Sri Lanka Day 31 (Welisara): Emotional Day

Started off the day feeling really down and affected by my nightmare. After reading on the news of the Sabah Earthquake and MERS, it affected my mood and I even dreamt that there was a war in Sri Lanka, causing me to be stuck here and having problem going back to Singapore. Woke up from the dream and for a moment, I looked around me and found that I was no longer in my comfort zone at home and in my room with my sisters beside me. It is always a relief for me to wake up from a nightmare and see my sisters beside me because it is a confirmation that it was just dream, nothing to fear. But this time it was different, I woke up in an unfamiliar place and I was alone. It was 4am locally and 6.30am in Singapore. I had no idea who I could approach to confirm that that was JUST A DREAM. I needed to cool myself and give myself some assurance. I whatsapp Daddy. I checked my Facebook. When Daddy replied, I felt alive again. I cried. It could be tears of joy and relief for myself but also sadness because of the loss of lives recently. Never felt so grateful for being alive and being safe.

Had my breakfast (no photo because i was too engrossed in talking) at the restaurant today instead of my room so that I could use the WIFI and call Mummy. Yup, the WIFI in the room is down again. Talking to Mummy always make me feel so much better and I am so grateful for her because she always listen to me and I can talk to her about anything and everything. Telling her about my dream and how awful I feel makes me feel less unhappy by 50% instantly. Yup, as advised by her, I should watch more shows and laugh instead of reading these sad news. Sigh, the primary school kids are so young and definitely have bright future and having a sister of that age just makes me feel the pain of their families more. RIP and deepest condolences to their loved ones.

This is the construction of Misuki which got the whole restaurant dusty and we started to avoid eating there.

So we are leaving the factory next Friday. TOO FAST and I really missed the people here ): SIGH. It was a really stressful day knowing what has to be done by today before moving on to costing tomorrow. It is always stressful when boss is here. Yup so the plan for today is to finish up the Material Holding Up Report, Visit to Tank Farm and QC Department as well as to finish the payments for imports and local purchases. And knowing that we have to leave this place soon really makes me quite sad because it would mean leaving Uma, Gayan and Mohan they all and that freedom would soon be gone. Also to be told that a presentation has to be made at the end of the internship to the higher management just make me all stressed up.

Today was really a day filled with different emotions. Moving to the head office would mean nearing to the end of internship and nearing to going back home but it would also mean leaving the people behind. I guess that is really how things work, some people got to move on while some will just be left behind. Oh well, this day has to come and all I can do is to accept and move on. I just hope I don’t end up crying since I am a really emotional person.

Okay it is time for me to put behind all these negative feelings and focus on my work. On a side note and to break out of this string of emotions, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TWINNY SISTER! I really miss you and I hope you get a good celebration and yes, remember to get your birthday card. I don’t know where the card is now.

Continued to download shows because you never know when Misuki’s wifi will start working. The number of shows I downloaded is quite crazy and I don’t know when I could actually finished watching them. I am not complaining ahhahahah because I enjoyed like that I never run out of shows to watch.

Anyway, Uma asked me today if I could sing very well because in Sri Lanka, they believed that people with crooked teeth can sing very well and local famous singers all have crooked teeth. Oh ya! She knew I had crooked teeth because I showed her pictures of my teeth before braces when explaining our braces problems the other time. I can sing but whether it is nice or not, it is another question. HAHHAHA. It was really quite interesting to hear that and Uma said because of that they usually don’t adjust their teeth.

Waited for Assistant Operation Manager to tell us about payments before breaking for lunch. Presented on Materials Hold Up Time report and yup! We are done with Operations.

Lunch: Thai Noodles (Not Pad Thai) and Tandoori Chicken

Discussed a little about weekend trip and most likely it would be Sigiriya and Dambulla. Tank Farm visit cancelled because the person-in-charge was busy with the other local interns.

Because of my weak stomach, I have decided to avoid ice cream for the day and so butter cuttle fish for dinner instead. Showed the image Cai Miao took last year to Johnathan so that hopefully it would turn out this way but nope, I still didn’t get what I want. It was deep-fried and Janet was like omg why are you eating fried food when your stomach is already like that.
