I started my first tuition lesson today! The kid is a girl. A very shy one. I had a tough time trying to open up her. Overall, to me, the lesson is alright. But I think to her, It is quite boring. Now I really understand how a teacher feels. They really need a lot of patience in order to see improvement in their students' work. I thought teaching was easy. In fact, I thought teaching a small kid is easy. However, it is not quite true. Teaching an older student is easier. You just have to explain once and let them to digress themselves. As for younger kids, you have to keep repeating and making sure that they understand. If they dont understand, they also would not ask. Actually I wonder how my teacher teach me when I was young. Perhaps, I was born smart? HAHA. Just joking!
Another thing is that her mother employ me just to make sure her child do something in the afternoon. This is because the daughter doesn't want to take a nap in the afternoon and so to find an activity to occupy her, it would be TUITION. Kids nowadays arh! Haix. Can sleep also don't want to sleep. I want to sleep in the afternoon too! I want my afternoon nap back!
Also, I realised kid nowadays dont really have "childhood". In fact, during my times, we hardly have much. I realised most of our childhood is occupied my STUDIES! Now kids are even worse. When I was browsing through the assessment books, I even saw assessment book for 2 years old kid! Freaking mad lah! Imagine you come on Earth for 2 years, you have to start studying already. That's very very very SAD! You cant even enjoy your childhood.
My childhood wasn't that bad. I remember that when I was young, my sisters, my cousins and I would always go to my grandma's house. Then we were always go cycling around the neighbourhood in a very big group. Then I remember that we nearly got into a fight if I'm not wrong. If not, we just see some people "bu shuang". HAHA. Also, I was injured when jumping down the double deck bed with my cousins. It was a new game my cousins created. I fell and I dislocated my left arm.
I would never forget my childhood and likewise I would never forget the child-like faith I had when I know God. Such memories are meant to kept to remind me how far I have gone and how along the way, God had grown me.
the child -
I was supposed to teach my first student in Bedok on tuesday. I was quite excited and I was super early. Breakthrough! HAHA!! However, when I went there, there was no one at home. I called my agent and she didn't pick up her phone! Therefore, I continued to wait until 7.45pm. Then I left. When I reached home, my agent said that she had made a mistake. I'm supposed to start next week and not this week! AH! Never mind. It's over.
Today, I'm going to have another tuition with a K1 kid. I don't know if she's a female or male. It is going to be fun because he or she is around the same age as MAX! MAX is so adorable! He is so sweet~ I hope the kid is as sweet as MAX!
Eh. I realised I didn't post about the day when I go and meet Catherine. I shall post now!
Last Sunday, I attended Catherine's Church and later I went to look for her and her sons, MAX and CAVEN! They are really adorable. I can see that both of them had grown a lot. Max has grown to be more "man". I heard from Cat that he asked her if she can see his muscles. HAHA! It's so funny. He's so young and he asked this kind of question. As for Caven, he has become heavier.
To think of it, the both of them really have their unique character. Max is very emotional. When he broke a mug, he actually feel very guilty. He did not tell me that but I could see from his face that he is quite sad. As for Caven, he is very joyful. Whatever happen, you could still see his smile. His smile is also contagious. When you see him smile, it is natural that you would want to smile. Not just from appearance but from your heart. They are so different and that's why her mother didn't like to compare the both of them. Maybe this is what a biblical parents would do. They know that God created them differently and thus they wouldn't compare and I think this is also one way of loving them.
Also, I saw how Cat and his husband teach their son to trust God. They took away Caven's "lion" and they want him to pray. When he prayed, they would return him his lion. Also, while walking to the food court, there were beautiful flowers along the way. Cat then would tell them that God created these beautiful flowers.
Oh ya. This is how Caven says grace, " Dear Father, Thank you for the food. Help Caven to grow up and love you. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen." Sweet huh? Child like isnt it? Although is what their parents teach them, when they said it, it is really sweet. I would also pray that when both of them grow up, they would continue to love God!
Going to prepare to go to the kid house now.
ah!!!
Death Note anime 13 is out!!!
I had been waiting for weeks and I didn't realise it is out for many days already.
Going to watch at youtube! ;)
At times, our mind can really fool us. For example, when the holy spirit prompt us to talk to a stranger, our natural reaction would be thinking of what the person would think of us. However, when we take the first step of faith and say "Hello" to him or her, it does not always turn out what we had thought. Perhaps out of 5, 1 would turn out likewise.
Yeah. Something happens like this to me today. I was taking train to Bugis for my japanese class. A secondary four student happened to sit beside me. This is when the holy spirit spoke. I was afraid because it is WEIRD! I argued with the holy spirit. I told Him this "Don't want. She is an upper sec!" Another thing is that I AM LAZY TO DO SO!
