Went into office today and didn’t know what to expect. We were supposed to be off today, but since Da Mao and Ken is not in the office yesterday and so nobody said we off today so we just went to the office. Checked mail and did our own stuff until about 9.40am when the guys went off to take bus to Taipei. After the guys left, me and jess was quite lost and didn’t know what to do. So we went to ask them what we can help, turn out that there is nothing much that we can help with except doing some research on OBUS.
Luckily after a while we could go to the CRC site to see how Niu Ge was conducting the program. He played a game which Allan had played with us during OL before so I and jess caught up with the flow quickly. We helped to give out the equipments to the kids and helped to check that they wore the harness correctly after Niu Ge taught them how to handle the equipments. We had to go back to office for lunch since there was no lunch at the CRC site for us as we went there last minute. After lunch, we saw which type of belaying method OBT used and soon after we helped to watch over the kids to practice belaying.
There was this kid, trying to by funny and keep imitating me talking. Probably to them when we speak there is this accent that we don’t realise because in the later part of the day he imitated jess as well. Saw how their giant swing worked, very different from the giant swing we have at ALC. Saw this high element ‘Two Ships’ that we do not have at the ALC, but didn’t get to see how it operates as both me and jess were at the climbing wall to supervise some of the kids climbing. We helped to keep the ropes after the program was cut.
When we went back to the office, suddenly one staff approached us to take photo as they were going to put it into their newsletter along with a short self introduction we had written after lunch I think? Ended up we told them that we’d take from our past photos to be put up instead. Ended work at 5.30pm but we stayed a while longer as we were sorting out our groceries list as well as think of what we want to cook so as to know the ingredients we will need.
We went on to have cup noodles for dinner as we both have the craving for cup noodles today and clyde uncle wasn’t here to nag at us for eating cup noodles. Hehe. Bought some tidbits to munch on as well. Oh yes, yyann! There is the type of cuttlefish that we both love here sold in small packets! I just realised that I forgot to bring the post it note back to the hostel that has our grocery list. Luckily we are not buying groceries tomorrow.
Hope that they will give us the code for the door so that we can go into the office on our own without having to press the bell and bother someone to open the door for us. No internet in the hostel and nothing to do causes me to sleep earlier as compared to being in Singapore. Also, the sun rises earlier and sets earlier here. I think my biological clock which is already koyak is getting more messed up here, but I’m a light sleeper here. Different environment or still new here? I hope I can stay as a light sleeper throughout the IIP and maintain it even till I’m back in Singapore. I don’t laze on the bed as long as I would in Singapore. Maybe cause got clyde uncle always come in and nag me and jess. But even without clyde to nag I will normally only snooze a maximum of 10-15 minutes here. Hopefully it stays this way.
i'm missing him, but there is nothing i can do. i want to tell him how i feel, but should i really? i'm afraid to lose the friendship that i have with him. or should i do it the way yyann did? tell him and after that tell him that i just want to get it off? will it work for me and him? sighs.Labels: iip, taiwan, thoughts
