my past 2 weeks had been really fruitful. jaime says that the sole purpose of blogging is so that we make sure we live each day meaningfully. and we need to find the discipline to break away from rigidity. what a paradox. jaime handles everything with such harsh discipline. yet jaime IS one of the most wild, lovable person i know.

i took on a new student called "irene". she's 40 and she's hip and cool. she can skate, but she hired me to make her skate "more stylo". haha it was good fun teaching her to skate, as we both talked about how ang mohs like to act stylo but we asians like to fish at the jetty. time truly flew, and it was another finished lesson. i'll enjoy her remaining lessons.

i had duty.
on the 1st Dec, friday
i went to office and it was really a boring day at office. but on that day, i found jaime students, and suddenly jaime was my fellow coach! and suddenly she's desperate to skate to de-rust. we agreed on sunday.
on the 2nd Dec, saturday
i had a personal "chalet" in my office! ok it was actually duty, but i spent the whole day watching VCDs, playing pool by myself, and talking to the duty clerk from another branch. in the night i actually slept in my office instead of the duty room. Duty was really easy, for a change.
on the 3rd Dec, sunday
i woke up especially early, at 6am. usually duty personnel only wakes up at 7.30am, and then they take their time to handover their duty and book out. but on sunday, i went to shower with ICY COLD water at 6.15am. i could hear my own teeth clattering against each other, but i was so excited about the day i didnt wanna waste an extra minute in camp. by 6.45am i was fully washed up - teeth brushed, hair gelled. by 7 am i was preparing the entire handing over procedure so that the next officer who comes only needs to puts his signature down, and i can leave camp asap! i didnt wanna be late meeting jaime at her place. when i finally left camp, i reached her place at around 10am, because i went to buy breakfast for both of us. jaime came to fetch me, wearing a really nice vintage pair of skates (i LIKE!!!) and sporting her very short hair. haha... when she saw me she was wearing her signature 100000 megawatts smile. and then it started to rain right at that time (what lousy timing). in the end we had breakfast at her cosy studying room, our conversation was so fluid, i wonder why nothing was missing after 5 months. after breakfast, we talked. (ok we talked throughout braekfast as well, so... heck) den she started showing me all her photo albums and her weird "projects"! jaime is so amazing she actually had a hamster business going on when she was only 10 or 11 yrs old! well, she lost 12 dollars at the end of the business, but i bet that was priceless memories for her. rain finally cleared, and we went skating!! skating around seletar was really refreshing. i felt like i was skating in teletubby land! everything was jus so plain, so beautiful. so... "romantic" according to jaime. so skating was really nice, and then after then we went to coach a little boy together, with jaime being the demonstrator for everything that i taught viki. after that we went for dins at ang mo kio! what a day!
on the 4th Dec, monday
i had duty.
on the 5th Dec, tuesday
i was about to knock off from work when jaime told me that she's found a job! i called her up and arranged to meet her at night to get skates from her because she cant possibly bring it to work. and suddenly i had to go meet the funtypeople because jaime wouldnt have allowed me to go thru all that trouble of going to her place from boonlay! so funtypeople had fondue and stuffs and then i went to meet jaime at her class BBQ. after we went to her place, jaime SENT ME HOME on her car!!! it sure feels weird to have a girl send u home! in fact in all the years, i dun believe ANY of my female friends even came CLOSE to my place.
on the 6th Dec, wednesday
i did not go to work because today was a nice day to take off. however i went to SAFRA Mt Faber to do some work before i proceeded with my own stuffs. i was LUGGING my huge bag with 2 pairs of skates in there. i did a little shopping, then after that i went to jaime's workplace to pick her up for our skate lessons at bedok reservoir park. we met MRS TAY, and she was a remarkably nice and easy-going customer. Clement, Darius and Charissa were really nice students and they learnt really fast! we overshot their lesson time.
mrs tay (jokingly): "its past the time already. will you be deducting the extra time from our next lesson?"
me: "usually we stop before the end of the lesson, unless we're having fun ourselves"
mrs tay: "so you're having a lot of fun talking to me la?"
me: "hahaha, cant u see jaime is having so much fun? she's practically playing with your kids..."
later in the night jaime revealed to me her evil plot.
"i'm trying to get them to like me. maybe after the skating, i can give them tuition."
*vomits blood*
this time around i sent her home.
