My student got back her prelims and she flung her Maths again.

I am seriously very worried for her. It's not that she is not hardworking. If that's the case, I can just scare her abit and she will study. She did study. But.. the level is still not there I think.

Her misunderstanding is always not something I expect.

First 20 units of electric supply cost $1/unit.

Subsequent electric supply costs $1.16 per unit.

The question asks to form an equation for n units of electricity.

Knowing that she might not understand what the question wants, I guided her step by step, by asking her, if it is 60 units, what's the cost?

She replied something like, 20 x 1 x 1.16.

I was puzzled. I cant figure out what her mind is thinking about. So I decided to go more in-depth.

I drew:

--20-------40-------------

I------I-------------------I

--$20----$(40 x 1.16)-----

She said she understood. So now back to n, it will be 1 x 20 + (n-20)1.16.

But she asked me why 1 x 20.

Sigh.

I am Vexed. Worried. Disappointed. I dont wish my student to go ite. I feel the responsibility to ensure she do well for her Maths.

I told her, "if you wanna go poly, u have to pass your maths. If you fail how? Where you wanna go huh?" She went silent. "And you always fear long questions. If you are scared of them, how are you going to solve them? It's not that difficult as you thought."

SIgh. I dont know how else can I help. I dont know what's the best solution for now. I hate it when I cant think of a definite solution.

Disturbed. I should put it aside and prepare for my translation quiz tomorrow.

I love kitty.

haha.. posted @ Friday, September 26, 2008

I always put my bear infront of me when I am studying. And my mummy will always come and talk to me. She always asks very irritating stuff like..

"what's the sound produced by the fax machine when the fax came just now?"

"when is our new yoga starting ah?(when I told her the date yesterday and the day before)"

"how's your phone?"

"your bear is very dirty, never bathe before, as dirty as the owner."

"very fast, twelve o clock already hor?"

"Girl, I wore this top once only. Nice or not ah? Fat or not? Can or not? I seldom wear blue."

and many more.

It's so random and annoying. So just now, I deliberately whispered loudly into bear bear's ear, saying, "bear bear, you see, that aunty there so noisy, told her the date million times and she still asked me again just now."

And my mummy replied, "siao! bear bear deaf u still whisper into his ear."

HUMPH!

I love kitty.

Dinner @ Soup Spoon posted @ Thursday, September 25, 2008

Had dinner @ Soup Spoon. I think as we grow up, finding a time when all of us are available is harder. And that's why, we cherish such moments more! =)

On the way back home met Mollie. And we were laughing at some bo liao stuff. bo liao but damn funny stuff. HAhahaha...

I love kitty.

Pictures credited to my junior's friend who posted them on facebook. And i took it without permission. haha. But i tried my best to choose those blurrer ones.

I was looking at my dunman high junior's pictures in facebook and came across these few. Kept thinking that all these backgrounds look so familiar. And I thought of it. Its the old RJ Campus.

OH my... these photos really brought back lotsa memories. Memories of both my sec and jc times. The uniform, the pe scenes, the pe teacher.. all so familiar!

Yet, the background and setting are even more familiar to me. Memories of my pe times during jc days, how we learned ballroom dancing at that corner, how we queued up for the water cooler behind the hall after 45 mins of sweat, how we walked down the stairs to this hall, how we thought of ways to pon pe lessons.. those were the old jc days.. Though my class hardly keeps in contact now, its still fun recalling all these.

I still feel very weird whenever I see these pics - my sec uniform but jc campus background. I think only enqi, toonli, wendy and lejia can understand this feeling.. right girls?

I love kitty.

ridiculous people posted @ Monday, September 22, 2008

I cant believe such ridiulous people exist in this world.

On Sunday, my parents and I went to Changi Village for the chicken rice there. My mummy and I spotted one vacancy. While we were walking towards there, a young man carrying huge backpack came quickly from the right. Looking at us, eyes wide wide, he put down his backpack on the chair and asked all his teammates to come.

My mummy and I, standing at the vacancy with that freaking man, looking totally stunned. How can he snatch our seat like that? No slight apologising look at all. I refused to move away from the vacancy.

His teammates came one by one, looking at me, wondering why I stood there, as if I was blocking their way. Didnt even ask the stupid man if they have taken our seat nor apologised. Some of their bags even knocked against me. I was so pissed can.

I asked how many people they have. The stupid man still didnt feel that he did the wrong thing, answered me loudly 8 people. He sounded as if "yes, we got 8 people and u? 3 only? This vacancy has 8 chairs, so just get out of our way."

I was fuming. Really fuming.

This bunch of Ngee Ann Polytechnic Canoeist really dont have the slight courtesy at all. So rude, ill-mannered and uncivilised. What have they learnt after living in this world for around 2 decades? Snatching others' seats and dont feel guilty at all? Feeling that they are of a higher level, allowing them to get what they want and not give a thought to the others? Such behaviour is really very ugly. It's really ridiculous. I have never seen such babaric behaviour from tertiary students. Fancy wearing their school name and behaving so illy. Seriously I wonder how on Earth do they get such rotten attitude.

As you can see, I am really pissed about it. As a result, my whole family were walking around, deciding on other food to have for dinner. But I could sense that it really brought my whole family's mood down cos we really wanna have chicken rice for dinner. We were so looking forward to it. So we stood at the chicken rice stall waiting for vacancy for more than 20 mins while the bunch of ugly people enjoyed their food there.

