=============================
Date: 15 Feb 2008 (Thurs) Time: 1.36am
Yesterday i coaching at Water Venture Kallang for 1star. It was only 23 student, 3 were nt in the water but the turn up.
We spilt them in to grps of 6 6 8, after the thoery and equipment.For myside, we only managed to cover until capsize drill. One were almost not intented to do. I motivated her to tried it, finally she does it by motivated frm her sch mate.
I was the one who help and support her. She not there to lean her kayak, so i give her a support by slowly help her to turn the kayak capsize. When she ready i ask her to lean, and i slowlly let go. She does well, with tap the hull 3 times, and ejected out frm the kayak. Can read tru her face, she felt a sense of acheivement.
After the coz, i with another 2 trainer go golden mile had drinks. one of the trainee coach who stay the same place as mind. So since same journey, I share with him my own coaching experience. Hope he can apply it, and cleared his Lvl 1 coaching assesment.

Finally got sick le haha Long long time nver get cough, this time cough until no voice haha (The 1st and 2nd lvl of voice gone)
Recently coaching was fun, get lots of extra allowance for my daily surviver haha. Mostly i save it up in my bank. Spend lesser and lesser, suddenly thinking lots of things is unncessary to have it.
So let it be and nver bought them.
Really save all lot.
========================
Passed 1.5 day was coaching at Jbac Advanture club sec 2 camps, i covered the kayaking session.
The tide is favorable to us, but the wind is strong. So we decided, to brief the student lanching against the wind direction and let the wind blowed them towards my area.
It was worked, and better than my passed few camps, the student were lanched along the wind direction and they got blowed overshot my area. And drifted far far away, some of them got worried and forgot how to controlled the kayak.
Always the same happening, we explained lots of tings to them. They simply knock the head and said yesh understand. Ended up go down to water, took a long time to figer up how to controlled the kayaks. Always almost the end of kayaking session, then they able to kayak.
This things always happen, throught the students mostly are confuse the direction. But this is very naturer reaction, still rem i 1st time kayak in the single, my single was rd abt the world too. lol!
========================
Has been coach 2 batches the CHIJ katong convent, when ever i coach this sch. Through i just knew the gals only, but i can feel the born in the 1star. Still got contact with some of them, they r friendly. They just like my sister in christ, may be coz i am roman catholic ba.
God bought them to me. haha Hope to see them back again and god bless they r journey. =)
Tmr going to kallang coach 1star. Its 4 thursday, hope everything will go fine.
Wind picking up badly recently and is final brust of the NE monsoon, it should be last at least 2 weeks.
After the wind die down again, then pre south west monsoon again haha.. Earth weather is so cute.

O ya long time nver blog haha!!
Hi everyone, really my life sudden change this few days. No more Tae Kwon Do coaching!
I officially decided to leave my tkd grps, coz i feel that i not good enough to be with the rest of the juniors.
I feel that everyone is trying gain power and status, why TKD is always full of politics?
Wat ever i done wat ever i do, nothing to be work for them?
Whenever i offered help they rejected me.
I use my heart and soul to coach the student, and nver be reconise.
Wat the hell it this?
well! Wat is the real leadership quality to them?
To me: A real coach suppose to help one n other make things worked, but not backstepping behind one another.
To Me: If a Coach having problem, student will suffer.
To me: A real leadership is nt abt gaining power, but try the best to teach and guide,towards outerside and innerside of the trainer heart. Nver the less always think the student feeling.
Wat happen to MEGAForce? Sir always siding them, and he wants me follow they foot step.
Importantly is i work willingly for them and not been paid. If i were them, they should appreciate me.
well, no point tok so much. Coz i alr consider not part of them alr
Best part is my sir havent paid me and took away all my classes, see i really dout of his own professionalisim. Nver investigate any thing just take this kind of action!
Now in Tae Kwon Do, I'm floating in the air and no land for my landing.
May god send me a land??
=======================================
Well come to my kayaking, I enjoy my 2star coz recently. Although i got defered my L2 coaching assesment.
This coz let me know lot of really interested on kayaking, they are potentially my kayaking fren and maybe my kayaking partner.
