Don't you ever say I just walked away --- I will always want you

Overheard my P6 kid telling the counter-lady today at the tuition center:

"I love math tuition because of three reasons: 1) I like my teacher 2) I like the lessons 3) I like math!"

So happy because in the past year of teaching at the center, it's been my goal, no matter how busy I was in the week, to bring these to the children: Love for math, love for tuition lessons and solid math facts.

And so, I had always tried to incorporate fun and games into my lessons because I believe that rote learning gets children nowhere and fun enforces learning by at least 3 folds.

Satisfaction when the kids blossom is definitely there but teaching career in future? Still nah for now. Let's see how I fare at auditing first. Haha. But its a good balance to face cheery, worries-free children at the end of a week of sullen workingclassmen.

It's just about that time again. Reading week never fails to disappoints. The energy sucked out of your living soul, the weary mornings, depressing nights where your study schedule is screwed up because its just impossible, IMPOSSIBLE, to revise a semester's work in one day.

Maybe I'm slow and dim-witted but its terribly hard for me to do up my cheatsheets, revise, work on some examples in 1 day! Why 1 day when I have an entire reading week right? Well, I have 6 modules in which all are finals heavy this sem (first time have 6 finals, all the other sems I had 4), its just a terrible fate and self-abuse I swear.

This is freaking impossible. But I will strive on. I have nowhere else to go but ahead. Wish me luck. Wish all of us luck.

One day, I'll return to the beautiful New York City when it is snowing.
And I can't waittttt

I have a best friend.
Someone who I really enjoy spending every moment with.
Someone whom I always have fun talking on the phone to, the same person whose presence makes me feel accompanied.
The person who will listen to anything and everything I have to say - which is usually a lot of rubbish.
The same person who never ever made me feel small, but only have compliments and encouragement for me.
When I'm with my best friend, time just flies and everything we do is just so silly and funny.
I'd rather be angry or sad but physically with this person than happy and content alone.
Somebody I can really, really count on.
Someone who I can finally be certain, will not backstab me, stand me up, cancel an appointment on me because something else is more important.
Somebody I can immediately fly to when I feel happy, sad, disappointed, anxious, angry or even neutral.
And guess what?
This person - I'm also in love with him.
