Off to BKK...

Off to my holiday trip to Bangkok for a week starting tom...

Basically this blog is pretty quiet cos most of the time I'm out having fun these days.

ODAC camp
A great success! My kids feedback that the mobile camp was the best that they ever had, not bad for a first attempt at organising a large scale activity! But then it'll be hard to top this achievement in future years though. Glad that they enjoyed the intro session to bouldering, will definitely give them the chance to learn more climbing skills this coming year. As expected, kayaking is not something they really like, but it's necessary to build character ha.

Playtime
Been trying to go to gym once a week, playing badminton twice a week. Still coaching the polo junior team, but think my playing days are numbered cos the rest of the alumni simply disappeared. For the first time, I finally joined Jacob at OBS to playboat, and it was wonderful to get back into that experience again. I could never find the motivation to continue playing by myself, guess you need to be in that clique to continue enjoying the sport. Strangely enough, I think I am closer to getting the floop than ever before, even after such a long break! Must be due to Jacob's excellent boat.

Work
I told myself to do work related things during this holiday for the next year but it is quite impossible actually, with all those distractions. I was thinking of doing work leisurely during my stay in BKK but don't think that's gonna happen too, sigh.

Anyway, now that things are so relaxed, I can't imagine how I got so stressed during term time. Maybe this is a time to reflect on how I can be more productive at work, like quitting aimless internet surfing in the office haha. Have a feeling it's a feeling of stress that leads to the low-spirited moods, all thanks to the unhelpful upper management at my workplace. In fact, this management helped made up my mind about going over to the MOE specialist track as soon as I can and get out of the factional conflicts of the school environment.

Oh well, to hell with the negative vibes. Enjoy the time while it lasts, I'm going shopping and eating next week, even if it makes me lazy and unfit.
