Oh well... holidays are ending soon... especially for those of us who are doing ia... mine start on the 3rd jan which means next week tue.. that leaves me wif a mere 5 days of precious holiday left... not to mention that i have training on sat.... so in the end i am left wif 4 days of holidays....
Today went to pandan road for this safety orientaion course so as to get the permit to enter jurong island as well as to work in the oil & petrochemical industry... today is the earliest i have ever awaken in the whole holiday i guess... at 6.45 am.. of course not counting sat trainings that require me to wake up at 7am.... hmmm... what can i say? the course is a waste of my time?
not that i din learn anything but then all that was really required can be taught in a few hours but instead the course took one whole day... not to mention that i only know there was a test at 4 pm one hour into the course. there were basically 2 lecturers...both are rather boring but i prefer the older one. although he was not that fluent, can feel hs sincerity and attempts to make the lesson interesting... the other one... all i remember about him was his rather egoistic tone, the fact that he keep stressing he had a double degree in one of the best uni in US and that he is a volunteer not like NKF who pay volunteers... tat one has to be passionate and compassionate to be able to teach so long like him.... a lot of useless stuff... no doubt it is interesting but i just can't help but keep dozing off... luckily there were like 3 breaks so i can freshen up a bit... glad to say i got my pass successfully at the end of the day...
sad to say i have decide to take up this nite module that clashes wif my mon training... i seriously need to take a module and there are not much choices available... not to mention that i cannot just pick any blindly cos my caps are at stake... i noe that some ple will be affected cos of my absence from trainings ( stunts cannot be performed) but i seriously hope that they will understand. i feel that i have sacrifice a lot for this cca despite repeated scoldings from my parents to quit but then to place my studies at stake is a bit too much for me. after serious considerations i have decided to take up the module and i sincerely offer my apologies to my team mates. but i assure u that i will go for the rest of the trainings no matter how sick or tired i may be unless the company has requested that i do ot.... here i would like to say.."SORRY guys... i noe i am a bit selfish but to sacrifice my studies is something i dun tink i can do. so pls allow me to be selfish this once k? i promise to work really hard during trainings as always."
