a sporting affair

GO ROGER GO!
he finally made it to the finals again
tough year for him
Although i may not be at home watching you on cable, my spirit is with you!
WHOOP nadal's spanish ass.



Today marks the end of a hectic week.
Went for my first marathon ever last sunday.
Yes, the coveted Nike Plus Human 10k Race. All i can say i ran as fast as my legs could take me so no regrets about that. Didn't stop for water or anything. So proud of myself!!


went through school from monday to friday which went by in a blink of an eye.
School weeks are so short they seem to fly by and soon you know its friday again
Caleb says "it feels so fast cause you are enjoying yourself"
touche baby.
ppl from my PE class are huge fun to be around with cause they are so on and spontaneous, so my kinda people
PESS degree yr 1 damn terror!
our tagline

Probabaly the sucky part about this week was that i didnt get to go home at all due to netbal carnival that PESS is organising over the weekends
Secondary school girls streaming into NIE for the carnival brings back old memories of secondary school.
In fact, i even saw some familiar faces in the oraganised mess
The netballers from Damai sec, Mr cho, the netball coach Mr Bok who is still as loud as ever but pudgier.
Spent the whole days managing court 1 of the MPH, controlling the crowd, and playing with the walkie talkie.
Walkie-takie-ing is so fun especially when you're communicating with so many crappy ppl from PE. I was the girl with the kiddy voice! DO I HAVE A KIDDY VOICE??
i think i sound rather sexy in fact
haha


on a more serious note, the netball carnival gave me an insight into the netball world.
Having many friends doing and loving the sport, it was an eye opener to be managing and watching such a grand event.
However, im really surprised at how some of the coaches especially from the better teams are shouting at the girls from the sideline.
They shout when they make a mistake, they shout when they did well, they shout at everything.
and they shout really loud im telling you
In fact, they were giving them instructions, throughout the whole game.
I mean, if i were a coach, i would expect my students to be able to play their own game when it was the time for them to do so.
Even of they do not do the right thing all the time, it would still be a learning experience aint it?
But what puzzles is how this shouting phenomena seems to be uniform for alot of top notch teams.
As a PE teacher, is that what i want my future students to do?
To be task carrying my instructions on race/match day?
to be mere robots?
omg, too much introduction to PE


another week starts tmr!
