The steamboat on Tuesday was a whole lot of fun! Waiting for the soup to boil was the most fun... LOL. We had Shitake mushrooms, LOTS of golden mushrooms, shabu shabu beef, and some other steamboat-y type of food like fishballs etc. At first the food looked insufficient... thank God that it ended up that we could not finish all of the food. Hahahaha... Hope that everbody enjoyed the company we had and the game that followed... we played Phase 10 and ate ice cream until 11pm. Woohoo!

Anyway, I injured my already injured toe again yesterday while I was photostating notes in my ex company. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH. I kicked some metal that was protruding out near the shredder! It wasn't there before... dunno why there is such a hazard there! OMG... and my toe bled a bit internally... So the nail looks as if it may come out anytime. I can even lift it a bit now. YUCKS!!!

Thank God I'm still able to walk. Just that I am always very scared when people walk very fast near me now. Afraid that my toe will get stepped on. And I'm even more afraid of crowds now... dunno when will I feel safe on the train again. I think I will not take a train during rush hours for the next few months, if possible. Or, I might just get some metal piece to wrap my toe... HAHAHA. So I can protect it from toe steppers.

How pathetic.

Disgusting left big toe and something to look forward to on Tuesday

Went to see a doc today coz of my toe. It was already half injured coz I wore too big a pair of sports shoes and played badminton in it. So every time I ran forward and braked, I will ram my toes into the front of the shoe. So it turned black for a long long time. Until I went for pedicure with my mum, then the staff there made me buy a bottle of liquid to apply on it. Then the black portion slowly disappeared and a transparent hole formed where the blood was supposed to be.

Then... on the Friday that just passed... I accidentally rammed my toe on the stairs while walking up from 21st floor to 22nd floor of my ex company. Was doing my usual call evaluations that day and went up to look for my coachees. AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!! Damn pain la! I had to stop dead in my tracks the moment I banged it against the stairs! Now there's a new blood clot forming in the top middle of the toe.

Doctor said that there was nothing he could do about it. He said it was not worth it to draw the blood out as it was too little. And he did not want to cut the nail out for me coz it wasn't my whole nail that is injured. It's only half! So... he said the only way is to wait for the nail to grow out and push the ugly part out. Wah lao!!! Then he said it will take about 6-12 weeks for a whole new nail to grow out. SIAN! So now... to protect the toe from being flipped up by any thing, I am supposed to wear covered shoes (which I can't!!! How to wear covered shoes la!!!) or to put a plaster over it to prevent anything from flipping my toenail out in case it gets hooked on my nail. YUCK! The mere thought of "flipping toenails" gives me goosebumps. Dear friends, when I get goosebumps... ALL the long long hair on my arms will stand. Hehehehehe.

Anyway, now the toe hurts whenever I walk. Sob sob. WHY??? Why do I always get injured?!! Zzzzzzzzzzzz.

Yay... looking forward to steamboat to celebrate Yo's birthday on the coming Tuesday. Her birthday is today though. HAPPY BURFDAE Yo!!! 24 years old le wor!!! Yeah yeah yeah. Need to think what to buy for steamboat. So fun... I wanna buy lots and lots of golden mushroom!!!

Hilarious SK

Oh oh oh... there's one more thing I forgot to add to my blog last nite. While I was waiting for HL to arrive at Toa Payoh, I accompanied SK to Mos Burger to buy her fren's dinner. Then while we were making our way to the counter, she started to sing... YES... SING!!! And it was quite embarrassing... she sang:" I should feel so lucky, lucky lucky lucky, I should feel so lucky in love..." It's like an old song, and it's a miracle that I even recognize the song that she is singing. Oh man!!! And then I decided to record it down in my cellphone coz it's simply too FUNNY already. So I told her to sing it again while we were still at the counter ordering the food. She apparently did!!! She couldn't be bothered about how the cashier would react. The cashier was taken aback though... HAHAHA. Anyway while we were recording her voice, she couldn't sing the whole thing again, coz it was too embarrassing for her. So she only sung this part:" I should feel so lucky, lucky lucky lucky..." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I am going to post the clip here!!! Yeah!!! Please click to hear SK sing... OMG... simply hilarious. And to think that we can hear her voice so clearly in the recording despite of the very noisy surroundings in Mos Burger... it's amazing... and so you can also imagine how loud she was singing... the cashier was stoned. LOL.



Ummm... I dunno how to add the clip in this post... Somebody help me... teach me how to post clips in here!!!! ARGH.

Kind of demoralised

by this batch of trainees that I am training right now in my ex company. They are less interactive than the last batch of trainees. So much so that they give me a sense of insecurity. I feel insecure because they do not affirm as much as the previous batch. The previous batch will laugh at my "corny" jokes and ask A LOT of questions. Even though they take up a lot of time because of that, but I really enjoyed teaching them. The current batch is SO SO SO serious. It's just so difficult to get them to lighten up and enjoy the training sessions while they can. I really want to tell them.... Please loosen up people! Once you are officially on the phone, there will be no more time to laugh and play like during training! And please... give more affirmation to the trainer by asking more questions. I will not know whether you understand or not if you don't ask questions!

But of course... I will not give up trying to help these batch of trainees loosen up during training. I will continue to crack corny jokes even if nobody laughs. And I will continue to share interesting experiences with customers with them. I WILL NOT GIVE UP!!! Well... I laugh if nobody laughs then... Hehehe.... Ugh.

Well, I feel better that I'm not the only one who feels this way about the new batch. The existing trainers also feel that this batch is too serious. Haiz... WHY WHY WHY. So boring.

Hahaha... Okie... I'm so tired now... going to sleep...

Crazy fotos during cycling outing

Yay... Jane bluetooth-ed the fotos over to me last nite... here are they...

Fotos

Here's a foto of my bruise. It's still yellow in the middle... think it's supposed to be red... but I don't dare to rub it as what everybody has been telling me to do... I'm trying to rub it now... By taking a big breath, then rubbing the bruise real hard! OUCH OUCH! Then letting my breath go again and resting for a while and wincing in pain... OUCH.

Here's a foto of Jane and me during our cycling trip. Hee. The crazy fotos are still wif Jane...

Very hot day,

but still... Jane and me went cycling... I'll post some of the silly pics we took up here once I've got them from Jane... super lame.

Yes, I'm toast again... burning hot arms and legs. Not as bad as the last round I guess.

We were cycling halfway, and then I felt that I had to go to the loo to do the "big" one. I think it's the tea I drank in the morning before I met Jane for cycling... duh. The moment I came out from the toilet... Jane said something which I thought was classic... Ha. "Renie... Are you ok? You have an emancipated look." EMANCIPATED LOOK wor... LOL. Of course la. It felt good wat. LOL.

Okie okie... I have bathed already and I'll be going to office now to do call evaluations and meeting up with my coachees... Lalalalalalalalala...

Sleepyz.
