post busy week...

this week has been kind of eventful. it was a really packed and tiring week, which totally drained my energy.

exam week for my tutee will always be challenging for me, especially when i'm working now and can only go down to their house at night times. after going down on mon tue thurs fri sat and sun, i kinda really treasure my free days. of cos the money has been good, but i'm totally drained at the end of every day, and will just fall asleep after i bathe each day. good thing my bro had been sending me home from my tuition every weekday night, if not i seriously have no idea how i survive each day.

the worst thing is when you realise that your tutee doesn't even appreciate all the effort you have been putting in to get his results. when i went down on sat, i realised that he arranged for chinese tuition on tuesday night when his bio is on wed. so i told his sister to try to change his chinese tuition so that i can come down on tue instead.

and guess what? he actually told his chinese tutor that he doesn't need to study for bio. but the problem is that we haven't even started bio AT ALL! this is after telling him tons of time not to arrange any other tuition on tues night. and knowing him, he doesn't even study anything outside tuition, which essentially equates to him wanting to attempt not studying and just sitting for his exam! wth.

sometimes i wonder why i'm putting in so much effort when he doesn't even care. to put it bluntly, i may be going down because the money is good. but why make my life so miserable when he doesn't even care? i'm just courting misery for myself isn't it. sigh. i also want him to do well, cos that means i've fulfilled my responsibilities. but judging at his attitude, i seriously think everyone else is more anxious than he is, which is really sad.

ah well. i already complained to many people about this. and good thing i met up with charles and cedric after my tuition on sat. we had a mini food trail to explore the circle line. we first met at old airport rd and ate popiah, rojak and carrot cake. then we took mrt down to nicoll highway and ate waffles and ice cream, after which we went down to chinatown to drink koi bubble tea! not a lot of stops, but nevertheless, the catching up was good. i really love having such sessions and chatting to old friends and thinking back about all sorts of things.

the past few days, however, hadn't been too pleasant. had been having abdomen pain after dinner, and a bit of diarrhoea. went to polyclinic and was diagnosed with stomach upset, though i am not very convinced about it. but of cos i also dun have an alternative explanation. sometimes i just feel like changing my entire digestive system, but if life can be so easy, we all wouldn't be complaining.

and my dad has officially tendered his resignation, which means from july onwards, my family would have two retirees, and the breadwinner is....my bro, who essentially would only have started work for less than half a month. HAHAH! of cos the good thing is i'm earning my own money, so i dun think they are gonna give me any allowance anymore. ah well. it's time they retire anyway. i should think we're still able to finance our expenses, the only issue being the car. but for now, i think if my dad has already made the decision to retire, he prob would have made the necessary calculations to see if they can finance their own retirement.

time to prepare for the second week of internship!!