Hope things goes well on sat, and may god bless them have a good memory and safe with passing the 2star cert.
Look 4ward on tis sat, and is time to see the student collecting the cert with smiling face again lolx.
Hope to see them back for 3star soon
Really very good experience towards this coz, especially coaching with jiahui.
Me n jiahui same yr take coaching, but her coaching method is much more matured then me many times. Why?? that i need to do my own reflection le. Have to improve on my own management, organising and communication skill le.
Is good to improve now, rather than when i passed my L2, going for my L3 coaching may face more prob. Coz Lvl 3 coaching and above need to have good organising skill and communication skills, else we may have a hard time to coach the 3star too.
3star in involve lots of high risk skills, espcially those skills with on the move and eskimo roll. yeah more rescue prepare to teach them also. Oh ya! Need to conduct coaching assesment and cozes for the junior lvl coach too. Is part of my dream haha
2star is high risk skills is bow rudder and eskimo bow rescue.
haha got to accept lifes is full of up and down, happy and sad.
Well lucky i got lots of good student in coming sat, where can cover my sadness and replace to my happiness.
haha really fortunate to know many good ppl in kayaking
Kayaking ROX yeah!!!!
Best wish to the students.

2 Star Kayaking Awards with Wilson
on 24 feb, 3, 4 march07
1st day
-------
Morning was too consentrated on handling equipment in the morning and capsize drills in the , so only managed to do covered 1star skills and basic x rescue.
Lots of things forgot to recap!
Many mixtake does and sound like an unplanned trainer.
2nd day
=====
Morning suppose to revisit 1 star skills for my student, due to let of time, i proceed to expedition. When back to changi was early, and i sent the student for lunch. And covered the kayak design before lunch.
After lunch covered Took a long time to covered the hip frick n eskimo bow rescue.
Covered Low recovery and low brace turn
Back to club, keep back the equipment, covered the paddle design and read of tide and tide table.
3rd day
=====
Wilson purposily change enviroment, see my reaction.
I found out that too sticked to plan, n let of fexiblilty when coaching in a new enviroment.
Morn 1st lesson after the student ready the equipment, I gathered them and briefed abt the creek enviroment. The tide was almost covered the whole creek, I still proceed to kayak to swimmer rescue. After the demo and briefing of safety and proceed one pratical, wilson suggest me to stopped the activity, and proceed to basic skill 1st.
Like forward, backward stroke, j stroke, classic draw.
Then he asked everyone, got ready to launch off and I was launch off at the sea 1st. I asked everyone warmed up with sweep stroke. After a while i ask the rest to formed raft and i proceed to all the basic stroke again, and i was too detailed. It was took a long long time to end the session of every session.
It was quite a while then finally i proceed to 2star skills
Low recovery
Low brace turn
X rescue.
Then we proceed to lunch time, coz he want to end the session early.
After lunch wilson he took over, he coached them
sculling draw, High recovery, bow rudder, recap on eskimo bow rescue.
When come to eskimo bow rescue, he brought the rest back to shore. Also asked one by one show him. And then i entertained those student who finished the eskimo bow rescue, washed kayak and put back the rack. After evryone finished, i asked them took own self equipment and put back the rack.
After the student bath, wilson signed the cert and debrief the student and releast the student.
The whole process he took is just only 2 Hrs.
========================================
Thats wat he debrief me after our lesson.
He said I'm always too focus on basic, but too detail = waste time.
Tis is wat he suggest me to do.
1. Revisit / Recap
===========
-Back to basic (Good), but too basic or detailed = waste time.
- Dont teach a 2star like 1star. They are expected to know basics. Let them tell me what they know.
2. Buliding Blk
==========
Pupose: Break down the skills, trainees can learn/ pick up easily.
Once they mastered, NOT necessary to break down the skills anymore.
Good buliding blk, but too much details
Leave out " Good to know", always teach the " Must know" 1st.
3. Enviromental Awareness
===================
Improvement
a. Selection of ground
b. Asses weather / condition
c. Condusive learning for trainee.
These are basics as a L1 trainer suppose to know well.
