难以抉择 1 - 不开心的事

Today is the day i really felt like strangling my student. I really felt like asking him to get out of my class. I would have done that if he's my private student. Seriously. If the student don't see the need to listen and learn, then what for I waste all my energy after the already long day at work?

I take teaching as a passion and something I like to do. I'm happy when I see the kids learn and are able to play a song properly. However, I don't know if I'm just really that unlucky to get students of such. The 2 that were gone are also like that! I seriously don't know if it's just the kids nowadays or is it me.

So to speak the truth, I was really very disheartened when the kid treated the lesson like that. Although I'm sure he's rather scared after I flare up and didn't want to talk to him. He quieten down and immediately played better though not fantastic. I had no choice but to tell his mother about that. And I really felt better, it's like at least a 交待 to the parents about what is going on in the class. I would very much like his parents to sit in the class. But it wouldn't be a long term solution. And kids tend to hate this kind of things to happen?

Nowadays kids are just getting smarter and smarter, which leads to cheekier and naughtier too. Or is it just my students? 4 out of 5 are like that! So kudos to primary school teachers. Luckily I didn't go for the NIE primary school teacher interview (I may not get it as well). I remembered when I go and learn violin last time, I didn't even dare to talk back or defy my teacher. I don't even dared to talk to my teacher unless he asked. And strict training means strict training. I didn't like it 100% but i learned well! Like what are the kids doing today?

Even the quiet student doesn't register whatever I say. Many times, I told him that if he reaches earlier than me, take out his violin to practise! And I only think it's logical because to speak the truth, I don't think any of the students are able to fork out the time to practise at home everyday. So I'm already giving some chance to self-practise and get a little more recollection before the lesson starts. And I told them straight, they don't practise enough at home, so might as well use the time to quickly take out violin and start practising! I remember that's what I always do for my lessons whenever I didn't practise well enough. I would pray that my teacher doesn't come into the room so soon so that i have more time to warm up and look at the notes again. Then my student, every week I go into the room, he will just be sitting there doing nothing. Why ah?

Then 15min into the lesson or less, you can see signs of student showing tiredness, keep hinting through the painful sound, and can't wait to keep. Naughty one will just start talking, start playing a fool, and start pressing the piano. (I never ever touched my teacher's piano when he's around unless to tune). And keep wanting to sit down! Why do I meet such monsters?

I nearly cried in front of my student. Too stress I think, and I was thinking of something else also. But perhaps he'd be scared at the sight and start to listen to me? I don't know. But I don't want to take the risk.

And these students are the very reason why I'd rather give up the income from teaching and the joy to teach, compared to SYCO. If only they knew how to appreciate the effort. Plus, I don't stay in Yishun, rather, not even anywhere near, and I've been going there faithfully to teach all those demons. But every time I felt so drained from the lessons I think they are not worth it. But i know that SY is the place that eventually I will have to let go, so it's just a dilemma altogether. But the thing is if I continue to stay like that, I will never be able to progress well enough for both the CO and my own lessons. I feel guilty for not playing every time I go to lesson. Why don't my students feel that? :(

OMG HOW?

Mood spoilers: Some grumbles

So fast... Left with 1month till the end of the year. Still rmb last year we had a crazy time at Joel's house for countdown to 1jan09. So fast it's going to be a year already. What's in for this year then?

Ya... it also means last month in my current job. And i say the job status now is BAD. Dun think i'll be able to complete the task on time. But anyway. I was thinking. They think that i'm 'green', yet they decided to give me such a task. Isn't it kinda weird. Of cos, i have no experience in doing anything like that. And most of the time the E does not tell me things to do automatically. Then sometimes I wasn't told of anything they discussed with the designer/supplier. so what's the point huh? Then today my boss tell me that i must chase them for things... And that's the reason why i'm here. But they are asking an inexperienced person to do it? Isn't supposed to be I do what they ask me to do and job done? I think they are asking too much from a temp staff.

