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..

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

Its 2.30am now and i am here blogging.currently waiting for my liverpool game,30mins more to kick off.
7weeks have passed since i last took my last exam in ngee ann and today is the first day of school for those poly students and i am no longer classified under a poly student,i think i am currently called jobless and waiting for enlistment,soon i will become a NSmen and then an undergrad.
A short recall of what is happening during this holiday,swimming instructor course,driving,work,tennis...basically these are the things revolving ard my world now and i am happy that after a few sessions trying to get my serve technique right,i have finally gotten it,serving with power and spin,it would be a powerful weapon for me if i can polish.My next target is to develop a good backhand which i still fail to do despite so many sessions of game,i still struggle between using a single-handed and a double handed,i try to mixed it up during my game but it can be quite confusing as to which to use when the ball is coming at that kind of speed and i need to make a decision on whether to use a single or double backhand to return the ball,sometimes i make the wrong decision and my swing goes very wrong.I hope to move slowly into developing a full double backhand as i think its more stable although not as flexible as single.
These 2days has been horrible for me,i dun even wanna recall how horrible it was,just plain scary.Never in my life i felt my day was spent so horribly and i have actually wasted my time.
Planning to start work after i clear driving and swimming,den i can start to earn some money,hoping to clear everything that i need to clear which includes some housekeeping work in my room.Looking forward to may as all the important dates fall into that month.
Got to start studying soon.Having practical lesson later at night.Stroke technique or breaststroke and butterfly.:)..

2 weeks
2weeks since my last paper
2weeks since i last used a laptop on my table (basically using laptop on my bed!)
2weeks since i last touch (table with all my notes and papers untouch!literally)
2weeks since i last sleep before 1 or 2am
so 2weeks,14days,just passed me and i dunno how many 2weeks i am left with before my enlistment..anyway,i super broke now,2 or 3months since i last recieved a single cent frm ssc becoz i stopped work apparently to spend more time on studies.
A few things to complete and achieve before i enlist and i know not everything will be successfully completed or achieved becoz life would never be so smooth sailing,but we always got to move on with things.
this weekend is gonna be good.going for jam hsiao's concert and there is also F1 and ATP 1000 in indiana wells where all the top players will be playing.!So it can occupy my time while liverpool is not playing this weekend,only playing on monday night,so instead of watching teams tat i dun support,i can switch to other things to watch.
Alright,lastly,if anyone wants to play tennis and is really bored during the holidays.leave a tag on my blog.=)

