...
i finally finally finished my last assignment for this sem!!!!!!!!!! after much procrastinating and much meditating... wrote just over 1.4 words. =D. feel like such a burden is lifted from my shoulders esp since i don't intend to study for for exams since my tutees are having their exams too and i intend to give them more tuition since it's gd for them, they have e money, i need e money. LOL! can still rem last sem when i gave tuition every single day leading up to zj's paper. wonder if i still have that same composure this sem.
my tuition yest was quite wonderful. e new kid...this sec 3 boy lives in a condo near orchard (which is wonderful for me coz it's on e way to cck..so if we meetup at lot 1...sat's cool!). and we have tuition in this room that's not very big....only abt twice e size of e ex gs-rm...but one of its walls is covered with an oil painting!!! kinda hard to describe it...imagine urself sitting on a chair at some ancient, majestic building and looking out into sea. tt's kinda e scene! e railings are painted in too..and in e middle of e sea..there's some cultural buildings that look quite middle-eastern. quite a surreal feeling manz...to sit at tuition, waiting for the kid to do his work and looking at e painting. =D. e funniest thing though is that the room is so non-functional. as typical of rich ppl with alot of rooms i guess. i told him to on e lights....and well...as we all know..oil paintings are typically protected from strong light. so his light was like some weak orangy thing that made me laugh. i wanted to say 'u call that a light?!' but cldn't ahz...coz dunno him well enuf...i wanted to ask him 'ay...art gallery izzit?!' but didn't either. wait till the 5th or 6th lesson manz. anyway he's a really shy boy, not confident with the language at all. quite shuai. has a nice maid who got me tea and biscuits..LOL! and he lives with 2 other kids...no adults at home. looking fwd to more tuition! e tea's really nice...i think it's lipton though. but i like sweet hot tea~
anyway...e pj filming turned out to be damn lame! and atas. they only got e scholars back -_-. mama din tell me if not i might not have gone. not sure if it's a right decision...i mean after all, our scholars aren't too atas in e first place!!!! LOL. so e titles beneath our faces are gonna be damn lame. tons of SAF ppl though...i believe there's 2 mo3tas. and tt seems to pretty much define e grp. -_-. LOL!!! i cabbed there and realized tt i wasted my $11.40 coz i cld have been later and they won't be too bothered since e cameraman had planned to finish at 12 but when i reached at 1230...he still have a few more ppl to film! anyway e lamest thing was that after much thought...he only needed me to say e occupation itself. no need for any elaboration. so i just said 'policy-maker' coz i decided that it's super lame to say teacher when u're already bonded. -_-. LOL!!!!! like it's a dream that you don't have to strive for what. LOL. anyway...i had to say it like 10 times in front of e camera still. reminds me of how uni ppl are made to jump into the air for 10 times for a 5 secs shot. LOL! anyway e funniest thing is that e occupations tt the supposedly atas grp picked aren't atas. e.g. fire-fighter, navy, teacher. -_-. LOL!!!! in retrospect, i shld have said something like 'get into the guiness bk of world records' since there's no need to specify what record and how i intend to do it! LOL!! or i cld dream of being the first woman to travel to some star in the milky way. -_-. why didn't i think of it earlier?!
anyway something funny happened today. my dad met up with shan's dad and as usual they had their bout of comparing/bitching abt their kids. i have no idea why people like to compare their kids with other kids/other ppl with themselves so much. i mean everyone goes thru different things in life. just coz u hold certain values doesn't make you all high and mighty. some ppl just think that they know more than others/are more mature than others or in my dad's case...bring up their kids better than others. then my dad nicely managed to make shan's dad pissed off with her simply coz i've been paying for my own stuff but shan's graduated but getting money from her parents. well, it wasn't her fault at all that her parents are willing to give her e money/not force her to make her own mahz. and my dad nicely made my fren's dad pissed off with my fren. -_-. parents~ LOL!
anyway i pissed my dad off today too. coz i got paid for tuition and i went to buy milk from ntuc in order to break my $100 note which i can't exactly break at sch. then my dad said tt i cld have passed e note to him and he'll break it for me. then i reminded him of e times he took my money w/o telling me only to have me find out later on. and he got pissed. but he got over it damn quickly and reminded me of shan's dad's dismay at her. -_-. patted himself on e back and decided tt he did a gd job i guess. sometimes i dun understand my dad. he stays at home e whole day, eats homecooked food bought with my mom's money. doesn't buy anything except beer and cigarettes and my cousin gives him $200 a month mahz. and my mom gives him an unknown amt too. perhaps he takes my money for fun. -_-. LOL! just like how i insist on eating my meals at home most of e tme. it's e 'zhuan dao' feeling i guess...e feeling that u managed to exploit a loophole in the system.
i realized that me and my sec sch best frens lead such different lives...each one of us. shan, me, ting, qi....all so diff! =D. anyway...as i always say..my dreams are contingent on the dreams of my frens! congrats shan on graduating and i hope you find an internship soon!! then u can finally get a job after that! =D. and congrats qi for passing driving!!! i can't wait to hitch a ride!!! wheeee~~ i love it when my frens aim to learn driving! LOL!
it's over!! my sem's over! at least the compulsory part's over. i.e. e assignments. i love this part of e sem coz studying's optional! LOL!!! and there's no cca! (okie lahz...i still have cca like everyday coz i've got to do some duty thing...but not shiong at least!) YEA!!