Again, He prompted and so I took a step of faith and just talk to her. Initially, I thought she was from Coral secondary so I asked her. But she gave me a very puzzled look. Then, I realised I made a mistake but we just continue the conversation. Thank God that she was alighting after me. We had a great conversation. It seemed like we have known each other for a long time. We really can talk about anything under the sun. HAHA. I also invited for EX3 and she said she would ask her friends too and would try to come. Praise God! Now, I really pray that people would come! They must come because EX3 is meant for them! God, I want more of such people! haha.
Sometime, it is not as difficult as what we think. Our mind fooled us! It is a battle with our mind. We have to use the word of God as the weapon. Yeah. Cherishing and keep a reservoir of it. Although, I had not really reach "there", I really want to work towards there. (:
Tomorrow, it will still be another battle. We are going to bring people from ngee ann back to their heavenly Father. Blessed us greatly Lord as we do your work. All this I asked in Jesus' name. Amen.

I just got another job "lobang". It's recommended by Jessica. I met her at Cat's church last Sunday. Actually, I was supposed there to have an interview with a child care director but in the end, I did not get a chance to meet her. She had to go to the hospital because her son was ill. However, she did tell me that their child care have not plan to have a child care assistant yet but if have, she will give me a call. Actually, they are looking for a child care teacher so whoever is interested can ask me. The director is a christian so I suppose it is "flexible".
As for the job which Jessica recommend, it is a sales assistant. Pay is quite high. In fact, the highest pay among the job (excluding the new year pay at banquet). Distant is quite far but I think it should be alright. If everything goes well, I think I would start work at the last week of Feb. Although it is kind of late and school is going to reopen, I think it is still better than working at MLG.
I had been thinking how to put post in a nicer way but I dont know and dont think i can. Sorry if I sounded harsh.
UL (not unit leader) is a super LAO TIKO. Grr.. His jokes are never funny. It is somehow offensive. Irritating fellow.
Initially, I have a lot of things to say but I forgot already.
Anyway, Lee Kiang had helped me find a tuition job. I' m not very sure what I'm suppose to do but nvm. Just whack! haha.
I just lodged a complaint to SBS. I really cant stand all those rude bus drivers. They are incorrigible. Just because they are older than us, they think that they can bully us. You know what is their hobby? Collecting cards. With no valid and good reasons, they confiscate people card. How do you want them to take bus? I'm not being a shrew here. I just can't stand the impoliteness of a bus driver. This doesn't concern me alone. In fact, I am not a victim. However, I believe it does concern the public and the tourists. Imagine early in the morning and you meet a very rude bus driver, would it spoil your day? Also, Singapore is a small country. Many tourists would prefer to travel themselves instead of travelling with a travel group. Thus, many would use a public transportation. If they see a rude bus driver, what would they think Singaporean are?
A bus driver is in a service line. Service line is simply serving people. If one is so unwilling to serve people, he or she shouldn't be in that line. Likewise, if a bus driver is so unwilling to serve his passenger, perhaps he should choose another occupation.
Since the government (or is it the company) is trying to encourage people to use more public transport, I think it is also important that the bus drivers have positive attitudes. I would be attracted to take bus more often if I' m able to meet helpful and polite bus driver. It is somehow like how macdonald works. I would love to go macdonald because of the polite service provided there. They smile=) .
It's not that all bus drivers are the same. There are really good ones. There was a bus driver who is always driving the 293 bus. When every passenger board the bus, he would greet them and wish them have a great day ahead. Although many ignore him, I still believe there are some who are touched by his action. Sometimes, I would like to walk to him and say Thank You. Sound stupid but he really brighten up my day.
That's all for today. going to bed now.

I went to Temasek Poly's open house yesterday with my church friends. I managed to get to know more about the course I'm interested in. Also, I also got a chance to know more about the new course in Engineering school. It's called Diploma in Aviation Management and Services. Sounds "Chim" huh? Overall, it's a course that links to airport. A bit of engineering and business. It's seems interesting to me.
Well, these few days I had been thinking what I should be in the future. Well, I thought of one. Being a Meteorologist. It's a job that is not common and you are able to know more about the ever-changing weather. Plus, it a job that enable you to "work" with the nature. -- I think so. haha.
Seriously, I think I'm really at the crossroad. I'm not very sure what I want to be and what education path should I go. Initially, I thought that poly doesn't suit me because I'm not one who would always spend so much money just to doll up myself. I want to study like I'm in secondary and primary school. Thus, I thought Junior College would be a better choice for me.
However, after what a friend of mine told me, somehow I changed my mind. I told her that I'm only aiming to get into TPJC and she told me that actually I should aim MJ. She said that TPJC is not a good enviroment to study. She also said that if you are going JC, you should aim to study well and get into University. Seriously, I never thought of going into university. It's not that I don't want but I never think that far. Since young, to me, university is a place for clever people or people who work very hard to go. I never know the importantance of a cert despite many teachers and what the world had told me.
