Wake up early in the morning just to get red roses from toa payoh and head down to school to accompany baby during her break. After which is stoning in the library for 3 hours and cab down to work together. Tomorrow we’ll be having UT for physiology and anatomy and I can predict it will be a killer sure die test!
Oh anyway just realized some very funny situation again, hahaha! Ok it’s with regards to my diploma that I’m taking which is Sports and Exercise Science. Alright, I do know that it’s pretty new in Singapore and people don’t really know what we study about so we can’t blame them. Ok there it goes.
During Chinese New Year when I’ll get to meet some of my relatives, and we will chit chat, so they will ask the standard questions. “ oh so now how old already ar? Wah very tall hor?! ‘’ ok and yada yada. Here comes the funny part.
Relative: ‘’ oh so what course you’re studying right now ?’’
Me: ‘’ sports and exercise science lor’’
Relative: ‘’ sports ar ? ‘’
Me: ‘’ yeah sports and EXERCISE SCIENCE’’
Relative: ‘’ oh sports exercise ! ‘’
Me: ‘’ Errrrr, yah something sort of.’’ Aiya hana whatever ( silently thinking in my heart)
Relative: ‘’ oh so next time be gym instructor la?
Me: ‘’ Errr, no.’’ WTF what gym instructor wah lao eh , ok la partially correct. =)
Me: ‘’ Er… it’s about sports science like study about gait analysis or develop lactic training all this like of stuff’’
Relative: Gave the stunned face ‘’ Ohhh I thought gym instructor lol ‘’
Ok and the convosation goes on and on and on, the point which I want to stress is that please don’t act like you know when you don’t even know about anything. It will just make you sound stupid. Haha ! I’m not saying that they are wrong hahaha ! ok la I know I’m a bit blunt but it’s so true, because 9 out of ten people don’t know what the hell I’m studying about and they will just assume and act like they know and it’s like so funny to me. Haha ! SO just for your information.
The Diploma in Sports & Exercise Sciences (DSES) aims to support the needs of the growing sports and fitness/health industries. It seeks to adopt a multi-disciplinary approach in the study of various sports and exercise science areas. With this diploma, you will be equipped with a strong foundation in sports performance and exercise/fitness settings.
With Singapore aiming to be one of the top ten sporting nations in Asia, there will be a need for more sports science specialists to help enhance the performance of competitive athletes. Furthermore, there is a growing fitness and wellness industry which leads to a need for well-trained fitness and personal trainers.
Graduates of the DSES Sports Performance Specialisation may find jobs in the following types of companies and organisations: Singapore Sports Council, National Sports Associations, golf & country clubs/resorts, sports & recreation clubs, fitness centres/gyms, schools & institutions, private sports coaching schools, sports service providers (outsourced partners with SSC and schools), health & wellness centres, HR departments in organisations (especially in workplace health promotion) , sports retail shops (such as nutrition stores, apparel stores), fitness equipment & supplies companies, fitness & health promotion service providers, hospitals & physical rehabilitation centres, child development centres (motor/physical development), and so on.
Ok, so now you people understand? Great! Remember it just in case in future you so happen to bump into a friend or relative or who so ever which is in the sports industry or perusing some similar course! Time to sleep! Ta ta ! =)