In the end, I asked the stall aunty to set up one more table as we had been waiting for quite some time. And what a coincidence, the aunty set it up just diagonally from the bunch of people. I sat facing them. Since facing them, I couldnt avoid but to look at them. Or rather glared cos I was still very pissed off. The man still gave me that indifferent look, enjoying chatting and eating with his teammates.

In the end, I used my palm to support my chin with my middle finger up. And they saw it. But I dont give a damn. It's for them to see anyway.

Another ridiculous incident.

Today, I was on the train reading. Beside me were two empty seats on the left and one on the right. One group of foreigners came boarding this train. Judging from the language they spoke, should be Indonesia, Phillipines, Myanmar or dunno what lah. Definitely not Singaporean. I am not saying Singaporeans wont do such things. There are ugly Singaporeans as well just like that bunch of babaric students.

Two of the foreigners rushed to the two empty seats beside me. Such common behaviour really put me off. They really rushed, as in running, not walking briskly. They were running. Like how I chased after the bus, that kinda speed. Freaking ugly.

I wont show my displeasure. It doesnt affect me what. But another girl, she came running in also, and sat in between me and that guy friend of hers.

HELLO! 2 seats means 2 seats! How can sit 3 adults? If you 3 can stick your butts to the 2 seats space, I dont give a damn over how you all wanna sit. 3 stack on top on each other also can so that the 4th friend get to sit as well. She was practically sitting on half of my thigh! SIAO one leh! Blind is it? Or her butt lost the sense of touch? Cant feel that she is sitting on my lap ah! And I am not her friend. I am a stranger to her! OMG. I can feel my heart beat faster and faster. She thinks that by doing so I will move over to the vacant seat on my right so that she can sit on my seat with her friends? Sorry, I wont give up my seat to bitches.

I looked at them, annoyed. One of their friends saw my annoyed face and yet did nothing. So I took off my earpieces and said, "EXCUSE ME!" The stupid girl then lifted her butt off and sat on the vacant seat on my right. And I made a loud "TSK" after that which caused all of them to look at me. Seriously I dont care. They should feel paiseh enough to scold me back. After which, they didnt dare to talk to each other.

I still cant believe what has happened till now. Some stranger actually sat on my thigh. So dirty. Yucks. Now my clean white dress is stained. Stained with whatever bateria which is not visible to naked eyes.

This is so ridiculous! It's really something so out of the norm. I dont care how they squeeze on the train or bus back in their country. Here's Singapore. Our seats are so nicely separated. We dont forcefully stick our butts to the minute space between two persons.

I seriously dont understand why there are such people. Two incidents in a row. It's so ridiculous that I cant help by let out a few laughter. Am I suay or what.

I love kitty.

Birthdays! posted @ Sunday, September 14, 2008

Today my family celebrated my mummy's bday in advance! My mummy loves to take this neoprint thingy ever since we first took it when I was 18 years old. And that becomes our yearly bday routine after a nice meal. Both my parents are highly fascinated by those flowers and stars I added on the pic. She will always ask me to put some flowers or stars to cover her tummy. HAHA.

This is my favourite out of the four. I added crowns for all of us~ Haha.

My second favourite. I love the bow on my daddy. So funny. And my mummy asked me to put some gold necklaces on her. -_-

Went to Shinyi's bday on Sat. And it's nice seeing my pri sch friends again. If not for all the 21st bday parties, dont think we will meet up at all. I really really really reallu love Wii. =/

Huey Shyan, me and Joyce

Kingsley and me

Shinyi, me, Kingsley, Huey Shyan and Ma Zhen Xiang

newphone posted @ Monday, September 08, 2008

My daddy bought me an iphone! And that explains where my weekend time has gone to.

And I felt so silly. I always thought I can save my contact list in my sim card so that when I switch phone, my contact list will still be there. Apparently this iphone doesnt allow me to do that. Or perhaps I dont know the way to. So I spent hours copying all the numbers of everyone and saving them to the iphone. And it's not that easy to key in using the touch pad which is only sensitive to fingertips.

And I spent some time viewing the demo on apple webby cos I dunno how to function the phone. After watching I still don't know how to. I dont know what happened exactly, I supposed I just sync the phone with my lappie. But right now my phone has all the sounds including those funny sounds stored somewhere in my lappie such as "grawl", "snore". And I thought I can just remove the unwanted songs from the phone but I cant find the button to. So now, the ipod function in the phone has thousands of songs including unwanted sound.

I love kitty.

Goodbye Wei Zhu~ posted @ Monday, September 01, 2008

Sunday was a busy day too! Came back from Toon Toon (the happiest and most contented girl in our clique) house in the morning and rushed to my tutee's house. She really has improved alot. And I am glad that she is sensible enough to study hard and really treats this O level seriously.

In the evening, met my 304 group @ MS. Left during the midst of discussion to the airport to send Wei Zhu off. I was tearing abit when she passed the departure gate. But her daddy and mummy and other friends seemed to be very delighted. Why?? I would be crying til I look like a lump of shit if I were to go overseas for 2 years.

I love kitty.

RSAF Open House posted @

Been a busy weekend! Went to RSAF Open house with my CC peeps on Saturday morning. It's freaking hot. Burning hot. Reminds me of my Japan trip where the sand was so burning hot that my aunt and I were hopping and jumping around at the beach. But it's still a nice experience seeing all the planes.

OOOH. This is super fun. I dunno what's it called but I had the feeling that I am going on some exciting ride when I was queueing. This vehicle will turn clockwise and anticlockwise. So we just stood there as though we were on those turning magic cups at the theme parks. And I screamed.

I love kitty.