Now, I think that poly would be better because I will be doing something I'm interested in. Diploma in Leisure & Resort Management or Diploma in Hospitality & Tourism Management. However, I fear that I can't get in because it's a very popular course. Many have seen the importance of getting this diploma. IR is coming soon. When it has finish building, many of us would have graduate and it would be easier for people with this diploma to get a job. For me, I choose this because I love to serve tourist but I also worried that this passion would die very fast. I'm fickle- minded. Ahh. how?
Perhaps, I think too much already. Maybe I should just wait for the result to come back, then I make the decision. Set!
Going to prepare to go for pioneering now!
God, give us fruits!
renn-
I was reading today's news article on Channel Newsasia just now. A news caught my attention and so I click on that news and continue reading. The title is Half Of Singaporean Youths think premarital sex is okay.
As I was reading, I was suprised that Singaporean Youths go through more influences from the media than what I had expected. Not only they think that premarital sex is okay, 37% said that they are not patriotic. In fact, more than half want to migrate overseas if given a chance. I know this is not very uncommon. In fact, there are friends who told me this too. Somehow I feel burden for the country, for the people. I'm not a very patriotic person like those in the China History who died for their country. I'm not. But you see, if one thinks that Singapore is not good as compared as other countries and they migrate there, I still dont think that they will enjoy life there. Somehow, they surely willl feel like they are "aliens" because they dont belong to that land.
It also said "60 percent of youths are also not interested in local politics, but half of them want to see more opposition members in parliament. "
I think more youths should be concern about their own country politics because they should know who are their leaders and how they give plans. Instead of complaining about the increase of GST, why not think what is it for?
It also said, "54 percent of youths surveyed think it is okay to use vulgarities when talking to friends, and half find homosexuality acceptable. "
Well, vulgarities is common but is it necessary? I dont find it cool but crude. To some people, vulgarities somehow become like a language instead of scolding people. Well, if they scold people with vulgarities, I can understand that you're really mad with the person so you used it (But still, i dont think it's good). But if it's just purely a normal conversation, I dont really see why people used it. Cool to them? Maybe.
Back to blogging. Jol and try are complaining that I dont update my blog!~
Last week grads outing was really fun!~ especially the time at kbox. I tell u, East A ppl are really a bunch of ppl who play hard and study hard. At kbox, they were the ones who makes the most noise. With them around, the atmosphere was lifted!
Last wed, i started my jap course. It's kind of weird because it's very different from the lesson i had in school. Me, maurise and nic are like one of the youngest student there. Most of our "classmates" are adults. Also, i cant really understand what the teacher is taking about. She's japanese so she cant really pronouce english word well. Many times, I had to copy notes from maurise and nic.
God has been good. I've found a job. It's door to door surveryor. Starting pay was $6 but if we do well, we'll get up to $15 per hour. I only have to work in the night and i can choose which day i want to work. Many grad are working there too. We are starting work today!!
got to go and prepare to go out now. sayonara~

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I know i'm kind of slow but it's better than never say at all. Initially, i wanted to blog after I've got all my camp pic and choir pic but I've some good news to share with you!~
I'm not alone now!!!! HAHA!!!
MY MUM RECEIVE CHRIST LAST FRI!!! I didn't realise until she asked me about saying grace yesterday. I ask her what made her want to receive Christ and she said that her friends' testimonial make her feel that God's so real! Praise God! 1 soul saved! thank you Lord!
Now, she also ask me to pray for the family because we can be quite chaotic at times. She said that we have to pray then we can see testimonial and that will convict her faith even more! haha. kind of weird. I'm happy but I acted normally cos to me, is still very weird! haha!
As for now, I still want to pray that God will continue to move in her heart! Seriously, there's a fear in my heart. I'm afraid this faith she has is a small flame and later it would be back to square. Also, I really hope that she would come to HOPE too. I want her to grow more and serve with me in the same church, with the same vision. Not that other churches is not good, but it's better for ppl in the family to serve together in a same church. Never mind, i'll P.U.S.H!
Yesterday, I also went for the drama audition for E.S.S. I'm SCARED! It's scary! You have to act in front of the judges. I cant imagine I'd do this but I still did. It wasn't as scary as I thought initally. In fact, it's okay. A very cool experience. It's okay if I didn't get in because what matters is the experience. haha. Actually, a lot of east people went down for audition. There are yanyu, joleen, denise, nicolas, winstar, maurise, kim, michelle and me. In fact, the people I saw at the audition (exclude the judges) are from East! does that mean East ppl are thick skin? NO! haha.
