Never thought it would be so fast that almost 1 year have passed since the day I departed to Yellowstone National Park. Now is my juniors' turn to go for the Work and Travel in USA program. Whenever I saw the photos they uploaded about the dorm they stayed, the working place, made me recall back my time in Lake Village, Yellowstone National Park. Although it was very fun and exciting to travel around USA, the most memorable and unforgettable is still my experience of working in Lake Village.
Every morning me and my friends have to wake early morning ( around 6.30 a.m.) and took turn to have a shower. However, I was always the earliest to wake up and while waiting for us to shower, one of my friend always took this 'advantage' to sleep a bit longer. LOL. At 8 am after some stretching session to warm up, we will start our day to clean the rooms.
The breakfast we took every morning
The steps to clean a room was always the same and we have to do the same things for 15 rooms or more.It sounds boring but we always will find our own enjoyment and entertainment in it. Haha. Before opening a room, we always pray to see a face on the "ex-President of USA". Mostly there will 2 "George Washington" on the table, and if we're lucky there will be "Abraham Lincoln" or even "Alexander Hamilton". During lunch time and dinner time, we will compare with each other of whom we "met" on that day. LOL. My highest record of getting tips in a week is 90 bucks. HEHE.. But I also have another record which is 5 consecutive days of not getting any tips. T.T Besides that, we will always compete with each other of bed making, the fastest time to clean a room and so on. Although it was boring to clean the rooms, we always had our own fun. ^^
Seeing this will motivate us to do the job better! lol
I still remember during the end of May and early June we still have to wear a sweater and gloves to go work. Along the way the path had been covered by the snow. It was very very very cold~~~~ I barely feel my hands when I reached the hotel. It was my first time to experience snow. It was a great experience but it wasn't fun, because it was too cooooooooold~~~~ haha
Even though it was very cold, we still wanna play..haha
However, the most precious moment for me in Yellowstone is the moment with the friends I knew there. After work just hangout in the employee pub, drink some beer, play some pool, eat some pizza, chit chat. During weekend went out to explore the National Park, climb some hills, saw some great falls, and discovered some animals which wouldn't be found in Malaysia/Singapore. What a life!
Cheers!!
Big Pizza for everyone!!
Adventure time!!
Osprey Falls
Bison walking on the street like a boss
Our last breakfast with everyone.. T.T
I really miss you guys!!!
I really miss those time!!! No worry, no stress, just enjoy the life... Although this life couldn't last long, if I have the money, the time I would want to go Work and Travel again in the future!!!
Last night was such an emotional night. Everyone was excited that Manchester United was going to lift up their 13th Premier League trophy at Old Trafford, but all the fans and players were going to be very sad because it will Fergie's last home game......
Walking in like a BOSS..wait.. He is the BOSS!! lol
The game started well, both teams attack and defense nicely. We waited until 38 minutes 26 seconds, the little pea made a difference in the score board!
But in the second half, the Swansea's hero- Michu scored an equalizer with a brilliant flick of ball. The scoreboard stayed as 1-1 until 86 minutes. While everyone were thinking the game will end as a draw, Rio Ferdinand stood up to perfect Sir Alex's last home game!
Strike like a Striker!!
The game ended 2-1, although it wasn't a clean sheet , Fergie still can experienced United's undead spirit for the last time. Right after the match, Sir Alex gave a speech to announce personally to the fans about his retirement. He also mentioned Scholesey will retire after the game and urge the fans to stand by for the new manager whom will be David Moyes.
Although we already knew he is going to retire after the season, it still hurt to hear him announce it himself. It was really a sad moment to see him set down as United's manager. We really need to thank him for all the GLORY he brought for Manchester United. #Thank you Sir Alex
After his speech, it was the Glory time for Manchester United, the trophy presentation. The Captain and Vice-Captain let Sir Alex to lift up his last piece of trophy, the 13th Premier League title!!!
It was such a fantastic moment at Old Trafford, everyone were celebrating around with the trophy.
However, it wasn't a perfect day as Rooney was left out of the team sheet. Everyone was shocked to see Rooney wasn't in Sir Alex's last home game team line-up. All the rumor have been spreading saying that Rooney might leave at the end of the season. Even though he looked very excited and happy to lift the trophy, there was an awkward moment between him and Sir Alex when he got the medal he just took a quick hand shake with Fergie and moved behind. Not even a slight hug was given.
After the celebration, Sir Alex told the media that Rooney had made a transfer request and said he wasn't keen to play thats why he was left out. Why Rooney why??? Why you have to choose this moment to make such request??? Are you not a Red anymore??? This really hurt our feeling, I wouldn't want to see you leave... I always thought you will be the next Ryan Giggs.....
I never thought this day would come so soon. Seriously I wasn't prepare for this news. I nearly burst to tears when I got the news.
I still thought Sir Alex Ferguson will lead United to win another Champion League trophy.
I still thought Sir Alex Ferguson will lead United to win another 3 consecutive Premier League Champions.
I still thought Sir Alex Ferguson will bring CR7 back home....
But this day will still come and it was today. Manchester United official website had announced that Sir Alex Ferguson will retire at the end of this season. Even though I still can't believe it yet, but its the truth. He had lead Man Utd for almost 27 years, he really deserve a rest now.
Thank you Sir Alex Ferguson for bringing us all the excitement and glory for Manchester United.
Thank you Sir Alex Ferguson for bringing United to be the most successful English football team.
Thank you Sir Alex Ferguson for bringing United to win the second and third Champion League trophies.
Thank you Sir Alex Ferguson for giving the class of 92' a chance and making them to be LEGENDS.
Thank you Sir Alex Ferguson for bringing Cristiano Ronaldo to Old Trafford and transformed him to be the greatest football player in the world.
There are still so many things I would like to thank you, but the most important is.....
Thank you to be Manchester United's Manager!
You have been a leader, a father, a symbol, an icon for Manchester United. I can't imagine Manchester United without Sir Alex Ferguson. But I will still support the Red Devil thru my whole life, and hopefully you will still stay back to be a part of Manchester United.
