Met Baby at 4pm and off to Istean Scott to purchase some Japanese groceries for my SUSHI MAKING. Muahaha... It's my first time trying to make Sushi. Well, I can't wait for it to happen. Finally, I managed to find Rice Wine Vinegar and seaweed. I spent quite some times comparing what's the diff between all those brands I could see on the shelves. Eventually, I just simply picked one out of all. Unfortunately, the bamboo mat was out of stock. Baby then accompanied me to Takashimaya Cold Storage. Hee!!! AND I FOUND IT! YIPPY!!!!! After that, we took a bus to P.S

*Blurry Day*
As usual, wakes up early in the morning for lesson at Tiong Bahru. "Ring!" my alarm rang. I opened up my eyes. I noticed that the sky was filled with dark greyish clouds. At first I thought it was still early as it looked like as if it was only 6 plus am. Eventually, it was already 8.05am. I immediately walked into the toilet and pee then to the bathroom and washed up. Then back into my room, got myself changed. Put on my lens and combed my hair and put on my hair band. "Girl bye bye!" said my dad. "Wait for me!!!" I shouted. Carried my bag and off I went out. While I was in the MRT, my mind started to flash back what I've done before I left home. "SHIT!!!!" I said to myself. GOD DAMN SHIT... I forgot my KEYS.. I then smsed baby and told him that I forgot to bring my keys. After that, I smsed my dad to call me when he reached home in the mid-noon. What a shitty day. Today is shit and yesterday was shit too. As for yesterday, I felt extremely lethargic when I was carrying 6 assessment books back home from Tiong Bahru. While walking, I missed a step and FELL. Well, after all, it's just a minor cut on both of my knee caps. Eventually, after lesson at 10.30am this morning, I went to Tiong Bahru Plaza POSB to bank in my salary and off to town to wait for baby to knock off. Luckily, he's on half day leave if not I'll be wandering around ALONE. We both had KFC again. Infact, there weren't much choices of food to choose. Once we had done with our lunch, we went to HELLO Shop as baby wanna purchase Samsung L760. MUhahaha.. It's only at S$38.00 with a 2-years contract. In the first place, I don't advise him to buy Samsung as I knew that the ringing tone is VERY VERY VERY SOFT. However, it's cheap and it's design is still not too bad. So, just purchase it!!! I spent close to about an hour sitting down playing and exploring his phone. Hee!!! Out of all, I only enjoyed playing with it's camera as I like those silly frames setting. I wanna play with it again on SAT. MUAHAHHAHAHA.

Recently, alot of things had happened. My dad was admitted in Alexandra Hospital on Sat 12 plus am. He fell while walking down the stairs. Infact, he's considered lucky as he knew his way back home from his workplace. When he reached home, I spotted his forehead was bleeding profusely. In my mind, I knew that he must be consuming too much alcohol. What to do, at his age of 60 , still doesn't know how to takecare of himeself. Speechless. He's kinda stubborn also. I asked him to go to hospital as he's bleeding too much but he refused. Ended up, I managed to force him to go. My mom and I then brought to him to Alexandra Emergency via cab. We waited for about 5 minutes for our turn. "Uncle, what happen?" asked the nurse "Oh, I walked down the stairs and I fell down." my dad replied "Uncle, did you drink?" "Ya, abit!" Ya, like real, I said to my mom. "Pls wait outside Room 6 as your dad needs to get his forehead stitch up." said the nurse. We waited patiently outside Room 6 for about half an hour. After that, the nurse pushed my dad to the X-Ray room. We then continued to wait. From then, we waited for another half an hour. "One of you please follow me as Mr Tan need to be admitted for further observation." I was stunned. Isit that serious?? I followed the nurse to the counter for registration. I even told the nurse that I wanted to speak to the doctor in-charge regarding my dad's condition. Well, the doctor said that my dad needs to be admitted as its a normal procedure. Phew!!! Scare me. After all these procedures, my mom and I went home by cab. Well, by the time we reached home it was about 2 plus am. However, we were unable to get ourselves and washed up just like that as we need to clean up the house. Cause there were blood stain everywhere. In the kitchen and bathroom. The next morning, I called up my aunt and told her what had happened. We then met up and visit my dad together. When we reached there, the doctor had already unbandage for my dad. I counted. Woo!! 12 stitches. Now, my dad can act as a pirate with a big scar right on his forehead. Hopefully, this will be able to teach him a good lesson. On 24 Sept, 10.10am. I reached Alexandra Hospital Ward 13 Bed 12. "I'm waiting for you to come as the doctor said I can go home already." my dad exclaimed. "Huh.. Isit?" I asked. "Ya, you can go and ask for the charges now." said my dad. "Uncle, after lunch then go home la" said the nurse. "Ok, Ok la!" My dad discharged at 1.30pm and reached home at 2pm by cab.