4. Do more (TRAINEE) , Talk less (TRAINER)
==================================
At 2 star lvl, they do not required too much of thoery. We will confuse them if over feed.
5. Tell wat we know
==============
If we unsure, dont fake them. Finf out and answer. Else dun even touch on topics are not provide answer to they question.
6. To improve my lesson plan guide lines
=============================
> Revise 1star skills on day 1, it helps in day 2 expedition and revise/ add on if got time on final day.
7. Overall conclusion
===============
Improvement lesson plan, not forgetting building blk.
X- channel when expedition always try to aim for the shortest to closed over.
Select enviroment if weather or training ground affects lesson plan and be flexible.
Go back to take 1 star before take 2star again to improved my enviromental awareness and lesson requirement to the student further, it will help for my next 2star coaching.
Also re see the 2star coz one more time, and prepared for next coming attachment and assesment with wilson.
Jia u lol!!

-------------------------------
12 Jan 07 (Thursday) [Raining Day]
==========================
Morning 10am reached club, only saw a couples of trainer there. They was suprised that, how come i came to club today.
Joyce told them Aiyoh " Advance parties la" Asking rubbish haha.
After my breakfast, I went to do my final packing for my stuff. Meng teck came to club, abt 11.30am. We went to packed lunch.
After our lunch abt 12.30pm. Abt 1.30pm we loaded the sea kayak and Dancer to the bum boat "1206". Then once the bum boat move out frm our club ram, we immidate packed our things and went to custom for our passport admin stuff. After that we ambaked to the bum boat, we travel frm changi jetty toward pengalang jetty (Malaysia). We discovered the jetty is under construction, also so dangerous to the arriver coz is so narrow space.
We reached pengalang jetty abt 2.30pm, the OBS trainer also arrived the jetty at the same time. We shifted all the kayak and equipment up to jetty and waited for the malaysia lorry to be arrived. Those kayaks are: Short boat like Bandit, dancer, supersports, river playboat. Long boat like: Sea kayaks)
The lorry arrive abt 3.30pm, we shifted the kayak and equipment up to lorry, The taxi brought us to the town, we buy tibits and changed the cash into malaysia currency. Then we traveled towards ramunia direction. On the way, we saw lots of kampon stuff that cant see in s,pore.
We arrived Ramunia resort (Telok ramunia malaysia east coast aka south china sea). After the lorry arrived, we unloaded all the kayak and equipments. After we unloaded the stuff, the lorry went off, we start to arranged the kayak and things in place order.
After we tite the rope for bouyancy vest and place the equipments in order. We took a rest at the resort, while we rest we observed the beach. This yr the swell and break, although is big but much more gental then previous yr.
After that i followed song seng and meng teck went to the canteen, we arranged the participants rm. My rm is the best rm, coz got air con n TV. It shared with my juniors (Teng seng and eugene, but they only will arrive on next day.)
After the dinner, i went to my room watched TV. I also went to the canteen and brought myself a cup of coffee and storming haha. Abt 11.30pm i went to bed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
13 jan 06 (1st day or 4star refresher)
==========================
Morn wake up at 7.30am, went to canteen for breakfast. Went back to room watch Tv.
Abt 12.30pm, my grp came. We form a circle with a chair, we do our self intro with the trainer and participants, thenI approched my rm mate and ask them to brought our stuff to our rm.
After we setter down, we went for lunch. Then we gear up and check our own kayak, and brought them to our surfing lane on the beach.
Richard is our 4star refresher trainer, he set the surf zone flat for our surf zone.
--------------------------------------------------------
My partner is teng seng, his skills is great. Lance, Gion(OBS trainer) is my grp trainer. After he brief us wat to do.
1st: We do a launching our kayak dancer to the beach and coming ashore safely.
2nd: We went out and do 3 times continuous roll.
3rd: Capsize drill and towed the kayak back by the surf.
We took turn to do this on Sea kayak and Play boat: Dancer.
