After much consideration , in the end i still gave in to federation and decided to go for the roll off. Deep inside i know that it will not make a difference in my life anymore regardless i'm in the team or not. This year will still be the same as next, there will not be any chances in anyway. Unless i stop bowling, nothing will change.
One of the reasons why i decided to go for the roll off is i know that i can make it back into the squad. Next is because i still have my friends in there and i really do want to keep in touch with them.
SOOOO much for saying i did not want to go for the roll off anymore. What the hell am i doing right now man. Can't even decide for my own life...Guess i have another one more year to think about it

The Calling Is Here And So The Time Has Come
Although experience is all that counts but when the age catches up, it means that it is time for you to go. This is a vicious cycle everyone of us must go through. I was once the young one who took over a position of a senior and now my role has reversed.
Perhaps, now I can start looking ahead and to move on from where I've stopped. This is no surprise as I can never stay the same way as I was and this world that we are living in does not allow anyone to be the way they used to be .
I have been bowling for 6 years and has won numerous tournaments and competitions. I was on the papers and media and now, I have used up my shelf life and time is up, so I'll have to go. I hate to admit it but this is the fact, I've lost this battle.
The question now is: "Leave for pride or Stay for whatever reasons?"

Irritated to the MAX!
OH MY GOSH!
Don't think anyone can believe how irritated i am right now at this moment. It all started off the moment I told ZOMBIE that I decided to resign from my current job. That is the one damn mistake I've made and it has caused me to be in such a state, to be in such agony and irritation.
Didn't know that ZOMBIE is such a double-faced creature ever alive. To think that I have to work along with her for the next few months. This really motivates me to resign with immediate effect. ZOMBIE is so cunning to the extend that I realise now that in the working world, you can hardly find friends. To put it into another words, you can never find a true friend in the working world. Can someone please tell me why do i have to face this type of creature on my first experience in the working world? To think Positively, it is a good start so that I can learn my mistakes from this school and that I will not make bigger mistakes in the future when I am going out to work in a more competitive industry. but seriously let me tell you this, IT SUCKS BIG TIME!
Okay, after releasing my anger I shall start with my story.
The school does not approve my leave for AIA and also for my exams, and thus I told them that i wanted to resign with immediate effect so that i can have more time for my commitments and academic. Hence, after much consideration the school has decided to approve some of my off days and i agreed to negotiate with them my leaves and to help out with them on days where we are super short of manpower.
Afterwhich, ZOMBIE seems to know that we are facing a little issue here hence when i saw her the other day when i'm on shift, she asked me about it so i casually mentioned it to her. From the very moment onwards, she has a 360 degree changed in attitude towards me. OH MY GOSH! you will never believe it. That drastic change has forced me to make up my mind that from that very day onwards, I shall not speak to the other admin staffs regarding anything else except for work matters. NOTHING ELSE! i have alredy made up my mind and my decision is final. I HAD ENOUGH of all this SHIT!
anyway, the moment she knew that i wanted to resign, she immediately called up her ex-colleagues to tell her that the school is in need of manpower and that she can recommend them in. She even called PUPPET to ask her if she has called up her ex-colleagues regarding interviews and stuff. In addition, there were a few parent here that are kind of hard to handle and i revert them to the upper management and they actually sent an email to ZOMBIE to tell her to handle these parents and her reply was:
Hi so-so-so-so,
Noted with thanks. I will stand firm on this. Thanks for giving me this chance to deal with challenging parents as this will make me learn how to deal with challenging parents in future.
I will follow up with her today and get back to you. Thank you
and not only that, PUPPET has also sent me an email and this what she said:
Hi She-na,
I would like to bring up the issue of so and so incident. I would like to bring to your attention that I would want BOTH you and ZOMBIE to handle this issue and not just only ZOMBIE, if that is the impression that we seem to be getting.
Also, I believe you would probably have read the email I sent regardingthis issue that all staff should try to avoid say, "upper managementetc etc" because when you say that, it means that parents know you donot have authority and will always want to by-pass you to go to thenext level.
Hence, please kindly take note that all issues relating to THIS SCHOOL should be settled at your level unless things get out of hand. Therefore, I sincerely hope that you will be able to take more ownership about THIS SCHOOL and deal it together as a team with ZOMBIE as you are part of the THE SCHOOL'S family. Do not worry or take this too personally as this is part and parcel oreverybody's learning curve.
Oh My WORD! it's really driving me nuts. it make it seems like i'm not doing anything. This is really frustrating. Oh Whatever, I'm so going to resign soon and it will be in 2 months' time. I shall see how this school is going to prosper in the future.
super annoyed.
Dear readers, all those names you have seen in this blog are superficial and should you have met someone who fits into this description perfectly is purely by coincidence. Please do not take this story seriously. thank you for your time and have a pleasant weekend. Cheers!
***whatever!

What Have I Done?!
alright, before i start my story, do not ask me why did i agree with it because at the moment i also asked myself this question too. *sigh* it all goes like this:
I was working on thursday, afternoon shift on the 30 October 08. In the school, we have this Master teacher, she plays very well on both the piano and the violin. she is truly one musician. I enjoys listening to her music while i'm busy calling the waitlist. Before she left that night, she asked me if i can drive. Since i just passed my license a couple of months a ago, so i proudly said yes. Next she asked if i know my way around Singapore, and my answer is think so. Last, she asked me if she could take up a few hours of my time to bring her folks around as they are coming back to Singapore, and without thinking much i replied not too sure if i'm of some help but you can refer to the street directory. Her response was she does not need a street directory, she just wanted me to show them how to get to town or something like that.
At the moment, i realised i'm stuck in a difficult situation where i cannot say no. The next thing i know, she sms me the next day and to ask me when i'm free so i told her monday morning before i go to class, that is TOMORROW!!!! oh my god! it's kinda weird for her to ask a favour from me. She gives me the "alice tay" feel you know.
This is going to be the first and the last time i'll ever help anyone that is OUT OF MY JOB SCOPE. this is like a personal favour la! gosh, colleagues are colleagues. friends are friends. They are just so different. Looks like this time round i leap without looking and i shall reap what i sow.
*sigh*
