I am halfway through “The curious incident of the dog in the night-time” after receiving the book from Crystal tonight. You know you really gotta read a book when 2 different friends mention the book to you randomly.
My tuition kid today said something funny. He asked me whether I wore perfume. Cause everytime he sits beside me for tuition, he will start to sneeze non-stop. And he only sneeze when I sit besides him. I replied ” I am not a flower with pollen grains.” And surprising I did not wear perfume today. Tsk tsk. Don’t blame your tutor-sensor radar which makes you sneeze on the tutor. It isn’t the poor tutor’s fault. And I realise I have a horrible habit of saying this ” Wa lau, so easy! How come you don’t know how to do?”
I sounded like my teachers last time. Maybe I shall motivate my students to study by telling them that they can say ” So simple. So easy” to their tuition kids or students next time.
For the month of July, I shall be a filthy rich tutor. Miss Pooh and Piglet is out of town and I have to take over. Say hello to 800 extra bucks that month. $$$. HF says money motivates me to work so hard. I agree. I slog all the time and stretch myself to the limit to have that extra cash flow.
After tution, it was time for mel’s party. I think we have a more enjoyable time than the birthday girl as we started to talk rubbish. Given my likes for encounters of the huge darker kind ( think shaq o neal and the likes), Miss Superficial said ” She doesn’t like a normal one cause she can’t feel when it goes in.”
tsk tsk. A horrible thing to say indeed. After which we started to talk rubbish, and the group wanted me to start dancing alone cause it was R&B and yup, it will be good entertainment. Siao to the max. R&B is definitely my kind of music since I appreciate the singers behind it. Hahhaha.
Rewind back to an incident I just recalled. We were at Macs when a guy stole an empty table. One of the first phrases which came to my mind and out of my mouth was Chao Chee Bye which I verbalised. Given my ahem demure looks and non-threatening face, the whole group of teenagers turned and stared at me. And some of my friends started to feel uncomfortable cause they got such a nice hokkien-sprouting-vulgarities-loudspeaker that they decided to move away from Macs. Macs, you lost business for 5 ice cream cones btw.
And towards the end of the party, I can’t help but notice that someone I don’t like very much was feeling a little left out since she was not sitting and laughing with us. I have never laughed with such might that results in escalating salty tears which stinks my eyes( my tears always have that effect on me) and extreme stomach cramps.
I am in a mighty hearty mood whatever that means =)
[...] You know the book I mentioned last night, I finished it. No wonder it won the whitbread book competition. It was really great and it gave perspective from another person with special needs. Go read it. April 23rd 2006 Posted to General [...]
