ORD... counting down...
Hey peeps, what's up?
You know, for the past whole week, I was having this terrible sore throat. Then it escalated and snowballed into flu, cough, and eventually, fever. Like a surprise package for me just before ORD. -_-
I went to see the doctor yesterday cos I was feeling really terrible. And guess what was my temperature? 39.3 degree celsius! I think it's a record-breaking one for me. The past few days in camp I felt rather lethargic. How funny, at this point of time, people would usually revel since ORD is already like only few days away?! But for me, I felt numbed. And to top it off, this irritating thing called illness. The doctor was like saying, if there are any rashes I should be wary. The first thing that came to my mind was dengue. Ok. That's a bit too much for me. But then, she blamed it on the bad weather and was saying many people were "high" on fever recently too. So I would rather believe on the latter. If there's anything to blame, blame it on the weather! Definitely not me right? Oh come on, look at me, I'm strong! *Flexes muscles* ;)
Anyway, I have already brought most of my stuff back from camp. My bulky duffel bag which I spent time cleaning and washing it even though I really dreaded doing it. My field pack too. All fully stuffed with army "goodies". And now they are all safely "thrown" away in the mini storeroom. Let's hope "they" have a good time in there. And let's hope I don't have to touch them. Ever again.
Ok, let's see. How many more days to ORD? Officially should be 4 more days. But I've officially declared myself an ORD personnel already since there's really nothing much left, except some dekitting stuff to do in camp on Monday, our Battery ORD function on Tuesday at Sentosa, and CNY celebration on Wednesday. Oh and of course not to forget the toiletries still left in my cabinet.
With that in mind, I really need to find jobs real soon. I mean I'm doing some part time now at the tuition centre and teaching tuition, but I would want more assignments. Tuition agencies kept calling me up for assignments to which either I find the pay too little or I have no time to entertain the requests. But for now, I would pay attention to every opportunity given to me. Another one called me earlier just now. It seems a pretty good deal. One month, once per week, 1½ hours per session. Primary 5 student. $220. Still waiting for a reply though.
Anyway, tuition can't be the only job. It's just something extra. Another avenue to earn extra cash. So I gotta find some concrete job, hopefully a lucrative one. But tell me, where can I find such a good lobang?! I think I told dearie that I wanted to earn my first million when I reach 25. I wanted to laugh my head off but it's always good to dream. Haha. Admin jobs for me is a no-no, unless the pay is really good. I just can't bear to sit in front of a computer typing all day, craning my neck, squinting my eyes on the monitor or furiously scribbling away on pieces and pieces of paper. To put it simple, I'm a rather restless person. This means I need to walk around. That's why I prefer to do sales. I like to talk too.
Okok, later.

WOW!! 39.3 degrees! I think my temperature was near that when I decided to admit myself to the hospital last Xmas.. Its real strange, sometimes u just dun feel so sick, yet it is actually like REALLY bad.. Haha yup its usually the weather.. Dun exercise for a couple of wks till the illness subsides. Water and slp v impt!!
Yup.. Jobs real soon.. Scout the papers when u are free, and feeling better of cos..
Im real careful with tut assignments. If I cant commit for like at least half a yr, I dun do it because I dun want the poor kid hanging half way in the air. Essentially I believe a FULL-TIME job is vital now, after all there is a lot of time till school starts.
Nonetheless of course, self-learning is still to be kept at the back of everyone's mind. Be it as a tutor, or some other job which u will find for yrself soon, remember to read up, especially for uni-relevant stuff.
Admin is boring and all that, but personally I find it a good first job, as it will equip us with the admin skills for other jobs. Of cos it depends on u.
Take care hor! When u better le, do let me know..