friday spells the end of my poly life and i'm glad it's over.looking forward to my next phase in life and as usual,life got to go on and we cannot keep looking backwards,but i'm gonna go against this theory for the very first time and prolly would be the last.
I still rmb clearly on my first day my poly life,year 1,day 1,16th April 2007,8am class,CRM.The initial plan was to meet up with some of the boys and then we head to class together.It turn out that we waited for almost all the boys to reach before heading the class and as expected,we were late on our first day of school.BINGO!happen that the lecturer is quite particular abt punctuality and we were all marked late.i dun rmb who i was sitting with but i do know i feel quite lost at that moment,i wasn't quite sure what the lecturer was talking abt and before i knew anything,we had to do a mini group discussion.Brillant!.Class ended early and we headed to explore some places in np and visit the cca fiesta as well.In the afternoon at 1pm,we then had ELS practical,suppose to be a 3hour lesson but lesson ended in abt 30mins.I went to meet ke after class he was at canteen 2,my block is just beside canteen 3.I had no idea how to do to canteen 2 and at that time,ngee ann seems to big,so my usual instincts tell me to look for a map and i did,i found it beside canteen 3,so i rmb and walk along the road to canteen 2.it took my 15mins to reach canteen.By the time i reached,i was sweating like mad becoz i was also carrying my laptop.I sat down,had my lunch and then went out with ke.It was a slacking first day but it was quite memorable and everything seems so new to me,because ngee ann doesnt feel like a school to me as everyone was wearing different clothing so it was quite interesting..
fast forward to my first real test,the common test.The first module i took in ngee ann was Principle of Law.I had no idea how to study and i just study like how i used to in sec sch.So i went in and took the paper and screw it up.First time in my life i got 20something % for the test...but i learned frm mistakes and slowly i found law real easy and i shouldnt screw up my common test.I also got to learn everyone starts to be competitive abt results.I dun experience this in sec sch becoz my frends normally dun really care abt their results.I didnt bother to compare with anyone too but people who wanted to compete or compare results with me usually wont fare better.So i dun feel the sense of competitiveness.But in poly,the environment setting suddenly got me to realise that results seems to be everything.I dun believe results is everything in life and there are some things whereby the process is much valuable than the result but i cant denied we do everything to achieve results,in work or at sch.
fast foward to exams,i cant rmb wad was my feeling back then but i didnt do well for my first semester,i underestimated the standard,till today,i still regret i didnt do as well in my first sem becoz i feel it is very crucial.After the first sem,i made improvements every semester but the gap was too huge to patch. IF application for uni just looks at the result of ur final sem or even ur 5th sem,i tink i stand a very high chance.However,it is culmulative and we really got to be consistent in our studies.Consistent is the key word and my tuition teacher told me this when i was going to poly,he told me to be consistent in my stuides,i dun believe,i thought everything can be done last min,i have done last min studying all my life and i still manage to make it,so wad makes poly different?But now i realise the importance,not just in studies but in sports or work.let me explain.
In elite sports,everyone has more of less the same ability and standards,it is the one tat can consistency produce the brillance that will make it big in the business.Some ppl play well today and screw up the next day.In tennis,top players like federer play well everything and there are plenty of other players that are very talented as well but they cant produce the same quality every match,as a result,they fall.In soccer,big teams like liverpool or chelsea are able to produce results when it is needed and therefore they are the big teams.
So after the first sem,i pick up wadever lessons there is to learn and went on a race to my 2nd,then 3rd,4th,5th,6th semester.i'm glad i learned alot of experience from these 6 semesters,all the lecturers that thought me were great people and i count myself very lucky.I dunno abt other lecturers but my fyp lecturer was Mr Nicholas Mak,not sure who is he?google it.It was such coincidence and we are his pioneer batch of students.i'm glad i learnt alot from him,not just for fyp sake also things on property as well as suggesting to us interesting topics to research on.He even arrange a BBQ at the end of the fyp for all his fyp groups.
The last and final semester of poly life can be sum up as a race. Constantly racing against deadlines, timelines.I zoom pass it and i hope it can act as a springboard if i had to rush against a similar datelines situation in future.
Okay,enough of my poly life.Recently, i got hook onto social tennis,partly becoz supersports which broadcast so many tennis matches and tournaments, i dun watch tennis in the past becoz i always thought it is very long,a normally 3set match can last up to 3hours.A grandslam 5set match can last up to 5hours,the longest was 7hours i tink.So it is very long,but it is still exciting.everything is kept short,u just need 4points to win a game,first to reach 6games and have a 2game advantage over its opponent will win the set.So every game is played at a very fast pace and at the highest level,it is even more exciting to watch than a soccer match.In soccer,when both teams are too strong,they usually cancel each other out and play defensive.In tennis,if u have 2top players playing against each other,they usually have to come up with some individual brillance to win the game and therefore,it makes it exciting.
I'll show u my 2new tennis gears.
the racquet was bought abt a month ago and the shoe was bought just last week.Tennis is a sports that requires constant funding becoz the overgrip has to be changed every 4 or 5sessions.The balls have to be change every 5 or 6sessions.The strings got to be changed once it loses its tension.Unlike soccer when i just need a pair of boots 9 ppl and i'm ready to play anywhere.Those things that i have mention are not very expensive but that add up as a cost for playing,but as long as i enjoy the sports,i dun tink this figures will mean much to me. From a total noob, not to the game but to the technical stuff abt tennis, i now become much clearer about tennis, it is not just a racquet and the guy, it is much more than tat. Tennis today comes with alot of technology and the racquet producers are constantly looking to invest more technology to suit to demand for it.I personally dun believe in technology, i feel the skill is much more important than having a very good racquet,racquet prolly takes up only 20% of the game.So i bought a racquet that is not very expensive but good enough for me to use.what's more,it was voted as the racquet of choice in 2006 by a worldwide magazine,not too lousy and it is good for me.=)....i also now know how to change an overgrip,i was so so noob i dun even know how to change an overgrip and i got to ask someone to change it for me for the first time,but i observed and learn,as a result my second overgrip was changed by me and i tink i did a better job in changing the overgrip.
I'm going to play tennis at andrew's place tmr morning and then learn driving as my test is coming real soon in the month of MARCH. Gotta stop here,going for dinner and hen playing mj later.=DDD

these few days no sch.had driving today in the morning..driving is like a breeze.i counted,today is my 17th driving lesson and i'm going for test soon next month..i have a plan to go for test at my 22nd or 23rd lesson.Time flies and i still rmb the first time when i sit in front of the steering wheel,when i first tried to move a stationary car,i have to use engaged gear with clutch and step on accelerator paddle without removing my clutch,i am always in a hurry to release the clutch and as a result,engine stalls.it happened for a few times when practicing in the carpark.After i hit the road,the same problem occurs and its quite embrassing when the engine stalls in the middle of the main road..i made alot of mistakes too and everytime my instructor will just nag and nag at me.I naggings but however,it works,becoz i tell myself i need to reduce those mistakes every lesson i attend,the less mistakes i make,the lesser nags i get and i can drive peacefully.
As a result,i dun get nags nowadays,driving is as peaceful as ever and i only get instructions on which direction to turn and some tips on how to improve my driving and not naggings anymore.
okay,enough of my driving.Poly life is coming to an end.END!..its been a great 3years,everything i learn,be it life skills or school stuff would be used in the future.its a wonderful experience and i cant wait to move on to the next stage of education,which is university,but first i need to complete my national service.
i have practically just 3hrs of my poly life left!Alex must be punctual for the first time for BIT lesson on thursday.lol.

