Sports Fave

I am not a sporty person but I do enjoy watching sports games especially Badminton, Table Tennis and Diving. This is one of my favourite player - Pornsak.

I like players who are calm and composed and not those who yelled and ohmmmped when they won a point (aka aggressive). I read that Pornsak is a lawyer by training...wow, envy - wen wu shuang quan.
I am quite poor in my motor/coordination skills ...that explains why I am not good at sports. It doesn't really matter now cos at 40, I can't afford to be playing competitive games as we are now more prone to injuries. My knee cap is still 'recuperating', I think thou I can now walk as fast as I used to be ...the last 5 weeks were miserable as I cannot run/walk ...
Anyway, I am lazing at home today to watch the Asian Games matches....

D&D

I attended MOE D&D yest with my office colleagues. Theme was Masquerette...and some people who attended really dolled up and some actually went to rent victorian costumes etc...which costed them over $100. I didn't do so and won't bother to do so. I guess I am not the sort who is also 'sporting' or rather 'stupid' to spend the money...haha
Anyway, lucky me won $40 NTUC vouchers as the 54th prize.
Actually, there is a dance segment at the end of D&D ...which I really 'missed' - I always love dance hits...it really perks me up!

Straight As

It is one of those sleepless nights where I wonder ...
I know it is certainly not true that 'well-performing' pupils have 'very educated' parents. Some may argue that the parents have garnered merits in their previous lives. Some may say that their parents have 'grilled' them well. Some pupils are simply very motivated or very intelligent.
I am not comparing with others. Have I been too laxed with my kids (or didn't supervise enough) so much so that they have 'played too much'? or they are simply not academically-inclined as much as I wish they are (a little more). I know I can't expect that they are outright smart or clever or do superbly well...but at least, the 'minimal mark'.

Responsibility

Every job comes with responsibilities. Varying thou.
Mine is somewhat heavy. I felt. In my over 10 years of career. Why?
Cos I am responsible for more than 2000 lives.
I am awake at 6+am on a PH cos, a group of teachers and pupils are returning after a 7-day trip to China. I am the key liaison here. Have been praying that things go well etc...which is certainly beyond my control, attending to parents' concerns (not much this round, luckily) etc....
I am not sure if this is what I want to do moving forward ...cos, a lot of things can be beyond our control and these days, things do happen and people are less forgiving for 'mistakes made'. Every year, I need to worry 4 times for overseas trip and everyday for the day-to-day running.
I know I am tired but I may / likely to stay on for another year cos next year is not a good year for me and I should lie low. But for sure, I am well-supported by my colleagues thou.

Let me smile.

Din know there is such a nice song. I know I need to smile more.

41

I have just turned 41 (clap clap..haha). And it is sad that nobody wishes me well ...cos had a bad tiff. So, I foresee that tomorrow will be a 'quiet' day for me...it doesn't matter really cos somehow, I have no mood to 'celebrate' as I age.

Rich Enuf

I was at PASSION yesterday. Guess thatz the price I pay to hopefully light up a hope.dream. Anyway, I was told of a dazing/cute guy whom the staff there went 'gaga' over. And I understand that he works for his uncle who is the boss of Shangrila Hotel. Wow, envy. If only my uncle is willing to let me work with them? Ha.
He visits the hair salon every fortnight and every haircut service, I understand costs close to $90....wow, if only I have that kind of money to spend. I am not born with a silver spoon in my mouth.

Hair Cut

I finally went for my complimentary hair cut at PASSION yesterday ....wow, the name itself thrills me. Will I get to meet some celebrities there? No. I didn't. The hairstylist was very nice to me, thou it is complimentary (cos I was handpicked by the boss...) anyway, I decide to pay a sum to get my hair treated and coloured. It certainly costs a bomb but I am pleased with it thou nobody (wifey nor family) noticed ....haha
I am unlikely to visit it in the next 3-6 months ...and probably twice a year ? I hope someday, maybe, some kind soul there will make my dream come true!

Those Days

Finally, found time to watch this army docu/drama on youtube.
I can still those days when I was first enlisted and those days that followed...
Dun think it is of any interest to my readers thou...
all i can say is that looking back ...the times were tough but it is over but seriously i dun think i will want to go back time to experience it again.

Small Steps

While we know that we dun want to live our lives in vain, we should know our limits as we pursue our dreams. I am now taking small steps forward to do what I always wanted to ... before the time comes when I no longer have the energy to do it anymore.
