Exams are finally over and I've been working since Valentine's Day till Friday. Well, Saturday to be technically correct. Worked from 7 am-2 am. It's hell doing the sai-gang. But, for a weird reason, I love the hell at check-in. Though everyone is like totally against it. But last night after check-in and when I was back at the office, I pulled one of the ligaments of my left sole. Ended up limping. So, I stayed to do the vouchers for the next day while every able-bodied men, fat and skinny, and the 'hiong' girls, went to move 100 cartons of water. I was SAVED! So the water has been moved from one branch to another and the vouchers were done. It's 2 am.

We went down to The Balcony @ Heerens to celebrate Glenda's birthday. I didn't know I was underage in there. Guys had to be 21 to be allowed in. I didn't have an identity check and I was only told after I sat down inside(not by their staff, of course). We drank white wine and to be honest, I got a bit fearful of it thanks to the perth-plane incident and on top of that, I only had a slice of pizza in the office before I went over. So I didn't dare drink much. I was already so exhausted and the alcohol made me even more tired. There were points in time where I fell asleep when everyone was chatting excitedly and they were all laughing at me sleep. So, eventually we played 'Cai Hao Ma' just to finish the cake and what's left of the wine. I was lucky enough to guess most of the numbers so I ended up finishing most of the wine in my glass and the cake. I got so so tired that I realised the words were coming out of my mouth before they could register in my head.

So we went home. For me, to sleep but for the others, to take a quick shower before heading back to the office to do morning check-in. Honestly, if I felt wide awake after my shower, I would offer to go back to office. It's not really working for the money. That I'm sure. It's more than that. Happiness earned and achieved withouth monetary means. But alas, I was too exhausted. Anyone would be too if they worked the Afternoon shift and SuperFull shift the next. Well, I knocked out flat when I touched my bed.

Woke up at 4 to have lunch and I FINALLY CLEARED MY TABLE OF ITS MESS! But it's gonna pile up again soon after the new year. And this year, I finally helped out with the cooking preparation. No, it's not just the fanning of the charcoals like other years. But the cooking portion too. I cut the abalone, I served soup, and refilled them. My aunt kept going on in a Teochew phrase about the value of me being increased from one cents to two cents. Well, dinner was great. Home cooked food, as always, is the best. I got so tired after dinner, I fell asleep sitting on the sofa while everyone else was playing Blackjack. When I woke up, it's 2am.

Seems like I'm gonna be having another sleepless night after all. It's gonna be a busy week ahead. Happy Lunar New Year!
