06042006
2 weeks back, my lab organized a tea-party for our participants and it's a success. Phew, Sam and I took alot of effort to organise it, of course, with the help of the rest of the members, including the Sleep team. Hence when Boss came back from the States last Monday, he promised to give us a half-day off to enjoy. Yesterday, Boss fulfilled his promise and took the lab to SICC (Singapore Island Country Club) to celebrate. I've never been to SICC..SICC's really ulu leh..the cab driver just went round and round the winding road up to SICC..the scenery's beautiful. So we had lunch by the pool...my boss's really the ultimate. He placed the food orders from the phone when one of us just have to walk a little way in to place the order at the counter..That's my boss man!
Then we bowled and played pool. The best part has yet to come. For a start, i can't find no. 7 ball to bowl. No. 6's too tight for my grip, No. 8's too heavy for me..In the end, i settled for No. 8. We had the SLABS vs. Sleep competition and as usual (not that i brag), the SLABS team won and the prize's Delifrance coffee. But yesterday's just really not the day for us to bowl..Vinod , the star player in the team, scored consecutive 9s in the game..and we're like..'C'MON!This is just not happening!!"..and then i almost went with the ball to the clutter-i almost slipped and fell at the lane..It's just not our day lah..so anyway, Vinod and I decided to stay for a 2nd game and that's where things start going wrong. Just into the start of the 2nd game, i was preparing to bowl the ball and suddenly the ball just got stuck at my fingers. It's only when i use a little bit more of force at the end of the swing that the ball came out of my grip and what happened was that...yesh, you've guessed it..the ball went flying out of my lane and landed onto the concrete floor (we're at the 1st lane), not before hitting the pvc covering at the side of the lane 1st. I just simply covered my eyes..I don't dare to see what'll happen to the ball..Vinod has to go and collect my ball back and the staff came to check and noticed the crack at the side of the lane. OMG, i was really freaked out by it..Seriously freaked out..
Boss went out for a live radio interview so we got to wait for him to come back to settle it...When Boss came back, he's smiling and his mood looks good enough when i confess the mishap to him...They said they'll call him after the maintence ppl assessed the damage and i told Boss to charge it to my acc. Boss's kind enough not to throw a fuss about it and scold me...just told me it's okay..which makes me feel even worse...Oh God,how did this happened?? The incident just spoilt my day..really...I was feeling worse even when i went church in the evening..i just dun feel good about damaging things...I should have been more careful..
Prayer: "God, I thank you for keeping me safe from the flying bowling ball, but i wish i'd be injured, rather having to damage other's property...I thank you for Boss's kindess and generousity yesterday...for being such a nice boss to everyone...Thank you Lord. I pray that you'll watch over me always, keeping me out of trouble. I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, your son, Amen."
