One of my favorite facilitators. Not because she gives me good grades but because of her experience. Honestly I missed all my facilitators’ introduction about themselves cos I came late during the first week for all modules. But I read up a bit on her on rp.edu.sg and she has close to 10 years of experience in the fitness industry having positions of being trainer of trainers, a personal trainer and even as the Fitness Director for international franchise gyms like Gold's Gym and World Gym in Taiwan! That’s why I always spell ‘RESPECT’ in her class. I did share with her I wanted to be a personal trainer (after I know I give up doing forensic science in Singapore) and she was willing to help me out in whatever way she can. & in addition, she speaks good, fluent English although it’s very cute to hear her make some mistakes in class. And her grading is unbiased and very strict actually. And oh! She graduated with Masters in university of Liverpool. :D
E25D – Sports & Exercise Nutrition – Jenny Ng
Another favourite of mine because I like her name a lot. Lol. Actually I like names starting with J and coincidentally The Killers have a song based on her name – ‘Jenny Was a Friend Of Mine’ which I love a lot too.
Anyway, this lady is small in size though the photo they have of her online prove her injustice. And she’s got great hair dye. It’s like red dye hidden under the black and you can only see it under shades of light. I told her once I love her hair and she was quick to say, ‘you can have it’. Haha. But she was nice to advise me about my dad cos I told her bits and pieces bout my parents cos they’re the reason why I don’t have my hair dyed. Honestly, I would choose red as my colour too. Hehe. Anw, Jenny’s really easy-going I feel. She laughed with tears out twice; once when Ah Beng said "Tom & Jerry" when he wanted to say "Ben & Jerry’s" in 5A, and another was when she noticed Mimi’s mini afro hair was ‘cleaning’ the whiteboard. But one thing's scary bout her is when she changes her facial expressions whenever we present our work.
E25F – Sports & Exercise Psychology – Lilian ChuaShe was a familiar face to me though I’ve never seen her before until I remembered she looks like ms Cai! That was why I had a tiny feeling of hatred though she’s quite nice as a person. I always get A for her class except once when I missed the first meeting. I think its because I’m always proactive in class and my RJ is quite ‘reflective’ and most times I would apply whatever I’ve learnt on my netball girls since there’s always training after class.
E25A – Anatomy & physiology – Alex Ong
Alex made a fool out of me during the first lesson la just because I was late. He wanted me to greet and apologize to the whole class for being late even though I didn’t affect the happenings in class la. I’ve been doing that every lesson and I still forget to apologize TO the class. He specializes in biomechanics actually and he’s not really an expert in the module. I appreciate his initiative of taking up the module for us because there wasn’t any volunteers from the SAS who wanted to do so for SHL since it’s their course. He taught in RI before and he’s as complicated as them. He said he’s a man of few words, but boy, he’s got many sentences always. And I think he’s the oldest among all my facilitator.
E25D – first friends I made was of course from my team la. Jessica, Janine, Ray & Russell. Yeah. I was the odd one whose name starts with W. but hell, Jessica is fun-loving and sometimes bitchy (I loike) from an IJ, i forgot which but it was definately a girls' sch. She’s smart la, can be a little lazy, but I love her presentation style. Ray’s this lamer guy whom she hates most, and everyone knows that. Honestly, I dun have a liking for him either cos he always smoke his way through presentation, and its pretty obvious he doesn’t know his stuff. The other girls are Kieren (or J for short), Jesslyn, Shayna, Yuan Ping who have very similar characters to Jess. I love our Sportswoman of the Year, Rena, during Nutrition class. She’s quite on about finishing the work fast but I dun see that much in prescription la. Haha. Some other girls like Yu Xin, Kui Mei, Olivia & Hidayah and whom I’m not close with but I love Hidayah’s presentation style. She just doesn’t wanna speak up during class discussions la which is wasted. And oh! There’s Kelly, from yr 3 Dragons, in prescription also. She’s a bit quiet la but she’s quite fun I feel. And that reminds me of this irritating yr 3 in prescription olso. She made a bad impression to the whole class since day one with her 'Errs' and 'Erms'. & not forgetting the guys in D! there’s Ben, Kelvin, Ivor, Kok Hui, Dude, Mimi, Vernold and I dun think there’s anymore. The first 3 guys are the most active ppl I feel but Ivor has one of the best presentation styles and very smart too, and surprisingly, he stays arnd my area though I’ve NEVER seen him before. Dude can say to be one of the cutest but he’s kinda quiet (sadly, he’s not a geek). Vernold’s new haircut (botak) suits him better. Rather ok-looking and captain for men’s floorball. Kok hui is a Nerd and nerds are nice to have in a group. Overall, I find the class OK but the participation could be more.
E25A – Anatomy!! I have only one group so far and I LOVE THEM! Ok, exaggerated. I love the team work we have la. We’re always the first group to be full (of the members). I was made a fool during my first lesson and since I was new to the class, I went straight to the only face familiar in the class – Nigel! He’s in the national Men’s Netball team. I only knew him by face then. There’s also Stella, Dini & Saket (some say he’s really sakit to them, like literally, cos he brags). My group's quite hardworking la but sometimes we drag time too long till we cant finish work on time. I’m known in this class by the word ‘itself’ cos I always end my lines with that during presentation. And the people who started calling me that were none other than Thevan and another guy from ACS (who’s 22, attractive in a way, and scored a full 4 for his GPA for year 1!& sadly i forgot his name). There is a mutual dislike for John cos he’s always trying to lick the boots of their facis and he makes stupid remarks in class. He’s the oldest in class at 26 anyway. Danica and Fadillah are 2 crazy girls the class have and I do love them actually. And oh! Nigel has a ‘twin’ in class – Natheniel! It’s cos they have the same frequency (they really do have the same thoughts although one doesn’t say it out, the other will say so after awhile). Both actually went for a piercing…at their penis! Crazy la! I didn’t believe at first but they're gonna prove by showing pics by end of sem. Then again, if its just a pic, they can just get it off the net rite? The class is loud, and even funnier if Ah beng is around.
E25F – its my core module but for the rest of the class, this is an elective to them. Most are from SAS, a few from SHL. And Elyas is in my class la, and best thing, my group. He’s a funny dude. Denniz and Estella are fun to work with, very cooperative and estella’s very hardworking. Haisacc’s from yr 3, very extroverted and hates Kenneth (the loudmouth who really doesn’t know his place most times). Kenneth’s always picking an argument with Linie (floorball). And apparently, she dislikes his loudmouth too, but they came twice to school together after getting breakfast from deliFrance. Estallah’s old classmates, mildred, loga & allson are nice people & mildred has a good touch with photoshop which she makes good use of for the powerpoint presentation. I quite like the class cos almost everyone is proactive.
