Today, i went to east point green to teach this korean violent abusive boy.

Let me give you some tips if you need to scare/chase a tutor away. (incidentally, this is how he treated me)

1. Use a myriad of stationery that he could find on his study table and started scribbling all over my arm. In the end, he found out that only blue felt pen and yellow highlighter works, so blue and yellow inks can still be seen on my arm now. Felt damn aik boon when i took the bus.

2. I offered him sweets for the 2nd time. This time, he grew smarter, rejected all my sweets and pointed into his mouth telling me that sweets and jellies will give you toothaches and stuff. TSK - to yt dawn and sw who told me that kids are easily fooled by sweets.

3. He forced me to sit at this corner of his room whereby i cant see him before he starts writing. Damn sad la, where got teacher kena forced to sit at the corner one.

4. He stood on the chair, (fyi: he's not that thin; im not that strong) looked at me and shouted and the next thing i know, he pranced on me and clung to me like some koala. The worst part, he started head banging me continuously until i gave my pitiful pls-dont-hit-the-teacher look. Omg, as i type, im feeling more and more shi1 bai4 as a teacher.

5. Today, he kept rejecting me and tell me, "i dont want a teacher. teacher go teacher go". Okay, apparently his previous teacher was being rejected by him too. Felt so sorry for myself, wake up so early, only to get chased away by a student.

Okay, enough tips for the day. Will get back to blog about more when i see him tmr morning, oh my tian.

Anyway, after horrible tuition with the korean kiddo, i met up with the happiest boy alive. Lol literally i mean, since mr happy is out of course at the moment. Chatted with him for so long that i decided to go to my pasir ris tuition straight. Lets count, er 5 hours chat leh. Shit, i think yuting see this jealous liao. DONT WORRY BABA, u go take picture with ann, send me then u can talk to jerrold liao. HAHAHAHA, shit la, who the hell is emo rocker ann. Sounds damn hot lol.

Went for the pasir ris tuition and met the boss amidst tuition. From GP teacher to chatty msn-er to lame blogger, haha really no image liao! Thanks for the sms-es also otherwise my 1+hour ride home will be as boring as usual.

Okay, tmr will be another long day.
Ciao.

I think the flower on my butt just bloomed. (pi4 gu3 kai1 hua1)

Anyway, putting my physical injuries like a super painful butt and my aching back aside, it's really time for me to train my stamina! I shant be contented with the 10laps/day routine cos cycling to changi village to and fro - 20km as est, is draining my stamina! Gosh, and i havent cycled in a year or so.

But woohoo, at least i managed to cycle to and fro before succumbing to the cab at ecp macs at 4am ahha. Way to go, shall make use of my holidays to start gearing up my body before entering uni!

Lesson to be learnt: Never cycle with a pro cyclist, you'll be dumped behind feeling lost and helpless in the middle of the night when u think that u've seen something/someone that/whom others didnt see.

Thanks 5ambuddy for the tuition!

Oh my oh my, it's indeed 5 am now. Needa get some rest for my popular shopping/tuition/etrialtest tmr, oops i meant later. Bye!

Finally, if ure observant, you'll realise that the crumpler on my wishlish is finally striked! Woo, yes i just bought a brown crumpler last saturday after borrowing money from my sisters, mother and friends. Haha so now i really can't wait for my pay! The cool thing about being a tutor is that your pay doesnt only come at the end of the month, throughout the month to be accurate. And finally, i think i've enough students on hand which is good but sometimes i feel like teaching higher levels math/geog otherwise im afraid i'll slowly degenerate teaching about solar systems, cells, k2 english, decimals and area of triangles lol.

Finally, finally.

Rachael Yamagata's songs are the perfect night music if you're seeking a calm, peaceful night.

Even So - Rachael Yamagata
You're gonna hate me when I tell you everything
You're gonna question whether you really know me at all
You will revisit every smile, and where it fit into the day
I know this is how it will play
And I try, oh I try to think of all the things
That I could do to let you know that I love

Even so

I was not looking to do you wrong
Was not looking for a change of scenery
Don't remember where, or when, or how I did
But I'm hoping you'll forgive me
And I try, oh I try to think of all the things
That I could do to let you know that I love you

Gotta prepare for my next tuition, bye.
























































































Pictures taken while tanning.

Finally, today i had the time to tan for about 1.5 hr and even had the time to swam 20laps. Exercise is the only way to spend my current life meaningfully before i get back the results, oh boy, they're mortifying. And sorry 5am buddy for the miscommunication and you're not online!

