Working Weekend

It's Saturday again & i'm updating my blog from the site office instead of the usual internet cafe... kinda skiving... hee!

A quick update on what has been going on this week:
1. it's everyday 4.30am wake up & wash up
2. leaving the apartment at 6.30am
3. starting work from 7am - 7pm (including weekends!)
4. aussie BBQ lunch everyday at our warehouse (lamb chop, chicken kebab, port sausages, coleslaw, bread)
5. late dinner at 9pm
6. in bed by 10pm

About work:
For this event, each of us was given 4 airshow polo t-shirts, 1 cap, 1 spray jacket (like windbreaker), 1 fleece which is a thick jacket to keep warm (all with company logo printed) & a safety vest - ours to keep for all except the safety vest. Pretty cool, huh? =P

Weather was good - cold throughout the week at a top of 22 degrees on weekdays. We had several days of dark clouds, threatening to storm/rain but thank God, it didn't... But it gets more & more difficult to wake up so early as the days goes by. However, there are couple of things which i look forward to when i wake up - it's some kinda motivation lah... You would need that sometimes, think positive, you know? It's all in the mind... ha! Well, i would look forward to a nice hot shower, 2 slices of toasted bread with butter & jam, a cup of coffee (oops! coffee again!) and the beautiful sun rise view when we reach the site office!

Check out the photos i've taken under "Airshow Down Under 2005" in My Photos. If you find the sunrise and/or sunset pictures beautiful, you should see it live for yourself... It's just awesome! The magnificent creation work of God...

Work was quite ok, so far. Coming into the site office each morning, we have to gear ourselves up with airshow pass, safety handbook, safety vest, safety shoe & a 2-way walkie talkie each. Guess the walkie talkie makes the work a lot fun & interesting.. hee! It gets really dusty here at the site. There are layers of dust on my laptop after some 5min! And i think i'm a bit sensitive to the dust 'cos i've got some rashes round my neck...

About the apartment:
I'm currently sharing a 2-bedroom serviced apartment with 3 other female colleagues for this airshow at Geelong. On my 1st night sleeping in a room with 2 other girls (Eva & Emily), i didn't sleep well or at all for that matter... Then, i had a dream (i think) but it was so real i wasn't even sure... i felt someone coming very close (i mean really really close) beside my bed, i could hear her breathing down at me, kinda pressing me down & in my mind i've this impression that someone was Eva... then i tried to open my eyes to wake myself up but couldn't... when that 'thing' left, i opened my eyes to see the 2 girls fast asleep! i don't think Eva has any sleep walking habit so i reckon it's probably some unclean spirit... it was quite an experience for me 'cos i never have any problem sleeping whenever i travel overseas... anyway, i prayed again that morning - like i did when i 1st arrived in the apartment... & guess what? i had exactly the same 'dream' yesterday night!! Didn't tell the girls about this, lest it freak them out... ha! Other than this weird episode, i've been sleeping quite well... Who wouldn't after a long day at work?
