Teacher

Ahem* Yes I am.

I have been providing tuition for my nephew the past 2 weeks. I love teaching people. Actually teaching is a honorable task. You need to equip yourself with extreme good patience and proper guidance to pass the skills to your students. To provide teaching for others is actually reminding yourself what you have learn way back before, so that you will never forget how to do it. My Zanden is only 8 years old with a poor background of Mathematics! Mathematics actually comes with logic. They always have one answer. If a child have good Mathematics background, he will grow up to have a good logical thinking.

So that day I went to his house. Upon seeing me, Zanden was excited. I can see that he wanted a tuition teacher so badly. He took out his holiday homework and came to me, " We have to finish this 200++ pages of my assessment book this holiday~"

-_-! 200++ pages...

-_-! again...

Okay, never mind, I will try me best, anyway it is a sin to reject a child. So Zanden brought me to his room to start on with the lesson. The topic I teaching him that day was "Money". Alright, Money, doesn't seem difficult. In fact, we encounter "Money" almost everyday. $_$

"Zanden, draw for me 2 x $10 notes."

He drew...

"A handsome guy, and ten dollars at the right hand side..."

Handsome guy???

"Who's that handsome guy?"

"Nor... The guy inside the note. He got a mustache one!"

.......... Okay, I know who, just that I forgot his name.

So as I was teaching, Zanden really cannot focus. He kept fidgeting, look elsewhere, basically cannot concentrate and neglect my presence! But, I know that I must maintain patience and control my anger. Also, the fact that I cannot expect an 8-year-old kid to sit down quietly and study at the same time. All kids are born to be active. After for some moment, his mother came in. Zanden's attitude changed. Upon seeing his mum, he adjust the chair and pretend to look back at his assessment book.

Wow! I was amazed.

So as I continue the lesson, Zanden truly answered all my question. Initially, he was not focusing but the presence of his mother changed everything. So at that point of time, I recalled what was I when I was an 8-year-old kid with mucus on my nose. (*Sniff) Similar to Zanden, I was full of energy. However, I love to study. I love school! I love to have somebody to teach me. Apart from my primary school teachers, I really hope that at home, I have a personal tutor as well. Maybe because since young I hate being doing things alone. Yeah, that's right.. Till now, I also dun wish to do things alone too. Like, going out alone, watching movies alone, shopping alone etc. It always good to have companions.

So 2 hours had passed and I found out that we only did 5 question... (Half of a page, -_-!) I was damn exhausted. Serious! If learning is difficult, I think teaching is twice as much. I suddenly feel that I must salute my teacher from primary and secondary school and those lecturers from my poly. *Salute!

Although teaching is a tiring job but after the end of the day, I feel very resourceful. And, I still hope that one day I can fly to Nepal to provide education for the poor and the needy. Teach them everything that I have learn so far. Isn't that great?

Then when I about to leave his house, he said to me,

"So next Wednesday same time also hor??"

"I see how it goes la.. Can?"

"Okay.. Bye bye Mr Cheong..."

Mr Cheong??? Now who is Mr Cheong? Kids are acting so weird now days...

寂寞光年

This is the song of the Chinese drama that I have been watching every night.



是谁从我天空摘走了星星
一转眼 眉头聚满乌云
从来快乐悲伤都自己横行
忘了我也值得被关心

一双手一个梦
一路上不断的俯冲
痛到忘了要怎么喊痛

漫长的寂寞淹没我的难过
我的世界是零下的沙漠
其实我也想要拥抱的温柔
融化这颗坚强的泡沫

漫长的等候让人特别失落
锋锐寂寞把天空都割破
还有谁能够紧握着我的手
陪着我期待消失的彩虹

是谁将阳光都剪成了雨滴
天灰了 快乐总有限期
从来都陷在孤独的流沙里
忘了我也配被人在意
一个人一直走看着梦像做了又空
精疲力尽有没有哪里可以停泊

漫长的寂寞淹没我的难过
我的世界是零下的沙漠
其实我也想有拥抱的温柔
融化这颗坚强的泡沫

漫长的等候让人特别失落
锋锐寂寞把天空都割破
还有谁能够紧握着我的手
陪着我期待消失的彩虹
那是谁的温柔留在我的小手
微不足道却那么重

漫长的寂寞把意志都吞没
整个世界是沉默的漩涡
有谁能陪我手牵着手出走
带我离开空洞的星球

还有什么值得追求
还有什么可以拥有
把怀抱借给我是不是就不再颤抖
有谁能带走这美丽的哀愁
能让我相信被爱的理由

Alright... Off to work.
(Work sucks! I know!)

But I am only human

"I want to be a hero. One day I shall change the world, and fight for world peace."

That was sometimes ago...

I want to be a person that others no need to worry about me. I dun need sympathy actually, just show some concern and appreciation will do. I know when I will excel, I know when I will stand on top of the world. I dun want to see myself doing the wrongful act in order to achieve my goal. I dun want to see myself as a burden to others.

The world has turned ugly since 1986, 23 years later, it ain't getting any better. Nothing has gone wrong. I just know that I cannot control everything.

If only I can fly, I will fly to you.
If only I can sing, I will sing for you.
If only I can survive, I will survive with you.
If only I can be your hero, would you die with me?

You are only water, keep slipping through my fingers.
I am only human, I can't see my future.

Super Sunday

I think I really need to see specialist. I suppose to be sleeping now.

Super Sunday because it is super. ??? Lame.. Anyway, it's good to have friends to stay near your area, then you can go out with them often.

The Musketeer of Jurong I mean. No one else.

At first I was thinking to bring them for the massage. It's called "Fast Massage", I finally know what is the name. But they rejected. I thought they enjoy. *Sigh. We went for a restaurant that serve Taiwan cuisine and it sucks! Mainly because we are not use to it. The smell of beef overpowered the whole restaurant. After that, dessert. Recommended by Justea whom can't join us today.

The main purpose for today is actually to watch...

This show, we booked at 1905. When we went in at 1903, the screen was still black. Suppose to have some commercials. Then at 1932, somebody announced: Dear all, we are sorry that there is some serious technical fault that we are not able to rectify, please proceed to counter D4 to refund your tickets.

.........

Our main purpose for today is to watch this damn show but in the end they expect us to go home empty handed? No way! We have to watch this by today no matter what!

Alright, 2045 slot did not disappoint us. This show is amazing. It has a good base and story line. Mainly, machines movies will lead us scratching our heads all the way throughout but not for this one. I really like this. And to our surprises, we saw Arnold Schwarzenegger, the first Terminator. Yeah, I shall not reveal that much. If you want to see, please go ahead.

Then this is how Super Sunday ended.