*Hands UP*
While I was on my way to transfer train from North-East Line at Outram Park via Tiong Bahru, I replied my last sms to Mr L. After that, I put my phone back into my sling bag and took an escalator up to East-West Line platform. As I was standing on the left hand side of the escalator , I sensed that someone was standing close behind me.
During that moment, I thought there were lots of passenger behind me. Unfortunately, there aren't when I turned 90 degrees to my right.
Within seconds, I could feel as if someone was touching my bag. At first, I thought it's by accident. But it didn't seem to be once I heard "zip.... zip....". Well, it's like someone is standing close to you either zipping or unzipping his or her bag. And that's why the "zip.... zip..." sound was sharp and clear. I quickly turned 90 degrees to my left and I noticed a man's hand was very close to me holding onto the handrail. I then quickly grabbed my sling bag infront of me. I found out my zip was being opened. I slipped my hand into my bag. Luckily, my phone was still inside. What the hack man!!!! Once I reached the platform, I kept staring at that Malay man with my eyes wide opened. He just simply stood by the side with a suspicious look and pretended that nothing had happened a moment ago.
I couldn't imagine what if my phone was being stolen? Chased after that MALAY? SCREAM FOR HELP??
Luckily, I didn't act recklessly at that time. If not I'll definitely be at the loosing end as I didn't have any prove to show that he was trying to steal my phone. Hmmmmm...
Well, I'm so dumb, being eyed by someone without feeling it. I'm considered lucky at that time as I wasn't listening to my ipod. IF NOT MY PHONE WILL BE GONE WITHOUT KNOWING.
WHAT A NARROW ESCAPE!!!!!!!
THUS, PEOPLE.. PLEASE GRABBED YOUR BAGS AS TIGHTLY AS POSSIBLE AND TRUST YOUR SIX SENSE. BEWARE OF PICKPOCKETS AND ROBBERS.

