this week was pretty interesting. a number of events happened, haha. went down for canoeing training on monday with the rest of the guys disguised as a lonely and weak J1. haha. had a good time confusing them, (cause i swapped names with yiren) yuppp. it was pretty slack, guess cos they didn't wanna scare all of em away. did lyk 50 push ups, ran 1.6km, did 15 chin ups and a small circuits. went out for dinner with the grandseniors, and guess what, 2 xiao long paus is all it takes to fill me, cause by the time i reached home, i couldn't eat anymore already.
tues was the day which killed me. haha. played lyk around 3 plus hrs of badminton with hazel and tim, only to experience the preview of the ache i was gonna feel for the next 5 days shortly after.
wednesday came, i woke to the phonecall of Henderson Secondary School with such a bad body ache i couldn't even walk properly. the butt muscle(glueteus maximus) hurt soo soo soo badly. go think abt the number of movements which requires it. haha. they called to ask me to relief teach cos one of the staff was on MC. yupp. they called at approx 7:25am, and they needed me to report to school at 7:45 am, i was lyk "nuts, how to reach in time ?"anyway. i eventually did cos of the goodwill of my mum, who offered to drive me there. first class of the day was a double science class with a sec 1s. had to teach em how to draw apparatus found in the lab. my hand was shakin so badly i couldn't even draw a straight line without a ruler. haha. luckily i survived through it. next was another science class, this time with a sec 2 NA class. they were rowdy, but eventually settled down to work. my guess is that they require alot of attention. it's not that they are not capable of doin their work, but rather they tend to lose focus after a short period of time, too playful. next was another class, sec 2 normal tech. had to teach em english. what made it worst was that the english HOD gave the wrong work for me to assign to em. i was lyk "huh? there ain't no comprehension in the first chapter wad!! how how how ?" *panick* but caught hold of my head in the end and took out some random work and gave it to them. haha.
3 periods of break was to follow. didn't manage to get any rest. instead, i headed for the library to read up a bit and to do the research as to what to teach the last class which happened to be sec 4 chemistry. thank God all went well, and the students in that class were generally cooperative. school was finally off for me. i headed back home to wash up before headin off to canoeing training. went down with the other grandseniors, was interesting to watch em "suffer", to recall that we were once like that too. had a great dinner, with everyone at adam road hawker centre. had nasi lemak and muttabak and teh ping. felt terrible and ached like mad by the time i reached home. used the massager thingy till i fell asleep. haha.
thursday came and this time i woke up to the voice of hazel's. haha. she was like," may i speak to Mr. Kiew Hengyi?" i panicked cos i thought i was late for some appointment or smth. haha. anyway. it was to ask me if i was goin down to sch to play badminton again. which i kindly refused. time passed and somehow i ended up readin Jess's "great expectations" while waitin for suhaile and tri. was interesting to read something written in traditional english.
friday was weird. haha. after the job interview, which turned out to be some mass marketing recruitment drive thingy, i met up with DRAGON at raffles place only to head for dohby ghaut BY FOOT. yes. by foot. we took like an hour plus to reach there. ahah. yanny's leg was about to break off alr. haha. evelyn's too. dinner was good except everyone wasn't as hyper as before. walked ard for a bit and eventually went home to attend to my aching muscles. haha.
and finally today! as usual, i woke up late and to my horror it was already 9:47, cause i thought welcome tea with the J1s started at 10:00 and i didn't wanna miss any part of it. luckily bro sent me there and i found out, eventually, that the alumni were practicing seperately, sighed with relieve, lucky to have not missed anything. afternoon was good, after i said " what's the plann???" lyk repeatedly cos everyone were lyk sitting around doin nothing. dinner was great too, had a sudden craving for sambal mussels and stingray. the chilli gravy was sooo good i added soo much to my rice tilll the my rice was like swimmin in it =) yum yum.. tomorrow's gonna be granny's birthday dinner. pretty excited cause i haven't seen everyone in ages . yupp. and i'm gonna stretch those muscles of mine abit more..
P.S: hazel please watch out for cars.
take care everyone =)
