*Alone*
Went to Orchard Library to listen to 70's songs and relax. I did a drawing there. A man who was carrying his daughter commented about my drawing. He said good and gave me a smile and pointed at his daughter who was sleeping. LOL!! I then smile back. Before I went off, I bid him goodbye. Not bad na... Alone in the library there's still someone smile and praised my drawing. Hehe..

*Nothing Better to do*
*Pissed off But Happy in the End*
This morning went over to teach Rodrigo. "I didn't do my spelling corrections you know." He said "Huh!! Why never do? Lazy?" I shouted. I then asked him to do on the spot without any complaint. Usual, he did complain about his hand getting tired. I told him that I don't care. He did ask me whether can he do it for homework. I said nope cause if I give for him for homework as usual, he won't do it. So I did tell myself, what's the point of giving him homework and spelling since he didn't wanna do and learn. I took my time writing out the questions for him on pieces of paper as all his kindergarden books had already finished. Of caused, he finished without know anything... LOL!!! I taught him when to use "do" and "does". He said:" No meaning!" After hearing that, I'm total heart-broken and pissed off. All my motivation had gone and totally giving up hope in him. Everyone in his family didn't really bothered about his studies and let him be except Stefanie and me. Guess what, he's not willing to learn. He's playful, likes to watch tv, likes to sing. He's not stupid either, he's just lazy. "Laziness" can just kills him like that. I'm kind of scared once he goes into Primary One. Afraid he can't catch up, don't know what the teacher is talking about cause most of the time he tends to dream. DREAM DREAM DREAM... DREAM... DREAM... I should let him listen to this song. He can remember what are the things to buy, what is the next cartooon on T.V. , when he is going for holiday and blah blah blah. When comes to study is ZERO. While I'm teaching him Maths, I can't simply vomit blood out. I taught him how to use T-BONE today. When I'm about to explain to him, he said:" I can use my brain and count!!" I then asked him ok then, use your brain and count. He just simply sit there and stare!!! DREAM... I then shouted at him.. START COUNTING!!! He still continued to sit there and stare... Don't really knows what he's thinking in his mind. All he knows is PLAY and EAT. I even tell him off. DID YOU SEE HOW I TEACH DARRYL AND JETHRO... VERY DIFFERENT RIGHT?? WHY DIFFERENT YOU KNOW OR NOT? CAUSE THEY WILLING TO SIT HERE AND LEARN TOGETHER WITH ME.. I DIDN'T SHOUT AT BOTH OF THEM.. I TEACH THEM NICELY AND EVEN LAUGH WITH THEM...YOU.. ONLY KNOW HOW TO MAKE ME SHOUT AT YOU.. EVERYTHING I TEACH YOU. RIGHT EAR GO IN.. LEFT EAR GO OUT.. ANYWAY, WHATEVER I TEACH YOU IS MEANINGLESS RIGHT!! THROW ALL THE PAPERS AWAY THEN.. NO NEED TO BRING BOOKS AND PENCIL BOX TO SCHOOL ALSO.. USELESS... Well, he just simply sit there like a BLOCK.. *speechless* Once the lesson was over, I smsed Stefanie and told her what had happened. As what she had mentioned in the sms, just teach him whatever stuff I can and if he wanna dream let him be and forget about it and just tell him the answer.. So it's like I'm doing for him in the sense and from Monday onwards will be only an hour lesson for him..Well, she had already given up on him as I can see.. For me, I don't really want to give up on him cause he's not stupid he's just lazy and I want him to be somebody when he grow up. As in his generation, NO CERT is = to useless. Even in my generation ya.. its very true isn't it... Sigh!! Hope he will understand this morale when he's older. Just got sms from Stefanie, she told me that Jethro scored 93/100 for his Maths.. WOW..feeling damn impressed. Was heart-broken at first but now.. feeling really happy inside. I then replied Stefanie, telling her that if his English also get Band 1, I will buy him all the nice mechanical pencils in the bookshop and same goes for Darryl. LOL!! She showed both of them the sms, Jethro said must buy me something cause I'm the one who guide him to this way.. Wooo... Damn SWEET ISNT IT... Right now, I'm full of smile.. Hee.. I was surprised he said that.. Once again, Stefanie did tell me don't bother about Rodrigo... Less Stress.. Yeah!!! True... wait I go crAZY how??? Haha... Well, my final reply was, Ok, don't bother and just let him.. After all, I'm glad to have a chance to teach Jethro and Darryl. Hee.. Jethro is the first one I started teaching in that household which was in July 2005 then followed by Darryl which was in Jan 2006 then Rodrigo in June 2006. Current Groove: Nick Carter - Help Me