-----------------------------------------------------------
After we completed the both kayaks, we planned to kayak frm ramunia beach to the long beach ( South china sea)
But happened that, all my 1st an 2nd component good n perfect. Until come to the 3rd component, due to the powerful surf pulled my kayak, during my towing back to the shore. My rite finger was accidentally twisted, followed by cut in between the togger by the current.
After that i continued towed kayak back to the shore, i discovered my finger was dam and blood kept bleeding. Gion (OBS trainer) asked me am i okay? I replied is okay dont worry, i seek for 1st AID.
I ran to the 1st aid tentage, to asked for treatment. After the treatment frm Liew, I went back to the beach. Evryone was gathered together for the briefing abt the beach management. Mengteck asked me, are u able to continue? I replied him of coz i can. He asked me are u sure?! I relied ya i ready for the expedition.
Mengteck asked me to holded back and followed him, then the rest move on lauched off with beach fleet management. Me and Meng teck grp, carried the kayak and paddle take the pick up to the long beach.
When we reached the long beach, after we unloaded the kayak. The rest of them, havent reached. I was at the surf beach, picked the sea cell. Abt 30 mins later, i saw the rest paddled at the reef. The rest was stuck at the reef a long time, due to the waves and current strong and 2 kayakers were motion sick.
They took abt 20 mins to reached the surf beach, and after the beach fleet management and everyone launch the surf beach. We frm 3 grp become 2 grps, each grp 10 pax.
----------------------------------------------------
I was back to my partner teng seng. After lance brief us wat to do on long beach, we start our component.
1st grp
-------
Using sea kayak (Long boat) to continue the 3 task frm the ramunia beach.
2nd grp
-------
Using play boat
1st: Swimmer to kayak (Capsize with failed eskimo roll, the swimmer frick over the kayak)
2nd: Kayak to swimmer (Tow the victim frm the back of kayak, and tow back to shore)
When we tow back one another to the shore, the surf was catching up. So our kayak, is very rocky and surf on the way to the shore.
--------------------------------------------
After our drill, Lance discovered the time is almost up. So we stopped all the drill.
Meng teck was drive the pick-up and we carried all the eqipment up to the pick-up, we were went for 3 trips. After the 2nd trip all the kayak has went back to the resorts, we decided to walked all the way back to the resorts. Frm long beach to Ramunia resorts is abt 8km.
We were walked on the road, meng teck he drive his car to brought us back to resort.
We reached the resorts is abt 6pm, after our bath and dinner is abt 8pm.
I went back to resort to watched TV and the rest continue at the canteen, playing games and entertained them self.
Abt 8.30pm, we been called back to canteen. And debrief today events, and we told tat tis 4star refresher coz is also a selection for the 5 star open sea kayaking awards coz. Also brief abt tmr rescue at the long beach cum expedition.
-------------------------------------------------
Requirement of 5star

1. When lauching off or coming in to shore, it have to be smooth and w.o any difficulties
2. Also have to be select the rite wave to surf in. Example: Able to surf in damping wave and swell.
3. The rescue have to be efficient and safe.
-----------------------------------------------
After that we went back to room and rest and i slp at 9.20pm.
----------------------------------------
14 Jan07 (2nd days of 4star refresher)
============================
Morning woke up at 7am, I discovered that my rite middle finger cant function well. Coz of the yesterday hurt. So i decided to not went for the coz. After i see the OBS medical attention and breakfast, i went back to rm and took a rest.
But something happened, the electrical down due to the floaded n the electrical station were collapes at johor. Wah pean!! I were rotten at ourside the rm and lots of mosqitos kept attacking me.
So abt 10am, i decided to go and find Liew (Obs trainer who hold Lvl 5 kayaking coach), went there and chit chat with him. I learned something frm him abt the wave formed.
-------------------------------
Wat i learned frm him during the conversation.
1. When the wave get smaller is becoz of outside (tide race = when the tide go against direction of the wind). That will break the momenten of the swell.
2. When spring tide occur, the wave will be much more nicer and may lesser dumping waves.
3. When we surfing, our body lean back will slow down the kayak. Also when our body lean forward, will lead the kayak surf even faster.
