met up with kaiyu, tenghui, vince and weiting for dinner... ate at V8 at bugis junction... food was not bad but my stomach was still not feeling too good... but the food was not bad.. decided to go bowling... but wasted some time waiting for silie to come down from pasir panjang... so we went to eat dessert while waiting for him... ate at monster ice.. a shop near Sim Lim that sells sherbets.. nice nice...

bowling was not bad... played 2 games... 2nd game was my highlight... started off with a turkey... den a spare.. but downhill from den on.. but i still managed a 165 score.. that's like the highest since secondary school.. the only time i got higher was my record 178... hahaa... kindda lousy.. but i think i was tired lar... if not i would have continued to play again...

went geylang serai to eat roti prata after bowling... met huimin there again... we met her there some time back too went we were there for supper... hahaa.. so "qiao" hahaa... there were some gossips about her and her boyfriend... haha..

came home after that.. and now i gotta go PACK!!!!!!!!!!

just got back home only... went out with my BOC mates just now... went pub with them at serangoon garden... had some jim bean initially but i turn to coke very soon cos i was driving... play alot of drinking games very fun.. very high.. hahaa.. think i'll really miss those days... BOC is very family-like... brother and sisters... my reservist is over for now... next one shld be atleast 5 yrs later... yah... just had a great time for the past week... lots of fun and excitment in the exercise... relearnt lots of stuff... all in all, it has been a good week...

yesterday i received a letter from MOE... my application for MOE teaching award was turned down... sobzZ... but i kindda expected it lar... i seldom make it thru interviews... find it hard to sell myself... even though i know that's the way to do things... well.... guess i'll just be an average student afterall...

tml's my last day of reservist liaozZ.. think the next time i'll be back will be at least 4 yrs later... going to defer my ICTs for uni... yah.. the past few days have been exciting, stressful, tiring, and now i'm having a splitting headache... aarrgghhh...

went to toa payoh during lunchtime to watch tj's badminton finals... but the guys and gals teams got into the finals... i tot at least one of them would have won... but both lost... i was there to watch the whole game.. i could only stay till the 2nd game.. din see lisi play... hope she's alrite...

going to taiwan on sunday... hahaa... counting down...

exercise has begun.. a rather slow start to the exercise.. nothing much happening... some cock-ups here and there as usual... felt kindda lost at first... cos very long never do operations liaozZ.. but after awhile quite okay liaozZ... got the hang of things happening... so quite relax... got long breaks in between... played winning eleven... hadnt played that game in years... and i think i'm not bad... quite lucky and scored quite a few goals.. hahaa.. and the newbie(me!!) won.. hahaa.. oh yah... drove to camp today.. quite shiok to be driving in... felt a sense of pride... although it's my mum's car, still feel shiok.. haha..will be driving the rest of the week till mum comes back next mon... i'll be leaving for taiwan on sunday morning... i'll be driving to airport too.. hehee.. shiok ar!!

tml will be 2nd day of exercise... believe the pace will pick up and things will be happening faster... dunno can cope or not... hope can... today's the birthday of one of my old frens... and she stills remembers me.. hahaa.. so happy... i'm the kind who will msg my fren's happy birthday once a year just to remind them i'm still alive... hahaa.. the most disappointing ans will be "who are u?" so sad rite?? but lucky i only kena it once only... but once i replied with my name they know who i am... so i'm still happy.. hehee...

just now went to watch starwars 3 with yanli.. had to recap wat happened in the earlier episodes with her.. so she wun be lost during the show.. she's not exactly a starwars fan u see?? hehee yah... actually this episode may be the most anticipated but it is also the most expected episode... why?? cos we know wat happen before and wat will happen next... is it really that hard to guess wat happens in between?? no rite?? actually i was there more for the action lar.. hahaa.. somemore now is off-peak price... not bad lar.. 3 *** lar... hahaa

there will be briefing in tj tml regarding the taiwan trip... dunno if i can make it there in time or not... depends wat time the exercise end tml... hehee... looking forward to the food in taiwan... haha... left out half shilin market the other time.. this time must make sure we cover everything...

coaching cse has ended... the exam's over... and i PASSED!!! not too well though... if my result wasnt round up i would have failed... yah.. quite heng i guess... hmmm... i'm just glad i din waste my money... yeah!!!!

first day back at PLAB... lots of memories.. the system still as screwed as ever.. but now everyone has a flat-screen monitor.. hahaa.. but seems to be giving new problems.. hahaa... nothing much done.. basically go back see see look look.. realised nothing much has changed and i was away for that long.. hahaa.. most pple who saw me was like.. "wah.. why so fast come back already??" best of all... i realise i still among the youngest ones around in the squadron.. and i'm already NSmen... wat a joke.. hahaa..

