Sun, No surf, Beach and lecture.....
Saturday
Had a trainers' gathering on saturday at Changi. The food was OK but the highlight for me was definitely the coaching clinic. It felt like a gathering of heroes young and old. Was supposed to last only 45 minutes but it stretched out to 2 hours. Time passes real fast when you are enjoying yourelf and having fun. Stayed over at the club. Been a while since we had so many people staying over after an activity. 2 more days to commencing my course at NIE
Sunday
Had a short session on the Twista on Sunday morning. Tried to do a cartwheel but failed. Looks like I'll need to revisit some of my foundations. Bow stall getting rusty as well. Consolation ? My back deck roll, or rather my half back deck roll, is coming along well. Hope I can do a full back deck roll soon and eventually a dry roll. 1 more day to starting commencing my course at NIE.
Monday
Commenced my course at NIE. Received my timetable. Be studying from 0900-1600 everyday. Had a full day of psychology lecture today. Finding it hard to process. Spending 4 years in the wilderness called society has most certainly degraded my brain. Or at least the part that I use to use so much for mugging when I was still studying. The doctor for the module today is an interesting and engaging woman. I certainly feel she is definitely plying her skills. Engaging and interacting so very often with the people in the lecture hall, though deviating from the subject sometimes. Well, at least she is walking the walk.
Who really needs to buy ?

Getting around
Went to "recce" NIE today. Saw the Wind God on the way. Took one and a half hour to get to NIE from home. Sian..... On the bright side, I managed to go relieve my bladder, go get a MacDonald's breakfast and stare at the bus directory for five minutes in that time. Anyway, had breakfast with GXD (round 2) at Can 2. "Can't wait" to go study. Went to Harris to get my monthly dose of Maxim US. Amazing how they wrapped the magazine. By the time I removed all the scotch tape on the wrapper, I had a bulk of tape the size of a tennis ball. The sticker on the magazine clearly states not suitable for the young. Are they afraid that our youths today are so sex starved that they will rip through the plastic wrappers the moment they take it off the shelf ?

Something Good
Happy ! Cleared my L2 today. Thought it might be a failure. Turns out the reviews was not bad. There were a few glitches though. Like resting right beside Fairy Beacon. Rwww !! What a miscalculation. Was glad I had my lesson plan. Otherwise I would be lost today. L2 assessment down. Left with First Aid to go.

A Preview of Things to Come
Met up with the principal of HIHS for a "chat". Though it is not set in stone yet, it is very likely that I will be assigned as an AED for D&T, as well as take charge of scouts. Hmm.... Another full circle perhaps ? Will find out more after I complete my training at NIE. Apparently I'm the only AED who did not start on 9th.
Last day of my L2 assessment tomorrow. Hope things go as planned. Still concerned about my theory being smooth. Does that mean my practical CMI ? At least there was a plan. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
If I can see into the future and I make the changes in the present, wouldn't my future change again ?

Jingdan's Kai Shan Wen Zhang aka Opening Post
A warm welcome to Jingdan's Blog
Been wanting to start a blog for years but only got to it today
Anyway to kick it off
Met a boy today during a course. Was getting him to carry out a drill and he failed on the 1st attempt. He gave up immediately even after much coaxing. Here's the irony. He was encouraging and cheering on his friends who had tried and failed before him. This set me wondering whether is he one of many or one in many. Clear example of a NATO, No Action Talk Only ? Or did I fail to bring out the best in him ?
