Went to palwan beach training..Saw jieming and his friend at the bus terminal in sentosa..We took the yellow line to palawan beach..

We alight at dolphin lagoon..We then walk all the bus to look for Mr Sim...Saw him standing at the beach with his distinct cap and long sleeve shirt..

I went with Mr Sim to get the Surf board from the lifeguard there..The surfboards are those we used at changi..they have bring over to Sentosa for us to train..

Was talking to the lifeguard on duty to give us the key to get the boards..Then suddenly the lifeguard ask u all from NUS u know who is Ronghua?I was like!what???Mr Sim say i am ronghua loh..I then remember he is Mr Neo...which i talk to him last time when i come to sentosa to express my interest in working as a lifeguard at sentosa..he was the one who took my particulars..but he say he lost my hp no..he ask me if i want today?i was like what..today..hehe..i look at Mr Sim..he just say ..sure...go and work..haha..so strange ..suppose to go training ...went working like that..then another lifeguard Julian came along..Mr Neo call me to follow him..i am to work from 11am to 7pm.

Julian gave the key to Mr Sim to get the surfboards..they are going to silso to train...

I get on the buggy with Julian..he bring me to the lifeguard station to put my belongings and change up...All the guys are slowing coming in..They are the ones doing the 11am shift...All the guys are talking and dicsussing who is doing which post?and who is doing with who?

Julian sent me to tanjong beach..which he claimed to be the safer beach around..there will be 3 people there..

I was sent over by buggy to the tanjong beach post..Julian was briefing me on the life and work of a beach patrol life guard..

Reaching there i saw the 2 guys..jiawei and shiqin...intro myself..jiawei..he show me around the beach...the different areas of the tanjong beach...

he then briefed me on the equipments around..the kayak and the very red typical baywatch topedo buoy..

He then call me to go up the watch tower..it the highest tower around..can see real far ahead ...can see the happening pub km8.it real happening pub..saw alot of happening ppl hanging around there..with the good music..

Went to 7-11..thought of getting my lunch..but not much food left..nvm..go home then eat my dinner...

Siqin have to go home..another guy came over to take over..Then we can see a storm coming ..dark clouds coming..we went down to call all the guests to leave..it starts to rain very heavily and worse thing the wind is really strong..we hide in our hut..which is not gd enough..cos the rain is still coming in and the wind is still blowing..we are shivering like mad..it really damn cold..what a day?..hehe..my first day..

We take turns to hide the toilet..really cannot make it..then an incident happen..3 ang moh guests took our kayak and went out to the sea..we ran after them..calling them back..on 1 look they are damn drunk...they are talking nonsense...we get them back..we bring our kayak back on the sand...jiawei warned them not to do it..

julian came over on his buggy..he want to show me around the beach and orientate me..before long his walkie talkie ..my post has request for help..the same guest has snatched the kayak and went out to sea..

Julian comms for ranger help...we went over to take a look..julian went over ..he call jiawei to get into the water and and swim and call them to return to shore..

They returned shore..julian gave a very serious warning..after everything..he bring me back to the station to fill in the particulars..he then want me to go coasties to bring out some floats with other guys..Matthew show me how to take out the floats..Kok chin also come over to help..We put the floats at the corner behind the first aid office..
