is one job which i will definitely not be and that is a 'karang guni'.. i will never never become one even if my life depended on it.. i tell you collecting newspapers ain't all that easy.. we had to go door to door asking people whether they wanted to recycle their old newspapers, clothes, appliances etc. So at first me and cut were assigned to work on the ground floor.. all we had to do was carry the newspapers fromt he lifts to the void decks then later transport them to the lorries that were driving around.. so okie evem though i had no shorts on, i gladly did what i was supposed to do.. at first i was all 'rah rah' about it, then slowly as more newspapers start pouring in, my energy just seeped away... the newspapers were all so heavy and some were like even yellowy.. but then that was not all.. the things people throw away it's amazing.. and they came in really big and heavy bags.. so i had to lug them here and there.. and can't those people read, we said that we wanted stuff that could be recycled.. i don't think metal can be recycled unless they are those aluminium cans.. but guess what we got, we had pots and pans and even a big bronze chamber pot... it was really ancient and i could swear that i could still smell the 'pee'!!! I think we were even more hardworking than those worker ants.. hahaha.. seriously we were scurrying to and fro carrying objects that were almost as heavy as our body weight.. okie fine 1/4 of our body weight then..they said that we could eat our lunch at 1pm but then worker ants dont get lunch so we didnt eat lunch till it was about 1.30pm and by then all of us were starving.. the chicken rice which they bought was so bad.. the rice was hard and the chicken uncooked but as they say beggars are no choosers so we gobbled them down anyway.. and after eating we all felt really drowsy.. hahaha and we started dozing off.. hahaha.. but then one sharp whistle and we were on our feet again.. our work was never done.. and what's worse, when we completed our portion, we had to go help other sectors cos they were way too slow and the faster we finished the faster we could go home.. so onward we trudged to help other people.. the ever hardworking ants... if you can't imagine how much we had to walk just imagine walking from blk 110 to blk 188!!! that was how far we had to walk okie.. and we also had to carry the stuff from one block to the other so that the lorries could pick them up.. sigh.. and guess what our hands were so black and dirty from carrying all the newspapers that if someone were to see my hadns they would think that i had just stuck my hands in a pile of rubbish!!!! OH YES... now is the time to tell you the story of shar and the rude half naked china man.. as we were all going door to door asking for old newspapers and stuff, i also had to do my job so i went to this unit and i knocked on the door.. i waited for what seem like years and as i was about to knock again, the door suddenly opened and i got a big shock as the door opened so abruptly and the man standing there was half naked so i shouted "OH MY GOSH!!" and the dumb china man jumped too.. hahahaha.. i tell you it was hilarious.. hahaha.. he was half naked and he literally jumped out of his skin!! hahaha.. then i asked him whether he had any old newspapers and guess what that shit did to me.. he GLARED AT ME AND SLAMMED THE DOOR IN MY FACE!!!! that stoopid shit.. joy and huiwen were there and they saw the whole thing and they were both rolling on the floor with laughter!! ahahahahahaha... NEVER AGAIN WILL I GO AROUND COLLECTING OLD NEWSPAPERS!!! and who said that muscles take really long to develop?? i think they take only about 8 hrs to solidify!!! you see there was this bottle of water and we were each given one.. when i wanted to drink mine, i couldnt open my bottle so i asked the others and they also cannot so being lazy, i just drank water from other people's bottles.. but then when their's was gone too and i was really on the brink of dying from thirst, i just took the bottle and with one twist of the cap it came off!!! hahahahaha.. muscles.. muscles.. at least that's what i got from this cip.. and not to mention a lifetime of experience in collecting old newspapers and dealing with old half naked man!!! hahahahaha....
