back (for now)

my journey with facebook and twitter has prevented me from visiting my blog but anyway,i doubt any living human being would read it too so what's the point?haha!

Life has been good since i entered army but things aren't as smooth as some ppl would hope for and there are many ppl who hopes for an easy life in army just to pass time and get out asap but to me,i take ns as a 2years holiday from my studies or wadever shit that i used to be busy with.I enjoy my time in NS,i look forward to work everyday although it gets tiring but still,with everyday passing,it can only mean that i am 1 more day closer to ORD which is good,isn't it?Maybe its just me,but i find a few similarities between my poly and my army days,maybe its more of the job scope and hence the similarities in ppl's working attitude,character and stuff like this,not really abt the work itself but rather the environment,still i'm enjoying it,adds spice to my monotonous work.

I was browsing around fb looking while waitin for my hair to dry so that i can sleep and i came across the profile of this girl that i have once played tennis with.She is decent looking and she is of the same age as me,she belongs to the out-going kind of girl,anyway,to cut the story short,after reading her wall,i realised she has a bf that is at least 12years older than her,lesd educated,not very good looking for she seems to like him alot.To be honest,my first thought was,wad the hell did she see in the guy and up till now i still cant get an answer.haha!

Moving on and last but not least,i think my life has come to a point where i think i need to move up a level in the way i think and the way i do things to enable me to achieve more and to be able to reached my long term goals.

This is what i have for now.BYE!

CNY!haha...long time no update..this is going to be a real short one.

enjoying my life currently,at least satisfied enough with what i am going thru at the moment and i'm sure i will enjoy the process and work,it brings a different type of experience to me n hopefully i can build on the experience and lesson learnt from there.

HAPPY CNY TO ALL!

bored bored bored bored bored.....................thats how i am feeling now..

suppose to play tennis in the morning but weatherman says no becoz it was raining so decided that i should go for swimming training tonight to bid goodbye to my coach,i haven train for like 5months??But its too hazy outside so not a very good condition to swim...sucks man..

i have 2more weeks left before i step into that island,i dunno how life will be there and i dunno how i will cope with it.I have no fear in the training or whatsoever but it is sth else that bothers me that little bit,if i can cope with that,i think it shouldnt be a problem...we will see how it goes.=)

On a side note,liverpool is going form bad to worse.....new owners,new manager,even the results are new...never had we lost so many matches in the opening 8games n its our worst start is dunno how many years..we are stuck inthe relegation zone,ppl say no teams are too good to go down but we will not go down,at the same time,we will not qualify for champions league as well...its a sad case and every man u fan is laughing at liverpool...

tmr is wed and its midweek....oh god!the week is going to end again......i need a stop button to stop the time from running,its ticking away so quickly..

i'm done done done with lifesaving!!no more lifesaving and now i can concentrate all on my coaching career,i'm so looking forward to it and i think army comes at a wrong time and it disrupts my progress but anyway,i'm still looking forward to army and i dunno how i'm going to survive but i will find a way to as i always do..

liverpool is on a slump and everyone is laughing at them,let's get our act together asap and prove ppl wrong!!

i didnt sleep well ytd,i woke up in the middle of the night and felt really thirsty so i drank alot of water and as a result,i emptied my stomach after i just finished my breakfast and the colour is greenish..eeee..

okay,i got dam bored and i created twitter,let's see how i can utilize and i will start to explore.

Back!

i guess my blog should be dead and buried by now but since i'm dam free now so i shall attempt to keep it alive,at least not without trying.

My life these days revolve around coaching,tennis,soccer and slacking,basically i'll be doing one of the things at any second of my life.Sounds boring but i think not,first i will start with coaching.

I have started coaching swimming and took up school assignments and at the same time being attached to a swim school which i have my own class to teach.Teaching can be boring and sometimes annoying but when ur kids come up and say thank you to u becoz they feel they have improved with the pointers u give,it can be very satisfying.As a coach at this level,i would say our objective is not to make our kids swim like michael phelps but rather be a competent and strong swimmer.I always try to incoporate fun in lessons but sometimes it's not as easy becoz everything u do is under the scrutiny of the parents,as parents,they pay to let their kids learn swimming and not to have fun but as kids,they want to have fun,so i'm caught in between but i always believe swimming should be a fun thing and not something of a burden to the kids.

After coaching for sometime now,i feel i have changed my coaching philosophy a bit,i used to think that swimming is so easy and why kids just cant learn the proper strokes and techniques,but habits are hard to change and it is what i am working on with my students.I hope to teach them the correct things and hopefully with more experience,i will become a better coach.I have also learned to be more vocal and stress on key points not just asking them to swim aimlessly,i take different approach against different age groups and i think it works.As coaches,we need to be flexible at what we do.

Tennis,how is tennis part of my life?Well,i picked it up when in poly,at that time i feel i have the necessary talent and i picked it up quite well but i never thought of continue playing as i do not have friends who plays tennis so i just brushed it aside until i discovered a forum in SG filled with tennis enthusiast,then i start to play again and from there i improve by playing with different people and now i can safely say i'm quite good at it,not exactly like federer or my idol,robin soderling's level but at least i can serve,rally and volley decently enough.I love playing singles becoz i have control of things on the court whereas in doubles,sometimes u just cant have the same influence and control in a match but i am starting to love doubles now becoz it improves my volleying and it's more tactical than singles,also,i do not have to cover so much court!

Anyway,playing tennis and meeting different ppl has been a good experience for me,although not everyone that i met is pleasant but speaking for the majority,i think they are all great ppl.

Slacking,this is my favourite and can be my worst enemy.At times,i am so busy,everyday i am out and i wish i have time to slack but sometimes i just don't have anything to do,i will feel very very bored.I can't walk around my house as comfortable as i used to now that i have a maid,like now,i wanna change water for my fish tank but becoz she is ironing the clothes near the fish tank for the past 3hours,i cant change it.Aw man!

Okay,i think its getting too long.I am bored this week becoz its school holiday and there's no school class to teach but luckily i have US open.The match between Federer and Soderling will be shown tmr morning.WAHAHA...i cant wait to see it.=D

PASSED!

YES!passed my swimming instructor course!
