Eileen came in today.. and she din have any idea what to do with the kids.. she threw a buncha suggestions that dun seem practical.. like throwing the kids to the summer camp and have them teach the kids??? like duh.... I suggested some stuff... but she threw it out.. then she contradicted herself.. again.. normal.. I got tired of discussing..... (bad attitude) and got out and started goofing arnd with the kids.. starting playing soccer with them.. David Bell came up to me and say.. "Man, U are good in soccer!" I was laughing away.. me? good in soccer? haha no way!!

Anyway.. she finally decided wht to do with the kids.. and frankly.. I don't care.. as long as she is happy.. Got everybody to write about their regatta's so far.. Ross came up with a speech on how he got first.. and the conclusion was.. Never follow JOhn's Advise..haha.. cos I asked him to monkey see monkey do.. if he had followed the leaders.. he wouldn't have gotten first.. but well.. dats only for the first race.. after the 1st race.. he decided dat he din need to copy others.. and he got 6th..and 8th.... oh well.. i always believe dat in copying..there's such thing called copying smartly.. keke.. Hmm.. maybe its cos the singapore government set a very good example for us.. Oh well....

Lindsey asked if I could demostrate Roll Tacking for her Advance kids... Steve asked Eileen if she was ok.. I guess she's my boss.. she said she din't care.. (how nice) and I got out! Whee!! got back to shore at 11.. and saw them launching.. I'm like.. huh? I thought she din want them to launch today.. oh well.. anyway..  got back.. told her that i'll have my lunch first.. cos they had theirs... and finished it.. talked to steve..and went out and practice starts with the kids...

We finished.. and was sailing back.. Alex sailed by the Kayak kids. and Eric, the kayak assistant took a buncha seaweed and threw it at Alex.. the rest of the kids followed suit and did that..I din think that it was very nice... Eileen saw it.. and went over and shouted at the kids.. I mean.. It was good to shout at them.. but not when the coach is standing there.. I told her afterwards that she should have more respect for him.. and she seemed kinda shocked dat I will say that to her.. Told her that it'll be difficult for him to gain the respect of his kids if she does that.... I guess I was kinda harsh the way I said it.. cos for once. she was stumped..

We started cycling back.. when Steve realise that he got a flat.. learnt from sam later... that it was David Bell that let the air out.. and Sam din tell steve.. tsk.. i thought that was dumb.. Suzanne came and got us.. and it was a mad rush from home to get to the sailing centre..

Mike / Kelly /Kemp / Betsy / Bob / Glen / Steve / Myself were on the boat.. air was very light.. abt 3 to 4 knots of wind.. doesn't do this boat good.. this performs well in 15 to 20 knots.. we watned to start on the right.. but we got there a lil too early.. and we had to sail down the line.. laid the line.. but we were last.. again. haha.. oh well..

Came back home.. and made myself chicken porridge! it was heavenly. hah.. some chinese food.. ummmmMMmm.. Got a recipe from Fran on how to make spring rolls.. ang moh style.. Wanna make some for this sunday Mid Season party for instructors!

Thoughts of the day: Was asked wat kinda job I'm looking for today.. and I could'nt figure it out either. still.. haha..sigh