yah tml's the exam.... jiayou jiayou jiayou...

coaching cse is coming to a close... wednesday's judgement day.. the final exams... it's not easy to pass... need to get 70% in the theory and 80% in the practical to pass... yah... hope i dun screw up... den tml will be reporting back to PLAB liaozZ.. so fast reservist liaozZ.. whahhaaaa..... ANY SWEAT?? NO SWEAT!! Wello... wello.. wello.... :P

spent the weekend in JB with dear... it was a nice weekend... supposed to celebrate our anniversary there lar... but din really din much of a celebration... but we did have a good time there... went shopping.. bought a few things here and there... ate alot of nice food... and cheap too... yah... really enjoyed ourselves... yah.. guess the best part shld be staying in Pan Pacific.. the room was HUGE.. the TOILET was HUGE-ER!! whahaaa... sadly it was only one night... no money to stay too long anyway... we order room service for supper too.. really nice.. hahaa... haven ordered room service for so so long.. i think room service is really something we must enjoy whenever we stay in a hotel... just makes everything seem so much nicer... hehee...

i now rotting in front of my comp... mum took laptop to work... so i using comp... yah... din noe wat to do today... yesterday was my 5th anniversary with yanli... but it wasnt all that exciting... she's working in the day.. so me rot... den gave tuition... she had pilates after work... so i could only meet her ofter that.. we meet at around 930pm... to go for dinner at toa payoh.. we went to this kuay chap that we like very much.. cheap and nice.. yah.. that was pretty much it liaozZ... dinner was nice lar... but dun think that's enough for a day liddat lor.. went to my house to watch tv for awhile.. den she wants to go home liaozZ... while sending her home.. i just felt sad... just felt the day shld just end liddat... so i suggested to go watch movie... but when we reached cineleisure.. the last show already started and they were already cleaning up... it was only 1230.. i just felt so depressed.... i din know wat to do from den on.... we rot in the car for a long time den finally decided to send her home... felt sad all the way... even though she offered to spend the nite with me... i was really tempted to bring her home immediately, but i knew she would not get a good nite's sleep and would wake up the next day feeling tired... and i really hate to see her feeling tired... when she's tired i just feel so neglected... so alone... yah.. so she went home.. i waited at the carpark for awhile... hoping that she would come back down... but i drove home.. and i still felt sad... i know that she isnt doing anything wrong... maybe i'm just asking for too much...

just now i visited quite a fwe pple's blog... think some of them are actually feeling lost now... why?? cos the vball season is over... while all of them love to p lay vball the passing of the season means no more trainings... time to start studying... for the yr twos... it's bye bye tj.. even if they go for trainings it's unlikely they will get to play for tj again... kindda like withdrawal symptom... haha... they will all get out of it... sad undoubtedly.. but yah.. i believe all of them have grown up a little....

wat a day at toa payoh stadium... it's not tj's day though... yah... they lost 0-3 to ny... it's quite a one-sided affair.... tj was just no match for ny's sheer power... they seemed like the most powerful team ever assembled in ny's history... yah... while tj's blocking was suppose to be their strength but today ny's spikes were just simply out of their reach... yah... basically a one sided affair... not too interesting... whereas the gals finals turn out to be the highlight of this afternoon... jj has won ny against all odds... i believe no one would dare say jj did not deserve to win... they won the game with incredible defending and clever attacks... they have truely won as a team... there's not star player... everyone was a key player... and their cheerleaders... total respect for them... i've never seen a cheerleading crowd more organised as spirited as them.... it's impossible to describe... pple who were there would definitely understand wat i was saying...

went to eat jap food after the games... fung paid i guess... cos i left early.. hahaa... food was cheap lar... nothing much... wonder where they went after that... too bad i gotta attend coaching lesson... today's lesson's on spiking... we were taught wat to pay attention to when we teach ppl how to spike.... impt thing is that we know wat are the points to note... yah... i still need more practise in tossing of balls for the spiker... rather inconsistent...

today was supposed to be a slacking day... only coaching cse at night... but it was just so tiring... feel so drained now... cos gotta try all the different drills... tired tired tired.....

yesterday was a whole day of vball in tj... was there since 3 pluss till almost 8pm.... played set after set... game after game... but i think i'm just lagging behind everyone physically... really seems slow on the court no matter wat i do... maybe it's time to leave the court... but i still yearn for the chance to play in a competition.. not as a reserve but a main player... but that seems to be getting further and further... anyway.. i was really tired after training... by the time i got home... i could only lie on the bed and sleep...

