WHSR

date: 20090325-27

on monday i was told to have a training for workplace health and safety representatives.
since one of the trainee pulled out and i have volunteered to be the representative, so i need to go for the training.

ok... what we have done in these three days?
um... that's a good question.
the biggest accomplishment for this course is, we built this:

the course itself is quite interesting,
but haven't studied for a while, suddenly i have to back to classroom and listen to the trainer, actually i found it hard to concentrate... = =+

it was funny that the trainer told us to introduce ourselves.
and i am not that kind of a person that can do a public sharing when everyone is staring at me.... (this remind me the movie "runway bride" haha... )
the feeling is just so weird...
lucky, the trainer made it easier for me.
he told me tell us something that you are different from the class.

um... that's an easy one! haha
"i m the only asian in this room." i said.
and the whole class burst out laugh~ wahahaha.
"that's a good one" the trainer said.
oh well, i think i am number one in talking crapy stuff!! wahhaha

anyway, i did have a good time in training...
not only stay away from work, but also getting to know someone new.

the inookas. the happy family

date: 20090328

we haven't seen melissa and her new born bub marc for ages,
and it happened maria and i missed the gathering last week.
so we arranged to visit melissa this weekend. :)

we came across a little trouble on the way,
but it didn't upset us from having a happy time with the kids. ^^

glad to see the boys to grow up so much.
don't know why i feel a special bonding to the kids.
they were like part of my family.
i want to see them grow.
maybe i see melissa as my sister... haha
coz we did have a hard time at work last time. :(

justin's favourite costume :D

having domino pizzas for lunch,
playing with the kids,
chatting with melissa,
what a fantastic saturday afternoon!!!
love it!

a very cute apanman plate

beauty of the nature

a giant honeycomb hanging on the tree at the backyard.
it's scary but isn't it gorgeous?
wondering if we can just taste the fresh honey from there?? :)

the moment when you really need a man...

it is when...
you see a super big spider taking its time walking on your desk!!!!!!

of coz i m doing what most girl normally do --
SCREAM SCREAM and SCREAM!!!!!!!!
like no other.... = =+

when my soul came back,
i finally realised there is a pest spray in the laundry room...
so i used this to get rid of the spider who was sitting on my Holy Bible happily!! > <

i sprayed sprayed sprayed until its whole body covered with the white foam....
then i did the most disgusting thing...
to squeeze it with some paper
so as to make sure it won't come out again...
i m sorry spider... T . T

BIG BIG burger!!

movie: the reader (2009)

really love the story,
sad but good.
might be i am a bit like her, hanna schmitz.
so somehow, i can feel why she is like that.
however, i don't think i will keep the secret to her extent.
i believe everyone has their own weakness.
but it depends on that person how to face it.
hanna schmitz is just a tragic case. too tragic.

get back on track

i am finally getting back on track slowly.
one thing i really have to say thank to God.
no matter where i go, i do have many good friends around me.
their selfness support, encouragement and love,
do make me feel really warm from my heart.

love you all!

though i still don't know what to do,
i strongly believe God will direct me where to go and what to do. :)

heart breaking

i never thought that the seriousness of the oil spill from pacific adventurer can be that bad.

saw a seabird was covered by fuel oil from news.
their helpless look is so innocent.
my heart is totally broken and burst out tears.

the news also said the area covered is like 10 times more than they estimated.
it is really sad to see a beautiful coastal line cover with layer and layer of fuel oil.
i really hope that the clean up work will be done smoothly without any trouble, so that everything can be back to their normal.

settle down。

has been MIA for a while huh?!
back to brissy almost a week.
yet, my soul is still not back.

too many things in head.
hard to decide.
hard to make a choice, a right one.
a win-win one...

follow your heart.
but the problem is i don't even know what my heart really wants.
really tired.