Australian Tennis Open
The Australian open fever is here!the tournament started last monday with its first round matches getting underway. it is now in 4th round and the quarter final stage and every match is getting more and more exciting..it has official disrupted my life because i got to stay up late to complete things that need to be done becoz i caught the matches earlier on...each match i watch is about 3hours..some goes as long as 4 or 5hours....its much longer than a soccer match...but the joy comes when those players product some magic with this rackets to hit some unexpected and glorious shot...
I watched an epic match between Andy Roddick and Fernando Gonzales ytd.Andy roddick is seeded 7 and gonzales 11.Gonzales started the match brillantly with a few winners and led 2-1 on set after the third set...roddick looks set and destined for defeat until he came up with the magic in the 4th set,game at 6-5 with gonzales serving,gonzales have a lead at 40-0 over roddick and most will think he will wrap up this set and go on to win the tie break and the match,but he made a few mistakes and roddick captialised to win the game...the score is now 2-2 into the final set..
Roddick didnt look back since the 4th set victory and claim the 5th quickly, breaking gonzales serve and winning the set 6-2...roddick wins the match 3 sets - 2.
Just magnificent and as a result, i stayed up till 2am to finish the fyp that needs to be done..so i skip lecture in the morning and went for tutorial.I'm now in a midst of a fyp meeting.
Let's get it over and done with!

future
it has been running in my mind for quite some time.Everytime i wan to seriously think about it,somehow it just slip away becoz there's some sch work or some other things on my mind.There comes a day when i seriously need to sit down and assess the situation and making a right decision,a realistic one, a practical one,one that can feed me and not one that is based on my interest.Sports science is always on my lips whenever ppl ask me what i'm gonna study in future but when i come to tink about it,izzit a viable option?From another angle,sports is growing in singapore with events such as the YOG coming up and also SEA games which will be held in SG.SG is placing more hopes on young talents which also means more job opportunities for sports science students becoz they will need ppl to assess the students ability,help them to achieve their potential,etc.
A few things to think about and nowadays its like a sudden topic whenever u talk to anyone,a topic about the future would be brought up and suddenly it makes u wan to consider seriously about it.Although i always have a few courses that i would like study in future but its not only a matter if i want to study but i need to think about how i would cope with them and what i would face in the course.weigh up the good and bad den make a sound decision.Right after army,its straight to studying.
I'm just about to grad from poly and enter into army but i'm looking forward to uni life and it will be another start in my life.
Enough abt this,this weekend is a hectic one,however,if i survive thru and complete everything that needs to be completed,i might just wake up at the start of the week feeling like a hero becoz the amount of work is just massive...
Anyway, i went to change the grip of my tennis racket at queensway,finally the grip is changed and i am all ready to return to the court.Anyone wans to play pls jio me..its time to beat some opponents.=D
Driving tmr,not playing soccer tmr becoz needa do work.

2010
1st day of 2010.plenty of pleasant and unpleasant events tat happened on this day for the past 19years but of coz pleasant more than unpleasant.
ytd marks the end of 2009,a fulfilling year for me,faced with lots of challenges and of coz i got to experience quite a few events in this year.The most significant being the liverpool friendly match in singapore.It was my first time watching a soccer match at the kallang stadium and it was also the first time i'm watching my team LIVE,the last time they visit singapore it was in 2001 and i was too poor then to buy tickets to watch.I also got to catch National Day 2009.First time catching it on the floating platform and it was phenomenum,just pure awesome to be able to soak intot he entire atmosphere and enjoy that very day. 2009 also marks my 3rd year of poly life which means i will graduate soon and serve the nation,not so much to look forward to serve the nation but rather graduating as soon as possible is just a great feeling and something big to look forward to.
As each year passes,i feel i'm starting to mature,every now and then i get enlightened about something and that pushes me to a higher level and hopefully i can sustain.
2009 also marks a horrible ankle injury that kept me out for 6months from sports,glad that its all over.
Swimming wise,2009 had been a great year.Part time lifeguard,Amard of Merit holder in lifesaving,improving on my swimming skills and stroke.i am looking forward to better things in 2010,Distinction Award in lifesaving,skill test,coaching.
This holidays is a very fulfilling one,its only 2weeks but i caught 3movies going for my 4th movie tonight,went for a 3day 2night chalet at sentosa,went for karaoke session and of coz doing projects.It will be the last holiday that i am going to enjoy in poly life becoz after my exams,its not a holiday anymore,i officially graduate from the school so theres no need for any holidays,i can play all i want till i go army.
Right now,2010 looks bright to me i hope it will be the same for everyone of you out there.Enjoy this very day and bye!
