What a weekend! Tutoring at TAPEC from 10 to 4 yest. My mind totally blanked out when Alvin told me to take the sec 4 pure physics class for awhile. I'm only confident for A levels! Embarassing -.- Didn't manage to stay for the dunman high class though, but they were so happy when I gave them a packet of Poifulli, and Alvin said I was trying to bribe his students, funny. From TAPEC I went straight to AMK to meet ziyu for TKD training (under the legendary Sir Vis, omgod!) Training under Sir Vis was abit tougher the usual standard nowadays, but it was still enjoyable :D Sir Vis is a funny guy. Plus, from past past past past experience i know his training used to be far worst... Ziyu says thats the way to improve, so I'll try it out =) Then then today went to 505 and then windemere to teach. Poom belts at 505 are so... ill disicplined :O At the end of the lesson Sir thomson was talking talking then someone said "Sir got money outside!" and everyone started laughing. For people who know Sir tom you'll know why :D Then Ziyu and I went to windemere to teach. Basically its a poom belt class at windemere (omg). Because we couldn't get the room that we wanted for training so we had to move to the basketball court (where I once played with KM for CHC bball comp) to train. That's when it became apparent that the kids from windemere were very pampered and sheltered! Because they seemed very unused to training in a basketball court but to us (ziyu and I) it was very common. Ziyu was practically jumping for joy because there was so much space to train unlike normal weeks, lol. Had some games after training and it was lots and lots of fun :D Dinner with ziyu was enjoyable. Then home and rest :D

To accept or not to accept the scholarship, that's the question!
"I do not like the way teachers think of children. and where they get these ideas from? proabably from the lecturers.. it's how they are being taught that they would teach.... so it's really dependent on the individual on how they perceive children. how you perceive would determine how you treat your student." Wise words from master ziyu! She's my new idol haha. Everyday I learn something new from her. Can tell she has really deep thoughts, when it comes to children, lesson and teaching... How do I think of children/students? Never really considered it... But I should really consider this before I step into a teaching career :O

TAE-KWON-DO!
Back from a full day of TAE-KWON-DO training! I'm hyper! I'm happy cos today is the first training after the grading. Though I still don't know the results (I hope I pass >.<) , having the grading behind me took a heavy load off my back. I feel so relaxed now =) Training without the stress of grading is different... I get to teach! Taught 2 white belts today. Turning kick 101. They came in a pair, brother and sister. Fun! Then then went to another class and taught 5 kids from ranging from white to yellow belt. They got bored doing their sports syllabus and I got bored looking at their sports syllabus so we ended up doing something more fun. KICK! SLIDE FORWARD! CHANGE! CHANGE! TURNING KICK! FRONT KICK! SLIDE BACKWARD! CHANGE! TURNING KICK! We had fun! Kids sure are cute. Then then went to yet ANOTHER class and.... I was in put charge of all the blue belts! Stress can, its my first time taking such a large class of such a high level. Thank you Sir Kelvin for the experience and help! Though the kids were rowdy, I did my best and I think I did o-kay..? Still have lots to learn, lots to learn. Learnt many many many stuff talking to Ziyu on the way home. She's really experienced and has given lots of thought to teaching. I hope to be like her one day... I wanna teach at windemere!
