Today's my free day for the week... have all the time to myself.. no tuition!! Always felt very happy before Tuesday comes.. but now that Tuesday is ending.. I'm feeling sad...=(.. tomorrow there's tuition all the way till 8pm... Thursday there's tuition till 6pm.. Friday have tuition till 10pm.. Saturday there's tuition till 5.30pm.. and Sunday... tuition till 4pm!!! Alright.. maybe I'm exaggerating.. my tuition doesn't start in the early morning.. but still its a dread to think that i have to end my day so late... I'm not like my brother... having gotten himself a girlfriend.. he still reaches home so constantly at 12am plus every night without fail... haiz...

I went down to Seng Kang Compass Point this afternoon after lunch.. went Popular to get some materials that i need for tuition.. and also to get the gift wrapper and card for my friend's birthday present.. i hope she will like the present that i chose.. haha... It was quite crowded down there... being a weekday afternoon.. it is a common sight to see large group of school kids in their school uniforms loitering around... some dining in costly restaurants.. some shopping around.. so yup.. just shows that kids nowadays are rich... even if they are not.. but given the pocket money that their parents gave them.. it made them feel rich... so most of them would just spend up till the last cent they have.. without leaving any left to save... alright.. i admit that i use to do that when i was young too.. but as we grow older.. we learn to understand the importance of saving... i just hope those kids would understand that fast enough when they grow up too... meanwhile spending more once in a while is find.. but definitely not fine if you over do it...

Was blog browsing just a while ago... one of my friend mention something about females being better suited to be teachers compared to males... Hmm.. haha.. thats a sensitive topic.. anyway my stand would be that yes indeed females are better suited as they are naturally equipped with the required criteria needed to be a teacher... that being patience.. this i think is a very important criteria that a teacher must have... i myself sometimes would also lose my patience sometimes with my tuition kids... but if i can.. i will always try to control myself... because for me.. losing my patience.. equal to me going to blow my top.. and that again equals to me not being able to deliver the rest of the lesson properly.. and that equals to the parent paying me and not making full use of their money... yup.. but i guess we must still give guys the benefit of the doubt.. i mean.. in my life as a student in school... i have to admit that i have met male teachers that are very dedicated in their teaching.. you can see that they really have a passion in teaching... although for me.. i would prefer a female teacher rather than a male teacher.. that's just me la... but no matter what a good teacher would be someone who has the passion in the job.. and truly cares for the students... When i first started out as a tuition teacher like about 1 year ago.. my initial motive is to earn some pocket money for myself through my 3 years in university... as i taught on.. i envy those people my age who are so carefree.. just having to care about their studies an nothing more... soon after.. i began to really care about my students... about how they do in school... why are their results dropping... what is it that they don't understand.. i try my best to guide them along in their studies not only because their parents pay me to do so.. but also because i know that the role i play is as of importance.. as every phase of their life as a student is important.. i want to help them to achieve what they can... as that would definitely benefit them in their future... that is what my life experience tells me... some of my students look upon me as an older sister.. sharing with me what they experience in school and stuff... I'm happy to listen... some treat me as their friend.. I'm happy too.. in all.. I'm glad that i met all of them.. and is able to help them in their studies as much as i could...

That aside.. i gave some thought into what I want to do in a few years time after I graduated... teaching would definitely be an option for me.. but also not the one and only one... we shall see.. =)

I'm looking for a sling bag like these... anyone knows where i can get one? =)

Today's Tuesday... which is my only day free of tuition for the entire week.. so being in a relatively good mood.. i decided to try baking cookies again.. wahaha.. this time round i tried to make the appearance of the cookies better... i used the biscuit shaper (i'm not sure if tt's what people call it) and made the cookies into shapes of rabbits.. gingerbread man.. and ships... haha... but then it still looked home made.. nothing like what we can buy outside right...

P.S. This is my recipe if your are interested =)

260g self raising flour

70g clustered sugar

70g brown sugar

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence

175g butter

chocolate chips * i forgot the amt.. but just added how much i wanted! wahaha

~ if u are really interested to bake some urself... and need the steps.. just let me know =)

最近在看的一部台湾八点挡的据集。 《真情满天下》... 很好看的！！ 演员群还有5566的协志呢！ 可是我不是纯粹因为协志才去看的哦！ 我是真的觉得这部剧的故事大纲很有意思。 它是一部台语的据集， 虽然说台语和我们本地的福建话很类似啦， 但是我也只是听得懂很基本的， 不过没关系， 还是能明白， 因为有华文字母！ 哈哈！ 戏里的另外两位演员， 我也很喜欢。 曾经在好几年前的另外一部八点挡看过他们精湛的演出， 就是 《霹雳火》。 不晓得大家有没有影响？ 那部剧， 曾经在我们本地电视台播过的。 而两位的其中一位， 陈昭荣， 就是演出另外一部， 当年， 所有的妈妈们都超爱的戏剧 《阿成》， 有影响吗？ 还有呢， 台湾偶像剧的《微笑Pasta》， 记得在里面演女主角的爸爸那位吗？ 他也有参与 《真情满天下》的演出。 只不过， 这次的角色是反派。 还有偶像剧 《格斗天王》 里演段宇桥的哥哥的那位， 也有在 《真情满天下》 演出哦， 也一样是演反派。 啊， 还有在偶像剧 《终极一班》里， 演亚瑟王的父亲， 那位也有演哦！ 我觉得超有趣的说。 =）

好了， 就想说这么多。 只是想上来， 把相对人说的话， 打一打罢了。 因为， 现在是学校放假， 和常见面的朋友见面的时间好像都没有了。 只是能偶尔通过sms或msn联络一下。 心里又是会有很多事情想找人分享。 也不是说， 现在不在一起念书的朋友就不重要啊！ 可以的话， 真的很希望， 大家在格忙格的同时， 也能抽得出时间叙叙旧， 感觉一定会很不错的！

I haven been trying to bake cookies that will not go flat everytime i bake them... so today i decided to give it a try again using butter... coz in the past i used margarine coz they are supposedly healthier... and guess what?! I succeeded!!! Wahaha.... so now i know what is wrong with all my previous attempts...=) But i guess the outer appearance of the cookies still isn't that wonderful... so that's something that i'm going to improve on!!! =)

Hehe... a pic of my new PSP... i'm so in love with the skin now.. wahaha...

I just bought a PSP slim on monday... haha... yup... am like soooo obsessed with it now.. haha but just feel obliged to update a post on what's going on recently... and since its now a new month already... July!! Haha.. yes... Dad's birthday coming as well... my tuition kids exams are coming too.. and my holidays are still on going as usual...

Past few weeks i have been doing like the same routine week after week.. eat sleep wake up go tuition play computer.. and now plus my PSP....

But i'm sure my PSP will come in handy.. like when there is a short break between my 2 tuition.... could use that to kill some time.. instead of walking around aimlessly in a shopping centre.. as that gives rise to the tendency to spend money....

Yup.. that's all for now.. i suppose the next post will be quite some time later... unless i have something special out of the usual that i want to blog about.. haha... Ciao....
