smiling at the world :)
Today, i was the perfect epitome of what the Singapore Government has been trying to instill into the Singaporean culture and lifestyle through GEMS and the Four Million Smiles Campaign - stuff which i only know about thanks to project work and making plans on how to develop a gracious society :) As a volunteer for OSIM Corporate Triathlon 4 Nov 2006, i was assigned the role of bike marshall - which was not what we originally asked for, but i experienced great job satisfaction today and that makes me feel good, something that i haven't really felt while doing cip, in a longg time.
Despite the sun, flies and lack of seats; Despite the backaches from holding a similar posture for so long, tired legs from standing up for a few hours without rest and weak arms from pointing the red flag to direct participants on the right path (holding the flag was actually quite fun); Despite the intensified brownness of skin; the smiles, thanks, thumbs-ups, winks (hahaa ;P) , grins and random comments thrown my way by the cyclists while they passed by made it worthwhile xD [super long sentence over, yay.] I actually found things that were amusing as they passed and this enabled me to hold onto a grin or a smile throughout most of the time, until the end where they had 5 minutes breaks between each cyclist -_- I guess i decided from the moment the first cyclist smiled at me and i smiled back that it would be a good way to pass time by smiling at them to encourage them as they pedaled past :) Then, i decided i liked the responses -- smiling at others makes both you and the other person happier :) Hence i continued grinning at people who turned to look at me as they cycled past with good results Xp
On a side note, the scenery at my spot (beach1 apparently) was brilliant! Beautiful blue sea, with the music of waves crashing on the rocks (stonebar 23 :P), interspersed with the rumbling growl of jet planes flying overhead on their way to land at Changi, not forgetting the smell and feel of fresh sea breeze... It was quite the ideal spot to stone the day away, if not for my job... i think i'll visit that place again during the holidays to relax, maybe if we had a class outing to ECP my stone-alone-time will materialise if i bike fast enough :D I can just imagine someone on that stonebar( i have no idea what it's really called :x) serenading the sea on a guitar... Would have been content to waste the time away there~
Watched the Covenant yesterday after my first flight in a month! Flight was not bad, considering i was geared up in new things - flightsuit, squeaky boots (which gave me a blister on my right heel -.-) and cool black leather/cloth gloves! The Covenant was an okay movie, but i do not recommend it to anyone...typical teen show which requires a whole lot of suspension of disbelief but the action-packed parts and effects were quite good, except some parts of the plot which were essentially the most interesting parts should have been further developed, e.g. the spider imps, the darkling and the details of Ascension, instead of putting the focus on the relationship between Covenant leader and his newfound blonde girl. There were also some scenes evidently inserted to cater to what the film's producer and director believed teenage guys and girls would be attracted to, namely:
Have been going out for alot of class outings despite once deciding not to go for anymore! >< Such lousy willpower/memory i have... and it's burnt a hole in my pocket. i shall refrain from going out although it's the hols... :X that's such a lie

- Shower scene starring female lead semi-naked [for guys]
- Half-dressed female leads in their dorm room [for guys]
- Male shower/locker room [for girls]
- Swim sequence starring male leads in swimming trunks (but i must admit they do have hot bods xD ) [for girls]
- Guy-kiss-guy scene [for yaoi and incest fangirls -.-]