Although i really do not mind working for the company, i have 2nd thoughts as well... esp. towards this dept. Today the office was peaceful cos all the HODs are out for the whole day. and only my boss came back in the evening. Of cos there are ppl working their heads off, and some ppl just relax and had nothing to do, walk ard, sit tgt and chit chat and god knows what they are doing. Do they have to let the whole world know that they have nothing to do? The whole morning was spent eating breakfast and talking. Then lunch. Like WOW! Cool. Actually there's nothing wrong with slacking in the office, i do that sometimes, but dun have to be so loud and boomz. -.-

I guess tmr will be another day of rush.. to get everything done before my boss goes on leave (again). Here they say how important are the things but they are just always not ard. I can't wait to be away for a while, so that they can spend all the time looking after the mess. =x

Ok. It's just fit of the moment. I still have to do it. bleahs. All rights. Need to do a lot more changes tmr. Have to go sleep now. Nites

Dj working. 6ppl counted not bad. at least 50% of the attendance leh. :) Haha! Steamboat at Xian De Lai and dessert at Ah Chew. Er. Nv take photos cos no time lah. Busy cooking lor. They say i like have a lot of things in my bowl and on my plate but i nv touch at all. Lol! But in the end i think i ate quite a lot leh.. Right?

Wah. Bad cos eat and eat but i didn't go to gym nor run this week at all! =x Oh. gym once. for Toby's Street class. But that wasn't much a help. hahaha. somemore after that went to eat mac. -.- All gone. hahaha.

And no gym on weekends cos of bh on sat and sick on sunday. I'd rather sleep in. hahaha! All cos of the super duper heavy rain on sat. I think it's raining everywhere lah... and just so happened i was suay to be still waiting for bus to come back from bh. the bus stop no use de lor.. all the rain coming in from the front. got umbrella also no use lah. I was ALL wet from head to toe and still have to protect the erhu. So hor. totally shiver all the way during the 45min or more bus ride. cos raining then the bus driver drove slower lah. and i hate it when my shoes and socks are soaked too. so damp and cold to walk. Bathe right away... and still feeling cold. Wahraoos... Supposed to meet sushi and jan to go DblO at night. BUT i nv. :(

But my mother say she wants to mj. so da-jie, er-jie and i played. "赌桌上是没有亲情的" It's true. Totally. haha. Da-jie lost the most. i think her money all went to er-jie. I won a bit. Mummy lost also. Luckily lah... cos in front i lost until cham cham... i lost like $16 bucks straight before i start winning back. hahaha!

Bleahs

Haven't update for some time... practically no time to do it... and like what i'm updating during office hour now?! lol.

And into my last 2 weeks of internship and last 3 weeks of the 3 years in LASALLE. wah.. didn't expect the time to like really fly so fast.

Anyway... amidst all these busy schedule... i managed to have my fair share of relax time. Actually i thought the relax is like more that what i deserve. lol! =P

Work all that was ok... except for something which happened last friday. dun wish to talk abt it anymore. but i think it was the first time i ever lost my usual calmness when handling a customer.. Somemore over the phone. I dunno how come i can't control myself... i think it's because as the customer scold.. i was thinking of something else.. and i think it's rather unfair to me that the customer says that kind of thing. and i think that what she said (or rather shouted) was not true. And i wasn't even given a chance to explain. Very stupid hor? Then i think my colleague shocked to see what happened to me after i hung up.. =x

I thought i wun see that customer but in the end she didn't collect on sat and when she came on sunday. She questioned me. but this time i was really keeping my cool. and whatever she thinks that's her problem. If u think so highly of ur australia service centre. Go ahead. nobody is going to stop u or whatever. And i'm not interested in ur money! Please do not insult us. such a bitch.

But well... over already. Maybe lately too stressed... stress which i didn't feel... so more emotional? lol. Whatever. I want to faster finish my semester and start slacking! :) Ok. Time for lunch. Wah.. i took damn long to type this whole thing. haha!

what a start

In a bad mood... cos this morning... 3 suay things have already happened on me..

