I'm still alive (but not for long though~)

I'm glad that i'm still here writing entries during the 10 days long Orientation Camp of my Hall... It's only Day 1 afternoon (the first day start at Day 0), i felt so tired as though i've been through 5 or 6 of sleepless days already....

This year i no longer need the physically challenging part (like standing still for 30 mins during the morning drill or running madly all across Hong Kong)..... but that doesnt mean that's an easy task..... i gotta take care of my group sons and daugthers (they're the leader this year) and grand-kids on their diet and almost everything (a total of 30 plus people)...... last night is my shift for cooking dinner and dessert..... it took me and other 2 people two whole hours just to cook the food (we have Chicken wings (a lot ^^), Scrambled egg with thick tomato paste (you gotta know if you're chinese) and Pork with Chinese cucumber) (forgot to mention the rice with veggies in it..... it's the most problemetic part.... need to do so many procedure in order to get them done.....) luckily they loved the food we prepared....

After dinner it's another nightmare.... the cleaning and washing time.... spent another hour on that again....

Helped out a bit on teaching the cheers to the grandchildren later that night..... then we had sago dessert (once again, an excellent product by me and my buddies ^^)

Didnt sleep till 4 or 5 in the morning.... waking up at 6 again to help with the dishes at breakfast.... (i was more like a house-elf than human..... i spent most of my time in the kitchen, doing all the cooking and cleaning~) (nevermind, making breakfast is quite a good experience.... macaroni with ham~)

Finally tried something new..... i was the interpreter for the opening ceremony of the O camp.... pretty interesting job... but at the same time a challenging one....

After doing the dishes from today's lunch (and cleaning up the pantry for later use)... i am sitting comfortably in my room, treasuring the little free time that i had.... i guess i might sleep for a while before going out to dinner with the kids (finally a meal without fuss)..... i shall write soon~

"Something that didnt sense quite right to me..... am i too suspicious?"
"Have Faith, I believe I can get to the goal someday...... someday....."
