Now i finally understand why i have little success in attracting girls of my age. Apparently i am mistaken for a secondary school student….haha..this is the most hilarious compliment…..

And it seems that there is this old wives’ tale that says small eyes are seductive….wonder who i have been seducing…haha….

Hi..so one week of teaching just passed like that…it seemed more like a month to me. Was bogged down by tons of admin work throughout the week as i am taking a form class. Finally settled most of the admin work on Saturday.

Luckily Monday is a school holiday - Youth day and the weekend is a little longer. Otherwise, i feel like the weekend passed so fast. Even in less than a blink of the eye, it’s already 1am on Monday morning. Will be damn sad and demoralised if i have to go to school.

Didn’t do much on Friday night, basically rested and have some good sleep. Went back to school on Sat morning to finish up my admin work and then off i went to meet up with the rest at the National Stadium. It’s really a pity that Adrian couldn’t join us as he was down with a fever, but luckily it isn’t dengue and this long weekend serves as a good chance for him to recuperate. Get well soon, man.

Speaking of the National Stadium, i went there for the field of dreams - tribute to national stadium. There was the veterans match between spore and malaysia, woah..quah kim song and sundramorthy are still damn good…then followed by the intl friendly between spore and australia.

Ehh, the australians are really technically better and physically fitter and faster than our guys….you could already tell the gap between the standard of both teams through the warming up activities they do prior to the match. Well, i would say that PE teachers play a massive role in educating the next generation of sports talents and in influencing the way things are being done.

The soccer matches were interspersed by some events to mark the closing of the national stadium, there was Mr K, my lecturer at NIE, carrying the touch and lighting the cauldron, a trip down memory lane, a pararde by 600 team singapore athletes, performance by kit chan, fireworks and declaration of the closing of the stadium. The atmosphere there was superb considering that the stands weren’t filled, definitely lose out to the malaysia cup matches, where i went to watch some of the games, and the opening of the S-league. Nonetheless, it was good to be part of the history and this will serve to be a great story to tell my young charges who never had the chance to visit the national stadium.

Went to this event with kaixin, jianwen, shiren and shuyu…like i said earlier it was a pity adrian couldn’t join us. Also show jojo and seri the way to national stadium where jojo met up with her uncle and cousins. The aftermath of the event was like the malaysia cup days, heavy traffic (both humans and vehicles) but it wasn’t too bad as this was going to be the last time i get to witness such a sight. We only managed to get on the bus to city hall after missing 7 buses.

Went for a late dinner at bras basah and talked about school. Reached home at about 3…..it was good..haha..haven’t been staying out till so late…and especially in the midst of such heavy workload, it is good to strike a balance. haha.

Alright, that’s all…enjoy the pics and videos from the event.
