Ouch! Argh! AHH!!!

Only 2 months at The Hive and I have suffered numerous injuries. All the major injuries were sustained over the past 3 weeks. Help!!!!

Injury Number 1:

The stools Louis made sure can kill if properly utilised. Had accidentally knocked my shin at the side and my skin got scrapped off! Ooooouuuuucccch! The wound is as big as a 5 cent coin.

Injury Number 2:

Was trying to make a cashbox for the cafe and had only a damaged screwdriver to work with. The darn screwdriver can't screw in the screw properly and I had a really hard time trying to force the screws in. One wrong move, the screwdriver slipped and went right at the web between my thumb and index finger on my left hand. The blood flowed like tap water and there was a hole in the web. Ouch! Ouch! OUUUUUUUUUCH!

Injury Number 3:

Scalded when trying to put fish into the frying pan. The fish slipped from my fingers and the oil literally cooked my flesh. YEEEOOUCH!

Injury Number 4:

Painting the staircase this morning. Was reaching the last 4 steps and then I had to stand up to take a break. Bang!! My back hit the corner of the electrical box and yes....AHHHHHH!!! Argh! ....bloody again..... I suspect I hurt my kidneys.

Is something, somewhere playing tricks on me? Help!!!!!!!!!! Now i dread sorting out the renovations....afraid i might just die due to excessive loss of blood or need to do skin grafting soon.....= (

No business...

After Sajjad and Rahman, The Hive has been quiet. The phone sits quietly by the corner...hardly being touched. To be exact...it's hardly touched by me. It seems that Louis would always be the one to answer any calls to check on our availability. Am I so jinxed? hmmmmm.....

The place gets so dusty so easily...with the wind blowing the dust from the road, cleaning the place is really a chore. There are still alot of things undone...today I just finished painting the wood of the capsule. Many operational yet to be settled...Things that needs to be bought but not yet gotten...

When...when...when...when?

It's been a while....

It's been a while i last had an entry here for The Hive. For many who didnt know, The Hive Backpackers' Hostel has finally opened its door to the world.

From a place where nothing seems to go well (internet connection is not functioning as it should be, leakages, noisy aircon [still noisy], dirty side walls, unsightly toilets, dusty doors and lousy TV reception), to the place it is now.....i must say we have done well. May not be exactly fast in rectifying the problems, but at least we are decently functional now as a hostel.

To date, The Hive has two customers, Sajjad Hussein and Abi Rahman. They have been my companion for the past week. So grateful...if not for them, i would have gone insane with no one to talk to.

There are still some stuff undone. Work can't seem to finish everyday. There's accounts to settle, operation matters to complied, the area cleaning to be done...really drained...really tired...but it's not time for me to give up yet. I must make the business grow. The Hive has to be recognised.

I started thinking about the day i stepped into OCS Echo Wing as the TCO. Like now, i was inexperienced. I was afriad to make mistakes. I was scared. What if....what if....what if....so many doubts, so little answers. But i know...like before, i will learn the ropes and soon i will say "if this happens, do this....if that happens, do this.....

Wille and Hong Kiat would be leaving for Australia on Mon. Gonna miss them real bad. We had become even closer ever since we left the service. I wonder if life's gonna be dull without them around

William was admitted into the hospital for dengue fever. I suspect it's the darn mosquitoes here that caused the dreadful illness. Hopefully those bites that i have accumulated over the weeks are harmless or else The Hive would need to activate Neo to oversee its operations. That would probably shag Neo out cos he was so drained after the drilling and mopping the floor. Haha...

It's 2340hrs now....some accounts to settle still....hmmmm
