Work Like That Can Die

Out of last year's three tuition kids, two (brothers) have decided to stay with me for this year. The parents of the remaining student have decided to sack me not to engage in my excellent services after a horrendous end of year exam results.

Giving tuition after a day of teaching very tiring. Eyes want to close already. Have been working from 7 in the morning until 10 pm just now.

Today I had 6 periods in a row. You try shouting for three hours. See how many Jia Jia Liang Teh you need after that. Me is trained I tell you. Me no longer need Jia Jia Liang Teh after all the continuous shouting.

My students are not handing in my assignments. Must catch a few of them and skin them alive. Hang outside the school gate as warning to the rest.

No. Wait. No more work please.

Very busy but still come online. Come online because I thought she will be online to update my blog ok.

She's Back

Her nickname appeared on MSN a while back. I was surprised because I thought she would only be back on Friday.

She is back. Back in Singaore.

She initiated a conversation with me on MSN.

She is still chatting with me.

And so I shall not blog now.

She Looked At Me With Big-Round-Innocent-Pleading Eyes

First weekend of 2008 was kickstarted with major 21st birthday celebrations. To attend two birthday parties in a single night was stressful. Especially when one is in Changi and another in Woodlands.

Especially when I was banned from leaving the 1st party to attend the 2nd party until the cake was cut. Normally, me being me, would not have given a hoot about the cake. Whether you got cut your cake or not, not my business. I am dead set on executing my exit strategies at 2000 hrs sharp.

But there is nothing much a straight guy like me, the straighter than a straight line type, can do when the birthday girl look at you with big-round-innocent-pleading eyes and say : "so early? but my cake haven't cut yet. pleaaaasssseeee stay until I cut my cake".

I tell you those big-round-innocent-pleading eyes got magic power. When cast under a spell, how you expect me to insist I want to leave. Upon hearing OK, she rewarded me with a smile that was sweeter than the sweetest sweet on earth.

Disclaimer: I swear that the birthday girl was not anybody special. I swear that the birthday girl was not someone I had a crush on last time in secondary school. I also swear that I did not attempt to make her my girlfriend but my advances were largely ignored.

At 10 pm, 2 hours later than my initially planned departure timing, they finally cut the cake and I was free to leave.

At 11pm, 5 hours after the 2nd party started, I arrived at the 2nd party. Upon arrival, Lao Giam, Skinny Man and gang promptly scolded and whacked me left right up down centre. I was abit guilty because the birthday boy was Skinny Man, a friend of mine since primary school.

Disclaimer: I swear that Lao Giam and gang did not call me many many times to hurry me to the party. I swear that I did not choose my birthday girl over my Skinny Man.

I am beginning to confirm the cold hard fact suspect that I rank girls alot higher than guys.
