finally a day of rest! Tho alternate monday was my free day, that consecutive tues is bad enough! It totally drains me off! whatever rest i'd taken, whatever food i'd eaten just couldn't make that tired body not tired on tuesday!! tuesday morning 645AM wake up.. had a tutorial, break for 3 hours. Did some revision. Had lunch with friends. 2pm starts another tutorial. 4pm another long and draggy lecture, with a super naggy lecturer, who ended the lecture at 610! crap. Endure through that peak hours with all those working ppl, who are KIASU to the max. As if they had never sat the whole day. ok so I stood throughout the bus/train journey. reached home 745PM. And had a 12 hours rejuvenation. Alternate Tuesday will be like this again. Arrgghh. Later tuitions for the 2 cute kids. okie hopefully they make my day! Lumina singing prac at evening time.. actually it isn't much of a rest day afterall.
People like to rake up other people's past. Using the past impression of someone to think of that person in the present or future situations. Haven't we tried? We are now in different places. We have different commitments. Yet, ppl still see us like the past. When we have many reasons to why we are in the end back in the way we are like in the past, ppl still thinks it's because we want to be in the past. But have these people realised that there're many reasons, and even when all these reasons become invalid, isn't that just one time? one time that we are back in the past after so many months? I say you are not understanding. You say we are insensitive. I say you are disappointing. You bring up all the past of how you have helped us, and say we are more disappointing. I say out our reasons. You say these are not the main reason. I say we are truthful. You say we are just facial. I say you are so tactless in words. You say because we are unappreciative.
When can we stop having that thorns in our hearts?
Teaching my student today reminded me of my Primary School days..
Today, my tuition boy was showing faces when I asked him to do an English Quiz. And I asked him, "Is your Dad rich?" He said no, and gave me a curious face. And I asked another question, "then why are you wasting your dad's money now by not using this time wisely?" He finally started trying those questions.
I flipped through the maths homework that I gave him during the previous session, there were alot of blanks.. he just simply said that he dunno how to do.. my only question to him is.. "Did you try?"
I was like him. I had a tutor, his name is Mr Yap. He taught me when I was Primary 3. (I think so..) It just recalls those times that I had my tuition with Mr Yap. He was a full time tutor. A little old, but not old to that extent that he was having his whole head white then. I remembered dreading my feet to my bedroom for tuition. Always slowing down to do things.. or purposely dropping my eraser or pencils on the floor and taking a long time looking for it. Whenever he asked for my assessment books, I would purposely pretend to look for it even when I saw it, and knew where it was. Seriously wasting time.. wasting my parents' money. Now I look at my students.. haa. They are doing the same old tricks to me. It quite memorable. But I would take Mr Yap as a model for me to follow. Whenever I teach, I'll recall how he taught me. The patience, the nice tone that he would use.. That heart of teaching I would say. I believe that every experience would mark a learning point, though it might take 10years to learn. :)
haven't been feeling well these few days.. cough.flu.. fever.. all those germs just revolve around me. yahz and gina calls me fevergal85. *faintz*

ah! i've taken that kid back for tuition... haa. it's quite a joke.. but i'm not sure if it's good or bad.. but i know i can't drop him whenever i want from now on.. cos it's PSLE. what I really need is wisdom.. time management to go thru this semester.. 3kids.. 5mods.. all core modules. haa. Jiayou man. I'm going to do them well, and definitely better than last sem! And all thru God's grace and providence! Yea.
