First day of work

was kinda my first day at work yesterday
we reported to Adventure Pier, the furthest away from our house
think its the smaller of the 3 piers also...
cos we were lifeguards, we were given the smaller rides to handle
we'll have our lifeguard shift in the day and then ride operators in the night
but the water rides are nt open yet, so for this weekend we'll be ride operators.. im in charge of a very easy ride called the "Apache".haha...helicoptors!
the season's not here yet and the weather's still quite cold
today's very cold, weather.com shows a 10deg C...
predicted to storm again..hope it doesn't man
that's why the theme park's only open on weekends now..
it'll fully open in a few weeks...
so, we had to study the ride manuals
then had a short training with the "supervisors"
then had a short MCQ/T or F test (i got full marks.haha)
after that we did some cleaning up of the grand prix cars
and then we rode em for ~15mins! super fun! haha
why i say "supervisors" (quote, unquote) is cos i do not see them as supervisors at all they are really biased against asians
our "supervisors" are some young punks who have not even been here before
and they applied for a job just like us
and they're our supervisors.oh well
while they were "training" me, they were gg on and on abt the party they had yesterday
or what they wanted to have for lunch
goodness...how unprofessional
the wind was (and still is) superrrrrrr coldddddddd
the sun is hot,but when the wind blows...........you freeze.really freeze
we went to Rio Grande after work for some chinese buffet
it's only abt an 8min bus ride from here
the food was SUPERB
and the best of all, we made new friends!!
made frens with the sporeans from the house nxt door
they're really a hilarious bunch of ppl man
had loads of fun with them..now the group is like huge
went to this place called ROSS and K Mart too
the textiles here are really cheap man
food's ex but shoes, clothes etc etc really cheap
there's a cinema there too..they watched spidey3 there last weeek
think we'll watch shrek 3 there together
some of the locals are really unfriendly man (well most of them are)
on the bus back, we were just talking normally
and the woman infront went "would you mind???!!!"
so we were like "whaatt??huh?" and we laughed a bit at her grouchy-ness
she replied "ha ha ha ha ha, very funny huh?"
could hv slapped her face man
when she got off she went "ha ha ha ha ha" again
what a b****
and there were some blacks sitting infront of my friends
the bus lights were turned off for awhile and u could turn on ur own indiv light
my friend wanted to look at her new radio, so she turned her light on
and they were like "what....turn on the lights for what?turn it off!"
my friends dint hear it, but i heard....tsk tsk tsk tsk
the ppl are like how unfriendly.....i'd say worse than s'poreans la

today we're gonna have a trial run
pretend the pier's open, and run our rides like how we would
then gotta do cleaning up again...
saturday its gonna open and there'll be some guests..
i hope the sun will come out man! if nt i'll just freeze...
ok gtg get ready...work's at 10am