*Hurt and Unbalance*
On Tues, 11 Sept 07. Something happened at Phyllis, my student's house. In the beginning of the lesson, everything was alright till her sister came home. Her younger sister who was in the living room kept disturbing and beating the younger brother who is only a toddler. As she wanted to protect her little brother, she carried him into her room. Eventually, her little sister who is now in nursery followed into the room too. She came in and took Phyllis's thing and ran out. Phyllis got fed up and ran out and snatched her stuff back. Well, this wasn't the first time I had seen it. She ran to the kitchen, beat her sister and snatched back her thing. Their dad saw what had happened and told Phyllis not to beat her sister. Phyllis then got even more pissed off and walked back into her room, slammed the door and locked it. She then sat down beside me, took a flower vase on her desk and threw it against the door. I was damn shocked and shouted at her, "do you know that it's GLASS?" "SO WHAT ALSO NOT MY MONEY BUY ONE!" she shouted. Her dad overheard our conversation and knocked on the door. "WHAT DID SHE THROW?? OPEN THE DOOR!" I then opened the door. "Your precious daughter throws flower vase!" Philip, her dad got angry, scolded and beat her twice on her upper back. She cried and stared at her dad with her eyes wide opened. "Do you know that your brother is here?" "If those splinters injure your brother how?" he shouted again. I just stood and looked at her. Her dad even asked me to have a good look with my own eyes. Look at how rebellious was she. I kept quiet and shook my head as I got no comment about it. In my mind, I knew that she was out of control. Thus, in order to vent out her anger, she got to throw something which she disliked. After her father had finished sweeping those bits and pieces of splinters on the floor, he asked her daughter to go and think about it by herself on what had she done. He even asked her to ask me whether had she done the right thing. I then sat down and talked to her while she was crying. She said I'm exactly the same as her parents. What man? If I don't bother about her, I won't be talking to her, buying things for her and bringing her out. Well, about bringing her out, I regretted in my whole life. Why do I bring her out in the first place. The reason was that she's lonely and bored and moreover her parents got no time to bring her out. I took pity on her so, I brought her out. In turn, what do I get in return? She called me AUNTIE. At times, she's damn rude. She even threw temper on me and shouted at me. Okay, back to Tuesday situation. I told her she can vent her anger out by throwing anything but not glass as it's dangerous. Eventually, I can undestand that at times, children need to do something to vent out their anger in them. So do I. "I got cut by splinters better still then I can bleed to death and all of you will be happier what!" Well, I understand why she felt this way. One word, "JEALOUSY". She's jealous of her siblings. "I fail, fail la, why you bother so much, anyway you are here to take money ma!" she added. WHAT THE F****! After hearing all these, I'm damn pissed off and hurt. What kind of student I have? I've been teaching her since Primary 2 till now. Right now, she's in Primary 5. This evening, supposed to have the lst lesson of this month with her as the previous lesson was the 8th lesson. Unfortunately, I was being fired by HER and not HER PARENTS. When I arrived at her house, she looked at me and shouted, " I DON'T WANT TUITION!" Her dad then told her not to be rude. She went into the room and vent her anger out. I asked her dad, "what happen again?" "Nothing happen, I didn't do anything!" he replied. "Aiya, now she's not happy with you la cause that day you scolded her ma." "Ya I did. cause that day she scolded her mum, "YOU GO TO HELL." I replied.
Her dad just simply shook his head and lighted up his cigarette and took a puff.
"Erin, you see la, how, I also dont know what to do with her!" he exclaimed. "She's really giving me a big headache!" he added. Well, I myself also don't know how to help. And there's nothing much I can do now.
Due to this she hated me. She even asked her dad to pay me and asked me not to come anymore. LOOK AT HER WITH THIS KIND OF ATTITUDE!!! Ha...I couldn't imagine that I'm being treated like this by a 11 yrs old girl. The dad said, " what to do, she's very stubborn!" Yes she is and you better bring her for counselling before its too late. Once she goes to Secondary level, its even tougher for you to control. And by the time, it will totally be out of your hand. Eventually, her dad agreed with what I'm thinking. "She hated everyone in the family and she doesn't like to live in this house." "What she likes is to be in a rich family and get whatever she wants in order to make herself happy." She's really out of my hand and I can't handle anymore. I'm tired of all these. I'm nice to her and in turn I get all these shit. Well, who ask myself to be nosy. In the end, her dad paid me and I went home. He said that he'll see how and will contact me after that. In my heart, I told myself, forget it. I've been with her for 3 yrs and its enough. At first, I was damn pissed off and worried about my income. I've lost $160 just like that and moreover, I've just rejected an assignment nearby few days ago due to my tight schedule. Reached home, told baby what had happened. There after, followed by a phone call from my brother. I'm pretty contented cause whenever I've problem, I'll receive a phone call from him. As if he can sensed that something had happened to me. Haha.. Did he have a sensor? He told me, next time round, just teach and don't bother about all these as they are not my kids. As long as I'm being paid, it's okay. But I told him I can't. He said I got to. "Look at now, you bothered and cared so much for her, what did you get?" he asked WOW, this question really woke me up. Just do your job as a tutor within your capability and get your money and everything will be fine. This is the way to survive, even in office. Act as dummy as you can and just do whatever you are told to do. It's like a game in part of your life. Learn how to protect and defend for yourself. You're just a tutor not their mummies. For some people, their character can change whereas some can't. And some take years. So, just let it be and it's not within your control. Let the parents worried about it and not you. Get it?? Do you understand what am I trying to say to you my sister?? "Yeah!!! I do.". Well, I'm feeling more balanced right now.

