Got myself a really part time job. The timing for the job is not confirm. Anytime I am needed, I need to be there. The pay is not very promising but it is certainly something I want to be doing.

I am an assistant Badminton coach if you are wondering what I am doing. I help out with some coaching of all levels. Currently I am helping 1 coach but I will be liaising with more coaches. I am expecting more client when school term starts. But for now, it will do.

My current assignments is still very relaxing but next week onwards, I will be busy everyday. I am doing umpiring duty for Ashaway tournament. The pay for the event is not really very good, but I am hoping to make use of the opportunity to know more coaches so that I can have more assistant job. This is the first time I am doing official umpiring job and I am afraid I mess it up. I don't want to receive any complains. It is also a good chance to know more badminton lovers. Maybe to find a girlfriend who love badminton?(just kidding)

This will also be a platform for me to experience coaching and learn a thing or two about professional coaching. Then I will go and get my coaching licence and be a certified coach. Next time you see me, I will be a real coach and you need need address me as coach. Isn't that cool?

It is a tiring job. Unlike those who stay in the office or in air-conditioned environment, I actually need to sweat to earn my pay. To coax little kids and to teach them proper strokes. A little bit scary. When playing, everyone has their own style and stroke, but we need to teach the standard to the beginners. I almost forgot how to do the basics. I don't want my own coach Lin mu to throw face also. So I got to do my best.
