"Coach gave me this nickname in his Class"

Tonight swim was fun. Coach lost his voice on toasting after attending a Sat Wedding dinner of his trainees from Tuesday class, and he asked me to be his interpreter for the night:- "OK, English to English huh!" I readily and happily agreed. Hmm actually not so much of a interpreter lah, just to repeat his instructions.

He gave instructions what we would be doing tonight and that we would have a relay race after 8pm, so I repeated after him words for words. One part regarding about today being the last lesson and there would be no lesson next Monday; as he was afraid some of us may turn up, thus he uttered to me softly:-"Henry, this part you must said it loud make sure they hear you; some idiots do not listen. Next Monday no class, tonight last ..........." Before he could finish I repeated after him:- "Hey you listen huh; some "IDIOT" do not listen; next week no class huh, Ooooops!!" I turned to Coach: "Sorry huh Coach, 'You idiot' cannot say hor?" and we laughed.....I was poking him and "sabo" him hahaha...!!!

Tonight I "kung ho" a bit. I volunteered myself to be first swimmer in my home lane 2 and lead in the drill and long swim all the way for the night. After the long swim we have relay race, it was fun......!!
