Last day teaching those kids from PCS BB.. Gonna transfer back to Admiral as NTUC classes are resuming back to normal. This was the first class I officially took, from their first lesson to now(from the day they didn't know anything to now able to do F.kick and BF.kick) and now I have to really say good bye to all of them.. Really hate to leave them... Guess this was the result of bonding ba, not convalent bond la .. miss u kids lotsa..
nxt nxt, it was kind of disappointed to see the number of turn out for land training. This actually reflect on the team itself, where people are not really interested in training together as a team.
ok all the way back to NUS invitational last saturday, did not break my PB for 200m ob swim but did way better as compared to last year national, feel that i could have done better (train to hit 3m for this year national). Rope throw, miss on the first try, manage to get it on the 2nd try. 4x50m medley relay(fin), hit PB of 27sec, hope to hit 25sec for national.

whoO nothing much to mention, just realise that there are so many foods i want to eat at my house opp coffee shop, the $2 wanton mee, chicken noodle, chicken rice. the $2.5 fishball noodle, handmade noodle. then the western food also! goreng pisang ! It has been a very long time since i last ate them.
there was something that has really pissed me of over at boon lay int, while waiting for the bus to arena CC, and this minor incident made me think about why local detest certain group of the foreigners.
They does inconsiderate things like:
a) resting their leg on the sitting bar infront of them (for goodness sake will you want to sit on something that someone have step before, moreover you never know what they have step on beforehand.).
b) talking loudly when the person is just next to them
c) spitting on road and pavement (wth if you are spitting on the grass or drain then it might be ok) BUT you are spitting your mucus + saliva on areas that people walk on !!
d) Throwing litters everywhere (hope that you guys will kanna CWO!)
e) Not giving way to alighting passagers (next time you block my way while i am alighting don't blame me for my action)
Of cause this inconsiderate things are not just done by them, there were some local do it themselves... SO Singaporeans please be more considerate and set a good example to the foreigners in Singapore.
Next next.. met dennis at koufu today! he ran towards the drink counter and paid for my order, and that shock me.. :)
'Once my teacher, always my teacher' no matter what you have taught me, as long as you are the one that I have once acknowledge as a good teacher, you will always be .

The first LifeSaving Camp was finally held. After so much 'call off' of camps in the previous years, due to reasons... Ok the year 1 this year was 'eye' opener to me, there were people with very different culture, character, attitude.
I guess my task of 'passing down' skills of open water have been done. I see the willingness to try more, the crave to know more in most of them.
This camp wouldn be such a success without zhuang, the energizer of the team. Also the people working behind the stage, like yk, lf, adriel.
Thanks tiny pig alot for staying by my side when i having really bad fever after the return from arena ;)
another very important thing is the 'finally' change of attitude in gary after 2 year, it's a good thing i would say. Finally he understand that a IG dont survive by having good players to win compeitition, rather it survive by a group of commited people who have bonded and love the IG and willing to 'train' to improve. TEAM . teammates + commitment = existance of IG, champion - team commitment = existance of IG superficially...
'shi shi wu chang' = nothing is permenent ...
'mind over body' challenge ...

Interesting incident that happen on the train. There was this person sitting beside me keep on dozing to my side, my first thought was er... wth... but then later I think about it actually i did the same thing when i am very tired, I will tend to lend toward one side. Perhaps she was very tired at that point of time. then with the jer of the train this person woke up, saying sorry. I repiled 'orh' with a emotionless face.. After which the cycle just carry on and on, 'sit straight, lend toward shoulder, then lend toward forearm, then sit straight again' until the train stop at cck. my reaction was .. haiyo don care la nvm ba.
come think about the reaction, what will be the possible reaction:
- stand up, leave the sit
- tap the person shoulder, tell the person about the situation
+ bo chap, ignore the situation, just let the person be as he/ she might be too tired
- the LOL reaction, 'hey you can have my shoulder...' guy to guy might seem gay, guy to girl might seem wrong haha..
Then i was thinking, I shouldn't blame people for that... this set me ponder a question, 'what will be the best answer to show the person that you have really accepted his/her apology?', to me i think the best answer to it is simply a genuine 'smile' from the bottom of your heart. :)
mind set to training, last competition, all I hope is just to participate for still water relay (fin) and open water surfing. Gonna get serious .. concentration . 100% for each training = more then 100% in competition.

hmm today ?? Felt relieve.. cos able to complete the task of bringing a kid name zhong ping into water haha, also they were able to perform relatively ok for the task today. taking private classes feel way different as compared to Childcare classes.
Nxt nxt while makaning fried rice at the coffee shop near teddy bear, suddenly i wonder that it will be SoooOOo good if we get to choose the ingredients we want in the fried rice like yong toufu pattern.
MTG, last lesson for Justin and Shuen Wei.. Ok now all the 'problematic' kids have left. They are just like challenges for me to overcome. Behavior, slow learning pace, low attention span... Although J have been a 'disrupt' to the class, I hope that he will continue the program, and see the improvement in him. I do understand that not all teachers/ trainers will want him to continue the program as they see the 'disability,'ADHD' as something uncurable or someone in the 'group' which shouldn't be include in this program, but i strongly think otherwise. Kids in the class might not understand his situation, but we as a trainer should...
Really hope that i can join 50m finning.. concentration, determination..

