1stly, my swimming kid made impressive progress this morning!
5mths ago, Jamie was in the toddler's class where I was attached to another coach. Being just four of age, her kicking is not what i would call the best lah but it's really understandable. Then she attended my Basic Foundation class, whereby the empathsis is on board kicking, water confidence (blowing bubbles underwater) and floating. Her character is what I would call the "have a mind of her own", so since she can propell herself with "wrong" kicking, she did not wish to change it.
Due to the long term break during the festive season, her mother employed me to cont. coaching her, but one-to-one basis so that she wun forget all she has learnt. Also, her mum says that she has problem trying to correct her as Princess Jamie will refuse to listen n throw tantrum. Today was the 2nd one-to-one lesson with her. Not only has she corrected her kicking (which itself is already a miracle!), she could also do heads-down-kicking properly n even without board! WOAH! Her mum was so happy n rather amazed! *CLAP*CLAP*
Sideline - one of the swimming kid's mummy brought me n Glynis some yummy chocolates. She thanked us profusely for our patience in guiding her daughter whom after 5months made some real gd progress during the last 3-4 lessons. She said she almost gave up! Her daughter is the kind who takes quite a while to warm up to the person, was a weepy child when I 1st saw her - she cries n sobs nonstop at each lesson. But with lotsa patience n encouragment (Plus lotsa praising of cos!), she flourished beautifully and could improved by leaps n bounds! Far cry from when I 1st saw her during the beginning of the term! Now she looks forward to swimming class!
2ndly, today is D-day I am finally meeting my BFF Starry Stella.
For the past months, I have been feeling abit awkward whenever I meet her, I need longer time to warm up myself, I was rather cold but it's just something I cant help. Today was different, I met her - n I just shoot n babble non-stop! All the icy cold feeling melt away, was rather amazed by myself!
3rdly, it's "When Hainan Meets Teochew" day!
After our shopping, we trekked (yes, literally) from Dhoby Ghaut MRT to Peace Center, Sophia Road, Adis Road, up to Mount Sophia. Destination is Old School@ Mt.Sophia. I was looking out for a shortcut to cut thru but to no avail. When we reached there, we were chatting with the staff there n they told us there is a short cut n we ought to take that when we go home. =D The person who so kindly showed us the way was non other than the Producer for the movie! OMG! I only tot he look rather cute! =D *WINKS*

"Golden Pillow 金枕头"
--------
The movie was Great! for a local production that is... I will give it a 6.5/10. The movie touched on a few sensitive matters of society expectation and pressure on sexuality acceptance... only the surface of it though. I guess those who face these issues will understand n it will really relate to them. But those who are not may be left with some unexplained concept.
Nevertheless, Support Local production!
The last day of screening is over, if realy wanna watch it, write to Sinema.sg n feedback. then they may consider screening it for a longer period.
-------
Totally exhausted after the movie, we kept rather quiet on our way back, this time we made sure we took the shortcut. =D It was a rather quick by steep decent down Mount Sophia thru the private condo there. Sssssssshhhh! Dun tell pple!
