First day of Referee Course and the rest of the day

First day of course, late... So embarassing. Not my fault ok? I was on time... Anyway, lucky for us, we weren't the lastest ones. Gotta be more punctual next lesson.

Started off with tons of theories, rules and regulations. Enough for us to study through the week. The second half of the lesson was practical stuff. There are handsigns and korean commands to pick up. We had to learn when to use the handsigns and commands. We made mistakes like facing wrong directions, wrong commands and the suddenly-don't-know-what-to-do reactions. So messy. Better to make mistakes in class and learn than to make them on actual tournaments.
Near the end of class, we were taught the correct pronounciation of the koreans commands and terms we will be using. Made us tongue-tied. :p Interesting though. New language learnt. We will e having theory and practical exam at end of course. I'm so nervous about it. What if I panic and make mistakes? The 'best' part is that after the test, we all will have to referee a real tournament due in late June. OMG!!! Then, we can pass and considered to be a qualified referee and will get our certificates. I'm scared.. :p No confidence...

Class ended around 3.30pm. Had some time to spare before the evening class. Went to Snake's house to play mahjong only to find his parents and siblings playing. All took a short nap and took over the mahjong game later in the evening. Went to class and had plenty of sparring going on. I didn't join in the sparring. Was helping to guide the kids and the two kids going for tournament in June. Maybe next lesson then I'll join the sparring? Haven't been doign sparring for ages. Rusty like nail.

2.30am: I'm still not asleep. Hair's still damp. Getting heavy eyes... *Yawnz* (~.-)

Reckless Train operator!

Mao and I were waiting for train back home at Bishan yesterday. The train arrived with quite a crowd in it. The door opened and people alighted. We stood at the side of the door to let the people alight first. The "door closing alarm sounded" and people are still pouring out of the train slowly ignoring the alarm. Suddenly, the doors closed. One girl was halfway out of the door. She was almost clamped by the doors. Luckily, she managed to pull herself back into the train. I was quite shocked. There are still people coming out of the train, and people like me still waiting to go into the train. Do these people who had alighted had to stroll to the escalator? If they have walk a bit faster, maybe the girl can have gotten off the train in time. (But then, I'll still miss the train) How can the doors just closed like that and drove off? I was still standing near the train. Can the train operator make an effort to check if the doors are clear before he closed and drove off? What if the girl was clamped by the door? Wouldn't she be drag all the way through? What if someone bumped into me and I bumped against the train side? Wouldn't I be throw off balance and get hurt by the leaving train?

What the hell is wrong with these people? Accidents don't just happen because God plans them. It's because of reckless and careless people.

Moral of the story? Run out of the train when it's your stop just in case the doors close. If your couldn't get out becasue of this same similar situation? Go to the first cabin and visit the train operator. I'm sure he/she will be 'very pleased' to hear your feedbacks.

Freaking train operator.. Made me wait for next train... Bloody waste my time.. Makes my blood boils...

Who is strolling down the aisle?

No. Not me. Not yet. I'm more like strolling around the aisle, not down the aisle. As I was browsing through my friends' photos in Friendster. I realised, "Married" is popping up more and fast. Sometime ago, I'll dream of my own big day. Sometime later. No more dreaming of that.

It will just be studies, work and life. no. No relationships. There should be not room for them.

Anyway, let's ditch that topic. It's not related to me and my life now.

Actually, I rarely club. It's like a luxurious activity for me. Wasteful Maybe because I was just a poor student and had no close friends to club with. The day I changed to this job was also the day I changed the way of living life. It's seems so different. There's more afterwork activities, more weekend funs, gatherings, clubbings, etc.
So different now. I'm glad for the change. It's for the better not the worst.

Suddenly, mood swing kicks in...

Close the Pandora's box please

~*~ Guys must have flee out from Pandora's box with the evils. Nothing but trouble. Ha. ~*~

Pandora's box. Legend said it contains all the evils of mankind. Pandora was created to punish mankind. She, out of curiosity, opened the box, releasing all the evils. Realising what she has done, she closed the box. Something precious didn't manage to get out in time. Hope. Hope should have come out along.

People had to held onto Hope, for miracles, for health, for wealth and for many other things.

Hope is very precious. Without Hope, there is no life. Well, for myself. I felt that way. Hopes for a better future, better life, better world and better everything else. People shoudl try to keep positive.

I sneaked into Pandora's house and spoke to Hope. Hope says she's trying to sneak out. Today, she told me she should be able to sneak out in July. I'm estatic!

