*It's another Friday*

Yeah... Tomorrow is Teacher's Day. I wish all teachers
HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY

2nd Teacher's Day gift (From Boyun)


This year I only got 2 Teacher's Day presents. That's damn pathetic. I have 10 students in total, BUT I only got 2 presents.
I'm just like a child too.
I love PRESENTS!!!! AS MANY AS POSSIBLE.

Spotted something funny while walking home from MRT Station.

*Confusion*

Early in the morning while travelling toward Tiong Bahru, my phone rang. Arh!!! Is that Mr L again. Sigh!!! No choice got to pick up. In the sense that I'm sick of picking up his call. He mentioned that his son failed his Chinese badly thus wanted me to have one chinese lesson with him which is on every Monday. I was like ok then. As for me, I wanna focus more on his English and Math first follow by Chinese. Whenever I come to Chinese, his son's expression changes totally. I know that he hates Chinese, but no matter what still have to pass it. He has this kind of can't be bothered attitute. Fail Fail la!!! See.... I even mentioned this to him and he said yeah he was aware of it since long time ago. He even tell me off not to give him to too much homework as he's complaining that he can't finish doing it as the work load is too much. HUH!!! Just 2 pages each for 4 books. ALOT??? Then when come to exam or common test, they are required to finish the whole paper which is about 40 over questions. Here you say must push him then on another hand ask me not to give him too much homework. What do you really want man?????? In my mind, I'm wondering how come he got no time to do as he always doesn't have any homework from school? I then shoot his dad back. "He normally got nothing to do in the noon what thus I'm sure that the amount of work load I've given him can be done within less than half a day." I said in a pissed off manner. "But he always leave it to the last minute to finish up." he answered. See.. that's where the problem lies. He piled everything up. Eventually, that's your fault as you didn't push him to do it. I did ask his son before what he usually do in the afternoon. He said he just laze around, watch cartoon, sleep, walk around the house and play with his dogs. Thus, in order to keep his time being occupied meaningfully, I give him chuncks of work. The funniest thing is, when he is doing his work alone, he'll not do it seriously. But, when he is with me, he knows. He even know how to read some difficult words just that he don't know the meaning. Well, he is not the first kid I've ever know who is like this too. I even reminded his dad again to be patient with his boy. He replied:" I'm very impatient." Yeah, I know about it! I told him. "Wow you know me so well." "From the way you tell me how you educate your kid, I know." "What else do you know about me? Mind telling me?" he asked. "Huh... I don't know neh!!." I replied. Wow you think I'm stupid isit. Really going to tell you what kind of person I think you are??? Muahaha... Wait long long as I still wanna secure my rice bowl. I'm gonna eat and suck all your cash. He then continued smsed me. "Wow so free, not teaching?" "Have, but its at 4pm." "Having great time shopping outside isit?" "Nope, I working as a free maid at home." "No sad...." From then on I didn't reply him anymore. Waste my sms. Infact, when he asked me that question "Wow so free, not teaching?", I didn't want to reply. But I still replied if not it seems like as if I'm RUDE. At times, I really dont know what this FATHER is doing.

*Exhausted but Enjoyed*

9am, had lesson with Boyun. Boyun's lesson is as dry as dust. Time passes damn slow during her lesson. However, when comes to story telling session, she'll then start to speak up. At 2.30pm, went over to Bukit Timah to teach Aloysius and finished at 4pm. In the middle of the lesson, someone called me. "Who is the dumb dumb that will call me at this hour?" I said. Took out my phone, Oh!! It's his father, Mr L. He called just to let me know that there will be no lesson for Aloysius on Friday and next Friday.

Ok noted!!! Then back to Tiong Bahru at 5pm again to teach Boyun's brother, Harris. Today's lesson, he made quite a lot of mistakes. Well guess he was lethargic as he had just reached home not long ago. Once I had done 2 comprehension passages with him, I moved on to composition. Firstly, I taught him the format . Then, followed by doing one picture compo with him. We wrote about a boy who was being hit by a car while dashing across the road. In order to make it more interesting, we described the weather first before writing where the boy was heading to and what happen before he was being hit by a car. Guess what the ending was? We had written that the boy was dead and his parents were being informed to come down to the scene. The boy's mum then shouted, "wake up!! how can you leave me just like this?" While shouting,the boy's mum even shook the boy's body vigorously. "Ha!!!! It's just a trick, Ne ne ni pu pu!!!" the boy woke up and ran away. When I arrived with this kind ending, he laughed and laughed non-stop. So do I. "My boy lollipop....." my mobile rang. When he heard this ring tone, he laughed even more loudly. I then laughed and told baby that I'm teaching. Well, he must be wondering what the hack am I laughing about. MUahahhaha!!! I finally managed to ask Harris a question. "Why do you have a Christian name whereas, your sister doesn't have one?" he said don't know. "Why is your name Harris?" "I don't know cause I didn't name it myself" he answered. "Then who named it for you?" "My English teacher!" Oh!!!!!! Muahahah... "Ha.. I know why your name is Harris!!!" "Cause, you like Harry Potter..." OOpppps... We then laughed away loudly once again. "My sister has a Christian name and its Sue!" "Why Sue?" "I don't know cause she like it as she thinks Sue is magical..." What man!!!!! Haha.... Finished at 6.30pm, rushed off to Melvin's place. Again, I need to teach him fraction over and over again. I'm seriously getting sick and tired of him. Of cause, I did shout at him and teach him the same time. ARGH!!!! DRIVING ME HAYWIRE !!!!! Hungry!!! Hungry!!!! I'm a hungry wolf as today I didn't have my DINNER!!!

