    The Ugly Truth

    A scene from Pretty Woman :

    Vivian: People put you down enough, you start to believe it.
    Edward Lewis: I think you are a very bright, very special woman.
    Vivian: The bad stuff is easier to believe. You ever notice that?

    Head of Safety.

    Next week, the TESL group will be off to Pangkor for some rest and recreation. Oops. I mean 'Sports and Recreation'. Don't think they'll be giving us a break - we even have to replace classes for that camp which is in our curriculum! Have you ever heard of such an injustice?

    Well, now you have. Bad things always happen to good people. *sigh* =P

    Anyway, I was appointed Head of Safety for this camp. I can just imagine the scenario. There I am standing on the beach, hollering at Epa who's being chased by a shark in the water, " Epa, WHO TOLD YOU TO GO AND MAKE FRIENDS WITH THAT SHARK?! Now is NOT the time to make new friends!"

    Or maybe, " Epa, go go go, I know you can do better than that! WOW, that HAS to be a record breaker!"

    And when she reaches the shore and blood is running down her missing left leg, " Epa, so THAT'S where the ketchup went to last night, eh? And stop leaving your leg in your tent, you're supposed to come for all activities fully equipped."

    What can I say, I was just born to be Head of Safety. *smug smile* "Guys, I just heard there's a tsunami coming. Let's go WIND-SURFING, WOOHOO!"

    You know who to sue if anyone disappears during the camp.

    ...The people who appointed me.
