On a sat afternoon around 430pm....

So I was at the Unload position walking my ass off on the travellator making sure all guests get off the ride and leave the travellator safely. Then this kid decided that the yellow&black safety belt under those clam was interesting so he stretched his leg out and stepped on it.

beeeppppp.....
The emergency stop was triggered, alarm went off and the entire ride stopped.
Instinctively, when he stretched his leg, I knew what he was about to do (because I have seen it far too many times) and usually its too late to stop them, and ride went on E-stop. Today was just not the boy's lucky day, he had his foot stuck under the clam.
So he was crying and screaming, his mom was in shock, the alarm was going on! Everything was happening at the same time. I had to silenced that fuck alarm, call the coordinator and dial NINE ONE ONE(that's the last number you want to dial when you're working at an attraction front line)!!!! My heart was palpitating and I almost went into a nervous breakdown right there but I had no idea where I got that courage to walk up to coo and calm that kid. The mother was fidgeting with the kid leg trying to get it out and when I told her not to do that because we don't know which part is stuck. Guess what? She yelled at me and said "I'M TRYING TO TALK TO MY SON".
fuck that, bitch!

The coordinator came, then the park managers, maintenance, paramedics, it felt like the whole world was there. They did a 101 evacuation and I just stood at a corner till the manager told me to go to the break room for a breather. I was too stressed up and scared that I broke into tears the moment I went offstage. Then I had to go to the managers office to write a witness statement which is part of the procedure. Thank god, nth happened to that kid's foot!
I may be slapped with a safety reprimand if anything serious did happened!

And I still have one report and one assignment due!!!

bye world, i want to curl up in bed and sleeppp

lazy morning

As I munch my toast with a glass of milk, I sit cross-legged on the couch typing out a new post because it been wayyyyyy too long since I last did so.


It's gonna be a really lazy afternoon since I'm scheduled for work in the evening beacuse of the extra magic hours. I'm just waiting for the right time to call yenru and ask her what's plan for lunch because she has got crappy shift too


I feel like I'm losing touch with the outside world because news get to me wayyy too slow and I'm just lazy to turn to the news channel and only occasinally will I type "channel news asia" on the search engine. I have no idea what's major out there except of the Swine Flu which is geting everyone beside the Americans nervous. What an irony! I'm not seeing any precaution which is being taken and all my housemates are totally cool about this virus. Wherelse Singapore is like prepared to fight it like someone has already gotten the virus. I'm so missing the kiasu-ness.... I meant it.

I'm more or less settled down and I don't miss home as much as I did when I first arrived and I try not to think too much about not seeing my family for 6mths. Concentrating on the fact of having as much fun as I can certainly helps cure homesick. This couple of weeks has been really awesome and I love my off-days because I get to go out and play which really helps rejuvenate me.
I have tons of picture which I have put on facebook so check it out but I'll post a couple of my favourites here.
