Eternal torment: The Search

Friday, January 27, 2006

First things first, i don't expect to be blogging for the next three, maybe four days so happy early lunar new year to all.

SO, let's get to today's events! Went for my stint early and found out that the teach in charge had finished it for me. THUS i got to see the CNY concert. best bit? I'm the only ex-student allowed! haha! :P Hey, being a volunteer HAS its perks like being allowed to buy the food there and so on..I just think it's fucking ridiculous to impose such a rule lah but it seems to be commonplace in many schools. Esp And. :)

Anyways, completed all the testing. Didn't teach the twenty odd kids ALL the alphabets lah, unlike yesterday because not enough time. Still, it was as fun as ever. Today had to test quite a number of foreign students. I like this India-born girl. Her determination to study is soooo admirable! Oh and then there was this cute little China-born girl who actually cried because she cannot read! So kelian lor...then when she read one word correctly, she was so happy! :)
Then had a couple more of china-born students, mixed with the local onces of course. I suspect one of China boys has ADHD aka hyperactivity. Look up wikipedialah if you don't get what the hell i mean.

Anyways, found out more about signs of dylexia in young children too. haha. Oh and I MUST tell you this funny storylah. The last kid to be tested was named something that looked arabic to us so we THOUGHT he/she took malay. When I went to get the kid, the malay teacher looked at me like I'm nuts. So later found out from office that it's a MONGOLIAN GIRL! Strange thing is, she's taking mandarin! (when she knows nothing of it!) haha. So damn funny lah.

Then keyed in the results and then headed to Anderson. Was too late to catch the concert but yeah. it was damn fun to see many people I know after such a long long time! So fun! Oh and held a Hi contest with Yvonne , ex 4/1 classchair, impromtu. Lol. She won...:( and of course ppl looked at us but like I care! :P

So damn high to see everyone!

Then it rather blah when it was time to leave. WANTED to watch matchpoint but no one to accompany. Then rmb that my auntie has half-day today so yeah went to meet her at taka. and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise!

At this rather well-hidden place in Taka, lies Royal Copenhagen! God, that place serves the VERY VERY BEST EARL GREY! Hey, I LOVE my teas kay! And the green tea cake was a nice complement to the minty goodness of my favourite tea! I think it's damn worth it! It comes in a fine china pot! Didn't really like the ordinariness of the Azu tea.

Then had lunch at pizza hut. I ate until I vomitted. Wonder what's wrong with me. Maybe because my stomach got shock because I last ate at 10 and it was 4? Hmm...whatever. At least I got to savour the tantalising pizzas.

Then headed to Jln Kayu to have dinner. :)

Yup, it was the best way to celebrate CNY!

Gong Xi Fa Cai! Wan Shi Ru Yi!
