Stand by me- oasis

Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday I've -
Gotta lot of things to learn
Said I would and I'll be leaving one day -
Before my heart starts to burn

(Bridge)
So what's the matter with you?
Sing me something new... don't you know
The cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away

Times are hard when things have got no meaning
I've found a key upon the floor
Maybe you and I will not believe in the things we find
Behind the door

(Chorus)
Stand by me - nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me - nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me - nobody knows the way it's gonna be

If you're leaving will you take me with you
I'm tired of talking on my phone
There is one thing I can never give you
My heart can never be your home

Time just flew by these 3 weeks with tests, assignments, presentation and lots of birthdays. My modules are coming to an end and exams are jus round the corner!!! Oh man, this sem really jus past like that☹ Have been clocking my milage and I’m really proud that I’m keeping up to it☺ I really glad to have wonderful friends to run with me- june, Andrew, ho teck, zebin and maybe kumar. I’m the kind who have to train with people to commit to me training as I commit to train with them. Some people say that they felt it simply just a torture to do marathon, and it’s jus another run to them, nothing special. Some people jus out to do PB, win, for whatever reasons. To me, the journey towards the marathon is more important, the trainings and friends I made along the way and the effort put in. I guess this is not jus any run for me. i I wanna do interval training to train up my fitness!!! And lose some fats. Blah. I’ve been gaining weigh becos I jus kept eating!!! I seriously need to reject food!!!
Hais, I feeling bad for lying that I’m not running with someone, and then run somewhere else with my friend. Argh, maybe I should really just be more straight forward man. Or should I just give it a try?? No harm right what, everything is right, sweet.thoughtful.etc, jus short of that spark. But as the saying goes, ‘ don’t do what you don’t wish other would do to you’… I don’t want karma leh.

About school
I’ve learnt a great deal from my modules and definitely potential more if I’m more hardworking, esp from edu psych. On the other hand, the reality is always different. In nie, everything is ideal. the real challenge is adapting what we’ve learnt to classrooms. ICT is really a potentially very powerful teaching tool because we can be relevant to the student’s life. School is more than jus 4 walls and the regular table and chair with a teacher talking on and on

About intro pe and pog. It interesting! I would miss mike soooo much. You can really tell if a teacher is sincere and passionate about what he’s doing. I was touched and it makes me really interested and want to learn from him. It makes me feel bad if he’s angry or when we’re not performing to his standard. This is the kind of influence I wanna have on my student. This also means the amount of effort I’ve to put in to achieve that. I’ve also been very idealist toward a lot of thing. I guess in reality things are jus different- time, space and other workload.

GCA and sport education pedagogies are really the way to go. Teaching small-sided games, modified games and focusing on developing intelligent players, it’s definite more meaningful than traditional way of teaching ppl! What about the constraints in school? 1 hour lesson, time for lesson preparation, other subject I’m teaching etc. I guess this is what people call reality…

About rugby coaching. I passed the coaching level1!!!:) so happy. I was focusing on attack using modified touch. I need to give individualized feedback, use my whistle more, more confidence, and clear instructions. I tend to forget some points like the rules of the game and also not really taking note of the refereeing and also taking note of the play and mistakes. Or maybe I could have used freeze play instead. Others in the teams did reminded me of having progression and to use more of the teaching points in the rugby books.

ICG, played really fun soccer. I felt useful for once… hahaha! I was the striker somemore! And amazing enough, we got into finals!!! and we got 2nd:)

Went for the drumming session. it's amazing how such a session can engage the elderly, making time simile ear to ear. It make people listen to one another's beats, to be with the group's rhythm. it's not about doing simply what i like to do. i've learnt alot from one of the senior citizen who taught me the drumming beats, he's really good at it. the seesion invited a laughter guru to faciliate, to bring laughter to others. it makes me think y cant i start by giving laughter to my own family and friends? why the impact of you trying to make others happy is quite important to kepp the eneray level up. It's also a great way for the young to interact, listen and have fun with the elderly. Their lives are mandane, it's must be quite a joy to play w the young ones:)

had alot of work to do still went out. had alot of laughter, and gay shit stuff.
