Mar Holidays
How i spent this short 1-week break?
8 Mar (sat)
had p4 asp PTC at 8.30am, found out tt 8 out of 13 parents would be coming but not sure after seeing their form teachers n other subject teachers, would they drop in n see me? not bad, 6 came eventually. by right, shld hv 1 more but i think he cant afford to wait while i was talking to a long-winded parent who's proud tt her son has improved a lot but he's still failing. she felt tt she could coach him in other subjects when she saw him improve in CL. shouldnt be the case as every subject is just as impt. hmm well, meeting ended late at 1230pm. wanted to leave but found my bicycle chain came off again! :( this bicycle really dont like me, gives me so much prob.
in the late afternn, went hiking from macritchie to bukit timah. bus journey was long, reached there already close to 5pm. we finished by 7+, got chased out by the BT workers. they r already closing.

Kayaking 16-17 Feb 2008
My school PE dept jio-ed people to join kayaking 1-star course held by moe. had always wanted to learn kayaking long ago but didnt have a chance. still rem the gd old times in sec school when i went canoeing in twin canoe with classmate.
felt very excited. course started at 9am and end at 3pm for both days. lobang colleague's car... first day, learn to capsize, hv to tap the kayak 2 times after overturn and then get out automatically. i had a hard time trying to capsize, had to do so with the help of 2 colleagues to help me overturn ;p after lunch break, learn to kayak, each one of us took one. wanted to try out the more difficult one, long and narrow one, called the deck but only left with 1 so i take the broader and shorter one, called the dolphin. the latter is more stable and is used by students. soon, i felt seasick, kept yawning. i tried to look far and don focus. upon reaching home, i vomitted.
2nd day, we went on expedition to changi sailing club. i kayaked very slowly so the instuctor kept pushing me to kayak faster, pulled the water with more strength and dipped the paddle deeper into the sea. felt a bit sick when his motor-boat came nearer. vomitted n felt better... seeing tt, the instructor used his motor boat to send me back to shore. we had a rest there, followed by early lunch at abt 11am. set off at 1145am and were told tt i may take the motorboat but i chose not to else spoilt all the fun. once we reached back, tt's all for the kayaking course. ended early at abt 1pm and took group photo.
fun but rather tedious carrying the kayak and emptying the water in kayak, cos its heavy plus my seasickness.

Shocked, eventful mths
End Oct to Nov is eventful months for me. experienced heartpain, insomnia etc cos dad was seriously ill. called ambulance to send him to ttsh on 26 oct 11 plus and mum and i went home at 4am next day. i couldnt sleep the whole day, worrying and praying for dad. he was hospitalised for 11 days. we went to visit him every evening aft wk. was surprised he could be discharged that day cos on the eve, nurse still told me not so soon. applied upa to pick up dad.
busy weeks with marking of scripts at same time...
Near accident on 19 nov
nearly got knocked down by van as i cycled across the road at junction near hg point. green light is just blinking and i cycled. at same time, a van on my right is turning towards my direction without stopping! i realised the van brushed against the side and basket of my bicycle. i braked and fell on road, just felt pain on my right palm. the driver stopped and got down immediately, wanting to send me to hospital but i refused cos i wasnt hurt badly, just some bruises. he kept asking and i said i needed to go sch for meeting (staff seminar for 1st day of fortnight workplan). Another passer-by helped me too. the cap of my water bottle broke badly and my belongings were flying all over the road. Bicycle seat was distorted but i din realise that the bicycle chain came out cos they helped me to inspect the bike for any damages. so i let the driver go off. tried to push my bike over the road and i realised chain came out. tried to repair but was futile. my hands were blackish, time was running out so i just parked my bike at bus stop. walked to sch with xue juan, happened to meet her while i tried to repair my bike.
had a shock but it was indeed a narrow escape!