*Last Lesson with YongXiang*
Today is my last lesson with YongXiang that Band 1 mischevious and talkative boy. LOL.. Kind of missed the times we spent together for these 2 years. Too bad, can't continue with him next year as my timing is being booked by Stefanie. His mum did mention to him that if he get band 1 for his English, both he and I will be rewarded cause since I came over to teach him his English had improved. Na.. I don't think so.. I just think that I'm helping him to maintain his band 1 standard. Yeah!! I agreed I do have high expectation for my students. I want them to score Band 1 as it proves that their foundation is there so that when they go into a higher level they won't be facing any difficulties in approaching questions, especially Maths. Supposed to be paid at 60 bucks for 3 lessons, I was being paid 120 bucks by his mum. LOL. Once I left his place, he laughed as he said today will be the last lesson. I said, ya ne. Haha.. well, its kind of weird in the sense. HAha... While I was waiting for the lift, I opened up my pencil case to double check did her maid really pass me $120. Yes it is!!!! I find it kind of weird, 8th lessons for 150 bucks how come 3 lessons for 120 bucks. I then calculated, NO ne I GOT EXTRA TIPPING. I then rang Baby and told him that. Well, I'm kind of greedy for money in the sense, but I didn't really got the guts to except this kind of free money. I went home, called his mum up and told her about it . She laughed. I then walked back to YongXiang's place and returned the "tipping" to him. HAha.. See.. I'm HONEST.. ISN't IT... Well, its mine I will take it, if its not mine I dare not take it.. CAUSE I DON'T WANT ANY CURSE!!!! Current Groove:Jimmy Ruffin - What becomes the broken hearted

*Gong Gong Day*
This morning went over to teach Melvin at 9am. Then rushed back home to shit. Shitted twice. Stefanie sms to postpone the timing. Thus I went to town. Planned to go buy assessment books for Jethro, Darryl and Rodrigo. Hmmm.. ended up at Heeren. Reached there, tattoo artist wasn't there.
"The tattoo artist will be here at 1.30pm so can you come later I'm busy right now!!" said that woman in a pissed off manner.
At that time I was rather pissed off with her attitude. Went to library to listen the whole CD of 70's song while waiting for the time to pass. Then smsed my pal to ask whether she's meeting me or not? Hmmm she then replied and said will be at about 4 plus. I said ok then. I then smsed Stefanie that today lesson cancelled. She didn't reply me thus I waited and waited.
Time passes quite fast as I was listening to songs and relaxing myself in the library and dazing at the buildings. LOL!!!! *DUMB* Infact, I'm kind of moody today.
Supposed to meet Eddie but I rejected him as I told him that I wanna be alone.
Strike at 1.30pm, off to Heeren to look for my tattoo artist. Well, of cause he's not Yong as I remembered he said he would not be there on Sunday. Backside itchy what.
Woo... Met him.. Sexy.. Haa.. I told him that I wanna be ankleband but he said hmmmm Ok let me see. He then went to take those designs to show me but most of them are rather thick which are for guys. Whereas, for girls there is only one design. I was like huh!!!! He then added:" Why don't you do tribal? like one tattoo on your ankle?"
I then showed him my ankle as I had already done one baby dolphin there which I find it's rather plain.
"Just did it?" he asked.
"Ya!!"
"When you did it?"
"About one week plus ago!!!!"
"Why don't you come in and let me design for you till you like it?"
"Ok."
"Ok.. then come in and give it a try." He added.
At that time, he was holding his cup of starbucks coffee and took a sip before designing something out for me. He let me sit on a roller-chair. As for him, he sitted on another roller-chair facing me and then patted on his lap and said:"come". (that's mean put my leg on his lap) I was like ah?? Oh!!! 0.o ok... LOL!!! *shy* ne.. Ooopps.. *melt*
As he was thinking of what design, I was looking at him in a closer look. Haha... Looks cool with a gugu spec and a tiny moustache. His hair was style with wax too.. His arms, were with two lion tattoo and his inner arm with a chinese tribal character. COOL!!!! *drooling*
He tried many designs but not really that nice.
