Mentioned in my earlier post that I went for tuition yesterday. Met a super heavy rain when I stepped out of my house. It hasn’t been raining for past few days or rather the weather has been so humid and intolerable over the past few weeks. I only remember that I keep complaining HOT HOT HOT!!! BUT this heavy rain came at the wrong timing today la. I was going to take bus to bedok and it started to rain!! Frens who know me will know my habit of not bringing a brolly out of the house. But I am forced to bring one out today cuz the clouds were so threatening and I have along day ahead so I think I better bring la..
While on the bus, lightning struck on the tree next to the bus! Woo.. so deafening and scary cuz it’s the first time I’m ever so close to lightning. Luckily the leaves didn’t catch fire and no one was walking along the pavement when the lightning struck. Along the journey was so interesting. Haha.. Along paya lebar road there was flood cuz the rain was simply too heavy already. Took a pic of the flood while I was on the bus waiting for it to drive past the flooded area but I couldn’t transfer the pic from my hp to my pc. But just use your imagination la – brown water polluted by sand and soil, those kinda mud water and cars stuck in the middle because water sipped into their engine and they have to stall and cause traffic jam.
Then the tuition. It was so much better than the first lesson. KJ is warming up and somehow more ‘open’ with me. He could crack jokes, lame ones, [goodness I’m surrounded by lamers.. haha] and more smiles as compared to the first lesson. Maybe first lesson shy shy la and wanna test water first. BUT he failed to complete the homework that I assigned him. He even bargained with me lor. He said he’s having headache because the mechanics question is giving him headache and couldn’t get anything into his head and want to do chemistry. BEST! I shouldn’t give in la but forcing him to absorb when he’s not ready also wouldn’t help so I acceded to his request lo. Sometimes need to observe the student and change strategy with the moment lo. So tough to be a tutor. Everything in life is about strategy!!!
Entertainment begins after tuition!! First stop was at Kbox where I sand only 2 songs and got shoo-ed out by personnel cuz the guys paid for 3 hrs only. Then went to eat dinner, brought them to Parklane Wan Tan Mee. Chilli there is getting more and more spicy manx!!! Entire jaws were burning manx!! Then went to cine to watch XXX [Triple X]. It’s an action-packed show. Think I haven been watching action movie for quite some time and found this show really exciting!! AND I didn’t sleep!!! Always had a habit of dozing off for 1-5min in each movie I watched but it usually happened during the boring conversation part of the movies. So I guess action movies keep me awake and love stories keep me dreaming. HAHA. Then back to AMK for supper. Then home sweet home le. So tiring!! What a day manx!!
But I’m still glad that THAT thing is solved already. So I have one thing less to bother about. Bless me luck!!
