Last Friday, had a chat with a PE teacher who suddenly asked me if I really want to take on this path as a teacher. He was telling me how this is like The Army, experience counts for nothing, only the degree does. A 50 year-old WO will still be under a 30 year-old LTC because of qualifications. The higher HQ will not see your effort in doing the morally right things, they only want to see results. Perhaps that is why students nowadays are so result-oriented, screwed up.
Thanks to that conversation though, I'm reconsidering taking a sports science related degree and going out to work before becoming a teacher. In fact, I may well be going for a Diploma in Physiotherapy, then a degree or masters overseas! Honestly, this friend of mine know me for barely 2 weeks and he is teaching me stuff like a big brother, telling me the inside story of this job, his personal issues and giving his advice. It is clear, either I take the short and sweet path of going NIE through contract teaching, or the 1 I mention above. Money is a concern, my results probably not good enough to get scholarships too. Shall make a decision by October.
Very fulfilling weekends, dinner with SK & co. on Friday night, 2D1N buffet with 37th EXCO(essentially) on Saturday night, classic breakfast on Sunday morning and spectacular F1 Race at night! I can't believe how good life my uncles are. 2 of them driving BMW and Mercs, the other 1 is a big shot in the police force. Apparently he has lots of connections and his friend actually gave him 4 F1 tickets worth $548 each, that's a staggering $2196!!! I can only conclude that it is someone trying to pull strings too... Went with my grandpa and we left just halfway into the event, so wasted!
Too much to say, but not in the correct mood. I know I made the right decisions and I will continue making them.
P.S.: It's my life

Choices
3 years ago I made the wrong choice for the courses I applied. Trying to correct my mistake with every little step I am taking.
3 years down, I made a right choice. It is my problem not yours, it is unfair. I am sorry. Thank you the 1 up there, for giving me another chance, now I know even I couldn't do it.
P.S.:Goodbye=))

This is my September
When I went for my interview last Thursday and the interviewer asked if I would take up a relief job immediately I thought that was part of the interview. Turns out he is the principal of Poh Ching School and really invited me for relief teaching there! Thanks to Michelle for giving me that luck(she claims). PCS is a SAP school but the discipline here is like "~!@#$%^&*()_+". 2 words to describe them, yao2 xiu3. They are lucky we can't ask students to stand for the whole lesson though it is just 30mins! Bloody suckers, especially the P1 boys, I hope their karma comes soon. Anyway I really need to think of a way to deal with these little rascals, can't get my lessons going. PE with them is the solution for insomnia, freaking slept before 10pm on yesterday and woke up at 9am today! Now that I'm teaching, lesser time to think about 有的没的, whole day thinking what games to play for PE... How to keep these buggers quiet... So for now, I'm learning things the hard way with no mentor but I shall be thick skin a bit and ask for help. Tomorrow will be a better day=)) Jem Yeo, you still owe me a date!!!
P.S.: Life is incomplete without goals, that's why I love soccer!

Sorry is still all i can say
Nose having abrasion from all the tissues stuffed. Cards after cards, letters after letters. Mistakes aplenty but what I can't forgive myself is making you J, intentional or not. How selfish that I always demanded to be the special one in your post but yet you were not the one I was referring to in my post? Really so not worthy of you, thank you for still willing to be so nice to me. I am sorry.
原來我比自己想像中地要烂很多.

I have awaken
I woke up before September ends because MOE has gotten back to me and scheduled me for an interview this thursday. Feeling pretty confident about it,after all i'm always condfident of myself in terms of looks and capabilities=p I may sound a little arrogant but i know i'm smarter than majority of my peers. I didn't do justice to myself in A's with too much time spent on relationship and soccer. If i had studied as hard as during O's,i would have gotten B's for my sciences to say the least. To illustrate my life in football terms, i find great similarity with Klass Jan Huntelaar. Just like me, he made the wrong choice of joining Real Madrid at the peak of his career instead of joining Manchester United/Arsenal, with me choosing relationship and soccer over studies. Getting too carried away with my O's, i thought i could manage 1 of Houdini's greatest escape from the wrath of Cambridge, i was wrong. My priorities were all wrong - girlfriend, soccer, gaming, gatherings... I like to believe that all BAD things will come to an end! That's why now is the time for me to bounce back. Yes, i have lost more time compared to my peers but all roads lead to Rome. I may have taken the longer road but i have seen something different that i will use to my advantage one day. Yes, i didn't take the "perfect/designated" path but nothing is perfect, i shall learn to create a new path for others to follow, the way of a leader. I live my life. So let my journey as a teacher begins! Ya-Ha!
I have yet to discover the chemistry and passion between us. Only time will tell how much you truly mean to me
P.S.: Never stop smiling because, you never know who is falling in love with your smile=))
