Groundskeeping on 'Off' Day

It was supposed to be my off day but I went to work in the groundskeeping department from 8am to 4:30pm. I was teamed up with a fellow WAT mate named Peiwen who works as a dining room attendant at the Round Island. Our task for the morning was to pluck out all the tulips and weeds from the area outside the laundry room located at the Straits Lodge (the building which I stay in). The tulips had to go because new flowers will be planted for the summer season. It was pretty tiring as we had to loosen the soil with a shovel first before we could pluck out the plants with ease, but time passed very quickly though.

After lunch, we continued to pluck tulips at the areas behind the benches along the Main Street. The soil was softer therefore it was quite easy to pluck the flowers out but there were many of them and we had to empty the cart after each area as it was full. It wasn't very tiring at the end of the day and I actually felt it was quite a fun job. I will probably go work again on my off days.

Btw Alex and I are planning on a road trip to Niagara Falls in Canada on the 16th with 5 other. Hopefully all goes well as planned!
