Day 19, and my last ever session at UWCSEA! Getting all too real that in 4 days, my whole gap year programme will be over. Crazy. It's been a quality year, and I'm so happy that I've done it. Hopefully it can help me onto even better things in the future.
Onto today! We only had an evening session scheduled at UWCSEA, so after having a nice lay in, we got up and decided to go out for some lunch. Dan had a fancying for pasta, so we headed to this place called Pasta Mania, at the top of Parkway Parade mall.
From the outside, it looked like a decent place to go. However, very soon after we entered, we realised we'd made a mistake. The service was absolutely terrible. The staff were grumpy and obviously didn't want to be there. The food was expensive and horrible, and it was just generally poor. It's ridiculous how businesses can get that bad, and how some managers/owners just don't know how to motivate staff and create a friendly atmosphere. Ridiculous. Oh well. Never going there again.
After we ate, we had a look around the mall. We tried loads of free samples, used massage chairs, and dossed about inside a fitness shop, on all the equipment they had. It was quite fun, actually, and killed time before we had to get on the bus to our session. After dossing around for a bit, we grabbed a frozen yogurt each, and headed for the bus stop.
When we arrived at UWCSEA we had a bit of free time, so Dan, Ross and I spent a while just playing long balls to each other which was fun. Didn't take long for me and Dan to start sweating though, despite we did next to no running around at all. Humidity is horrible.
I was with Yaz for my session. He was busy at Tanglin school, as they had a match. So I started off with the under 14 girls, got them warmed up for his session, which focused on passing and receiving. It was a decent session, and I was actually allowed to get involved which was alright. Ended it on a shooting practice, as we only had a small section of a pitch, so couldn't do a match. It worked, though, which was a relief.
After the session was over, we headed home, via grabbing some food at a local Hawker with Daymondo.
Before I wrap this up, I'll just explain what a hawker is, for anyone that doesn't know. A Hawker is basically a small group of different food stalls, all operating in the same section. It's unbelievable common out here, as there is a Hawker every few roads apart. It's a cheap, tasty meal out, and lets you taste some of the Singapore food, which I love.
My last day off tomorrow, Dan's low on cash, until we get paid on Sunday so not much may happen. May use the day to pack most of my stuff for when I leave, as Saturday we have a full day of coaching, and Sunday Ross is planning to take us out somewhere before I go, which should be good!