today.. woke up really early... went to guan yin temple to pray with mum... well... i'm still spectical about the way she prays... really abit anyhow one... i think all she's looking for is some place where she could express her wishes and she does really care about the rites... as long as she can say wat she want to whoever wanna listen can liaozZ... hahaa...

today's mummy's day... hahaa.. went to changi village that hotel for buffet lunch... the food there not bad... but variety quite limited... maybe that's why the quality quite good... and their scallops like free one.. really alot... whahaa... eat till very fulll... now still bloated....

only just got home.... very tired... recap on yesterday... i went to play badminton in the afternoon at Kembagan CC... wah!! that CC really looks nice... got 7-11 and a cafe.. with nice cosy cushion seats... shiok... den got alot of activities going on... den upstairs got cooking lar.. singing lessons lar... den the gym has a tv to almost every treadmill and stationary bike... shiok rite?? that's a CC in a rich ppl's district.. everything just seems nicer den usual...

went back to tj after badminton... for training... quite surprised to see miss teo there.. yah.. she's there to help fung pick out the teams problem and improve as much as possible... yah.. and she did that quite successfully in the sense she really picked out a lot of problems... hahaa... she looks a little dumbfounded... yah... i left early cos i was really tired... so did really hear wat she said to them... guess shld help more or less lar.. haha

i woke up today with my whole body aching... yah... still aching now... went for MOE interview... only today den i know they were only considering me for the MOE teaching award... not the scholarship... hahaa... but nvm.. as long as they pay my school fees i happy liaozZ...interview by principal of NYJC and TKGS... and another MOE official... a bunch of scary women... they keep asking me to change to a degree with pure teaching subjects.. that means like study maths of science... i dunno why but i really against that idea... but now i'm glad i did that... studying pure will be boring more me i guess... and it will be harder to convince students to like a subject if u only study the academic aspect of it.. whereas engineering is the actual application of the subject... hahaa... think i haven screwed it up as bad as the USP one... we shall see...

coaching lessons are also tiring... today's service and tossing of balls.... actually very hard... i just cant to serve properly there... and my tossing of balls like super inaccurate and inconsistent.... need to have more practice... shall do it tml in tj...

nitezZ....

had coaching training today... all the way at presbyterian high school.. i think i like that school... it looks nice den any school i've been too... but i dunno abt the ppl there... anyway.. i was late hahaa... step into the class halfway thru the lesson... they were into the theories of coaching... firstly... what is volleyball? is a sport some rich american came up with in the late 1800s... yah.. den it went to canada.. den to japan 1908.... den to china in 1910... yah stuff liddat... and it seems volleyball used to be played with 10 pple.. and the ball was actually the inner lining of a basketball... makes it sounds a bit 2nd class rite?? yah...

den it comes to being a coach... wat is a coach? why be a coach? well... a coach is a teacher... and it's not just about the skills... it's a about the mental development, the physical development and the teamwork... yah... suddenly it seems like a lot of work... gotta read up a lot on the game, the psychology, the biomechanics... that's pretty much the theory part...

practical seems abit like a training session... how to organise a training... how shld training develop... yah stuff liddat... but i think i was kindda left out.. cos i din know anyone there... perhaps there was an intro session that i missed... but... yah... there were 3 grps of ppl... teachers, saf regs, players... i din know any of the players... and they keep to their clique... it was kindda hard for me to to mix also... that the most sianzZ part... hope friday will be better...

i just woke up a while ago and i'm going to go back to sleep very soon after i finish this blog.. i was really tired today... din sleep last nite was on the computer the whole time... playing game... then in the morning jio lisi go Klunch... very cheap only $5 sang from 11 to 2pm 2 of us only... cos no one else wanna go.... sing until seh... no more voice... but i still think it's quite worth it lot.. yah... tiring part 1... now...

after ktv.. i sent lisi home... den went to meet kaiyu & tenghui at bedok interchange.. cos we going to buy stuff for matt's stewardess fren to bring some stuff over for him.. we bought chicken rice paste... laksa paste... den many others.... den best of all... we bought a huge packet of fresh chillis... garlic & ginger... and a packet of chilli padi.... den off we went to kaiyu's house to make chilli... and i must confess... it's really really hot.... but still tastes good.. whahaa... another new dish on my menu... homemade hainanese chilli...

after that i sent tenghui home den i went to grandma's place for dinner... it's quite adangerous drive home.. cos i was getting sleepy... almost fell asleep at the junction... so in the end i wind down the windows and kept awake with the wind in my face... always works... suppose to have tuition one... but that jiaqin say wed & fri instead... pissed... but too tired to argue... so let it go.... den realise tml got coaching cse....

tired... tired tired..............................
