thoughts...

met up with a lot of different groups of people over the last couple of weeks... a lot of exchanges, updates and just idle gossip... heard stuff, found out stuff... some good some bad...

just set me thinking about a lot of things that are happening around me...

sometimes i think too much... sometimes i don't think at all... so how?

to think or not to think?

things that i am thinking of...

1) masters
2) dragonboat
3) career, or the lack of it
4) lifestyle / expenses
5) relationships

i want to take a book... sit on a field and just read, then be able to go into a room and have an interesting conversation about it... i miss studying or rather, i miss the experience of learning... the world has far too much politics and powerplay... a bit more than what i can handle...

perhaps running away for a while would really help... sigh...

confessions of a workaholic

i have been asking myself lately... do i really enjoy what i do or am i doing what i enjoy? it is a bit of both really...

i am glad that my time these days are divided neatly between coaching debates and drama... really, it's been so far so good... *pat on my own back*

both my competition teams for debates have gone into quarters... meaning they are top eight of the entire pack... that's very very good for me... cos it has not been easy...

my drama students are ever so endearing... i think i have been overly cranky and snapping at them a lot this year... *reminder to self* must make it up to them... they have been screamed, yelled and ranted at... i would hate me if i were in their shoes... that said, the team had a great showing at their first ever syf (mine too!)... hope all goes well...

so what's left for work?

drama-wise... got to execute work plan for second half of the year and also plan for 2010

debates? broaden the pasture... really hope to take on more work in this field whether it is coaching or just conducting workshops...

no matter how tiring work may be... i think i enjoy what i do and thankfully i get to do what i enjoy too!

i am missing...

1) training with the x-men... the very first debate team that i coached... they are my pride and joy... each and every one of them are so dear and precious to me... my firstborns, the ones who would lay down their lives as long as sir coach needs them to...

2) jg 2009... what a year it has been... to have both my teams face up against each other... i think the quarters match marked this competition for me... a proud father of my own team and my student's team...

3) my bv girls... just did tech run for syf today... they finally hit the essence of the script... not written fantastically but executed flawlessly... whatever result we get, they are gold medalists already!

4) doing silly things at silly times on silly days... haha... driving to town to just shop in one store then rushing off to work again... silly right?

5) dragonboat training... never touch paddle for three weeks liao... having withdrawal...
