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

PASSED!

YES!passed my swimming instructor course!

Tuesday, 20 April 2010

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.:)..
