coaching 9am class, ryan, charvi and zeyu. charvi improve alot :)

then took over 10m Alvin class ... then took a cab rush over to mindmax ...

---"---
LAST lessons at mindmax
1130am class,
gordon is back after a long break, keeping calling kavan as karvan, sorry kavan. this boy kavan keep on sticking on me, suddenly out of blue hug my leg, then this then i was like -_-"'. yup although this is only the 2nd lesson i ve taught him but it seem that he is very close to me, always do stupid faces infront of me, hug my hand or leg out of sudden.. the noisy jasmine and angeline wasnt here. Jolie, a student who i have taught from her start till now, yup always a discipline and motivated girl. adios jasmine, angeline, jolie, hugo, kavan, nicole and gordon..

145pm class..
one of the most naughty class i ever taught in mindmax but also the most memorable one..










thanks fen for the pic.

kids intro:
left most, Shuen wei: used to be a very hardworking boy when some of his classmates was still around, but then was influence by jonas. haha always find alll sorts of excuses not to do things, too bad i know ur pattern.. his favourite phase 'aiya teacher, don't do also nvm de la' , where got nvm de?? ur parents dont ask you to come here for nothing.

Jonas: a boy who have behaviour problem, even when the principal of mindmax also agree. Make all teachers in school give up on him, trying to get attention by doing stupid things, flare up very easily. BUT when you talk to him with patience, he will listen and do things you want him to achieve.guess alot of his teachers didn do that to him. once I ask him, 'do you always talk to all your teacher in such a rude manner?' he replied: 'ya i talk to them all like tat de, they don care also'.. he have a mum who work 6 day per week and a taxi driver dad.. guess he just need more care and concern from you parents.. his fav phrase 'aiya chip also not money', haha so young and all he talk is money liao LOL... Although you are the most naughty in class and i am very strict to you, but you are one of the student i care alot.. You really did well today jonas !! i am so proud of ur performance today :) Pls teachers out there, don't ever give up on ur own students. You can choose to made miracle to their life, although it may be tough but i think is worthwhile..

Jonathon: haha is his first day of lesson..

Sinyi : very quiet and independent student in class, haha but sometimes you will see her doing some stupid things together with vanessa and shuen wei.. your hardwork will pay off de :)

Vanessa: v guai girl at first, but soon she also turn to a nonsense kids haha. her favorite phase 'who cares?' which slowly influence the class with her 'who cares' phrase.. sometime v good sometimes v lazy..

fen told them today is my last day, they ask: why the boy come then you go liao?? in my mind i was like thinking: like tat also can ar ? it's 2 totally no link de things children.. will miss you kids :)

teacher will we get the photo? yup will develop it and pass to teacher fen ;)

- need to WAIT!! (for mins to days, therefore cannot finish by 1 day grrr)
- need to be patience (no patience not nice, somemore i got v little patience)
- need to wash brush & palette
- need to get/search materials
- need to estimate the amount of paint needed

Whenever it comes to the last lesson of coaching a particular class, jiu shi you bu she de. really hate to leave those kids that i am coaching currently, no matter they are good or bad. I guess this is the bonds formed with them over time. But still i will have to pass them on to another coach..

fire fire.. there was war in office today... everyone have their strength and weakness, no one is perfect. So do try to understand the situation or why did the person say/ do such a thing before flaring up ya ?

I saw it ,now i do understand more about the bonds between family and friends. Thanks. :)

It's this feeling that i once have 4 years ago .. thoughts and thoughts just wanders ..

'cracks' memories

nowcast: stone

A song that recall ..
---------------------------------|

无印良品:如果你还爱我

我带着一颗疲惫的心走了 我知道自己在你心里已不重要
虽然我们曾经相聚过 也许对於你来说
已经没有什么值得回忆

我带着一颗沉重的心走了 我知道自己没有勇气道别离
虽然我们曾经拥有过 但是对於你来说
已经没有什么值得回忆

难道早以註定 不能真正拥有你
难道我真心付出一切 只为了承受孤单和寂寞
我知道你不敢对我坦白 是不要看到我的伤怀
虽然你没有说要离开我 我已经感到你不再属於我

如果你还爱我 你不会对我如此的冷漠
又怎会让我在漫漫长夜独自徘徊
如果你还爱我 你不会对我如此的冷漠
我只能含着眼泪
默默的离开

' f- up' stories

nowcast: stone

Finally a full stop for National LS comp. unlucky day ? all of the beach sprint team relay did not get into finals, either DQ or .. Anyway everyone have did their best. Everyone have their 'f-up' stories/ experiences, people who were present ytd till the events end will understand the term?haha