First... i woke up late. So i had to rush....
Then... i couldn't get up TWO 67s cos there are just ppl who doesn't want to move back... So in the end i got to take a train. (not to mention i'm a bit late for work)
Third... I realised i forgot to bring my office door pass. -.-

What a start to a day... i was angry cos 67 usually empties up at the mrt station. And i feel injustice to have to change my routine because of some selfish ppl who didn't want to make more space for other commuters. they probably didn't want to move in cos afterall they are alighting soon. but hey! there's other ppl who wants to take the bus badly so dun be such a bitch can. Argh.

But was lucky that i got a seat in the train anyway... not quite crowded.. and especially many alighted at bugis with me. sian-ed.

WAH!!! Damn sian to start a day like that right! :(
Hope it will not be any worse cos i'm running to a lot of places today.

Irresponsible classmate.

Was rather pissed with a classmate today.

Last thurs. the classmate asked me to help her buy a course kit for thurs class.. so ok.. since i was in school i just went up to the lib to ask. But the person actually already returned the original copy... so no choice. In between, she called me on tues to ask if i got bring my copy to school. i said i didn't but i can help her on thurs. Today... I was kind enough to bring my course kit for this mod to help her go to the photocopy lady to make a copy for her.. collect and everything. And bring it to class for her. In the end she didn't come! Cos of that i have to bring both the copies home! Note: I've nv brought the whole course kit to class before cos there's no need to. And i brought it to school today becos of her and this is the kind of shit i get. like WTH.

HELLO?! I already asked you this morning whether u are coming to class or not. if u are not then say so lah!! You think i really care whether you got come or not meh? We are not close friends and I'm not your whoever! i dun have the obligation to do all these for you, you know!? Why should i be taken for granted?! OH well.. i forgot. You were NEVER responsible. how could i be so stupid to be fooled? Seriously.. she better pay me back man. WAH LIAO. Damn angry leh. somemore my bag not very light lor. i think she should have just exited at level 2 and stop giving problems to the rest of the ppl in class.

ARGH. I know this is a very small incident. I'm not trying to be mean here but this person has not been the best classmate around. Best at complaints. best at talking loudly. best in shirking responsibility. worst in doing projects. (ok. maybe not the worst. but towards there) I've been in the same grp as her once. and that's it man. Hate people who can't keep their promises. At least when i nv make any promises cos i dunno if i can fulfill it. Dun tell me craps like 'promises are meant to be broken'.

Oh! and she didn't even bother to inform or apologise or whatever when she 'decided' not to come! What kind of person is this? Even if u are in a hurry or some emergency. It's basic courtesy! so i'm not bothered to msg or call her either.

Crazy for Bak Gua

The weekend was rather well-spent.. while today... is a total crap. haha.
If you think this is the craziest thing i've done... Today i broke the record...

I waited stood under the hot sun for 5 freaking hours to get this.... RAHH!!!

Too bad i didn't have wireless there.. if not i would have blogged on the spot.. to complain. lol! It's at Kembagan... just opp. the Shell petrol station. Apparently a lot of ppl goes there. And i'm one of them.. under my sis' order.

As if the wait isn't bad enough... there's a uncle behind ranting and ranting over the same thing... It's already annoying enough to be standing under the hot sun the whole time... somemore he repeat the SAME thing! i mean... at least like say different issues still fine. I nearly rolled my eyes. Like everyone's the same... he's not the only one who is waiting so long. but poor him lah... cos he went to buy on his boss' behalf... And he's only a pack for himself since he's there already... So will be more pek chek lah... But still. chill..~ Oh... Anyway.. I was there from 2pm till 7pm. The problem is... The queue wasn't exactly VERY long.. But some ppl bought super alot.. like free ones... and the ppl inside did their job quite slowly too.. so who to blame? So in order not to feel wasted... i bought slightly more than the original plan... since still got money left. Maybe that's what the other ppl think also.. But like what... $570 on bak gua?? I believe that's not the most... just the most i heard when i finally set my foot in the shop. that took me like 4.5h. -.-''' And i haven't tried it yet... wait till i do so... i will tell u if it's worth the queuing.. Anyway... there's still a lot of ppl queuing behind when i left..

