the rest is still unwritten...

Today has been one exhausting day. Tired to the max.

Volunteered for the paint-a-home project at a elderly home @ tampiness and the project name says it out, obviously to help them paint their walls. So all the brushing, rolling, scrubing, scraping, climbing up and down, squatting, sitting, left me with a sharp pain on my knees. I am barely bend without yelping in pain. Despite the physically draining workout, it was quite a good experience i must say, though i think our leader wasn't really effective.

Lemme rant out our unhappiness. Firstly, our leader didn't even lift a finger to do any painting, basically she just order us around when needed. Secondly, you can't even rest for a split second, coz the moment she spots you doing nothing, when you are just resting, she will immediately find something for you to do. Next, her management skills is almost non-existence. Because the floor weren't completely lined with newspapers, there were lots of paint splatters and we had to scrap, scrub with the help of just a piece of rag and our hands, to clean off the paint. (Imagine cinderella being punished by her step-mother and she has to squat on the floors and clean the place spick and span.) As i was cleaning, i am being reminded that i barely do the housework at home. lol. Lastly, we were the last group to leave :((((( We saw most groups leaving bout 5 plus and there we were still slogging and cleaning our guts out. But, the elderly were really friendly and one was damn talented, he was playing the piano for several hours, providing us with free entertainment.

Ate at manpuku @ tampiness 1, first time there. not bad, ate the ramen. Got a ride home from susie's mr chew. thanks.

Random note: I wish i was smarter, more hardworking, had an intelligent mind. I think i have a pea brain. meh meh. (woohoo, 12 more days to last day of work, down under in 14 more days. can't wait for some R&R)
