old men (a.k.a. desperate perverts)
i don't understand why so many old men in singapore are hooked up with young women from PRC.. in these few months working here in this company, i have seen a number of old men coming up to my office to register for new business with young, pretty PRC women.. most of them either registered import & export trading or beauty & massage centre.. and they always look intimate: holding hands, lying on each other's shoulders, wispering, etc.. it just gross me out totally..
why are these old men so stupid and desperate? don't they look into the mirror at anytime of the day? they are old, either totally bald or not far from there, full of wrinkles, smelly, with a beer-belly.. do they think that they are still charming and are able to captivate young girls' hearts? isn't it obvious to them that all these girls are eyeing nothing but their money? why so these old man never learn their mistakes? there're so many reports on old man being conned of all his saving by young girls, and yet they never learn from these lessons..
i guess they think they'll not be that unlucky.. that the girl they are with love them truly..
well, full of crap.. foolish, pervertic men..
Children
to be frank, i always wanted to have a big family of my own in future.. wanted to have 5 children after i got married.. haha.. i always thought it's my dream.. to be a mother of five.. until sunday, after giving tution to K2 kid, a sudden realisation striked me:
I don't like children.ok, i don't hate them, i don't see them as pests and nuisance (such people exist; some extremist think this way), which i think it's a piece of good news.. but i don't like them.. i think they are difficult to handle and they are nothing but just pain in the a**.. nowadays the children are so naughty and difficult to teach; they are disobeident and show no respect to their parents, lss to say other elderly; they are mean and quarrelsome, selfish and self-centered..
i'm not saying that i'm perfect and i have no flaws in my character at all.. but the thing is that they are too much for me to handle.. so far, all the little children i see or hear are no angles; they are all devils hidden beneath some adorable faces(some don't even look adorable).. i don't think i have enough love in me to tolerate them.. i can't stand misbehaviour.. and chldren nowadays just love poking their noses around, looking for trouble.. they love to misbehave, especially in the public.. i think if i have children of my own and they behave like how other children do, i'll either beat them to death or i'll end up in mental hospital.. what kind of stress will i be facing if i have children next time man..
sigh.. guess i am not cut to be a mother.. maybe i'll just keep pets in the future and take them as my own children.. at least if you train them properly, they'll be obeident and loyal to you until they day they die..
A great day being a private tutor
sunday was one of the greatest day in the year 2006: i tried being a private tutor. this is what happened on that day:
in the morning i went to a family, was suppose to give tution to a P1 boy, teach him English and Chinese.. the day before (saturday) the agent told me and re-comfirm me at least three times that i am supposed to go to that family at 8.30 in the morning.. so i woke up really early (7am, on a Sunday!) and i reached their place before 8.30.. and guess what the mother (aka my employer) said to me when she saw me?
"i thought i want the tution to start at 9 o'clock, why you come so early?"i was shocked to hear that, and after telling her the agent asked me to go at 8.30am (she gave me doubtful look when i tell her that, as if i'm lying.. but what good will it do me if i come earlier than required?), she shot me again,
"is that you? yesterday i waited for you for more than an hour but you never turn up for the tution, why you didn't come?" i was confused; the agent was the one who asked me not to go to her house, she called me again around 1pm and asked me to go her house the next day, so why is it that she's scolding me for not turning up? it's not my fault at all; i wasn't informed! but she looked doubtful anyway, most probably thought that i was lying.
and then, she "shot" me again, after i asked her if i can start tution at 8.30 instead of 9 (because that irresponsible, evil agent gave me two assignments at a go, and i have another one in bishan at 10.30am, which clashed with this one. i told her this problem, and the agent actually asked me to tell the parents myself instead of arranging it for me, how nice of her right?)
"i am the one paing you, not the other way round. so you suit my timing, not the other way round. you understand? so if you cannot suit my timing, then must well don't start the tution! right?" and i gladly
obeyed her..
can't imagine giving tution in this kind of family.. i can't imagine what she'll say or do if next time if something cropped up after i go university and i can't make it for tution.. better don't risk teaching this kind of people just for the money (and it's not like she's paying me lots: 8 lessons, each 1.5hr for $120, and she's staying in semi-detached! so stingy yet so demanding)
i went home, then after awhile, i left for the other tution.. i have to tution a K2 boy English and Maths! never did i imagine people hire private tutor for their K2 children..