Thursday was an hell day after so many years.. whole body aching, head also ache haiz .. thanks tiny for 'nagging' me to take panadols.. it was a long time ago since my last 'heavyhead'. nv want the tupid feeling again. then come into my mind, what could be the root cause to it? think think ..
Finally reaching a almost complete point on the project, although it's not a really 'BIG' project afterall. But there's the sense of satisfaction when things are being done properly and have some praise comes along with it. There will be some carry on stuffs to do, e.g. changing the amount of boxes on card, also purchasing of stock up gift from aunty pauline.
tomorrow ? busy day at north... SLI admiralty till 10am then WL mtg from 1130am to 315pm..
People might ask, why do you work without knowing how much you are being paid? It will just be a word answer 'experiences'.
somethings, sometimes there were other factors to consider rather than just being practical about pay and salaries. Yes, people do work for money. But never be blinded by $$. Cause it might result in losing more precious things in life..

Responsible is the word which have made life so complicated, things would have been much simple if choice were made according to personal benefits. Being responsible is one of the principles that i will stick to for life, cos this is the way i choose to...
so much things cork up, over at TNT side, timing changes and there were lots of other changes. changes come even before i can settle down with the present one.. v soon there will be more decisions ...
CBR 150 vs Pulsar 180
which one will be a better choice ??
hmm
fuel saving: P
design: same same but CBR don look good with a box attached to it
power: C
spare part avaliable: think C
machine price: C will be cheaper...
HMMmmMmmm ....

wah wah wah !! think my lungs will turn black as time passes over there :( keeping taking in 2nd hand smoke.. haiz .. muscle slacking also , keep giving myself excuses not to train in the morning, 'aiyo do it tmr la, today tired' haha tml tml and tml haven come, mus be more discipline !buck buck UP! thanks tiny for the snacks in the lunch box!:D
don think i coach well, sort of demoralised, guess need use my brain juice to think how to make things better. Hope to earn enough to get a bike for myself, more convenient and save transportation fees.
okok that's for past few days,
today, learn alot of things from nataniel, the training is fulfilling, although i was quite reluctant to get into the water with the sch trunk.. I am consider unlucky not able to have a swim coach when i was young, somehow or rather, i am consider lucky being able to swim now and getting BM. how i wish there were people out there teaching me the proper swimming techniques.
thanks tiny pig for the lunch at Eunos :)
tmr will be starting work earlier at 12pm, hope that there will not be much changes.

md: high .. lo
yes! i have finally found a job which fitted in perfectly into my time slot. which means it wouldn't affect my coaching much at all, as the job
location: Loyang
night shift time slot: 8pm to 8am. (4days/ week)
this job was found through Mansfield agency, which i think is far more professional as compare to recruit express just by looking at the way they handle things.
BUT certainly there will be some sacrifices in the future, might not be able to attend trainings, might not be able to acc her, might not .... might not ... :(
'life's just like a chess game, every step u take will affect the way you are gg to continue , there's no turning back'

--.. changing changing, playing different role in life might not be easy, but it is also not as difficult as you think. me? my role, as a trainer, as a coach, as a student, as a friend ... ... Different role require different shift in 'faces'. sound complicated.. trying my best to put these thoughts out into word. 'how well can you play these different role in life?', they requires different qualities, different purpose.. 'know my role and play it well'

whOOo whole morning + afternoon at home ... not rotting at home, but doing some minor housework + resume. something that i am proud of today : I HAVE FINALLY COMPLETE WRITING MY RESUME after soOoooooOOoo long.
TINY's happy today toO! cos she manage to hit on the dot for her problem statement + compliments from her faci ! great job :)!
There were so much changes, misses the school days where things are so 'schduled' or routine i would say.. currently working as freelance at MTG and SLI, hmm things are so unpredictable, changes every weeks ... Looking for part time jobs in healthcare industry, hope to gain more experience, pay doesn matter ... If manage to find one more stable part time, will consider sending in 'resign letter' in MTG side.
Reason for quiting at MTG side: after the 'reshuffle' button being press, lots of things changes, classes change, lesser classes as most goes to the new full timer. feel like not needed there.. So why not press the 'go' button ourself before them? haha JG should understand this para the most la uh ..

Collected private O cert at MOE ... then went around searching for nice egg tarts with CH ( cos he wanna buy ....... ). It seem that most of us have realize the importance of saving now.At the time we reach upper secondary, we have being given the privilege to control 'our own financial' independently, whereas most of us have made a very big mistake by spending extravagantly.. from there we learn from our mistakes as we grow ... part and parcel of life ...
Bus home, I would say there are so much coincidence on the trip back home, saw MF on bus 12 and then HL when alighting bus 12 to change for bus 28 ...
hope to be enlisted as soon as possible ...