Andy and me only manage to make it to the 9th position for board rescue, good job dude i know that you are swimming ur best alrd. If there's a chance, we'll try again nxt year...

was it luck or training not enough ?

nowcast: disappointed

heart was like beating faster and faster, drew lots, heat one number 6, SLSS surfboard no. 6 missing, leaving me no choice but to use NUS surf board, strong currents/ waves, so high that you have trouble looking for the buoy, unlike SLSS board this board keep taking in water from the front.. really have much trouble propelling it forward, everyones turning at the same point and i got stuck, finally manage to catch up a 5th placing, someone capsized right infront of me, leaving me stucking there ... rotten luck, placing got all the way back. in my mind i was only thinking of giving up, where my body is still trying so hard... pull pull pull and manage to get back to 5th position again... after the last turning point, 6th placing was so close to me, and damn me, off position towards the finishing pole, shift shift shift and there goes my 5th placing ... the hope to final... completed the heat with 6 position, which is just 1 more position inorder to get into final .. lot number 6, with position no. 6, if only i got SLSS number 6 board too ... Was it luck ? or training not enough ? or was it the problem with stress ? something i trained so hard for .. ya you are right, L = Loser (i know u don mean it but ..) ... I cant even do well in my pet event ..

Andy and i manage to get into finals for board rescue, hope that luck will be on our side, hope he dont swim off position again, jiayou.

There were alot of people getting into finals, rachel (board race), KT, PYK and PL (board paddling), WS and Peg (board rescue), chris and peg torpedo tude rescue, Jin and Marv (ironman /woman), woman's taplin... good job guys ..

nowcast: fear/ anxious

less than 2 days to open water comp.. 2 Js also in surfing .. hope things will turn out fine, scare like last year, lost in the event that i train hard in .. try my best .. no regrets ..

competitions where there is no timings to gauge.. only you urself knows that have u done your best ... where ur competitors are ur guideline...

nowcast: slight inner drizzle

Choice is made. I guess is for the better.. nv regret for the feelings and things done.. thanks for everything in the past, tiny.. Although there were ups and downs, I have choose to rem the ups and forget the downs.. when u are down do rem 2 look for me, ll be there always.. tata ..

Meet Kelvin Tan today on MRT while i was on my way to BL, hahaa all fate, if i didn't giv up my sit he wldn saw me .. he is my microB faci when i was in year2, a great faci who guide us correctly and tried to grade according to fairness. But i guess to alot people there were dislikes toward him. He spend 3 yrs in SP, 4 yrs in NUS studying science but afterall now he ended up in a 'insurance/ finacial advisor' kum part time RP faci. Wonder wonder.. If i keep on persuing my dream career/ ambition, it will certainly be a very long journey.. and thinking of 'finicial returns' for the career , i am stuck and lost ... will pharma industry boom in the future, other alternatives to benefit the society?

nowcast: stone

tick tock tick tock .. counting down towards 9 Oct where another 'restart button' will be press in life.. Cant wait to go into tekong, not because the army life inside, rather it just the thoughts that i 'faster go in faster come out'. Times now are like 'meaningless' to me, although carefree but there's no duties, no goals, no directions..

Sometimes when we take a step back and ask ourselve questions on why are we doing certain things, we cant find any answer to it. Sometimes when we ask, we might find that these actions are unnecessary/ meaningless, we'll stop. Sometimes when we didn bother to think about it, we'll just continue doing it... If there is a practical person, he/she will keep questionings/ thinking about things they should do/not. If there is a emotional person, he/she will just do things based on his/her intuition. If there is a simple person, he/ she will just do things without much thoughts, no matter is it a right or wrong thing. When facing works, studies, practicality/ feelings. When facing relationships with people, feelings over practicality. But what if things were another way round ?

Everyones have their childhood dreams, but as we grow older, some dreams will just get drifted further and further away.. for some alternative routes were taken.. soon people realise what they really want in life ...

Soon compeititions will be over, no more team trainings.. no more routine or responsibility to attend trainings regularly.. Guess after 6 & 7 of Sep, most likely will not see you guys again, will really miss the times with you guys..my memories written 'IN RP LIFESAVING TEAM' ..