that boy is so naughty! he couldn't sit still for more than 15 minutes, all i did in that 1.5hr session was to teach him his spelling.. and he kept forgotting the things i taught him.. he just couldn't concentrate and focus in his word.. kept running to his bed and play doll.. his family is of no help at all.. they kept walking in and out of the room monitoring us, and that gave that boy a really good excuse to drift off.. the mother told me he's really bad in maths, and i was speechless when i saw his word: maths in K2 is just counting numbers, and yet he couldn't do it. how am i suppose to teach him?
luckily they cancelled the tution.. they informed me through the agent.. was relieved to hear that also.. my tution fee's gone, of course, but i can't care less; all i want is to drop that tution and never see that family again.. i really don't know how to teach K2 count and spell..
so it's not so easy to be a private tutor after all..
my phone
i can't help but think that objects have emotions.
my kejian(samsung)C100 is throwing tantrum, and i am not lying.
for the past two days my brother have been trying to download photos and ringtones into my C100, he failed. apparently, my computer cannot detect my C100.. and the strange thing is that a few days back, when i was still using the C100, he had no problem downloading ringtones and photos. it only start actinig like this after i start using my vs6. so weird right?
then on the day i bought my new line, i tried inserting my new SIM into C100, it rejected it, showing this message: SIM CARD CRASHED WITH CONTACTS PROVIDER and then BROKEN SIM CARD.. and since that day onwards, my C100 reject all other SIM cards except my old number's (i put the old SIM card in and it can function normally).
really wonder what happened to my C100.
"over the hedge" + "the five people you meet in heaven"
over the hedgei hardly write movie reviews for good movies; i don't know what to wirte. but this time i made an exception, because i think that
over the hedge is really a nice and meaningful animation one has to catch (only applicable to animation lovers and fans)
over the hedge(DreamWork Production) is far better than
the wild (Disney's Production), both released around the same time and they are about animals.. it's a movie about protecting the environment and caring for the animals, and it's being bring forward to the viewers in an obvious, yet subtle, direct, yet interesting method.. the characters are really adorable(unlike the wild, they looked kind of stupid and a little too serious for children).. hmmm.. actually i really don't know how to describe a good movie.. hmmm.. aiya! just go catch it la!=]
the five people you meet in heavenwhen i first heard the title, i thought it sounds interesting, so when i saw it in the MPH bookfair, i bought it straight away, without any hesitation (my mum read the chinese-translated version & she told me it's good).. in the end, the book did not disappoint me at all. just like what the title suggest, it's indeed an interesting book.
this book is a short novel, a story about a man, named Eddie, after he died and he went up to heaven.. and he met the five people that had crossed his path and affected his life, directly or indirectly.. i've not finished reading it (only half way through the third person), but the book has already mesmerized me..
when we talk about how heaven is like, most people, including myself, would picture it as a place with lot of flowers (or clouds), with the birds chipping happily away and harps playing merry and smoothing tunes..basically, to us, heaven is like utopia.. however, the author gave a total different perspective of how heaven is like: heaven is not an utopia, heaven is a place we learn and understand our past and for us to repent the mistakes we made when we were alive.. death, is the end of our lives, but it's also the beginning of another journey, a journey of self-realisation, to unsderstand ourselves and the reasons for all the happening in our lives..
each of the five people Eddie met after he died taught he a lesson about his life, and by reading the book, i learnt a few things about life as well.. the story has taught me a few important values.. for example, the second person Eddie met taught him that humans made sacrifices when they are alive, big or small, with or without us knowing.. there is no fair or unfairness in this; it's just the way of life..
what i like about this author and his style is that he does not lecture his readers, he does not go into a big long lecture about life and how and what we should do. instead, he stopped right after he made his point, and the readers are given rooms to absorb and ponder on the points he made.. and bviously, different individuals will come up with their own understanding of his point, but i think that is exactly what the author want us to do; to think on our own.
for example on the second lesson, i learnt that since we are making sacrifices all the time, knowingly or unknowingly, so we should not complain or grumble if we have to make any sacrifices for someone else.. becuase no matter how, we'll definitely have to make sacrifices, so what is the point in complaining?
the five people you meet in heaven is really a good and inspiring book , one should not miss such a good book, do read it! (well, can borrow from me if anyone is really keen..haha.. i don't mind sharing great books with people..)
