Working at the Kalling Squash Centre for CIP is actually not bad you know. Overall, I enjoyed the experience.


See reaching there took me about 1hour 20mins ++. All 6 of us arrived promptly at 2pm yesterday to get things kicking. We put up the scoreboards, and got the mic ready and then we waited for the players to arrive. It was pouring yesterday and there were so many walkovers. Good for us though, since we can finish our time earlier. Basically, my job was to write down the fixtures for the next day, update the scoresheets and some other admin stuff that whoever that was free at that point in time had to do.


The starting part of the job was okay, since we were actually occupied. However, nearing the half-way point, around 4-5pm, all of us were dead bored. Since the rain slowed down everything, there were delays (even though there were little matches) and all we could do was wait. Even though we had our phones to play with, it was still not enough. But yea we survived it.


And that freakin...okay I shan't disclose his full name but his surname starts with a H. Basket, he started boasting around asking us who that guy in the picture framed onto the wall was. He is a great player by the way, and he was the son of Mr. H. Then he told us that he is studying in Harvard and he was the President of SSRA. What a dog. Arrogant basket. Noob. And his handwriting is sh*t. It's those ultra cursive type of handwriting which cannot be read. I can't remember what he wrote on the piece of paper, but it was regarding responsibility and something else. He telling my friend about it actually but I was around and 'joined' in the conversation. After he finished explaining, we decided to dispose of the piece of paper since it served us no purpose at all since we did not understand it.


Well, after the CIP, me and two other guys (Dickson and Joshua) went to the KFC at Kallang. Josh bought a Milo for $1.80. Since there was free refill in KFC, he decided that, after drinking his milo, he would use the cup and fill it up with the soft drinks. Very funny! Styrofoam weren't meant to be used in refilling drinks. Only the normal cups and the small plastic cups. They even had pictures printed on top of the refiller machine thing. I told him to read what the yellow words said. He came back and was like "Oh sh*t! This cup cannot use!!" Made all of us laugh.


Somehow the conversation came to how Mountain Dew or Coke had proteins. Well, Dickson said it by accident. And Joshua had this wth look saying "Since when did Coke have proteins?!". Uber funny. I could barely drink down the 7up in my mouth. If I swallowed, I'd most probably choke.

So that was YESTERDAY.

Now today, I FINALLY COMPLETED MY CHINESE TUITION HOMEWORK!! I decided to do it when I woke up (which was around 11am). Then I went to Soup Kitchen. WHOA. WHOA WHOA WHOA. The chicken there was uberlicious and so was the ginger. You know how nice tender, well marinated steamed chicken taste when they are dipped in ginger sauce. They also serve fresh cold cabbages most probably taken out of a cooler or fridge. Put the chicken dipped with ginger on the cabbage and munch. Simple outstanding. I did not really see the menu as my mum othered some set which came with their trademark chicken, kang-kong and fish. If you have a small stomach, I think it'd fit perfectly for you. However, if you have a big stomach, get another ricebowl. Seriously, putting the ginger on your rice isn't half bad. Well, at least I liked it. Hahahaha.

How untimely to have to go to the toilet now =(
