At the current moment, i'm probably at my Lowest point right now. I feel terrible, i'm tired and i feel like crap. That's about what i feel right now, except there are more things included which i'm probably not going to write in because it's my problem, and i'm keeping it to myself. I feel hurt, and pain, but i'll be okay. It's just a matter of time before i heal again, and it will take time, but i'm going to survive, as i always do.

This week is thanksgiving week, and i survived 2 days of madness because on both days, i worked extremely long hours (14hours and 12 hours consecutively) and this madness will go on till Sunday, where the crowds will probably disappear until they reappear during the Christmas period. Oh boy, i'll be drowned in a Sea of Guests, and it's going to be insane. This week is a taste of what it will be like, and i cannot imagine how crazy it's going to get from now on!!!!

It's the 8th day since i've been sick, and now i'm almost recovered. Felt crap because of the flu, cold, sore throat, major migraines, lack of sleep, cough, dehydration (hot & cold weather), mild fever, loss of voice and nasal congestion. It was insane, and it all started from a sore throat. Fortunately, i'm recovering and that's a good news for my parents in case they see this! I'm fine now, and still am coughing, but i'm alot better and have been a good girl (taking my vitamins!).


I love this place. For real. So much that i want to come back here and stay. As much as i miss my family, i really love this place too. The only thing i'll look forward to doing when i go back to SG is my graduation and to see my family. Wow. I miss them like crazy, but i'll miss everyone here like crazy too. I have a wonderful ST family here, and they all care for me, and everyone takes care of each other here (except for a few, ahem). I am dreading the day everyone else leaves before me, but luckily i'm not the last last one!

As much as i want to say i'll try to write as much as i can, i really won't know when i'll be able to write again. I promise i will, but i just don't know when. Look forward to my updates anyway :D

-D
p.s: I'm not okay right now, but i'll be fine. I promise.
p.p.s: I've changed, and it's not for the better, but don't blame me for changing. This is the change that's waiting to happen, and sometimes, it cannot be controlled.

Oh wow.
Today marks the 2nd month i've been here and so far, it has been amazing. The experience, the living, the work and the environment.
I'm also loving the cooling weather, and i love the sunrises and sunsets everyday! (despite the shorter daylight)
i really wish i could stay longer and extend my stay here, but there's no way to extend the visa. *sigh* but it's alright, i'm sure i'll find a way to come back here in the future!

These few days have been a little colder, and i always wear my work jacket now. I don't even sweat anymore despite being in the sunlight, so you can imagine how cold it is at times.

I went out quite a lot of times with my colleagues and new friends, and i love spending time with them because it is always crazy and fun! :D haha :D everyone is so nice and friendly, and they genuinely want to care for you and stuff. It's amazing :D No wonder everyone will miss them!!!

Work can be a bitch though, because of random guests who decide not to listen and give you major problems. Seriously, they give me a massive headache when they are stubborn. *sigh*
but i've learn to work with it and/or work around it. So i can imagine how it would be like and i won't feel so stuck at work! Plus, i have my friends to help me :D so work is just going on as usual....
:D

However, there's a Hurricane (Ida) coming towards Florida, but i won't know whether it will affect me until tomorrow. If it does come near Orlando, i'll probably be stuck at home and won't be able to go to work or i will still work if the conditions are safe enough. I think i'm psycho and find it exciting for some reason :x

.........................................................................................

Somehow, i've changed. I don't know if it's good or bad. But i'll personally classify it as good. I've grown a little more in terms of maturity, and found out that i can actually do household chores without finding it boring. (Hint hint: Mum, don't force me to do household chores when i go back to SG please!)
I have also changed in terms of my attitude and personality and my thinking. I won't go into detail because i find it's personal, but i feel i've changed. I know i've changed, and i will be okay with the changes. But there are a lot of things that went through my mind that i think i need to finish and complete. Life isn't as simple, and i am a super duper complicated person.

Life is a bitch, so i have to keep it real. Some things just won't work out, and i don't want to be mulling over the same issue over and over again. There are more things that i can spend the time that i would waste if i were to think of the same shit on other things that can be more meaningful. Life can be beautiful if you make it that way, and i've learnt how to.

