Update: My laptop has unfortunately crashed and I'm not going to bother my dear room mate by cramming her personal laptop with my millions of images, so I'll only be uploading stuff hopefully in October, or a little earlier.

I am going to take a few minutes of my precious sleep time to blog. This two weeks has definitely been the highlight of my life in America, fo' real real not play play. Tomorrowland and Splash Mountain Exit has been the two work locations I frequent the most, especially Splash. I have met the nicest, craziest, funniest, cutest people there, and because I'm crazy too, we have so much time together, laughing and playing around, though most of the time they laugh at the Asian (it actually seems pretty awkward for me to call myself that).

I have been at Splash like, at least 3 or 4 days in a 5-day work week for this month. And it has been the best times. Despite the random partners and back-to-backs, I somehow get to work with the same few people and I'm just enjoying my work (it is definitely not boring even though I have been doing the same thing for half a year). If you ask me to continue writing on my log book, I can do it without a word of complaint because everyday I have something interesting to share.

Last Thursday, a colleague of mine, Wilma, actually helped organise a little gathering of the toys and attendants to have dinner together at TGIF. About nine showed up, to my delight, because it was so late minute and we kept changing plans because of the bad weather that has been going on here in Orlando. Although it was a short dinner and a game of Phase 10 (I'll tell you how awesome this game is in about a minute), but it felt like I have a family over here, and it was family time. I just can't explain the cozy feeling, but I was so overwhelmed with hugs and i-love-yous, I was so happy.

Phase 10 is the most awesome card game I have ever played (yes Singaporeans, it is better than Monopoly Deal, at least to me it is) and I have been playing that every break/lunch break/down set times at Splash. In case you don't know, I work every 20 minutes in the hour, and break for 40 minutes. I'm not bragging because it is a tough 20 minutes out there in the heat, but I do enjoy the long break privilege.

Tonight, it was Simon, the attendant that I love to work with so much, it was his birthday dinner at Applebee's. I had a good meal and managed to meet with some of the colleagues again for the last time. At the end of the meal, the waiter even got me and Simon free dessert! It is either that, or the rest fork out money to pay for us, it was so sweet. I was telling them in the afternoon during work that, I had bet I would cry on my last day at Splash but they were too funny that I laughed the whole day instead. And there I was, tearing at Applebee's. (Now I feel all emotional again thinking about it) I am pretty sure I gave out a hundred hugs to my colleagues these few days, and they were all that kind of really-big-and-emotional-hugs. Most of the time I get lifted off the ground because they are all pretty much 6"4' thereabout.

I guess I finally got to the sad-to-leave-my-toys part. It was like:
Phase 1: I'm not going to miss anyone because I don't really know anyone that well
Phase 2: I don't want to go home this is way too fun!
Phase 3: Gosh this program is so long when is it going to end? Seems like it'll never end
Phase 4: Omg I'm leaving soon
Phase 5: Oh yeah I'm so ready to leave
Phase 6: (Now) I am sad because I probably might never see those lovely people again
That's because I don't know if I would spend the money to visit Walt Disney World, after playing all the rides, been to all the parks for thousands of times because I have worked here for half a year, and also that my colleagues make barely enough money to pay rent, that they cannot afford to fly all the way to Singapore to visit me, don't even think about all of them coming together at one time too.

Tomorrow and the day after I will be at Tomorrowland, where I bid farewell to another group of lovely colleagues who works more often over there. I already feel sad again.

P/s: I'm definitely still on a little of phase 5 too because I'm really excited to get out of here to go meet KK, and also back to Singapore to meet all those people I said I'm going to meet.

Okay I really should get some sleep I almost late this morning -.-