Academy Award®-winning director Brad Bird (“The Incredibles”) and the amazing storytellers at Pixar Animation Studios (“Cars,” “Finding Nemo”) take you into an entirely new and original world where the unthinkable combination of a rat and a 5-star gourmet restaurant come together for the ultimate fish-out-of-water tale.

In the hilarious new animated-adventure, RATATOUILLE, a rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great chef despite his family’s wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. When fate places Remy in the city of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau. Despite the apparent dangers of being an unwanted visitor in the kitchen at one of Paris’ most exclusive restaurants, Remy forms an unlikely partnership with Linguini, the garbage boy, who inadvertently discovers Remy’s amazing talents. They strike a deal, ultimately setting into motion a hilarious and exciting chain of extraordinary events that turns the culinary world of Paris upside down.

Remy finds himself torn between following his dreams or returning forever to his previous existence as a rat. He learns the truth about friendship, family and having no choice but to be who he really is, a rat who wants to be a chef. Directed by Academy Award®-winner Brad Bird and co-directed by Academy Award®-winner Jan Pinkava (“Geri’s Game”).

*Communication*

While I was at Tiong Bahru Watson, I received a call.

"Hi Erin, Mr L has mentioned that he paid you the full amount right?" said Irin, the agent.

"Huh!!! I didn't take the full amount!!" I exclaimed.

Well, I remembered that day his wife only gave me half of the fee as I told her that half will go to the agency. She even said that she will ask her husband to settle it by then. What the heck man....

I then hung up the phone with Alex and called Mr L right away to know what's going on.

Ring Ring!!! "Hi Dear" he said.
I was like ......
"OK hi.. Mr L, I'm Erin"
"Oh Erin, Hi..."
"Regarding the fee I only got 120 bucks!"
He then added:" No, as I have given my wife S$240."
"Yeah, I'm aware of that but I told her that half will go to the agent thus I only take half which is S$120!!!"

"Sorry.. Sorry cause my wife didn't mention about it so I thought you took the full payment." he said.
"So I'll just write a cheque to Irin am I right?" he added.
"Yeah." I answered.

Ha.. he even mentioned that he felt so embarrassing as he told the agent that he had paid for the fee. Muahaha... What the .............

Well, it's alright as long as this is being clarified in a well-mannered way. Actually, in the very first place I was kinda pissed off when I received that call regarding the payment. Usually for home tuition, tutor got nothing to do with the agent's commission. Thus, it is between the agent and the client.

Two weeks ago, I received a letter from the agency. In the letter, it stated all the details of the client and charges for 8 lessons. I just find it weird when I got it. I then called up the agent to ask isn't this letter supposed to send to the client instead. So, why am I receiving it?

She told me that she CC it to me incase the parent's of the child pay me in full. If it's like this, I need to transfer half of the fee to the agent's bank account on behalf of the parent. I was like okay then!!! That's why, inorder to save trouble for myself, I only take half of the fee instead.

*PapaYa*

Reached home at 12.40pm after teaching Boyun and his elder brother, Harris. I thought my dad has already finished burning incense, unfortunately everything was not done yet. My mum told me that today my that "BLAH BLAH AUNT" didn't come. I was like Oh!!! I thought she was supposed to come and help out?? Hmmmm... Weird WOMAN. I looked at the clock. WOW it's closed to 1pm. I then asked my mum should I go to Bukit Timah? "Can cancel meh?" my mum asked. Well, if I want to cancel it of cause I get by just smsing the dad telling him that I got something crop up. I took my phone and smsed. About 20 minutes later, the dad replied. "OKAY, BUT DO NOT DO IT TOO OFTEN!" I was stunned. What kind of replied was that? As if I alway cancel tuition every now and then. Idiot!!! This is my first time telling him that I need to cancel tuition!!!! The previous time was "HE" wanted to cancel as he wanna bring his sons to IMM for shopping. BANANA ASSHOLE!!!!

*Joke of the Night*

I bought a pink flip flop from New Urban Male yesterday. Eventually, I wore it to my students' house today. In the evening, I had lesson with Phyllis and I wore it to her house too. The funniest was that Phyllis thought that flip flop was hers. I remembered I put my flip flop outside her house but I really got no idea how come it ended up in her house. She took it and showed me by wearing it and said this slipper was from her aunt!! I looked at it... I was wondering, how come it looked exactly the same as mine. Same brand, same colour and same design. "I go call my daddy and ask him whether can I bring this slipper to my grandma's house,can?" she added. I then asked her, isn't that's mine? She said:"yours meh?" I said ya na!!! And I asked her to go out and have a look. She then said:"opps!!" I thought my aunt bought me a new slipper so that I could wear it to my grandma's house. I was like THE!!!! "Sorry ah, I mistaken and are you angry?" What the HACK MAN!!!
