my 2 night-shifts are finally over!!! worked on both tues and wed night...it feels weird to go to work just as people are going home, and to leave for home just as people are coming to work!! lolx
you may ask what we do at night? hmm for e 1st night...Fey, Xiwen, Elizabeth, Song and i watched "Battlestar Galactica" series from 10.30pm to 6.30am. we're not supposed to sleep during work, but we were too tired and fell asleep while watching e show at around 5+am!! we even used our 45mins breaks to take naps in e aircon room! and, thanks Pierson for buying mac supper for us!!! for e 2nd night, Xavier brought Masrin, Lawrence and i to site. we had a night site-walk and then stayed in e BSG lead-room to read e BSG manual for e rest of e night! at about 1.30am, we went up to e peak of e coaster to have a short break! i simply love standing up there...no sun, just e cold breeze and e night scenery of e park!!
my manager told us that soft opening of e themepark will be on 7th jan, family day on 10th jan and official opening in late jan!! that means...we only have 3weeks to complete all trainings, clean up and tidy e whole attraction, to be fully trained with controls, to finish all tests so that it's ready for people to ride!!! yes, and all we have is just 3weeks!!!! it's bound to be a hectic and tiring way of celebrating christmas and new year this year!! haha
------
i don't want to be someone who starts losing her friends once she starts working. i'm really afraid that this will happen, especially towards some friends who were previously very close but now, we hardly meet up or even talk on msn. i didn't even know that 1 friend is back from Melbourne (i rmb he said he'll come back in dec but not sure when) until i saw another friend's blog!! this's how out-dated i am. please, i really hope we can find a time on my off-day to have a meal and catch up with each other. i'm missing you guys alot.... =(
*off to bed now!!!*

i'm so lazy to blog even on my off-days. like what many people say, off-days are for us to catch up on the sleep that we lack, and to catch up on the shows that we haven't got time to watch. haha
anyway had a BSG gathering on 29th nov (last sun). BSG stands for battlestar galactica, the duelling coaster in Universal Studios Singapore. i've been helping with the testing of the coaster, and my manager wants us to gel with the part-timers (who are fixed to the attraction but full-timers still don't know where we'll be fixed at), so we had dinner at Lau Pa Sat. more than half of us worked that day. not just the crew, my team manager and area manager also came for the gathering. when we reached, there were already alot of food on the table but the main highlight was SATAY!!!!! lol fyi, 22 of us ate 350sticks of satay!!!
we had much fun and laughter tonight. a pity some full-timers will be leaving us. the posting for our home attraction came out yesterday night and a few of them have been posted to other attractions. but i'm still fixed at e coaster attraction!! when the park opens, go take the duelling coasters if you want to find me at work!! don't worry, i'll ensure that your restraints are tight and secured!! lol anyway i'm looking forward to the next BSG gathering...where it'll be a fixed team of FT as well as many more PT!!! =)
*Jianqi, take good care of yourself while in China. see you soon~*
