The week that past

As those of you might have realised, my posts have been getting more infrequent. Not through neglect, but things have been settling down more into a routine and new things pop up less often. Every day of the week, I know pretty much what to do.

Monday: Chill after a weekend of fun. Read. Play Defense of the Ancients (Warcraft 3)
Tuesday: Play ultimate frisbee at Riverside. Might include a dinner with friends after that.
Wednesday: Play ultimate frisbee at National University of Singapore. Definitely includes dinner with friends.
Thursday: May play ultimate frisbee at Riverside, depending on whether I'm up to it. Dinner with friends or alone. Dancing at Jitterbugs after dinner. Drinks after? Maybe.
Friday: Party night. Chill the day away, plan for dinner, and partying. General drunkedness.
Saturday: Tuition for the Sim kids. 3 hours in the morning or afternoon. Beach maybe, or just planning some get-together with old or new friends.
Sunday: Church in the morning. Now, I have tuition on Sunday nights. There would be another tuition during the weekdays, just not sure what time we're settling on yet.

That's about it. Not too much change nowadays. The only change is the people I meet, new or old, the slight differences in each time I play ultimate and the movies I watch.

Watched "Mob Sister" with Clement on Wednesday. It was a nice movie, but we weren't really in the mood for a chinese mob story that was very heartfelt and beautiful. We were expecting some fighting, some taking over of gangs etc. Instead, we had a young 18 year old who refused to see her "uncles" fight over the gang land and sacrificed herself for her beliefs. It was quite a beautiful movie, although a bit cheesy.

Yesterday was a very tiring day. Went to RJC to apply for a relief teaching position. Decided that since I have another 6 weeks as a civilian, I might as well go teach the younger ones something. I like old school anyway, and it'll be nice to teach for a while.

Then I spent 2 hours going through my old JC physics notes. I'm tutoring this kid who is going to take his A levels in 2 months and I have to know the stuff better than he does before I can tutor. I'm rusty in some of the concepts, so I have to brush that up.

After that, I headed down to Riverside for frisbee. It was another tiring running around. Although this time, I actually managed to make better cuts and better throws. I scored a few times, both throwing the disc and catching it in the end zone. After reading the book, Ultimate, and playing it every week, I'm getting a good hang of it. Still a long way to go, but it's a start. I might play in the Singapore Open with a team that needs people. But I'm still not sure about that yet. Hmmm.

Dinner followed frisbee. I was starving. I need a lot of food to keep my stomach happy. And I didn't eat too much lunch. After dinner was dancing. Seiwei and Stephanie Tan (not Seiwei's gf Steph) were there too. Steph Tan is new to dancing, so we taught her how to do the lindy. Dancing is still really fun. As long as I keep figuring out new moves in my head and not dance too much that it gets stale. I'm not getting any better. Just smoother and will play more with the music. I'm kinda stagnanting with taking classes. But I'm not too keen on doing that at the moment. Maybe later on, I'll do that again. Met Gracie dancing. She works as an advertiser. She knew Seiwei way back when they first started dancing. She's starting dancing again. Seiwei, Steph, Gracie and I went for a drink after dancing. Gracie and I were talking about Singapore's globalization and letting the younger people meet up with people from other countries. Our topic also involved a lot of how Singapore needs to look outwards through its people building relationships with foreign counterparts, either by having exchange programs with them, or going overseas. We'll be continuing to talk about this next week.

After that, we went home. The bus service stopped already. So instead of taking a cab (saving money), I walked home. It took me 50 minutes to get home. It isn't a long way, just from one end of a highway to the other and I have done it many times. I was just really tired after running around all day and dancing. It was kinda fun though. Haven't walked that road for a while. It passes through where I canoed for 2 years. I took a while to reminescine about the days of canoeing when we were crazy and had to train the whole day, doing lots of pushups and chinups. The pain and the glory. When I finally got home, it was a hot shower and then Dota before dropping my tired body into bed.

A pretty good day. I'm still continuously meeting new people that pop out of nowhere. I'm kinda making a huge effort to be friendly and meet lots of people. And it's definitely paying off well. I'm averaging 1-2 new people every week. The good thing is also that I still meet up with these people every week, therefore improving relationships. Like they say, "There's no such thing as a business relationship. It's always a personal relationship." The more people I am friends with, the better it is for life in general and even business.

However, I have yet to meet up with one of my oldest friends since I came back to Singapore. I need to set something up with him to meet him again. We have been friends since we were 3 and although our paths have been different in life, our history keeps us together. Time to figure out what he's up to.
