12.7.07
it was a tough day at work...
lots of running around...
i was TL-ing the 3rd and 4th floor of the hotel...
and boy, it was my busiest day ever...
not sure why...
but i was running around replacing spreads, fans, shower curtains...
restocking my RAs carts and stuff...
but what truly took the cake was when a friend said that we simply just walk around...
or more aptly put in hokkien...
gia lai gia ke...
i work too hard to be put down like that...
and i'm dead sure the guy too...
we get so exhausted after work these days we dont wanna hike no more...
which sucks really...
coz i really wanna see stuff...
thinking that a friend tells you that in the face...
you kinda think abit and wonder what has she been saying behind our back...
it wasnt a one-off, slip-of-the-tongue...
coz i told her it was a unfair comment...
and she kinda went on to substantiate her comment by going on about how other TLs run...
while some walk...
and something about how i dont see the guy work so how would i know if he does...
i dont think i can help it that i dont have stamina to run 8 hrs continuously...
but i do know i work my ass off...
it was only the second time i've seen the guy so angry...
in the two and a half years we've been together...
he's always the calm and collected one...
cool as a cucumber...
i guess it was the straw that broke the camel's back...

at least the day took a turn for the better when the guy and i went down the hill to the field...
to support the Mammoth gang in their last soccer game...
we took a breather atop a tiny hill...
it was breezy...
strolled a little...
went on those old-school swings...
Jon came to pick us up...
he caught us right as we were coming off work...
said he was going to take us to Transformers...
but gave us the ride down first so that we could catch the soccer game...
took the hour long ride into Livingston...
watched the awesome movie...
in our uniforms no less...
chatted the hour long ride back...
talked about his life...
thought about ours that has kinda yet to start...

maybe life is too short for petty quarrels or misunderstandings...
but maybe my heart's just not big enough...
