(this entry was supposed to be posted yesterday)
At the art room once again, sitting in for 3K’s Chinese calligraphy lesson (my junior junior junior junior junior class), lol. A few of the students were giving me that confused look which says “aren’t you a PE teacher?”
I guess I’m kind of used to it by now.
Anyway their lesson today is on scenery painting, which I find more captivating as compared to flowers and birds for the previous lesson. I’ve tried to draw a comparison to my scenery sketch I did a while back on paper (with a pencil of course) and I can really tell that calligraphy painting is on an entirely different level. Though the drawings are generally similar, the techniques involved in calligraphy are in an entirely different league.
I guess it’s probably because we’re all trained to use a pencil since we were young, not a brush.
It’s the fourth day of the week, and relief teaching in RV on Thursdays is always something to look forward to, simply because there’ll always be a game of soccer waiting for me in the afternoon. Honestly I have a slight fear of standing on the weighing scale now due to obvious reasons (if not obvious enough, it’s the sheer lack of exercise). Discipline isn’t exactly a friendly person because he always seems to avoid me. So if I don’t find him back soon I seriously would have to bid farewell to my $400 for IPPT gold.
And the clock is ticking….
So it is for Newcastle United. The recent off field controversy has been both a distraction to the team and a irritation for the fans, especially since they’re in the last lap of their race now. A soccer player, or rather, any sportsman will never qualify to be a role model if he or she doesn’t learn how to curb his or her behavior off the field. The recent string of incidents in the football world has been giving the sport a bad name for itself, and the governing body seriously needs to consider having a firmer grip to ensure that those who practice the game stick to its beauty, not tarnish it.
It is not always about the number of goals you score that determines your contribution for the team.