*When There Was Me And You*
It's funny when you find yourself Looking from the outside I'm standing here but all I want Is to be over there Why did I let myself believe Miracles could happen Cause now I have to pretend That I don't really care I thought you were my fairytale A dream when I'm not sleeping A wish upon a star That's coming true But everybody else could tell That I confused my feelings with the truth When there was me and you I swore I knew the melody That I heard you singing And when you smiled You made me feel Like I could sing along But then you went and changed the words Now my heart is empty I'm only left with used-to-be's And once upon a song Now I know you're not a fairytale And dreams were meant for sleeping And wishes on a star Just don't come true Cause now even I can tell That I confused my feelings with the truth Because I liked the view When there was me and you I can't believe that I could be so blind It's like you were floating While I was falling And I didn't mind Cause I liked the view Thought you felt it too When there was me and you Lyrics from High School Musical 1

*Winter Melon Shoot*
"Girl what's that?" asked my dad.
"Huh What???" I answered.
I then walked one step forward and have a look. Oh!!! MY WINTER MELON.
"It's my winter melon shoot!!" I laughed with joy.
"One month ago, I took these winter melon seeds from mama and threw into this pot na!!!" I added.
Eventually during that time, my mum was preparing winter melon soup. Thus, all those seeds must be taken out before cutting it into pieces. After taking out those winter melon seeds, I took some and planted it. My mum said that they won't be able grow and asked me not to be silly. But, I insisted. Cause in science, I've learnt that most vegetables and fruits grow from seeds. Winter melon grow from seeds too right? So, why can't I grow? I wondered. Whatever.... and I just happily planted them into my flower pot.
I waited and waited and waited day by day. Nothing happened. Not even a single sign of roots coming out. Therefore, I thought they have decomposed in the soil. Well, if thats the case, let them be my fertiliser then. Wahah...Guess what!!! Out of 10 seeds, one manage to germinate. MUaahaha..
Whats next? Durian seed? Rambutan seed? Longan seed? Hehe!!!
However there's a bad news. All my lemon grasses are dead and dried up. Sob!!!
Have a look at my Winter Melon Shoot! Hope it can grow taller and taller and bear winter melon. LoL!!! By the way, I noticed that, the stem and baby shoot are abit hairy. Is is MOULD?? Haha..

*Harris's teaRs*
This evening, I went over to Tiong Bahru to teach Harris. When I reached his room, his mum told me that he didn't finish my homework. The reason behind was that he spent his whole weekends reading his favourite Harry Potter. Okay. This is accepted. While his mother was explaining to me half way, he suddenly cried and walked out of the room and closed the door. "What happen?" I asked. "I guess it's because of his unfinished homework." "Well, it's okay as he's reading a book and not lazing around!" "Think, when I tell you about it, he feels that he loses his pride..." I then told his mum that next time round if he didn't complete his homework again or whatever that needs an explanation, let him explain by his own as he's old enough. If he explain by his own, he won't feel this way. "Oh!!! Ok.. Ok..!!!" replied his mum. This is the first time in my whole life as a tutor seeing a male student cried for not finishing my homework. By the way he's Primary 5 this year. What a 乖 and 老实 student I have. Silly boy!!!!