Gastric almost took my life for the past two days. Waking up at 4am in the morning, screaming silently, with my hands clutching my stomach really tightly and my legs twisted in the weirdest manner ever, that's how i survived the night, not forgetting the 10trips/day to the toilet cos my gastric was incoporated with mini diarrhoea or mls.

BUT i think im fine now! YAY.

Labels: really random

I'm feeling kinda dejected. My major client just dropped me - 600bucks lesser/month.
And i purposely accepted another assignment that's beside the major client, in the end, now i have to travel over an hour to pasir ris to meet a less major client of mine. Ugh.

这感觉　已经不对　我努力在挽回
一些些　应该体贴的感觉　我没给
你嘟嘴　许的愿望很卑微　在妥协
是我忽略　你不过要人陪

The worst movie i thought i've seen this year (okay, this is my first movie this year).

BUT the reviews were so good, omg, i thought the shaky images and super no story line movie really sucked, but the other reviews proved otherwise. Gosh! But if ure planning to watch, pls stay back for the credits.

Yay! Glad that i did more shopping done today despite the gargantuan crowd roaming about at every corner of bugis street.

1 Gior Skinnies that's black and faded.
1 neckermann sandals.
1 top.

Sounds alot lesser than ytd's shopping but i spent more): Well its okay! At least i know i've got clothes for this new year woo.

Time for a swim, argh im feeling tired already. I hope shuwei reads this by tonight and decides not to go for the ntu talk tmr since the business talk is only interactive sesssion, sian sian sian!

9 pieces of bonjour milk bread.

Omfg, i cant believe i finished all that in one day.

One pair of havis (which should be fake),
2 vintage tees,
1 shirt,
1 belt,
1 black skinnies,
3 studs.

$95.

GOOOD DEAL RIGHT. Woo, the shopping with fellow sagittarian at bugis village was great.

& Finally, i've gotten rid of the camera.

Hello MELEE!

Alrighto, such a lazy day, cant believe i slept away my morning. Wanted to go and swim or run but im just not in the exercise mood rah. Okay, hopefully i get to buy some nice ny clothes with sw at bugis later.

Bye.

For my 5am buddy (who used to be 4am), thanks for wuliao-ing with me and pouring dialects and censored stuff into my empty ears. I know your ear drums are already spoilt since u listen to hardcore rock music so u cant absorb anything i say which is good, so i can continue ranting about anything under the sun, from horrorscopes to cigarettes. And YESYESYES, goodnight, i shall be off to bed before 5am lol.

$6.

3.5 hours.

That's the amount of money and time i spent on my second home today - the sbs buses.

To think of it, the transportation cost is kinda hefty actually. Really bad for a tutor who earns half of the total pay she worked for the first month. And i met really strict parents today who scared me off quite a bit. Im glad my parents were never so uptight about my education and that's really really good. Woo, they're really scary, i hope my fellow tutor mates wouldnt have to entertain such parents.

Ciao.

A series of unfortunate events happened today.

1. I reached the bayshore at 240 to give tuition to a kindergarten korean kiddo. I waited for 1 whole freaking hour, only to learn that the mom and the boy were SWIMMING?! WLAO, i waited for so long they go swim? Gao shen me??! Then, nevermind, the mom called me like at 345 to tell me that they had moved from the bayshore to costa del sol? So its like i waited for 1 hr at the wrong place?? Okay, nevermind so i went to costa to teach for half an hour.

2. When i left costa, it was really pouring. Nevermind, i decided to save money and took a 5min walk to the bus stop. The 5 minutes were like neverending, cos it was raining sooo freaking heavily! My lower half body was fully drenched and the brolly i was holding seemed to be flying off with the wind anytime! Had to pray and waddle through the floods before reaching the bus stop.

3. I reached the bus stop already, and luckily the bus came soon! Phew. But i think i too kan chiong, the bus door havent open i stepped out of the sheltered bus stop.

One small step for man, one giant step for mankind.

OMFG, 3/4 of my head was like fully drenched like a 10m tall wave crashed on me. So i got up the bus in a super lang1 bei4 manner, imagine a girl with water dripping down her hair furiously, specs with millions of water droplets all over the lens, holding a half closed umbrella. That was me.

4. So i reached my bus stop, was supposed to take another bus and walk to the bus stop further down. But i was already late for my 2nd tuition for the day, so i decided to cab instead. I waited for about 5 minutes, only to realised that there's this irritating guy who stood infront of me and stole my cab!! Nevermind, i decided to continue waiting. THEN GUESS WHAT? This old woman who was hunching was with another middle aged woman. HELLO, how can i fight with an 80 old woman right? So since i was already drenched, i crossed the road to wait for the cab opposite. Damn cab snatchers! I swore they saw the drenched me standing there waving for a cab. Rah.

