Green, Amber and Red

It was raining cats and dogs this morning. Perfect weather for sleeping. Too bad I gotta wake up early for IBM, which will start at 9AM. Afraid she will oversleep again, I sent JiaRui an SMS to wake her up. She woke up, but told me she won't be going for class. She wanted to sleep in 'coz of the rain. -_-

Daddy sent me and sis to school. There was a massive traffic jam. Heard a traffic report on radio and realised that almost everywhere in Singapore had a traffic jam. It was either due to fallen trees or traffic accidents. SiGh~!

During IBM, Nageb had the sudden desire to sit down in front of me. He asked me some questions. Fortunately, I was able to answer him. PhEw~! There were notes to be collected today. So, I had to lug four stacks of notes home 'coz I collected for JiaRui as well. HaI~!

I am exhausted. Feeling kinda sick today. No tuition tonight. Good.

Report: Presentation Of Idiotic Behaviours In Public

Encountered two hopeless idiots this morning. Two in less that half an hour. One at the carpark, another at the coffeeshop.

IDIOT #1: TAI-TAI STYLE AUNTIE
Spotted while she was washing her car in the carpark. Her car was parked at the parking lot for the disabled instead of the car-washing bay. All four doors of the car were wide opened, blocking the main passage way. Not only did she block the main passage way, she made the floor wet and slippery by asking her maid to scrub the rubber mats with detergent there. Almost everyone who passed by commented on her inconsiderate behaviour.

IDIOT #2: FAT WOMAN
Spotted with a man at a coffeeshop in Chong Pang. As I was entering the coffeeshop, this fat woman came from behind me and said "Excuse me". She sounded as though she owned the place and I was blocking her way. There was so much space around me where she could enter but she had to come behind me and walk the same path as I did. Feel like giving her a hard punch in her porky face.

SiGh~!

Who will save me?

ArGh~! Someone please save me! Charlene's mom just called to cancel tuition for tonight. She told me her intention to stop tuition for one month too and asked if I am OK with it. Well, what else can I say? "Will you continue paying me if I say OK?" or "Can you don't stop tuition if I say I am not OK?" HaI~! I need to buy a belt. I can either use it to tighten my jeans or to hang myself. =X

=(

Little Geraldine is stopping tuition for one month. I will be out of job for one month as well. Gonna feed on air soon. SiGh~! Really wanna quit the Lee's but with Geraldine stopping tuition, I can't afford to lose that assignment. ArGh~! Don't feel like tutoring the twins tonight. HELP!

Cheesy moments

Invited HuiJun over for cheesecake this afternoon. She said my cheesecake tasted like yogurt. I think yogurt is nice but she found it weird. Anyway, she brought the Harry Potter books I wanted. Thank you, my dear cousin! HeE~! We talked about what to do after her examinations. Though it is a bit early since the written papers have not even start, it was fun planning for our 'great expedition'. HaHa~! Already looking forward to the end of her examinations. =P
















Jaslyn didn't do the homework I gave her again. Spent the whole session teaching how to do the questions. I just can't stop her from talking. She always have something to talk about even when we don't bring it up. SiGh~! Hopefully she will do well for the upcoming Mathematics examination.

Ups and Downs

Was at Causeway Point this afternoon. Went to Popular to get some primary 3 assessment books and guides for Jaslyn. Ended up with $68.28 worth of books. Gotta call her mommy to get approval before I buy. I am lucky that she is quite generous when it comes to her daughter's academic performance. Just in case you were thinking that all parents should be, my twin students' parents are not.

Speaking of the Lee's makes my blood boils. It is the 8th lesson today. My pay day. Today's lesson was quite normal, with the usual deobedience. As promised, I brought lollipop for them. Mrs Lee was not very happy about that. She told me not to bring them sweets anymore. I wanted to ask her how to control her two precious boys without sweets when sweets are like everything in the world to them. I kept that to myself and smiled at her. After the lesson, she asked me why aren't I teaching them grammar and vocabulary. I couldn't take it anymore! I told her straight in the face that her children aren't fast enough for that. They can't even speak properly! Then she ask me how long will it take for me to finish teaching phonics. It will of course depend on the students' learning ability! Honestly, it will take a long time for them to grasp that. I told her it will take time as their foundation needs to be strengthened before they can learn new things. She 'questioned' me for quite a while before sending me to the door, without the money. I had to remind her that it is the 8th lesson today. She still had the cheek to ask me "Is it?" ArGh~! She went in to take the money and continued 'questioning' me. All the while she held the money in her hands tightly. I kept looking at my watch, trying to hint to her my intention to leave. She finally let go of her tight grip after 15 minutes and handed me the money. SiGh~!

Heard some really bad news when I got home. Aunt Kee passed on after a long and painful battle with cancer. Wasn't very close to her but was still quite sad. She used to dote on me when I was little. I remember playing masak-masak with the ornaments in her house and she never scolds me for doing that, only asked me to put them back in their original positions after playing. In my memory, she was a kind and graceful lady. It is a pity she passed on at such young age. HaI~!

HuiJun asked if I wanna watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire with her after her A'level. Had to turn her down 'coz I have agreed to watch it with my best friends. I think this is the first time I am not watching a Harry Potter movie with her. Well, there've gotta be a first time. =X

*IrEnE lOoKs At ThE tImE nOw* It is getting late. Time for bed. Goodnight!
