tuition musings

Tuition today was slightly more mind-boggling than ever. My tuition sessions each week is usually quite a breeze since it's my second time gg through the entire P5 syllabus. But today, tutee's mum decided to get me to explain a math question. See, there's a reason why I'm only tutoring her English and Science. 

The math question was SO long. It was such a major turn-off just trying to finish reading it. *see stars* Plus the play of words and objects drove me nuts. Fortunately, tuition to me is a group effort and I SOS-ed my tuition helpers. Helper C woke up just in time 30min before my tuition ended and solved it all. YAY!

So not gg to teach primary school math ever- cnt use algebra!?!!. Now I really think algebra is one of the greatest invention ever. It's so useful. And my tutee is terrific. She was just one or two steps away from the answer. 

Impressive.

sore eyed sunday

Sunday started out with major tiredness, bad sinus and really swollen eyes that required extra effort to keep my eye open. Had to drag myself to tuition and got my daddy to drive me instead. Not in the mood to be driving :((

Finally endured 2h tuition session where I was trying my best to avoid eye contact with everyone but my tutee is a cray cray and super kpo girl so she kept looking at me in the eye. If this eye problem is contagious hmmm... then she's in trouble.

In any case, the boy came to pick me up and we went to study today.

It's impossible to have frivolous shopping dates when he has lots of quiz and I have tons of readings unread.

And to satisfy my week-long sashimi craving, we went to get a fat slab of salmon to eat-

Just for me.! Bcos the boy doesn't know how to appreciate the freshness of raw fish.

No pictures available as I was busy gobbling them all down. Hee!

Wanted to hang out at the cafes but all these sec school kids are such hoggers, 

we couldn't get any seats at all.

So we had no choice but to head to the nearest place we could find.

Tata~

He is such a gobbler too!

Finished the entire chicken burger in like 4min.

Monster!

Ended the day with dinner at his place. 

Home-cooked food is XOXOXO

Plus we don't have to wrack our heads to decide what to have for dinner.

For now, I'm gg to rest my damn-poor-thing eyes :(

backview couple shot today bcos my eye looks SCARY and 

to not aggravate it I didn't have any makeup on lest it makes things worse

grey skies sunday

Uber lazy Sunday.

I was chilling at home, just watching nonsense on tv and reading papers 

and totally enjoying being alone at home. (Y)

Things that is really quite a luxury to be doing most of the time,

before I finally drag my nua body out of the hse to meet the boy at 4ish.

There isnt much you can do at 4ish in the afternoon

and there was no good movies to watch AT ALL.

Spore can become quite a boring place after a while.

So we ended up going to IKEA since 

guys are more entertained shopping for housewares than clothes (weird ppl.)

And we somehow ended up in matching colours without coordination.

:)

Enjoyed the convenience of having a car today since his parents weren't using.

And it's the LAST time we will ever be in it ever

bcos the parents r gonna get their new car next week.

It's just a car to most, but this car was the first car we had on many of our dates,

the car that I/he practised in before I/we got my/our licenses,

the car that I drove beyond my comfort zone & conquered expressway (of pathetic east side places).

Just too many memories together with the car.

It's just bittersweet,

and certainly deserve a photo for memory sake.

XOXO

So much for posing while driving.

Dangerous driver. Tsk Tsk.

And that kind of ended our Sunday.

lazy sunday

Our Sunday was spent at the expo because the dear boys want to buy beer. 

Ya, Beer. 

I think ppl who stays in hall are essentially alcoholics.

They take beer like just another kind of soft drinks after meals.

Hmm. Personally not a fan of them bcos my blood circulation works damn well,

beer kind of makes my heart work too hard.

Anyway, the expo was MEGA CROWDED.

Even going to the loo takes a whole 10 min bcos of the q inside.

Perhaps it's the combination of food fair, electronic fair and john little fair,

I couldnt breathe with all e crowd!

Wanted to buy things from john little but the q was insane.

Prolly will take us at about at hour to the cashier.

Plus we weren't hungry yet and we had to get beer last since we dont want to be lugging the load,

so we decided to hang out abit so the boy cld get some work done, while i read my book.

But obviously, he ended up taking a nap instead.

Lazy bums...

And then we went back to get our stuff. 

JL q was still LONG, but slightly better.

Took us about 30min 

but at least we get to stock up our food stash for the month.

Him for school; me for work.

And he eventually bought 18 cans of beer.

I swear I wanted to strangle him.

fyi we didn't have the car today.

But he took all the load on his own so I shldnt complain. 

And eventually he lugged all 18cans back to hall.

I have a crazy bf.

what can I say =/

it's always the blurred pictures that captures his genuine smile

hmm...
