Sudden Realisation

it suddenly dawned upon me that my blogging style has changed.. the things I write about have become so mundane, and I've become so much more conversational.. nothing much.. just realised and thought I would like to share..

ever wondered how your blogging style has evolved too? and what were the factors that caused the change? kinda interesting, don't you think? =) cheerz!

Mindless Ramblings..

my time-table for now is kinda weird.. have only 2 classes currently and it is really light and I'm not complaing.. it's just that I start lessons after 11 on 3 days and it's weird.. I come on before 7 usually and I have like 4 hours to burn every morning and I don't know what to do.. and therefore I blog..

of course, I spend the time preparing my lessons for the day, but there is only so much that one can do in terms of preparation right? and there is a limit to what you can surf and look at I guess.. the same websites start to get boring after your 3,000,000th time looking at it in the past 30 mins, if you get what I mean..

so well, been doing some excel spreadsheet thingy for now, and somehow enjoying myself, even though it's like tedious work, 'cause at least I'm doing something that is constructive and not wasting my time, and also because I learn new things along the way as I'm exploring it.. I can't believe I made Microsoft Excel sound so interesting, but trust me, on a computer without games, even Excel can become interesting.. and I have not even started on Powerpoint yet ok.. =P

so now, as I mentioned in my prev post.. my days are not v occupied, but my time after 430 is crazy.. mostly soccer, but still crazy.. perhaps I should use that as a reason to request that I come in for work at about 10 on days that I don't start early.. haha.. wishful thinking..

basically I'm bored now with nothing much to do as I'm waiting for some confirmation on the excel thingy, but want to pretend that I'm busy on the computer and therefore I'm trying to type as much here as I can, but I don't think I'm making much sense anyway.. so let me think of something to talk about then..

hmm.. how about my two new classes? well, can't complain, at least they aren't that bad, find that as with most Singaporean students, myself included, they aren't that participative in class and somehow I must continue to find ways to get around that.. which is really easy to say but well.. frankly, I wouldn't mind having this bunch for the rest of this year as I quite enjoy having lessons with them, but lessons now are relatively light as well and therefore more fun I guess..

the soccer guys are funny too, and entertaining at times, and I kinda enjoy the training sessions even though I feel so damn old when I look at them train.. that youthful exuberance, the seemingly inexhaustible supply of energy.. looking at them reminds me of the time where we could play 2 soccer matches in a day and yet be so energetic.. nowadays, even walking to the field makes me tired.. haha.. -)

oh well, there's only so much that one can crap in a day without being found out, and I'm like dangerously close to that limit now, and lest I lose another of my already pathetic viewership, I'd better stop now and just shut up.. stay tuned though.. at least till the second intake.. =X

Soccer Training and What Nots..

hmm.. haven't exactly been very busy recently, but just haven't had much to blog about I guess.. lessons are fine, relatively light compared to last year where I had 4 GP classes (only 2 now!!), and my two classes are rather good as well (I hope that remains) and no complaints as for now..

the other thing I've been really busy with would be soccer I guess... soccer training with the students on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, kick-abouts with colleagues on Thursday and my team on Sunday.. sounds like a packed professional schedule man.. hah.. but well..

soccer training with the students has been good.. so much so that I go down on Tuesdays even when I don't have to.. but since I'm relatively free these days, I don't really mind.. and it gives me more time to work with my goalkeepers too, which is good.. and I do miss the training sessions that I went through ages back as well, and these sessions actually do help me find that feeling again..

well, nothing else really happening in my life at the moment actually, especially like last week where I never got home before the sun set.. after leaving home before the sun rises.. so I hardly ventured anywhere and spent time mostly at home.. but at least there's the ASEAN Cup on tv these days.. not that it's really exciting (well, the commentators make it seem really good, but well..), but hey, it's not the EPL man..

I just realised that this whole post has been randomly going on about soccer and soccer and soccer.. and I probably sound like someone with no damn life.. well.. perhaps.. =P

Why does my title always end with a "?"?

This is a post in response to Swee's tag.. because I think I can't explain myself in the limited space provided in the tag board.. so well, here goes..

hmm.. actually, I wonder too.. why does my title always end with "?"? and frankly, I've never given it any thought until you brought it up.. I guess that it's because I always start off by wanting to talk about something.. Taipei for example, and will go on and on about it, but eventually, I end up being unsure about whether I'm still talking about Taipei, or whether I'm already talking about something else in the post, hence "Taipei?" rather than "Taipei!".. if you get what I mean..

in other instances, like "back to work?", the "?" is there because I don't really know whether I'm really back at work or not, and perhaps, it's more like I'm not ready to accept being back at work? haha.. but yes, again, a certain level of uncertainty here, but yet, it's different from the first instance, because in the first, I start off knowing what I want to talk about and am unsure of how it proceeds, and in the second, I start off not knowing about what I want to talk about, or even if I know about it, I want to not know about it..

this can probably go on and on, but I don't want to drag further and start confusing everyone and myself.. so well.. there you go.. part of the reason why my titles all end with "?".. Swee, hope that answers your question!

and since I'm here by the way, let me just update from where I left off the last time.. Christmas was just over, and New Year around the corner the last time I was here.. my first few hours of 2007 was action-packed.. long long story, long long walk too.. but that should be a good start to 2007 I guess.. following that, school started and so too the waking up early, but getting used to that now.. CCAs for this year, soccer and interact club.. started soccer training already.. enjoying it, but also realising that it's super tiring.. hah..

lessons haven't officially started, probably next week, and been doing lots of admin stuff at the moment that really bores me to tears but have to do anyway.. latest news is that I do not have a CG, and hopefully that stays the same even after the second intake.. haha.. =P

yup, so that brings you up to speed with what is happening in my life at the moment, and until the next time.. which might be when I feel like it, or someone asks me a question which I never considered myself.. ciaoz!