4. When kayak speed picking up too slow, that also will lead the wave over lifted the kayak stern and capsize.
5. Also got to know frm them, our water lvl is alway rised every 5 to 10 yrs. That also will coz our land erosion, due to wave keep smashing the land sand back to the sea. Tats the reason why we need to put the rock on the side of the beach.
---------------------------------------------------------
Abt 11.30am everyone were returned frm the long beach, so i went for lunch with them when after they setter down.
During the lunch mengteck told us. After the breaker where the big great walls, the swell was good. Some of them knew it, when they able to went acrossed the big waves. They rather to surf at the swell zone, rather than the breakzone. Also heard frm the rest, the long beach surf were high and steep like a big great walls.
After lunch, I discovered my finger got better. I decided returned with them to the long beach, so i told lance i will be back for training. Abt 1.30pm, we took the pickup back to the long beach. I went back to my partner, and we continue to do our kayak surfing.
Abt me, I was kayak with my painful fingers. I used all my left hand skills to surf the waves, but couldn't surf well. Coz I'm the rite master handed. So i got no choice, need to really check and make sure choose the waves, able to break frm my rite hand side. So i can placed my stern rudder to the left, and lots of time i used edging to controlled my kayak direction.
-------------------------------------------------
A few incident happened during my surfing.
1. Wave suddenly changed of breaking direction and hit my kayak hull, and then capsize.
2. Wave suddenly break frm my back, so lifted up my back of the kayak. I almost got slammed to the shallow ground. During my kayak at the vertical position on the waves, also i need to reacted faster, to put my paddle in the high recovery position.
And then i turned my body and the kayak turn face the sea side. Then my kayak drop back on the sea and mainten in the recovery position.
3. When i capsized and recovery my boat, i checked actually was no wave. But suddenly, the next sudden incoming waves push my kayak back to capsize position.
4. I was lost my paddle, during surfing in the dumping waves due to the shocking hit. But i only left my boat with me, so i use my body to adge my kayak deck facing towards the waves, and then let the kayak guide by the wave back to the shore. (Bongo slide)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abt my partner teng seng!
---------------------------
1. He can surf very well, then me!
2. But he cant do his adging well. coz of he injured his knee and back, b4 this kayaking trip.
3. He cant rolled well mostly coz of he not feeling well. So most of the time, i need to help him to recovered his boat, when he capsize on the sand beach.
-------------------------------------------------------------
After awhile, the Jacop(Holding L4 coach in river n sea) gathered every one. He shared with us, how to minimise ourself frm capsize during the surfing. Also how to mainten in our surf lane position more accurately.
---------------------------
While surfing, how to minmise capsize and wrong lane.
-------------------------------------------
1. Alway check where is the swell move to. (Diagonal surfing)
Eg: Right hand wave: When swell moving more towards the surfer rite hand side.
Also breaking wave towards surfer left hand side.
Left hand wave: The swell and breaking wave, is move towards opposite direction of the
surfer.
This is to check make sure we ourself minimise to surf toward other lanes.
2. Check n feel where is the break while surfing.
Eg: Left hand breaking wave: Always adge the kayak deck facing the wave breakin direction, So
that will much more stable and not capsize.
Right hand breaking wave is opposite.
3. Aggrasive and diffensive surf.
Diffensive surfing: paddle and power face, facing the breaking waves, kayak deck adge towards the breaking waves (Bongo slide, side surfing or "+" adging)
Aggrasive surfing: Kayak adge towards the wave, stern rudder opposite the breaking waves ( Diagonal surfing, straight surfing or "-" adging)
If both side of the kayak got breaking waves, dont need to adge anymore just keep the kayak flat. The kayak will surf nicely too, these mostly applied in dumping waves.
Conclusion: It depends how the waves break, not necessary must adge the kayak all times.
------------------------------------------------------------------
After that we back to surfing, this time everyone finally got the technics frm there. Capsize rate was lower now, and everyone has improved. Me and my partner was able to recovered better, when our kayak on vertical position by lifted up frm the wave.
Times up again, this time Meng teck, he shifted all the long boat quietly back to resort 1st. When he back left our play boat only. This time he one shot brought our playboat back to resort.
