Teaching needs patient

Just came back from fencing and cook 2 dish of vegetable

Egg plant aka brinjal


Cabbage with Carrots

Fencing class today...same thing happened, only so few turn up.
Well.. learn to tolerate that these people might be busy cause it is near ending of semester.

But sometimes i can't really understand, althoug all is busy, why can't we spend sometime on the things that you are really passionate about? Like doing sports. It is healthy for us anyway. Is mere 2 hours of time. Perhaps it is true that different people operates different ways. Just have to respect it and try to think at their point of view.

Dissapointed? a bit. But glad that these few girls turn up. I'm really proud of them and wanted to give the best to them.

those who came are (Ah Bee most left back row, JacQi 7th back row, MeiFong 9th back row, KaiLin most right backrow and of course 'lady' coach, Captain and me the slave,Mary not in picture)

I always thought im too fierce and too impatient while teaching. Regardless fencing or piano. I think i'm very harsh at pushing my students.
Forgive me people. Am trying to learn. Be patient with me.

One more note.. there is no one that can't be thought to fence. Just need getting used to poking people and a bit of self confidence. All this can be developed.

And remember there is always a new way of counting how many lunges. Motivate yourself by the way i teach.

if there is 20 you need to do:-

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 more to go, 1, 2, 3, seven to go, 6, five more to go, 4, 3, two more, 1..

it motivates yourself.
Keep on pushing forward
