5th day of CNY. My age today changed fr 27 to 28. Oh! Ok! Maybe on this special day did some blogging.

CNY Eve: Can't remember wat I did in the morning. But remember noon time went to meet a client for kopi. Then straight aft that, back hm to get ready for the dinner with my family. This yr is only the 4 of us. Without grandma ard. Seems a little different. But still, glad that we were having the meal together every yr. Aft the meal, helped to clear the table and dining area. Last time when grandma still ard, maid also ard to help do the clearing. Now without maid, sis also nt helping most of the time, mum is tired out aft preparing the ingredients, I must did some help. Well, ok lah. Feeling ok to help out knowing that wat I did is correct. :) Aft that, rest a while, bathe, then 'nuaing' ard, surfing some web, watching the tv special program, eating tibits juz like any other years. :)

Day 1 of CNY: Din go visiting as we were nt supposed to due to still within the 49 days of the mourning of my grandma's depart. Actually thinking of nuaing @ hm. But need to settle a client's case so decided to visit her @ her hse @ Jurong. With dad's help of driving me over while he and mum went to IMM to shop a while as nothing to do @ hm, I settled the case. So 1st day of CNY, I visited my Indian client's hse eating cookies and nice indian coffee. Yum Yum. :)

Day 2 of CNY: Nuaing and watching drama in Youtube till 5pm, we whole family went to 'Riverside' = 'He Pan' @ Esplanade garden, where Cai Shen is. Walking ard and seeing so many pple till 7pm+ when the lighting was on, we walked a while and left for our dinner at HongKong cafe @ Marina Sq. Nice meal I think. :)

Day 3 of CNY: Out @ abt 3pm to visit Sentosa to visit the flowers with a friend. :) Nice Nice! I think although the layout nt so nice, but when I see flowers, the feeling is great! :) During evening, we went to have our dinner. Normal one. Overall is great! :)

Day 4 of the CNY: Out @ abt 12pm+ to visit colleague's hse for a CNY gathering. Every yr we have it. So eating and playing cards and talking, time passed very fast. Till 6pm+, I left and back hm. Back @ hm, family is having another round of steamboat cos sis had asked a friend over for dinner, a usual procedure every yr liao. Cos eyeing @ e veg on the table, I sat down to have some too. Well, aft meal, helping to clear again. Feeling is normal but glad I'm helping. :)

Day 5 of CNY and My Birthday: Went to office early in morning to submit some stuff and also to 'start work'. Then noon, we went to company Lo Hei @ The Legend @ Fort Canning. During the meal, colleagues in the same table wished me Happy Birthday. Well, I'm keeping myself in low profile so even no one knows I'm ok. Aft Lo Hei, went back office a while, had a tea time with colleagues, did some callings and went back hm. Back Hm, had my mee sua prepared by parents. Aft bathe, sis came back with a cake. Cutted and eaten. Nice!

Well, overall, had a rest time during CNY. Switched totally off from work, although did on for a few minutes sometimes. Well, today back to work. Must 'add' more oil from today onwards. YES YES YES! :) Jiayou! Jiayou! Jiayou!

New Experience!

Juz came back fr Bintan training yesterday... Train wat u might be asking me? Sales or...? Well, not on sales, but more on confidence, daring, teamwork... etc. Together with my teammates and colleagues, we went to Bintan Lagoon Focus club where we go thru a lot of 'dangerous' training. Why 'dangerous' is because I needed to climb high and low, with blue black on the body, aching too. Due to my weight is the lightest mayb, most of the time can be carried over those walls and higher areas where we are nt supposed to touch the 'spider web' and go thru it. Testing our teamwork etc.

Talking about been carried over thru those web, I think it's my 1st time climbing up a big tree truck and trying to stand on tip top of the truck, about 6 or more storeys tall, and then trying to jump off to grab the hanger like 2 metres away from me. Not only this, with 2 hands grabbing on to some tough ropes, then by the instructor of 'leading' me to keep to my left from a platform of 5 to 6 storeys height and then dropped myself uncontrollable down and been swinging around in the air for a while, in a split second, I can't really focus to see what is around me. Luckily got a mask on my face to blur my vision or I think I will be even more scared. Haha... but when I did it, think back, unbelievable that I did it. :)

Above mentioned are all with safety belts around us. So is safe. And you know wat? The above mentioned one I think still not so bad. The most tiring one and scared one is the next day activity where we had to go up a big pyramid where it only has tough wires and wood logs and small shaking wooden platforms. Arhhhhh!!! With my weak arms and only can hold onto some tough strings and our 'life line'. Btw, 'life line' is a safety belt that are to support us from falling off and if really fall from the wood log or wires, at least we are hang up there and nt straight landed to the ground and ended up in hospital. But I still very scared as this life line also nt very safe. Why I said that is because we are walking together in a group of 6. If 1 of us fall, all 6 of us will fall together and hang up there. So I think die die I have to hold on to the ropes or wires. Shivering up there while passing thru different stages. Every stages are tired. And @ every stage, I not only have to secure my own life line, I have to secure my teammate's life line too as he is of a bigger size and his life line has to be secure from his back nt @ the front like us.

In fact @ 1st stage, I'm of no energy to move on liao. Hands are shivering after strained it too much. Yet, we in fact passed thru 2/3 of the whole set of stages. @ a resting point up in the pyramid, rain came. Slowly bigger drops came. My 1st thought is safety. Wet surfaces of the walls and steps where we had to climb on is the focus. Dangerous if we fall or wat. Then lightening came and in-charge @ last call for help to rescue all of us up there at the pyramid. By then, I'm fully wet from head to toe by the heavy rain. Big drops of rain hitted me so hard and the coldness really caused me to be scared till my tears also drop automatically. Went back ASAP to the resort room to have a warm shower. Thank goodness. Healthy and in one piece back in Singapore. This program is indeed good. But stress and scared when going thru it, mayb it's because never went thru b4 @ this kind of height and surrounding too. If given me a choice, I may nt want to go back in the rain to do it again. If it's shining, mayb yes and no too. Cos it's too scared, tired, and aching.... Pain thru my whole body..... Ohhhhh :O
