We feel lonely, sometimes to the point of tears, but we don’t let those tears come because we are not supposed to cry. Or how we feel a surge of love for a partner but we don’t say anything because we’re frozen with the fear of what those words might do to the relationship.
-Mitch Albom
i'm still alive! i noe i'm supposed to have some peektures in this post but there's sth wrong with my usb so i cant connect my cam to it to upload pix. thank god i gt a portable hd b4 i come over tho =) so since the day i blogged, i've had orientation a few hrs of boring classrm trng n i've started work already. i'm working in kings dominion at doswell, VA and i'm working in the food n beverage dept in this restaurant called outer hanks. it used to be bubba gump shrimp but they lost the franchise last yr. so yup they are still selling similar things tho. work was still ok. i need some time to get used to standing the whole day again.
compared to seaworld, its slightly more disorganized here but its nt too bad. the rides here are definitely more thrilling. they have this drop tower which is like 350ft high. i cant wait to play all the games in the park if my heart can take it. so far, i've only work sat n sun and it rained on both days which is pretty out of the norm. sun the storm was so bad tt the park closed most of the rides and thus no one came in to eat in the restaurant and alot of us huddle tgt for warmth. one of the dudes even commented tt its like 10 000BC in ice age. on my walk hm with a few colleagues i tot i was gonna freeze to death. but thank god i am still well and i switched to the heater mode when i reach my hotel. brr.. it was like 5 deg celsius. totally insane. thereafter mon-tmr(thur) are our off days so initially we intended to rent a car out to explore but the hr dept was nice enough to arrange a bus to send us to ashland, this other part of virginia that have walmart, the dollar tree, family dollar store, chinese buffet and a whole load of other small eateries=) so once we reach we immediately head over to the waffle hse to fill our hungry tummy b4 going over to walmart to shop to our hearts content. i managed to get a pair of white sch shoe cos mine broke when i reach =( and i spent $160 i total. carry the bags of groceries to the bus was sheer torture, i ended up bruising my arm. so luckily xian jie daryl n dael reached already and they helped us move our stuff into our rm. b4 tt we also went to this restaurant called new chinese buffet. its juz ok pretty ok american chinese food but kinda sucky by sg stds but we'll juz make do with it. cos the veg n fruits is ex here so we ate to our hearts content there =) the mgr of the chinese restaurant happen to be a singaporean who used to be a manager at the kenny rogers at the suntec city branch so we gt some info abt the place from him =)) so after we came bk frm walmart stone ard, we played bridge n big2 the whole night and managed to even catch the sunrise ard 6am. we froze our asses off taking jumping shots for wot seemed like forever. but the sunrise was pretty amazing =)
