Training...2nd Day!

i finished my training today!
haha...it was ok.
but every week, we have to refresh ourselves on the emergency rescues, which makes me eligible for training 1 hour every week. well, just like taking refreshments. =p

todays training was a little pathetic.
because the supervisor, danielle, have nothing much to teach us.
anyway, thats because she taught too much yesterday. *sweat*
and today was kinda boring, cause we just keep on having breaks.

oh, today the soak city was close again, due to the cold weather.
hah...luckily i'm on training.

and i was assigned to the BEACH CREW!
means i'm working on the beach of lake eerie.
hehehe...and i get longer hours!
means more money...i hope!
and the beach don't close as often i think...?
and i love the beach!
oh but sometimes, i think we need to guard the hotels' pool.
but actually i love that too. smaller area, not that tiring!

but i'm a bit concern about my capability to lifeguard.
mainly because of my vision. my eyes are not really in top form.
and we have to be very alert to the water and surroundings.
sigh...crossing my fingers in surviving all the tests!

i pass the basic test today.
but they say sometimes other people will come and put fake dummies in the pool, and you have 20 secs to respond. if not you fail. OMG...damn scared.
and this goes for the whole summer.
PFFFTTTT...*sien*

tomorrow...working at 8am.
and i have a 'international training' like from 3pm - 4.30pm.
but i'm not sure whether i can make it into the training.
sine they are short of lifeguards.
maybe i'm not allow to leave.
but i don't wanna miss the training.
i have to reschedule, and i can't be with my friends.
well...we'll see tomorrow.

Training...1st Day!

phew~
today was my 1st day of training for lifeguarding!

i don't know whether is lucky or what,
but cause of the EXTREMELY cold weather out in the park,
soak city was closed for the day.
but due to the training, i still get my hours.

ok...back to training...
its the usual stuff, where you learn CPR.
pffffttt...but i think they taught the wrong stuff.
and they are so not organised.
no step by step method.
they just go bla bla bla...and expects you to take it all in 1 go.
luckily i learn it before, so it is less painful for me.

and then we moved on to the pools.
ah...seriously, some of them are too fat to swim ok.
no kidding!
and its stupid...how can you have a swimming test in a swallow pool, when people can just walk?
anyway, things was alright, the swimming stuff was piece of cake to me.

the only thing now i'm trying to figure out is...
how the hell can i mixed in with the americans?
i don't see any common topics with them man...
this is tough...
sigh!!!

3rd day at work!

here's the point,
after working for 3 days as a lifeguard in cedar point,
i had made a conclusion!
-being a lifeguard is just acting cool with a stylish sunglasses and outlook-

okla...my bet! of course we can't expect ppl to drown every minute.
of course our job is just to make sure everyone is safe.
hehe...but really hor... damn boring!

seriously, i did nothing but stand, walk and stare!
i should have really learn the important skills of sleep while standing.
i should have learn it from chai ann. she's definitely good at sleep-standing! =p

anyway, i hope i can get extra hours, so that i can cover everything i had come out with.
tried my luck in Mc D, but unfortunately i dont have my social security number yet!
and i went sweeping floors yesterday night.
may i remind you, i don't like my supervisor, so useless.

and i'm starting my training tomorrow.
hopefully i survive.
heard its tough.

quite sad that no pics are post yet.
i cant really spend time here yet.
as the wireless is unstable.
and pics are still in peoples camera.
and i'm not getting any off days this week.
sigh...sad...
feel like chilling out.
and i said this only after 3 days.
how to go on for another 100 days?

lifeguarding!

first day as a lifeguard in Cedar Point,

errr....quite damn extremely BORING!
kla...maybe cause its my 1st day.
they can't give me anything except stupid jobs.
and anyway i haven't gone through training yet...so...
but its still stupid boring and misuse of my skills or brains!

things i was told to do:
1. arrange chairs
2. height checking (you know...check peoples height who are going to the wave pool)
3. operate eeries falls (ok...this is better, at least i can use my finger to push a button)
4. watch whirlpool (guide children to go down the slide 1 at a time)
5. watch tsunami (also...guide children to go down the slide 1 at a time...just a different slide)

see...how boring can this be!
somemore have to get wet...and its FREEZING!
sigh...a bit regret to take on lifeguard.
BUT, their uniforms are the COOLEST of all!!!

i'm wearing this white t-shirt and red shorts! with red wisel hanging on my neck, sunglasses on me, and a brown cloth hat (like cowboy style).
and the tracksuit is also red. with GUARD sew at the back, white in colour!

in cedar point finally!

ok...just a quick one.
cause wireless here is so sucky!

in airplanes,
KLIA to Changi to Narrita (Japan) to Chicago (USA) to Cleveland (USA)
best food - plane (United Airlines) from Narrita to Chiacago
longest duration - 12 hours (Narrita to Chicago)
shortest duration - 35 minutes (KLIA to Changi)
best entertainment in plane - plane (United Airlines) from Narrita to Chiacago (they have Disney channel, Grey's Anatomy, National Tresure)

best entertainment in airport - Changi (they have whatever you can think off, Wii, movie theatre, a lot of TVs'...etc). p/s: omg...you should really see how the guys cheered in the Man U vs Chelsea game...CRAZY!
best company - earphones!

okie...spending like 2 full days travelling to US, the not bathing for 2 days part, sucks like hell! and the weather! OMG...so damn cold! and they say this is summer! its colder than rainy days in m'sia. *sweat* and actually going so many airports, its kinda cool! chicago was so damn busy...everyone walk so fast, in speed, i wonders where are they rushing to. and cleveland international airport sucks. maybe i said this because it have nothing! and i mean NOTHING! Changi...love love! you will never get bored in Changi! they have everything to keep you so awake! and i think i can survive in Changi...like forever, similar or better than entertainments at home! seriously! KLIA...sad case. you better buckle up! you are so lousy!

anyway, after reaching here, like only 2 days, i think americans are slightly snobbish! not all...but mostly. the people that i really respect and are most friendly, is actually the older ones. The youngsters here, can go die. i ask them question, all of them ignore me like for 1 min, and i just stood there, i was like...is it that i can't speak properly! what the hell...only i don't answer people ok, not the other way round. i don't like them. BUT, i love the hunkies lifeguard friends, the few guys that i'm still not close with, they are good at their job, and they approaches me, asking how was my day and all, this is what i call friendly and respect. LEARN them you idiot!

and this is only my 1st day of work. how to survive another 4 mths of facing idiots?
hopefully things will be better.

and i miss home a lot!

my stop in Changi!

on the 21st may 2008,
i took off in a boeing 727, japan airlines, from KLIA to Changi!
haha...it only took like 35 mins.

this is only my 1st part of my journey to US.
i still have like more than 24 hours of flight to catch.
haih...very long days. time spent all in airports.

next stop will be Tokyo!
woohoo~~~
but its a 7 hours flight....=(
this is so not good.

of course, its something i must go through to get to US.
haha...hopefully i will like it there.
currently, not feeling homesick at all, because i still have friends around.
imagine if i'm here alone....i think i will so burst into tears!
its really scary ok! to travel around alone.

alright, photos will be up soon!
at least have to wait till i gather them from my fellow photographers. hehe...=p