5. And finally, i reached the student's house. Waited for another 5 minutes before they opened the door and let me in. OMG one more time, the first qn about p1 chinese is HAN YU PING YIN. And there were those aeiou with the four different shengs1. That's like super ancient stuff, wanted to call my mom to seek for help with the pronounciations cos i hate those hypy. And i really wanted to give up la. The worst day of my tutor life. Sigh.

Finally my troubles ended, i bet no one had the patience to read what ive been through for the day man. Oh boy, i really needa bring a super chao dua brolly next time. Damn, ciao.

Ohnooo, after reading the scrapbk miss zhang wenhui gave me, im smiling like an idiot and cant fall asleep at this weird hour. haha that's a good thing though. Thanks alot for putting sooooo much effort into the scrapbook and the 2 songs u sang for us on farewell(: It's really good to keep a diary ah, u can remember all the events and those mini little details that i forgot already, but these little details are the important stuff that we should really put in our hearts(:

Just went out with the geog girls EXCEPT FOR PIAO!(who abandoned us for her sec four classmates). Really great to meet up again and i think we chatted for quite a bit, and i realised im getting more extroverted when i go out these days particuarly because i have no one to chat to at home/i cant chat to the tuition kids/im too lazy to make phone calls/i play games i download from yahoo all day long/i watch numb3rs.

We MUST meet up for qq's bday, i seriously hope that As results will come out after her bday. I feel so at peace now, there's nothing for me to worry about in the coming month. Okay, maybe i needa worry about getting more students, speaking of which, im signing up at a few more online agencies now. Getting 2 students a week is really slow, and ive got tons of stuff that i needa buy!!! Help! And i gotta give my sister a treat for her when she gets back, haha i guess she doesnt read this anyway.

alright, i realised im not in the blogging mood these days so i guess no one checks this out anymore. Oh well, just put these little details here so i can read in 10years down the road, and dont worry miss zhang wenhui! I will keep this URL so u can check it 10 years down the road(: And write me another scrapbk in 10 years hahaha shit i feel so mean, didnt do anything for u but really thanks alot!!!(:

Why, do you always do this to me?
Why, couldn't you just see through me?
How come, you act like this
Like you just don't care at all

Do you expect me to believe I was the only one to fall?
I could feel I could feel you near me, even though you're far away
I could feel I could feel you baby, why

Hey, listen to what we're not saying
Let's play, a different game than what we're playing
Try, to look at me and really see my heart

Do you expect me to believe I'm gonna let us fall apart?
I could feel I could feel you near me, even when you're far away
I could feel I could feel you baby, why

Labels: why

I saw you there last night
Standing in the dark
You were acting so in love
With your hand upon his heart

But you were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one

I've had other options too
But all I want is you
Girl your body fits me like a glove
And you shower me with words of love

While you were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one

It's not my style to lay it in on the line
But you don't leave me with a choice this time
Why weren't you true?
You know I trusted you

When you were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one

Gavin Degraw is really great.

Damn.Its been a long time since there were prob with my dailies, and because i wore one of it the wrong side, i just did an eye anatomy, plucked the contact out of my eye and go around searching for the excess protein. Now my eye's like a mini basketball, rah and i'll be late meeting the usuals later. Grr, punctuality is supposed to be my forte now! haha. And damn the stupid rain, i already dressed up for gym, went down to the lobby and found out the rain's still pretty heavy so i went home and changed out. Yucks, im degenerating. Sorry for the crappy entry, needed to get my mind off my contacts when im only wearing the left contact now.

And finally... I've received my first assignment - a korean kid who just got to Singapore and he/she's going for his/her p4 entry test soon! Fortunately, i've sent my resumes to like more than 5 online tuition agencies, and i might even work in a primary school in pasir ris!(: The pay's kinda good too but the drawbacks are 1) an interview, 2) a class of 30 over p6 kids and last but not least 3) SCIENCE.

Yes yes i dread science actually, and i actually got a C for PSLE. Let's hope the parents wont question me about that and in the meanwhile, i shall go mug some p3 science textbook for the koreankiddo tmr. Whoops, im glad i didnt take up any admin job although a tutor is kinda stressful too.

Alright, im feeling good now, shall end it here then.