VS6
got my new handphone yesterday.. went all the way to yishun with my brother and mum last night after dinner (the neaest m1 shop is in yishun, if not sembawang).. queued for almost half an hour before it was our turn (the shop is so small and there were so many people buying handphone, guess their promotion really attracted alot of people, including me).. when i told the salesgirl i wanted VS6, she was like,
"you sure?"*sounds like i was buying a bomb, instead of a mobile*..
and when she came back with the phone, she was like,
"you sure you don't want to consider other models? you can get a much better phone with this money you know.."
and i told her a straight, flat "No!".. but i am thinking actually i could have looked at other models before buying.. i mean what's wrong right? but well, i guess it was kinda late and the queu behind me just got me feeling uncomfortable.. made me feel like it wasn't a time to browse through mobile phone models..
so now, i changed my plan (from SingTel to M1), changed my number and changed my phone..
later after i got home.. my old phone gave me a big scare.. i tried to insert my new SIM card in and my old phone kept rejecting it, stating that it's a broken SIM card.. really freaked me out(thought i spoilt it when i took it out from my new phone).. haha.. it's like my old phone's "jealous" or something.. i would be really upset if this old phone spoilt you know.. 'cause no matter how, this phone has been with me for 2 years plus.. i am attached to it in some way..
just hope nothing will be wrong with my nes VS6 in these two years.. scared it's "petty", "jealous" over my old phone and go "hay-wire".. some more i'm very bad in luck with it comes to electronic.. it always spoil when i lay my hands on one of it.. my old phone is an exception.. hope this VS6'll be another exception..
and i hope my old phone can still function after years later.. it's my darling phone.. both are my darlings.. don't wish to see anyone of them spoil..
oh ya.. and i went to visit the m1 website after what that salesgirl told me.. was curious what other good phones are there available in m1 shops.. then realised what that salesgirl meant by "around this price range" is S$100~S$198.. and all the good phones i see on their web are those of S$198.. only have two other phones which is S$128/ S$138.. and i can tell you, besides not being able to expand its memory, my VS6 function and features is better than the other two.. and i don't think i'll need to expand my memory.. i used my phone to chat and sms only.. if my meoery is really full, i'll just save my stuff into my computer.. besides, memory sticks/ cards (or whatever one calls them) are rather expensive.. don't think i'll waste my money on buying them..
so i guess my VS6 is good enough for me..
bored.
done with my work before 3.30.. have been doing nothing for one hour and 45 mins already.. yet i still have 45 min of boredom.. darn.. feel like i'm wasting my time here.. how i wish i can give tution after this job.. two offers blew off because i'm working.. but well, i don't think i can give much tution after school start..
sigh.. i guess i just have to endure this boredom for like another week? after that i'll be staring at the computer again, but at home by then.. should be glad that i'm doing nothing and yet i am being paid for every single minute..
bored.
damn again!

damn!
they ringed me up again.. this time asking me if i want to give tution to a primary four boy staying in hougang.. teach him everything except chinese.. you know what? this opportunity slipped away again.. it is not because i turned down the offer (i am not so stupid to turn down two offers in a row).. i am working! the parents want me to start tomorrow afternoon.. but i am working, i can only go there in the evening, earliest around 7 (and i think i'll have to skipped my dinner).. and so i guess they want someone else who can go their house in the afternoon..
ok, i understand it's school holiday now.. who'll want their children to have tution only in the evening when they have the whole morning and afternoon?
sigh.. guess i can only start giving tution after i got "fired" here..
need to get a new job..
sian..
damn!
31.05.06
damn!
less then 15 min ago a tution agent ringed me up asked me if i want to give tution for e. maths and combined science (physics, chemistry).. i actually turned down the offer! even though i didn't do very badly in both my A's and O's in these two subjects, i am not confident in teaching chemistry, more so in physics.. i don't know how i scarp through these two subjects in these 6 years.. didn't have much clue as to what i was learning.. just stuff everything in books/ notes into my brain and go for exams.. that's how i pass my 6 years with chemistry and physics..
but teaching and learning is very different.. i don't want to confuse someone else.. i mean how can someone who's unsure of the subject teach others? even though i want money, i don't want to earn it through evil means; i don't want to bring harm to others by teaching them the wrong things..
call me stupid, please.. i bet after this incident, they won't call me up again (c'mon! who'll recommend a tutor who has no confidence?).. sigh.. guess i'll just have to sign up with more tution agents and try my luck again (you know.. higher probability).. maybe someday, some agent will call me up.. sigh..
