Dilemnas from down under

Teachers today seemed to have made a pact to coax tears out of me. Mr Kiw and Mr Tan L.C, I have newfound respect for you. They make me realize what a tough job being a teacher is, and their passion for teaching is burning even so. They made a big impact on me. Thank you, and a Happy Teachers' Day (in advance) to you.

Training today was burning hot. The sun was flaming orange and we're all sunburnt. But it was somehow productive, though I have to work on my timing :( Watched beach volleyball on cable and if I had half the strength of that sweat-soaked beach hunk who spikes so many balls and still isn't tired, I think I can elevate myself to a higher position. Coach was irritated by me not being able to do what he says. I was irritated by his irritated mood. But guess it turned out ok, no hard feelings. Would be going on a 1.5 month hiatus on volleyball. It's like undergoing cold turkey for a volleyball addiction.

Talking about volleyball. A point to make, teachers keep telling me to concentrate more on studying than on volleyball. Like hello you won't even see me playing volleyball other than during trainings! And so we've established going for every single training means spending A LOT of time on it?! And Ms Tan says not to spend too much time on volleyball! I feel like saying, You're the volleyball in charge! When we turn up for trainings, you tell us to work hard and don't spend too much time on volleyball. When we don't turn up for trainings, you gripe about it all day, demanding for MCs and letters and explanations. What a paradox.

What a disaster.
