Here's a quick update. Today was the first day of facilitation and it was indeed an experience. I shall not expound in detail about my job experience, hahah..perils of job blogging eh..suffice to say that it was definitely not easy. I felt weird wearing black pants and long sleeved shirtIt was held at Coral sec sch, which is all the way in the east, at Pasir Ris, thus I had to wake up at 5.30am today, but amazingly I managed to jump right out of bed at the first shrill of my alarm clock. Managed to get there on time, which is 45mins before the actual training begins. Oh, the greatest mishap was probably that the soles of my shoes chose to give way then. I wore my mother's shoe cos I knew that my new shoes would give me blisters..sigh..but a very helpful student brought me to some technicle workshop to fix my shoe.

I must admit I am quite clueless about ava stuff and all that, and as it was my first faciliation, I was pretty clueless about things. Luckily, there was a able team of ava students to help me out. It pretty much went on without a hitch and I had fun interacting with the students. I tell you, who needs dieting when you have work, I only managed a cup of coffee with milo from the canteen plus a egg sandwich and I had to walk around the auditorium alot and keep track of the students and all, so food was the last thing on my mind. But the most amazing thing was that after a break, a student actually bought me food from Mac's- fillet o fish and the fish fingers(or whatever its called). I was like whoaho, what did I do to deserve this, but then I guess many things in life is undeserved, and we just receive lor..hahah. But I was really touched, it was my first time and all, and the students were so nice, or at least the majority of them were..

The training ended at 5, and I managed to hitch a ride from the trainer to river valley..heheh, so I got home pretty fast. So now, back at home after a hearty dinner where all I want to do is sleep after a long day, but no, I have a report to do but other sch stuff as well...oh well..

At least I had a very pleasant weekend, meeting the Kaetnians on Sunday at NYDC to celebrate me and merrilyn's birthday. Though many were too busy with school work to come, I really appreciate those who managed to come despite their heavy workload, esp derek, with a term paper due the next day. I enjoyed eating my favourite baked pasta with ham, mushroom and chillies and also the jazzy brownie topped with vanilla icecream. And I got my ipod nano skin..wheee..hahah..no more worries about scratches and also a G2000 clothes voucher, now I can go shop for more long sleeved collared shirt, I have my eyes some striped ones already...heh

And now...back to work..