He then added:" Not only dolphins are nice design, but killer whales are nice too as there's one customer did it and turn out to be quite nice and cool!!"
I was like wOw...
He then asked me do you wanna colour your dolphin, pink? Of cause I said no as I think my dolphin is damn small colour don't look nice either.
Finally, to one design that turned out to be not that bad. Obviously, by that time, my ankle was full of black marker ink and red pen ink. LOL!!! He let me settle down and decide first before he starts..
"You decide first while I go out for a 5 mins break!" he said... Guess what, he stood up and patted my kneel.. WOOO... HAhaha.. *melt* Nuts ne... I then sat there and looked at all the tattoo designs while waiting.
His back, with the smell of smoke. Hahaha... Wooo... COOL man smoke so COOL!!!
"Can I take a look at killer whales design?" I asked.
"Ok sure" he then went over to take all the designs and showed me.
"Hmmmm.. why not try to turn your dolphin into killer whale but that's challenging!!" he exclaimed.
"Well, not that easy and mine is rather small!"
He said:" ya, that's why cannot use thicker tribal lines if not your dolphin will look even smaller.."
Sigh!! All cause during the first time I was afraid that I couldn't endure the pain thus I picked a smaller one and after all, its not that bad.
He told me that for girls, some parts are sensitive like back area and lower back as these area are more painful compared to ankle and arms. Wooo... learnt something today huh!!!!
He tried drawing killer whale, but it didn't turn out to be great.
I then told him that why not use that previous tribal lines? I even suggested putting waves. He said that's an old school kind of thingy. I was like Oh Oh but I kept seeing them on most dolphin tattoo designs in the net. He did ask me if I want he don't mind doing it for me. I then told him.. neh.. do tribal lines then as I'm sick of seeing waves.. LOL!!!
After all the discussion, he then tried to draw out the previous design. Unfortunately, he couldn't recall, so do I. LOL!! I jus remembered one end there's 3 lines and at the other end was a very thick line. Ended up, he designed another one, but I think it doesn't stand out. He then rubbed off and design another. WOO...
"This time round I think it turn out to be good!" he exclaimed.
WOO.. One glance, hmmmm not bad and quite like it. OK deal.
"First time ah?" he asked.
"Ya. hee"
"How come feel like doing it?" he asked again.
"Well, out of the blue.."
"WOW, how I wish everyone suddenly out of the blue then I will have lots of customers!!"
We both laughed. Off he got all his things prepared and started. Haha, he's using PUMA metal pencil case LOL!!!
In my mind I was thinking he's going to ask me to sit on those kind of bed so that I could put my leg like that first time, unfortunately, NOPE.
I was then asked to put my leg on his lap again. LOL!! LALALA
Once I heard the sound, I didn't dare to look at it. Well, after awhile of looking side way, I turned my head and looked at it. But, most of the time I'm looking at him... Oooppps... HAHAHAA...
"Pain?? Pain" he asked in a very sweet manner.
"Nope, still ok.." I replied.
Then continued..
I looked at my ankle, wow... so black? How can he see the outline? I wondered in my mind?
Finally, its done. I then put down my leg. WOW.. feeling numb. LOL!!! I was wondering, he don't think my foot will stink his jeans ah ?? LOL!!!
"80 bucks ok!" He asked.
I then said ok.. LOL hmmm how dare he disturb me. Well infsct it's 50 only na..
He even asked me maybe next time round I can try killer whale as it turn out to be nice too or some coloured tattoo? If you are a person who likes tattoo maybe next time you can come over and covered up. I was like huh? I will never man, its ugly but for guys, they look cool with it.
I made my payment and off to wait for my pal. Infact don't really wished to bid goodbye. LOL!!! Anyway, I had been there for one hour and 30 mins. LOL.. *LALALA* He remined me to take off the bandage after 2 hours to let the tattoo to breathe.. I said:"Ya, if not that dolphin will die right.. Hahaha!!!" Tata, sexy cool tattoo artist...
Then got sms from Stefanie telling me that she couldn't hear her phone ringing and even her husband called her for so many times also didn't answer as it was in her bag. I then replied her back telling her to set the ringtone level to 5!!! She replied me back and said:" Got lei, its already level 5 leh... Hahaha" LOL!!!!
Can't imagine myself sending sms to my student's mum in such a casual manner!!!
Usual, shopping eat then home.
