Food for your soul

I am whining at LOUSY Instructor

Saturday is here and i am looking forward to have skating lesson. Picked it up as I had little free time to make use to learn.

Schedule is very hectic in 2006 that i never learn skating. Skating is what i always wanted to pick up because it is also one of elements used in Adventure Racing. Over the mountain or on rough trail, skating is one of element that the race director in USA will use to test the mental frame of the adventure racer in mountain or on rough trail beside abseiling, kayaking, cycling, running, orienteering and sleeping in wilderness that is beyond your wild dream.

Eco-Callenge Adventure racing was shown on AXN where many racers have to go through different elements in ECO-Challenge Adventure Racing. Skating on trail in mountain is one of the elements in Eco-Challenge.

In SIngapore, i took part in adventure racing which consist of abseiling, Kayak, cycling, running and to do orienteering in wilderness. My team and i must finish within the time frame that test on our endurance and mental frame.

That's why i took skating up basically because of adventure racing and to keep myself fit. It do help me to maintence my body frame as i used to be very fat. I shedded off weights over years due to dragon boat, adventure racing, triathlon.

Now i am whining at the lousy teaching quality of the instructors ( will not say the name of company in case i will be "sued" for opening my sacrastic). They never teach the proper posture and just teach superfically what they know than teaching the proper steps in skating.

It is damn dangerous if i learn wrong way of skating. It is fortunate that i met a nice lady from other shop who taught me right posture and steps. I vowed that i will strike a big red light at the fourth lesson and go to other person who can teach right steps.

I am even more angry and wanted to curse loudly in front of my friends. My friends do share the same sentiments with me.

Enough of cursing other wise i will be very very sacrastic that wound their pride and will make me bad. I am soft hearted at certain times.

2 weeks ago, i taught 4 youths. They have problem in their attitudes towards studies that they came late for tuition. They have this bad habit of coming late for 30-one hour that i had to wait. The other tutor gave up on them. Sighhhzzz... i gave them scoldings that made me feel bad.

Last friday, i decided to write 4 cards and chocolates to apologise for my scolding. My heart is soooo soft because they are young. Hope that they will understand the importance of studies. Again 3 of them sabotaged the tuition lessons that the tuition co ordinator had to call their parents up. Hope that they will come for the next lesson. I am thank ful that one of them showed the positive attitude and brought text book to revise through.

3 cheers for HIM.
