Sun 11.50am
Oops, forgot to take out my no. 2 drill bits from my pocket before I slept, was too tired.. In fact, I think I brought them out to dinner as well, I'm so forgetful. Ended up sleeping on 2 drill bits, luckily they're not dented/lost.
There's a lot more to fairy tales than it seem. In many of the most popular fairy tales, like Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, the main character is a 'beautiful' and 'fair' princess. If not read carefully, the underlying message of beauty pays may be inferred, and children will grow up thinking that it pays to have and maintain beauty more than brains. Other than that, things like sibling rivalry and distinction of social classes can also be found in fairy tales. Parental guidance should be required while children read fairy tales, not only to not let them get the wrong message, but also to get them to think critically about the stuff they're reading. Wow, sounds like literature. Fairy tales can also be analysed.
Heard that there's a huge crowd (few thousands) at the Singapore Idol auditions. Poor thing, those in line got caught in the rain, how the hell are they gonna perform up to standard bearing the rain, wind and shine and without enough sleep? We have 4 judges, and I've only heard of 1 of them (Dick Lee). A few of my hallmates went for the auditions as well, and they're pretty good.
A boy almost drowned at Palawan Beach, was sent to Changi Hospital for emergency rescue, hopefully he'll be fine.
Mon 3.20am
Bought the PC, placed deposit, will collect it probably next week. Until then, bear with it and don't miss me too much. I'll still be around. And, I was damn pissed this whole day, but not angry anymore. It's so hard to stay angry for long. Damn it, when I cry for help, I mean it! Why doesn't anyone volunteer to help me? I have to swallow my anger and restrain myself as a result. Played card games until now, jialat tomorrow it's a full day of work. Hopefully I can survive. HH's trying to sleep here, has to wake up as early as 7am tomorrow, but I think she can't make it since she can't even wake up at 10am. Hm. Sorry, can't help cos I'm waking up later. Hehe.. Actually I can, I'm quite a light sleeper, and your alarm is freaking loud. Maybe you'll wake me instead of yourself. Good luck for canvassing! Good luck to my structures too.
8.40pm
Ended work early! Thought we'll end at 10pm tonight, but we sorta finished work already, nothing else to do. Today everyone helped me with my structures because they probably haven't got the dimensions for theirs yet, so now 2 of my structures are almost done. But I still have a lot more to go, and bigger ones. The rest of the team will be back soon. Sadly, 2 of them backed out of the team.
Boss is damn funny, I can't stop laughing whenever he cracks jokes. We were tying canvass sheets to cover up the area, and wanted to test whether the rain will flow properly down the canvass sheet when it rains. TJ said, "There's a good way to test if water will flow down properly." Then I said, "Don't ask me to jump and slide down from there!" (That was because TJ looked as if he was about to ask me to jump onto the canvass sheet.) The 3 of them (TJ, Boss and Assistant Boss) burst out into laughter. Boss said, "So you're a drop of water!" Then he imitated me being a drop of water, falling onto the canvass sheet, rolling down and falling off onto the ground. Hm, how evil. But everyone, including me, just kept laughing uncontrollably.
