Blog Update... finally

I've decided to start blogging constantly again like in the past. Changed my blog skin to something very normal since my blog manager is in army now. I shall wait for his return so tat he could do up this blog into something nicer. haha. And now I admit.. the main reason why I didn't really update my blog is because I've been busy with work but more of being lazy to do so. I noticed this year, time pass very fast. Or mabye it's jus that feeling.. as you get older.. time pass even faster. Very soon, results will come out. I'm not really expecting much from it either. So I don't really feel that anxiety feeling of "wat-am-I-going-get-for-A-lvls" thingi. To be frank, looking at my academic progess in jc, its all rubbish. haha. More importantly, I got what I came for went I went into jc. If you know me. You will know what I mean.

Anyway, lets see what I've done so far. One thing my parents and friends will agree with me is that I've been going overseas quite often. Not into far away places though. haha.
Since As ended, I've been to:
Penang, Genting and KL with my good rugger friends,
Jakarta with the Melays,
Kaohsiung (Taiwan) with the National U-19 Team,
Perth to see my brother off as he is currently studying there
and Bangkok to referee the Bangkok International 10s.
Plus I'm making 3 trips to KL soon. One with my mum and sis and the other 2 for a course.

My Bangkok trip was a very memorable one. It was the first time I travelled to a foreign country alone. My trip there was an official one because I was representing the the singapore referees'. Met with Matt Oakley when I arrived there. He introduced another referee, who at the end of the day was more of my mentor, AL. He's one pro referee. Matt and me thought me lots of stuff about refereeing. The learning slope of a referee when he travels overseas is much steeper then when he's at home. I'm privileged to have been given this chance. In addition to that, I got to refereed the Bowl Finals and touch judged the Cup Finals. Tats an honour. Other then refereeing, it was shopping at MBK. haha. I somehow feel much safer travelling in their trains then taking the cabs or tuk tuk. The feedbacks I got in Bangkok motivates me more to pursue refereeing. I'm still experimenting if I'm really cut for this job. haha. Further more, it's a good source of getting quick cash legally. haha.

However, that's not my full time job. I'm currently working as the Sports Development Officer in St. Andrew's School. This job, although it can be very demanding at times, it's something I enjoy every single minute. The friends and atmosphere is awsome. Plus I adapt very easily to the environment which I feel more of my 2nd home! Now its like busy period since B Div is under way. I swear I'm going to miss my job when I go into army.

Talking about army, life is quite boring now.. Most of the Melays are in the army, people whom I usually hang out with. Others who are not are very busy with their jobs. Basically everyone's busy. And what's worse is that when they are free, I'm busy and vice versa. Always clash! That gives more excuse to stay at work. hahaha.

Alrite, I shall stop here for now. AND HOPEFULLY.. I will start blogging again!