We reached the resorts abt 6pm, after we bathed i n my room mate were watching tv at the resort. Abt 7pm, we went for our dinner and debrief.
Our debrief said tat most of us has improve the surfing area, but have to improved more on our lanching off frm the beach. Most of us still crushed with directly the breaking waves and pushed back by the waves.
After the debrief, I was back to my rm and continue my TV. And the rest of them gathered at the other rm chit chatting and playing games. Me, tengseng and eugene were in our own room.
we slpt at 11.30pm. =D
----------------------------------------
15 jan07 (Final day of 4star refresher)
============================
Morning woke up at 7am, so happee found out my rite middle finger has recovered better.
After my breakfast, i went to find the medic for the plaster for my middle finger cut, then gear up. We were brought diff boat to the ramunia resort beach.
Me and my partner still decided to used back the kayak " Dancer".
The waves was slightly smaller then passed to days, me went out 1st.
For today, we did something diff. We decided to lauched of the kayak by our own, but when before i went out, one of the swell suddently appeared in front of my and breaked. I was got washed badly back to the shore a few times, lucky the surf were slow down and smaller this time, i manage to punch out w.o any prob.
I did caught a few surf, but my nite mare was back again. I caught a big surf, but suddenly became a dumping waves, it given my a sudden pin my dancer kayak tip, hit the sallow ground and I spoiled the foot rest and it give way into the kayak.
After my foot rest and my spray covered give way, i rolled back my kayak. I used the diffensive surf to brought back my kayak to shore, the trainer gion was in front of me and asked me am i okay! I replied him ya is nothing to me, but just another nitemare. This also happened during my 4star coz during 3 yrs ago.
Then Mengteck came to me and said, i broke the footrest that means i still no good. He suggest me if want to choose a big surf, i got to pick up my kayak speed 1st. Else i will surely got pined by the waves. The best is speed can my the same as the waves.
My partner, tengsheng was immidately tap my head, and said wah lau why i spoiled the foot rest.. ma de !! Mengteck was laughing at me. but he mention that, i got the brave to surf in the such of dumping wave, is consider very good le. It just only i nver lean back the kayak on time, tats why i got pined badly.
After that, mengteck asked me to changed a shorter kayak (Bandit). Tis craft has a shorter length, and high rocker at the both end. After i and my partner surf the bandit, we both agreed that dont matter wat, bandit kayak still much more ez to catched the surf than other long kayaks.
-------------------------------------------------
Conclusion: The longer of the boat, in other to picked the surf, we have to pick up speed earlier than the shorter boat, so that can get a sucessful surfing.
Also when the kayak back lifted up, rem to trim back our body. So that the kayak can surf safely w.o got pin by the steep wave. Especially applied towards " Dumping waves"
----------------------------------------------
Note:
-----
Dumping waves: Occur in sallow or steep beach, the wave it look like a big steep flat walls, with heavy drop of the crest. (Not suitable and dangerous to all kayakers and surfer) It know as highest waves on the surf beach
Surging waves: Occur only in flat beach with deep water, it will appear in swell also. nice and gental break. (Very nice for surfing and kayaker) The second highest of the waves.
Swell: It know as wave w/o break, it created my wind speed at least force 3 and above. The higher of the force reading of the wind, the higher of the swell. It only happen in the deep water, which before the " suging wave and dumping waves" (Best selection for picked up kayak for the initial surfing speed)
The wave movement will be always " Swell" followed by "Surging waves" then "dumping waves".
-----------------------------------------------------
Abt 11.30am, we stopped our activities. Washed the boat, packed the rm followed by had our lunch. After we debrief and get our metrics, we took our taxi back to pangalang jetty and take the bum boat back to changi jetty. We were arrived changi at abt 4.30pm.
I took bus to compass point, and change my money back to singapore currency, reach hm abt 6.30pm.
Abt 8pm i went for my TKD training, i was looked tired and i still can followed the training well. We were doing target sparring , followed by i guide my junior the Tae kwon do patterns. Coz on next sat is they are promotion grading le.
Reached hm abt 10.30pm, and i slp at 12am.
Frm Dancer!!
