Sunday, December 23, 2007 @ 11:51 AM: Busy!!!
Well... finally some time for me to sit down at the comp and do some blogging... perhaps some sum-up of what's happened in the past 3 weeks and an update of things to come...
Haha... seriously I have not taken a break after my ORD... I remember during those days, I'll just say... hang on for that day, then i'll not need to care about the endless paper work... all the monthly and weekly reports/duties/forecasts/everything that the superiors are waiting for me to generate... yups... as i was talking to caleb (one of my buddies back at the camp though he was never in the same coy as me), i realised that hey i wasn't facing that type of work stress, but it seems my life is still rather the same... busy!!!
Well... the ASEAN Youth Bridge championships had been quite a good tourney to take part in... all thanks to the organisers (and of course including mhay, ann and the rest who have helped us so much, inclusive of the cebu trip)... just quite sad that i got sick on the very crucial day and couldn't play much... but I'm proud to say that it is one of the tourneys I have made the least (or least noticeable) mistakes... haha... and to achieve 6th in the open pairs is quite an achievement for me and my p =) Of course Cebu is a nice place to go... would recommend for ppl who just wish to take a weekend off the urban landscape and appreciate the tranquility of rural backdrop... the sunset there was astounding!
Back to Singapore, we were rushed back into competitive action in the form of National Youth Championships... which of course we didn't do well, including me... What to expect when most of the team members are coughing away at the table, and for me, struggling to concentrate? Haha... I guess mistakes were aplenty... from letting a 4S made by Kelvin to some horrible bidding which didn't see doubles against opps' sacrifice? But of course as I've always said, only concentrate on our own mistakes, correct them and move on... There's no pt in pointing fingers at the post-match review... in which we won't learn (as ppl will deny it is their mistake and not listen anything about it) and unhappiness will rouse... There are many other comps worth fighting for of course... hahaha...
Then of course I get to meet my tutees for the rest of the week... It is fun to teach geography when originally I intend to cover chemistry... haha... the tutee taught i was going to study geog in uni in fact! And of course, a bit of stress when covering those smart kids... u never know how good they are in fact and start asking u questions u've never raised... while for some, the attitudes are good and i hope they'll be ready enough to face the next gruelling academic year of J2...
Now shall talk about what I'll be in for next year (first three months):-
1. ICES attachment at Jurong Island (wow... travelling time will be crazy!!!)
2. 5 tutees (prepared to have at least 3 weekday nights and 1 weekend eaten up)
3. Trials for World Youth Mind Sports in the first two weekends + all the bridge open pairs coming up
4. ECOSingapore (Will be involved in the National Youth Envt Forum 08, certainly busy working behind the scenes for the administrative parts... plus got the Ecohouse project! Argh!)
5. Preparing for my Europe backpack trip in April...
Ok... hopefully I'll manage all these by then... just like how i manage all the academic comps, all the CCAs and all my homework in Sec 4 and J2... Wooh! Gambatte! Certainly can't afford to fall sick again!
thank you for bringing me memories...