In some ways, i want to be more direct, and sometimes i want to say Life Sucks! All the nasty things and the stubborn guests, and the lack of sleep and being sick...
if that were the case, life currently sucks because i'm running a fever that won't go away. It comes back when it feels like and it makes me groggy when i take medication for it. It makes me think out of this world and my mind is somewhere on another planet :p I have to suck it up and live with it until i finish work, and then go back home and do my work. I'm so hardworking eh? :D
haha :D

I miss my family, and i miss my dog. I also miss my Star Tours family and my friends :D they make my life what it is and they have created so much chances and possibilities for me to be loved and to feel loved, and how much they all care :D

It's about time for me to go out and meet my friends for a movie already, and time to wrap myself up like a burrito! :D
Love America, and i love Orlando even more. Can i move here? :D
Be a PR or something, and i would love to be able to stay here more.

Life is a bitch and it can suck, but smiling and taking it in our stride makes sucking it all in better...

Agree?
Agreed.

-D
p.s: did i mention, i went out for an event called in da zone hosted by Ricardo last night! :D

I'm back from my absence!
Sorry about that :x
Not being able to update much at all..

Time passes too fast here :( I really enjoy the time i have here and i already miss this whole experience even though i'm still here..
It really makes me want to come back here as an ICP again!

I don't know about that yet.. i just have to wait and see.

Oh boy.
Work has been so-so, but i have a wonderful work family! :)
All the nice people that helps me, and they are so friendly and awesome!
I wonder what it would be like without these people - Emptiness! OMG I can't imagine that..
:)
I love my Star Tours family.. every single one of them on my family list!!!

Anyway,
i managed to go to Typhoon Lagoon on wednesday after class and ended up with a wound so annoying it is causing me to walk with a limp. >.< fantastic right?
I've been taking care of it though, and i have been changing the medication on my legs regularly. Because of this injury, i had to sit on a wheelchair on wed! :x
i had a wheelchair for myself, seriously.

Then today, i survived work while wearing workshoes though it hurt like crap!!
Imagine the stress on your toes :/
my poor toe bled again, and it was once again, awesomely painful like hell.
but it's getting better. :D

I just got back about an hour ago from Rush's Halloween Party at this place called the British Pub right near Tampa or Kissimmee i think. There are hardcore clubbers there, seriously. 0.0
I went there with Makoto, Ruby, Albert, Kimberly, Diana, Chelsea (Diana's friend), Ricky, Josh, Mikey, Brie, Sharon, Robert, Matt & His Fiancee, El, Benny, Rush (of course, it was his party after all) Jonathan, Jason, Mahlia, Pat.. and others i suppose. It was fun!! :D My virgin clubbing experience.. haha :D
Of course, i stayed away from the alcohol and am clean from alcohol! I'm a good girl! :D

More updates eventually..
i'm kinda sleepy as i'm typing this.
rawhhhhh~!
Time to sleep...
*yawns*

-D
p.s: More activities, woo hoo!
p.p.s: I look forward to Give Kids The World tomorrow!

Oh boy.
It has been 1 & 1/2 months since i've been here and so far, i'm enjoying myself.
Today is another reason why i love and enjoy Florida... the awesomely cooling & cold weather! :D
It was a shocker, seriously.
When summer told me it was going to be cold, i did not expect it to be that cold.
I left the house this morning to get to work, and boy did i get a HUGE shock. Seriously. I was carrying my work jacket with me this morning, and then i was holding other stuff in my other hand. I got out of the house, and was frozen there! The wind. OMG. COLD! brrrrrrrrrrr....

thankfully i managed to put on my jacket at the bus stop area, and i was warm again. Tahahaa.
Work was finally enjoyable as the weather was awesome, and cooling, and i was wearing my jacket the Whole entire shift. Never took it off, never sweat at all. Awesomely cool! :D

These few weeks has been insanely crazy and busy for me. Work. Assignments. Classes. Activities. More work.

But in between i did manage to squeeze time to talk to my parents and toto :D
and of course to go out with my friends and colleagues!

