Relieved

Had to teach on Saturday. Quite sure many of u didn't know. I got myself worried from Friday afternoon at 4 plus onwards till i finally taught the lesson finish. Was not exactly worrying all that time but was worried all right. I prepared what i could and prayed for God to guide me. Saturday came. My, was i nervous. Had to keep calming myself down periodically. I think i was too nervous that it was impossible for me to hide it. But i kept my focus away from it and instead focused on the lesson. I managed to teach what i wanted at it ended at 11:50. I was thinking it was early but just had to close. Cos better to end then to bore them.( cos not the right way) I was obviously relieved that my job was done but at the same time felt a sense of disappointment in not doing well. But i reasoned it was average and since it was my first try I just accepted it and told myself to try better next time. Later when i asked, i found out that the students liked my teaching after all. Of course i was all smiles. Thanks alot(U know who u are) So i have overcome my hurdle (:

Was looking at the live commentary as i posted this. The Liverpool vs man city match. Here is the stats. For the shots(On goal), Liverpool 23(3) and Man city 10(3). Oh yea the match ended 1-1. Nooooo. So Man U is now 7 pts ahead of Liverpool. Don't feel like blogging more about this.

Lots of different things to do

How to teach i wonder. Well got to pull it off somehow tmr. Got to go finish up lots of undone stuff as well. I'll pull thru all this somehow. I had lots of stuff to say during the past week but did not find the time to blog. Well can't rmb quite alot of stuff already. Well just to say of some i remember. I have heard more haste makes less speed and to play fast is really to play slow. U might be wondering what i mean. But i don't think it needs explanation. It needs to be tried out to know. And so I feel then a practical experience is much more powerful then the best speech u could hear. Anyway i have not managed the temptation not to play. Too long never play hands itchy. Anyway next week i know i can do whatever i want(almost to that extent). For now i think i should stop blogging and do the work i have to do. Ciao.

First Cycling Trip in a Long Time

Went cycling today with my best friend (: Well we went to the Tampines cycling trail. It was thrilling and fun indeed. Our total time cycling was only one and a half hours though cos i had some work to do and he had to go off as well. Anyway my fitness levels is much lower then last time i believe due to much inactivity during the past months by studying/working. Well come end of Feb i will go outdoors more and likely under the sun as well. I have at least 6 weeks to thoroughly enjoy myself. The working so far was worth it as i have learnt a lot from it. Freedom is near. Well i have indeed enjoyed my time during the hol working(got relax oso) and its time to move on to fun, fun, fun!!! Not quite yet.. As soon as i am done with the work that is. Got deadline oso but finish earlier the better. There is a saying which goes "Work first, play later" or is it just what the adults tell us? I am sorry for not posting for so long and yesterday which i said i would. I will try to post on alternate days and at least twice a week.

Friday the 13th

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday_the_13th. This is the link about the superstition behind Friday the 13th. According to it we have 3 Friday the 13th this year. That is the max number of Friday 13ths a year. Oh yea about my exercise i have only done it once and oh my, i am weak. I changed my reasoning. Becoming stronger is one of the primary reasons why i want to exercise as well. Finally got my Chopin etudes book. Actually it has both Chopin Etudes and Preludes. This amounts to slightly over 50 songs in the book. And it only cost $24 I feel its quite a reasonable price indeed. Got to learn the Chopin etudes in order that's what my piano teacher says. So can't learn my favourite ones first. Well of course i have to follow what he says. But i am not doing this out of no choice as i said b4. I understand the reason thus i follow the method. Tmr is Valentine's Day. Oh lets see i can hardly rmb many significant Valentine's Day like at least 1 or 2. Dun sad ok cos i dun give pple Valentine day present 1. I have been sleeping at 1 or 2 plus the last 4 or so days. Personally, i rather sleep earlier like at 11 or 12 plus. But staying up late also got some advantages. Well those are not really important compared to sleeping earlier. So I'll like try to sleep earlier.

Same course as me

Wah shock man. On Sunday was chatting with my friend on msn then i asked him which course he got into. He told me he got into clean energy at SP. I thought he was pulling my leg... Such a coincidence lor. Anyway he was serious so yea i now have a friend who is in the same course as me :) Its gonna be fun. At least i got someone i know in the same course. Things look pretty bright even though many have questioned my decision to go to SP instead of TP. Yesterday was a record number of unfamiliar people i talked to as well as friends. I think i talked to 13 different people. Could have been more though cos i skipped talking to some pple i would if not for the newcomers. I talked to say 5 pple i did not have their msn address nor contact no. Talked to them thru facebook lor then got their e-mails. Feeling rather privileged again to be having hol. Well i got to rmb to do some kind of exercises if not i will remain very weak. Anyway my motive for exercise is not really to get strong but to keep fit and healthy. Of course i would be lying though if i said i did not want to become stronger but that is one of the reasons though not the primary reason.

A wrong assumption

Dunno if u rmb what i said about the beggar btwn the interchange and the Library. Well he's still there. Man, i was shocked when i saw him today. This time he did ask me to buy a packet of tissues. Yes for $2. That's absurd. I feel that when one begs he should not sell stuff. But rather just let pple donate. I dun think he really managed to sell much as i could see he had quite a lot of tissue packets left. I have made a wrong assumption in presuming that he would be chased away and that i would never see him again. 3 weeks ago i saw him and there he is again today. Looks like what i speculated about the pple making phone calls to the police were too far fetched. Well he is still raising funds for the student project. Moving on, i was actually rushing my way to the Library and back. When i was queueing up to borrow my books i was taken aback when i saw a familiar face turn around and walked past me. She said my name in an inquiring tone. i turned around and saw my history classmate. I just waved and just so did she. She was with another guy presumably her bf. Doesn't matter anyway. I managed to reach home within an hour although i could have been faster. Feeling kinda tired for being in such a hurry all to come back fast in record time. Well gtg wash dishes b4 my parents come back. Byez.

I made a mistake

zzz. Noooo, i made a mistake. I wasted 12 CDs cos i burn them in wrong format. This sucks. i got to be more careful such as rmb to return my library books tmr as it is the due date. How could i be so careless? good thing i found out the mistake b4 i burned all 24 for this set but.. its being too careless on my part. I am indeed lamenting myself for a simple mistake that ought not to have been. Concentration is very impt. But i was or maybe i was doing things on auto mode. Whatever it is its not too late to strive for perfection. I will not let this happen again seriously. It was unexpected. But maybe my father saw this coming as he reminded me to change the format. i feel rather dumb to have had done this. o.0, -.-'''. oh the stupidity of it all. A calamity? a bit extreme. I am growing up into a world where 1 mistake can cos u ur job. Simple mistakes in my opinion cannot be excused for. When 1 grows older more is always expected and thus more responsibilities. Haste makes waste. Pls do not placate me.