Ahh... talking abt uncle ranting... Ytd i was waiting for bus to go orchard from opp. nafa... and there's this uncle who came and started telling everyone (loudly) to vote for the opposition for the next election.. he goes like ‘你一定要投反对党,千万不可以投人民行动党’.. (i'm just quoting what he said) Reason being he's in workers' party or something like that... and he applied to marry a china girl but he was rejected due to the above reason. and say that he has to run for election in order to get the application granted. and blah blah blah... he continues to repeat the same thing over and over again!! I was quite irritated actually. Cos it's YOUR business if you want to be in the opposition party. But what rights do you have to ORDER ppl to vote for whichever party? Then the other uncle who walked past was rather funny.. he said '分钱比较重要'... Which i thought could be quite true too... esp. in this recession time... :) Then i suddenly realise that i'm eligible to vote already! HAHA!

Anyway ytd was spent at uncle's house for lunch... and Hereen's nydc for dinner... plus rochor tau huay after that... Took quite a no. of pictures ba... cos some ppl are bored during dinner... and just keep snapping away.... with a few of my unglam photos -.- But i'm not scared of them!!! Haha! bleahs! Update more when i get the photos... :)

IBL starts tmr! Good luck to myself! :) Bye.

New toy! And some rantings too.

Hi!!! I'm happy today cos i got my new toy!!! HAHAHA! Nokia E66. Thanks to my phone... eh.. died on me on my day out with the royal family... and let me have the chance to get new phone! HEE!

Still exploring it... :))) And dad paid for the phone =x

Hmm.. other than that.. happy things lately includes getting tix for JJ's world tour concert 2009 and CATS! :))) Ok... I paid for the concert myself... but the CATS.. sis bought the tix. =P Next tix to get will be 天冷就回来!! That will be somewhere in jan.. YEAH! And of cos.. some SCO concert tix.. some interesting concert themes are coming back! Haha.

Anyway.. work was shag for the past 2 days... TOTALLY! Ytd i left work at 9.30pm and today at 9pm. Sian-ed. And really tiring... esp. ytd cos i didn't even have the chance to go out and get my lunch/dinner even when we have 3 ppl working... until end of work.. sighx. hopefully wun happen again.

And today.. only 2 person most of the time. Even more sian-ed.. but maybe it's a good thing too. =x Auntie on mc... my in-charge msg-ed me this morning and ask me go in earlier... i was a bit mean to ignore it at first... in the end i only went in 30min earlier... but then again.. the most i could was an hour... cos she 9.30 then msg me! auntie best... always got stunt... but well.. she should take care of her health too lah..

Then met yushi for movie... watched BOLT.. quite a last min decision.. cos we ganna pangseh-ed by 2 ppl who went to watch on their own already... so we just go watch lor... And i missed a little of the front part.. cos i was held up by the customer until 9pm! HELLO!! We close at 8pm can! They super buay zi dong one lor.. when she called at 7.20pm i already said we close at 8 and she still got the cheek to say she will come down with her husband now leh! Reached at 8pm... then choose for SOOOOO long... and nv have a conclusion... Er.. and i really can't wait already.. i had to leave... and they were still there. I wondered what was the result... and poor supervisor had to stay to serve them... tsk. Pls lor.. we are NOT obliged to wait for you to come ok.. TSK! So in the end i only left the shop like 8.55pm when the movie timing is 8.50pm! And i have to go all the way from Shaw to Cine. Cool! I half-walk-half-run there in like 10min or so... Cool too! Thanks to them.

But anyway.. whatever it is huh... i today suddenly feel very sad being in the service industry... i think cos i thought abt ytd i couldn't have my break.. and today even when i was having lunch at 3pm.. i wasn't able to have a quiet lunch... And after all these.. we still get very unhappy customers... I tried VERY hard not to roll my eyes when i pick up the phone... Afterall we are talking abt professionalism here... So I guess i could only say that there's no such thing as 'fair' in the world. isn't it? And i truly felt very unhappy. but ok.. I'm fine.

Sorry for the rantings.. i can't help it..