Yesterday, 16/10/2009
Had an 8 hour shift, and then was invited for a movie by my colleagues. SO i was like, why not? haha. i didn't know that they would be watching a scary movie until i met them after that.
I went home on the bus at 5.15pm, traveled to Publix to buy groceries alone, carried every single thing (it was heavy, really.) on my own and it was raining (drizzling. it doesn't actually rain.). Showered and met Ruby at the Patterson entrance, and then Ricky & Josh came by to drive us to downtown disney to meet the rest. Bought our 8:45pm tickets at AMC for the show paranormal activity and it was a freaking scary EFFFFF-ed movie. really freaking scary movie.

OMG.
The arrangements that we were sitting (AMC theatres, free sitting!) El, Mikey, Ricardo, Andrew, Me, Josh then Ruby.
Oh wow. You could hear the screams from the entire theatre!!!!! haha :D
I saw only half. and that Half, isn't as bad. The sounds is enough to freak the hell out of me. :x haha :D
tolerance for scary shit? low. :x ooops.
It was mad scary.
Really.
I won't deny the fact that even hearing the sounds just scared the hell out of me. the movie is played to realistic scenes, so thankfully i didn't witness and see the ending part. (Which of course, caused the 2 gentlemen beside me to jump in their seats and the rest to scream.) haha :x

oh boy.
I look forward to Animal Kingdom on Wed with Cherrie dear :D
i look forward to more cold weather (and of course, shopping for proper shoes so we don't get our feets & toes frozen off).

Love Orlando, and i love my life (albeit it being tiring).
Disney is the dream, baby.
-D
p.s: Did i mention, i love my star tours people? :D
Elizabeta, Diana, Albert, Josh, Andrew, El, Samantha, Makoto, Jason, Al, Sarah, Rich, Rush, Jonathen, Amy... oh wow. the amazing people :D LOVES them! :D

I'm free at the moment, so i decided to fill in some major updates on what is going on here in Orlando.
Work is as usual, where i'm required to work more hours now than before, and my timings are all haywire due to the inconsistent work schedule. But i'll get used to it.
I've started to use my work jacket more now that the weather is getting a little colder.
So thankfully the jacket is quite thick! :D

Anyway,
just 2 days ago (29th Sept, US time) it was swearing hot and the sun was so..... HOT... it was insane. You can wake up sweating, and immediately sweat just after your shower. It is that warm.
I hated that day because i remembered sweating so much it made me feel icky, sticky and smelly. I expected the heat wave to last a few more days as fall was approaching, and i expected the temperature to dip slowly.

However, i had a rude shock when i got out of the house in short sleeve yesterday when i had to go for class. Guess what? The weather god decided to freeze the entire country and it was super cold. Like cold cold. Worse than air-con cold. I got a shock, seriously. I was standing in the Sun, under the sunlight, and it was cold. My house, which usually is too cold sometimes, is currently warmer than the outside. It's amazing how the change is so drastic!!!!

I had to run home and get food and a sweater to prevent myself from freezing and suffering :x haha :) But the sweater did the trick in keeping me warm. (Currently i am wearing my sweater and having a blanket on my feet indoors, so you can imagine how cold it is.) But once i get used to it, it's not that bad. Yesterday was the first day of fall, and i cannot believe how crazy the weather got.

But wait till you hear/read about my work schedule. I usually work 36-40 hours per week, and have 2 days off (because i got classes on both days) and this coming week, i have 46 hours plus training! Awesome right? NOT!
Argh! SO annoying..... i don't have any 6 hour shifts so everyday i'll be like...
Sleep-Wakeup-shower-Go work-come home-eat-bathe-sleep

*sigh*

Nevermind. I'll just aim to complete this week and see how it goes...

Blah blah. I shall just go relax and watch tv till my next class! :D
More updates eventually... :D

-D
p.s: i'll update again when i feel like typing :x

Raining season! OMG!
It rained for the first time here in Orlando and it was a heavy rain though! Oh wow..
it was pretty cooling and the weather is getting cooler, so thankfully it isnt so bad.

:)
I'm about to go and sleep because i have work in the morning..
So if possible and after completing a few assignments, i'll update.. if possible only. haha :D

Well, i miss my special someone though.
I miss my family and i miss my baby dog.

Oh well, i'll keep in contact anyway.
I'm in America, living the disney dream!
Cheers to the world!
-D
p.s: I'm getting a sore throat due to weather insanity.,
