I was one of the inline skating instructors for the (mega) camp at Christ Church Secondary some few days back. The camp was a collaboration of 12 different churches, and participants were made up of young kids and some teenagers. I attended 2 out of 3 days and for the time that I was there, we developed a love-hate relationship with children, the sun and the hot weather. I don't know if it's just this bunch but children nowadays need to learn how to be more independant. I swear I could have started screaming at the top of my lungs if I had to take just one more lesson.

What exactly happened? I made all the kids grab a set of protective guards, a helmet, and a pair of skates each. Young children being themselves, I wasn't too surprised that a lot of them started putting on their skates even before wearing the guards. So, lesson after lesson, I had to repeat to them, "Children, please put on your knee guards before you wear your skates". I was okay with that, and maybe I'd just hoped that they'd start following instructions more closely.

TOO MANY of them were unable to wear the guards correctly at first, NONE of them watched when I demonstrated (though they managed to get them on one way or other), and ONE particular girl insisted that I help her put on every single guard. namai. She think she princess or what. What really pissed me off was the fact that they were unsure of how to wear the guards/skates correctly, yet they refused to listen to instructions and when they start failing to put them on correctly one by one, they'd be like "I don't know how to wear" with a damned helpless face. Imagine 7 - 8 children saying that to you all at the same time, I can assure you it's frustrating. I truly need to start my learning stint at NIE soon, keeping fingers crossed.

dougie left for Batam with his secondary school friends yesterday, in the morning. He'd just called to say that they went cable-skiing today, and will be back tomorrow afternoon. Keeping fingers crossed for a safe journey back.

Visited Zouk with XY and Edwina last night. I met Z at the entrance and he was really nice to have helped me cut the (damned long) queue. We hopped over to MOS for a short while for a birthday party and met an asshole in Smoove. Headed back to Zouk after we tried trancing at the main arena. It's Zouk for me anytime baby. It must be Fred Perry night or something la, noticed that guys are REALLY into Fred Perry polo tees now, and they don't come cheap, Z told me he paid $200 for his tee. If I see the whole club filled with people wearing an identical $200 top as me, I'd be damned gek sim.

Caught up with Z on the phone after we headed home. He told me bout how he 'tested water' to prove his point that girls nowadays are just犯贱, and the girls he talked about were all from NUS. NUS girls love clubbing huh. He got to know one of them on the dancefloor, and they exchanged numbers, held hands, and what-nots. One particular girl messaged him to tell him, "Hey I think you're a good guy so I don't want to lie to you, I'm attached", after he asked if she's home already. In the next few days, he'd texted the girl out for a movie, and she said okay. He fed the girl, and she let him. He said to himself, that poor boyfriend. If he ever found out that his girlfriend did something like that, the one and only thing he'll do is to break up with her. While I do not necessarily approve of what he does to prove his point, I am appalled that girls nowadays are so open and liberal bout getting touchy with random strangers. Whatever's happened to staying faithful, and loving yourselves?

Then, he told me about his Tioman trip and made me kinda tempted to go for another weekend getaway real soon. It's only $150 for a 3D2N stay and there are so many activities to do! Fill you guys with more details if I'm going to organize one such trip okay?

Met up with tan, lala and ev for dinner at Sakura, Compass Point, today. Had fun catching up with the babes, and talking about nothing. I hope all goes well for the girls, and we'll be able to go for a sushi buffet sometime soon again.

my girls at dinner tonight

And last night, at Zouk:

Other random stuff includes yf getting his fencing attire. This sport just seem so atas can, attire alone costs $500++.
