Sometimes a girl feels like kicking something hard.

No, I'm not on mia.
I'm just too lazy and busy to update this personal space.
Hehe, and hey, don't blame me for doing so!
Well, to answer the questions.
No, I'm still currently jobless, because I officially failed (to put it badly, flunked) the lifeguard assessment watertest.
Why?
Mainly because i was unprepared.
UHHHHHHHHHHHHHs. Thanks to me being dumb enough not to go to my coach before going for the test on my own, its totally game over before you can say good game.
Here is what's included in the entire assessment:
Watertest:
1. swim 25m, tow 25m under 1.20min (real life size manikin as your victim)
2. IM (100 m each - in case you don't know, IM stands for individual medley, and that means 4 different strokes- frontcrawl, breaststroke, side and the backstroke, no butterfly in lifesaving though.)
3. CPR assessment
If I remembered correctly, since i only took a quick scan of the entire to-do's and to-be-tested's, the visual glance did not really scare me to death. And i even had to fill in this 'i guranteed that the cck swimming complex would not be held responsible for any of my injuries' and 'i'm healthy for the test' form.
Well, here's how i fared for the items.
For item 1, I would definitely have passed if not for the adult-sized manikin. FREAK.
It was reallyreallyreally bulky and seriously, i would rather tow the tester. At least, a real human would be "soft", if you know what i mean. What was even crazier was the fact that I had not seen such a huge manikin before and i was like going 'huh? .. ? ..' At least chonghan saw the manikin before when he took BM. Hey, i have not! -___-
Plus, the down factor was that the manikin could actually sink in water.
You know what this means right?
It was literally shouting "HEY, I'M FAGGING HEAVY AND I'M SO GOING TO MAKE YOU SINK WITH ME. ITS TTTKA."
(p.s: TTTKA, in other words, triple T, K, A, means 'the-time-to-kick-ass'.)
When i first saw the manikin submerged entirely in water, i knew it was no good.
I tried to tow it back of course, but that stupid manikin was not naked. LOL.
Soooo, its 'shirt' or whatever piece of cloth it had on, kept slipping and i had to like blindly grab, i dont know, its butt or something. What's worse is that its plastic hands are longer than mine, and heavier. Talk about bony. It was plasty. LOL.
Okay, the manikin is a he. And half the time, i'm trying to keep its, (oops, 'his') head above water just so to show that the victim is not drowning. Come to think of it, if i recalled, the other lifeguard-to-be's didn't even bothered keeping the manikin's head above water. Should have actually thought about how to improve the timing instead of how to move the piece of man-made shit.
Ahh, if i had knowwwwwwwwwn.
I didn't even had time to check if 'he' had balls.
What i would have given to see a man-made penis. LOL.
And the first thing i would do, kick it.
And holy, i didn't make the timing. (i did 1.47 instead.) So, byebyes to me.
Sadly, the tester, Mr Francis, told me 'to practice more.'
Practice more? i didn't even know i had to practice for anything before the test.
Sighs. Now i know.
i could vividly recall that assistant lifeguard tester smirking at me behind his black sunglasses. okay, maybe he wasn't smirking, just smiling at me politely.
Most probably, i'll have to ask my coach to let me train with the manikin...and you can be sure i'm so going to manhandle it.
But, anw, the thing was, i didn't even get a chance to do the 2nd and 3rd items.
Cause i failed the first.
Plus, i was the only girl among all the lifeguard-to-be's, the youngest and the smallest in size.
Kudos to me.
I was like super nervous cause all the guys there were like staring at me.
They are probably thinking 'what the hell is this girl doing here?' until the tester actually said i was there to take the test.
T________________T sadded. i failed the girl population.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHS. whatever. Anws, i rly didn't know what i was supposed to do for the test, and if i didn't get it wrong, you were actually supposed to prepare for the test.
Thanks to my dad who told me 'you can just go there and tell the tester that you've stopped lifesaving lessons due to o's for 2 months.'
Ya right. Judging by how serious everybody there were, if i actually said that, i think the guys would totally be laughing at me already. Andd, it would be an immediate 'get the hell out of here.' LOL.
Btw, they were really slow for their 2nd item.
I INSPECTED THEIR SWIMMING OKAYS!
If i could do the 2nd item, i would own them mans, all except for 1 guy, i guess.
ARGH.
And when i say slow, i really mean cmi kind. Like, slow-slow.
Like, uhms, their strokes huh. Tsk.
Well, actually i was kinda glad i got kicked out on the first item, because even if i passed the 1st AND the 2nd, (which i definitely would if given the chance), i would not have made it through the 3rd item.
Because they timed your CPR compressions. (They actually printed out the compression rates. Gah.)
And hey, it has to be accurate to seconds. So, without having practiced CPR for the last 3 months and being unsure of the steps, i would obviously fail. And, it would be chao 丢脸.
Oh wells, i'm deciding to go for another try on being a lifeguard next year when i turn seventeen. At least, that gives me an opportunity to GROW FATTER and NOT FEEL SO INTIMIDATED THE NEXT TIME I STAND BESIDE SO MANY BOYS.
Of course, the next time i go for the test,
I. WILL. BE. PREPARED.
(P.S: i don't dare return to cck swimming pool alreadyyyyyyyys. Because the lifeguards there, esp, the old one with the orange sunglasses who swam so freaking fast he caught up with me when i was one and a half lap ahead, -that was not during the test of course, but on one occasion when me and my bro were there for leisure swimming- would remember me and they would definitely laugh. T___________________T )
i'm so afraid that i'll return to cck swimming pool, (when i can't help it), and then the laughing spree starts.
AHH, let them laugh.
Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the candy empire.
Hello. My name is liying, without any spacing in between.
I'm obviously a girl, if it isn't obvious enough.
I also have this super, uber, long name which says
Any one will do, its your choice.
My awesomeness can't be contained in such a teeny-weeny box because i'm sensational.
Yes, I'm loved, bayy-beh. I blog about everything under the sun and anything that's the past, present and the future. My profile page is non-existent, because its not long enough.