Hope is coming in July! I'm so looking forward to July. Yeah~

Hmm... About the starting sentence... Why are guys troublesome? Wasn't it always the girls who are troublesome? We are. But guys are too. Especially nowadays. Guys are becoming fussy, fickle-minded, ungentle, insensitive and lots more. 10months of living in the singlehood kingdom. Feels good. A mild yearning for affections and care. But I'm not leaving this pretty little kingdom. Just not yet. There's no nice male elf around. So I'm not leaving yet.

Anyway, dumping that troublesome topic. It's bedtime...

Time to sleep I guess...

Girls and their accessories

An afternoon of 'modelling' at home, I understand why girls always need to have tons of shoes and clothes. Everything have to have something matching, compatible. A top to match the bottom, a dress to match the shoes, earrings to match the bag, etc...

Why do girls like to dress up so much? I have no idea. Hmm... But I do know that it feels good to be pretty. When people start admiring you the self confidence goes up. Eh.. But not those dirty old men who stared and mentally undressing you. Sick freaks.

It's easy to earn a girl's $. There's never too many shoes, clothes and accessories. The more the merrier. Guys don't complain. You like to see pretty things don't you? Everyone loves to see pretty things. Who would wanna see ugly things? Maybe sick freaks...

~My objective for my short trip in July will be buy as much as possible with minimum $ spent. As always.~

5th May 2007 - The gathering with 'hidden' agenda.

The gathering almost didn't happen. Why? Well, apparently there were quite a lot of aeroplanes flying past on that day. I thought my birthday is coming. Don't get it? My birthday falls on a day where planes will streak the skies. Anyway, luckily, things turn out ok. The gathering survived. I was so worried that everyone wouldn't have fun. I guessed I overly worried. Everyone seems to have their share of fun.

Singing at KTV was a different experience this time round. Usually, it would be just Chinese and Cantonese songs, maybe a little bit of English. This time we have lots of English, Chinese, Japanese, a little bit of Korean(well, someone did try) and little bit of Cantonese(I tried). It was fun though. But then I don't know it is the atmosphere or the mood of the songs. People start to get bored/tired/restless. Luckily, it's just a part of the itinerary for the day.
Dinner happened quickly. Everyone were hungry. Ate cheerfully.

After dinner, we went to Marina Sq. I thought we would be having desserts and coffee somewhere there. There was a change of plan. We brought the Birthday Boy to buy a birthday cake of his choice. We went over to Bullpen where everyone gathered. Birthday cake, Birthday Song, Birthday boy. I'm sure he's pretty happy. He said he haven't been celebrating birthdays for quite a while. It's good to know someone is happy and appreciated efforts put into making things happen.

Talking about being appreciated for efforts. It's upsetting. Someone else actually initiated the gathering and somehow I took on the role of the organiser. Which is fine with me because I do like to gather people and organise gatherings. I love gatherings. So, efforts was put into planning the day, time, venue, activities and people to gather. I can't say it's a major gathering or what. Just that, I took time to think and organise so that the people I intend to gather can all make it. Somehow, along the way, some people just disappeared. Promised made but not kept. Cuteger was upset about it and almost didn't wanna come too. Luckily, for me, she kept her promise. I'm so glad she came. Really my friend who appreciates my efforts and kept promises. The guys were all sporty. I'm glad I didn't cancel the gathering.

I'll do more gatherings still despite having fear that things don't turn out the way I planned. I'll just be more careful about who to gather along. Cuteger, Mr Exotic, Mr Potter, Mr Sporty and Mr Stylist, Mr 'Beng' are definitely on my list. Bunch of nice people to hangout with.
Yeah~

Looking back, life is so different now. Things are falling in place neatly. Working a more decently paid and good experience gained job, completing and starting on new course of study, decent social life, fair amount of Taekwondo. I guessed life has never been so proper and fulfilling. One of the best parts is, I made some great friends along the way.
Cuterger: Known her for a year more and counting. Pretty, smart, adorable ger. A frend, a sister, a colleauge.
Mr Stylist: Hmm... Know him for a year or so and counting. Clicked right away easily. I guessed probably there wasn't any age gap. He's just a day older than me. Like Cuteger, he's a frend, a 'sister'(because of some incident, Cuterger called him 'Jie'. No, he's not a gay.). The days working together... It's a memory to be kept.
Well, for Mr Potter and Mr Exotic I didn't really get to know them more until recently. They are both great people to be with. It's the same for Mr 'Beng' and Mr Sporty.

It's gonna be a wonderful year, well, half year I guessed. It's almost mid-year now.
WOW! Look at the time! Time to sleep!

~*~God, Give me a Reason to wake up every day.~*~
