random thoughts: as a tutor, i should at least post a picture or two of my kids. look, i don't mind having a slow student, as long as she has the determination to work harder, i am proud. i was almost moved to tears when my kid asked me this: sister, are you disappointed with my mathematic result? and i went with a straight yes. i'm disappointed that you did not show great improvement; and that you did not try to apply all those methods i taught you, i claimed. soon, i heard some sniffing sound. omg, she was crying. good thing was that she tried so hard not to let me see her tears, that explained why she was looking down most of the time. i pretended not to see her tears; i pretended i didn't hear her sniffing sound; i pretended everything was fine, but deep inside i knew she was very much disturbed by my comments. and i, was very much disturbed too.

sorry honey, i had to do that for your own good. one day, you'll come to realise that since the day i set my foot in your house, they're only good intentions i bring along. :D

now, she's motivated and determined to do well; i'm proud of you.

just now, sweet preetyboy came all the way to my void deck so that he could washed his bike with me. sweeter. i had to fill up two big pails with water; nevermind, dad's the one paying the bill. hahaaa! oh, apart from that, i had fun washing his bike for him; while he, on the other hand, had fun video-ing my every move.