Im frustrated. I really feel like giving tuiton now leh, but how come those stupid online tuition agency dont give me assignments!! Anyway if u know of any p school students who need tuition OR sec1&2 students who need math/geog tuition, PLEASE CONTACT ME! Best if they reside in the east(:

Damn. Why isnt PS I Love You screening in the Singapore Cinemas? Only UK US S Korea and Ireland leh. Tmd, or to quote faith, what SIA!

The pictures are up!! (:

If you're a lyric fan(definitely not piao who only likes drums and recently got hooked up with her fiddle) like me, please check out the following songs!

Goo Goo Dolls - Better Days

And you ask me what i want this year
and i try to make this good and clear
just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

cause i don't need boxes wrapped in strings
and designer love and empty things,
just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

so take these words
and sing out loud
cause everyone is forgiven now
cause tonight's the night the world begins again

and its someplace simple where we could live
and something only you can give
and let's faith and trust and peace while we're alive

and the one poor child who saved this world
and there's 10 million more who probably could
if we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

i wish everyone was loved tonight
and somehow stop this endless fight
just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

cause tonight's the night the world begins again

Mika - Happy Ending

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

Wake up in the morning, stumble on my life
Can't get no love without sacrifice
If anything should happen, I guess I wish you well
A little bit of heaven, but a little bit of hell

This is the hardest story that I've ever told
No hope, or love, or glory
Happy endings gone forever more
I feel as if I feel as if I'm wasted
And I'm wastin' everyday

Alright, shall head to build another theme park now!

And yes, it's the start of a brand new year.

This year is absolutely different from the past 18 years i've spent.
No more sulking about heading back to school; no more stress from the pile of homework that will be collecting dust at a corner of my table; no more worrying about O's/A's.

BUT, im really sad cos im no longer considered a student. No more 45cents for my bus fare. Think i spent about $3+ on the bus today in just a few hours. As jerrold would say, HORRID! Anyway, we had the countdown yesterday at oliver's. Feel quite bad cos we didnt manage to finish the ultra lots of food that his parents prepared. But it was still kinda fun especially when we counted down for the new year and shun bian celebrated wee ba's bday. Oh gosh, think i've lost the blogging mood after As. Everything's super simplified now. I'll let the photos do the job once i get them from the baba.

And today, i had kushinbo for the first time! Super costly and fattening but still quite an experience for me! Had my first sashimi in 18 years. But i dont understand why ppl like zha and kong like it so much cos the taste isnt super strong (or maybe i added too much wasabi). Okay, the point is, on the first day of the year, im super fat already, i hope this isnt a sign!!

OMG! And for the first time in a million years, i actually won (4 tai) during e mahjong game! Partly because we didnt wash the tiles properly and the other guys were tired. Yes yes, speaking of guys, NS guys are so crude and vulgar! (referring to hp!) The nice, polite, helpful hp has transformed into a shorter tortoise who uses all kinds of crudo lingo! So now im afraid of offending him cos he looks like he'll throw me down the window or something(recalls the mini h2h talk we had aft mahjong at 6am).

Last great news of the day: I went to my neighbour's house the day before ytd to see the house cos she's trying to sell it, the seaview is amazing! Partly because i've been living in my minislum for about 1.5 years already. And that apartment is twice the size of my minislum im residing in now! When i got back today, i realised im gonna START SHIFTING ALREADY!(actually in another 3 months) The cool part is that im just upgrading to a bigger size house with a fantabulous balcony. The dumb part is that im still living in bayshore, just shifting to my neighbour's unit on the same floor -_-. (i used to think that ppl who shift to the next few blocks in the same estate are retarded, and now i realised im worse.)

Okay, other than those great news i've mentioned, im pretty much worried about my eight month or so holiday cos i havent found a job): Oh yes, plus im really panicking about what im gonna do if my results dont get me into the faculty i want. So i've been discussing with my dad about it and if i really suck i'll probably go to vietnam to work in the future lol.

Other than all the bullshit i just crapped about,
HAPPY 2008 everyone(:

(P/s: Heard for Kate Winslet's - What If)?
Currently hooked on it. She reminds me of the Holiday.

What If
Here I stand alone
With this weight upon my heart
And it will not go away
In my head I keep on looking back
Right back to the start
Wondering what it was that made you change

Well I tried
But I had to draw the line
And still this question keeps on spinning in my mind

Do you think how it would have been sometimes
Do you pray that I'd never left your side

If only we could turn the hands of time
If I could take you back would you still be mine

What if I had never let you go
Would you be the man I used to know
What if I had never walked away
'Cos I still love you more than I can say
If I'd stayed
If you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know
We'll never know
