i'm just so eager to use the computer whenever i have the chance to use it. u see, the computer's spoilt and i'm running all around to use computers. i'm going to the library to use, going to other places to use it and even going back to sch for it. now, this desperation has brought me to my neighbourhood lan shop where everyone else here is playing lan. i'm sorry tt i have to bring my brother along. he's so bored tt he's just sitting here, looking at others playing cs. i'm taking care of him today since my sis is at prom, my parents are working.

well, jason and wes, little kids are little kids;sorry i got the name of the school wrong, but what can a little spelling error do? ok, sorry, but i reek of the term retard. hmm.. about our class outing, i'll check with howster and get back to you guys. must help me arrange to. ok, wes, no prob, using this as an advert board.

yesterday's lifeguard duty was a most interesting encounter. i'm still learning about lifeguarding and though it may seem slack to the outsider, i'll say it's a pretty stressful one too. because of the responsibilities involved. being the lone lg on duty is n't the most ideal situation. u have to look out for everyone and that makes sure you have to concentrate on the movements of others for the duration of your duty. you know, being in the pool swimming is much more fun. well, what happened was this mother was with her three young boys. the oldest wanted to this boat floatation toy and he toppled his brother who was in it. his brother had a ring buoy around him and when he was thrown into the water so unceremoniously, he went in head first and the ring float prevented him from getting upright. i was all the way at the other end of the pool complex and didn't get a chance do anything but simply look up in alarm. i was alarmed to the occurances because the mum ,whowas busy with her youngest boy, had screamed. thankfully, there was an instructor who was in the same teaching pool and he quickly hauled the boy upright. my only role was to go over to offer some meager assurance and offer help if required. the boy was alright, just shocked and
had his ears stuffed with water. the mum spent the rest of their swimming session scolding her eldest, telling him tt he'll be caned when he got home. he almost killed his brother.

all the training i have will not be able to prepare for some of the weirdest circumstances. i've got to work on composure, reaction and aftermath handling. i believe i can, just need to learn fast and even faster. i've got duty again today, from 5 to 9, so i'll take the chance to hone my skills.