Going to ecp later for grad outing! bye~
God has been good to me! rayna~

Seriously, I think I'm really at the crossroad. I'm not very sure what I want to be and what education path should I go. Initially, I thought that poly doesn't suit me because I'm not one who would always spend so much money just to doll up myself. I want to study like I'm in secondary and primary school. Thus, I thought Junior College would be a better choice for me.
However, after what a friend of mine told me, somehow I changed my mind. I told her that I'm only aiming to get into TPJC and she told me that actually I should aim MJ. She said that TPJC is not a good enviroment to study. She also said that if you are going JC, you should aim to study well and get into University. Seriously, I never thought of going into university. It's not that I don't want but I never think that far. Since young, to me, university is a place for clever people or people who work very hard to go. I never know the importantance of a cert despite many teachers and what the world had told me.
Now, I think that poly would be better because I will be doing something I'm interested in. Diploma in Leisure & Resort Management or Diploma in Hospitality & Tourism Management. However, I fear that I can't get in because it's a very popular course. Many have seen the importance of getting this diploma. IR is coming soon. When it has finish building, many of us would have graduate and it would be easier for people with this diploma to get a job. For me, I choose this because I love to serve tourist but I also worried that this passion would die very fast. I'm fickle- minded. Ahh. how?
Perhaps, I think too much already. Maybe I should just wait for the result to come back, then I make the decision. Set!
Going to prepare to go for pioneering now!
God, give us fruits!

I was reading today's news article on Channel Newsasia just now. A news caught my attention and so I click on that news and continue reading. The title is Half Of Singaporean Youths think premarital sex is okay.
As I was reading, I was suprised that Singaporean Youths go through more influences from the media than what I had expected. Not only they think that premarital sex is okay, 37% said that they are not patriotic. In fact, more than half want to migrate overseas if given a chance. I know this is not very uncommon. In fact, there are friends who told me this too. Somehow I feel burden for the country, for the people. I'm not a very patriotic person like those in the China History who died for their country. I'm not. But you see, if one thinks that Singapore is not good as compared as other countries and they migrate there, I still dont think that they will enjoy life there. Somehow, they surely willl feel like they are "aliens" because they dont belong to that land.
It also said "60 percent of youths are also not interested in local politics, but half of them want to see more opposition members in parliament. "
I think more youths should be concern about their own country politics because they should know who are their leaders and how they give plans. Instead of complaining about the increase of GST, why not think what is it for?
It also said, "54 percent of youths surveyed think it is okay to use vulgarities when talking to friends, and half find homosexuality acceptable. "
Well, vulgarities is common but is it necessary? I dont find it cool but crude. To some people, vulgarities somehow become like a language instead of scolding people. Well, if they scold people with vulgarities, I can understand that you're really mad with the person so you used it (But still, i dont think it's good). But if it's just purely a normal conversation, I dont really see why people used it. Cool to them? Maybe.
Back to blogging. Jol and try are complaining that I dont update my blog!~
Last week grads outing was really fun!~ especially the time at kbox. I tell u, East A ppl are really a bunch of ppl who play hard and study hard. At kbox, they were the ones who makes the most noise. With them around, the atmosphere was lifted!
Last wed, i started my jap course. It's kind of weird because it's very different from the lesson i had in school. Me, maurise and nic are like one of the youngest student there. Most of our "classmates" are adults. Also, i cant really understand what the teacher is taking about. She's japanese so she cant really pronouce english word well. Many times, I had to copy notes from maurise and nic.
God has been good. I've found a job. It's door to door surveryor. Starting pay was $6 but if we do well, we'll get up to $15 per hour. I only have to work in the night and i can choose which day i want to work. Many grad are working there too. We are starting work today!!
got to go and prepare to go out now. sayonara~

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I know i'm kind of slow but it's better than never say at all. Initially, i wanted to blog after I've got all my camp pic and choir pic but I've some good news to share with you!~
I'm not alone now!!!! HAHA!!!
MY MUM RECEIVE CHRIST LAST FRI!!! I didn't realise until she asked me about saying grace yesterday. I ask her what made her want to receive Christ and she said that her friends' testimonial make her feel that God's so real! Praise God! 1 soul saved! thank you Lord!
Now, she also ask me to pray for the family because we can be quite chaotic at times. She said that we have to pray then we can see testimonial and that will convict her faith even more! haha. kind of weird. I'm happy but I acted normally cos to me, is still very weird! haha!
As for now, I still want to pray that God will continue to move in her heart! Seriously, there's a fear in my heart. I'm afraid this faith she has is a small flame and later it would be back to square. Also, I really hope that she would come to HOPE too. I want her to grow more and serve with me in the same church, with the same vision. Not that other churches is not good, but it's better for ppl in the family to serve together in a same church. Never mind, i'll P.U.S.H!
Yesterday, I also went for the drama audition for E.S.S. I'm SCARED! It's scary! You have to act in front of the judges. I cant imagine I'd do this but I still did. It wasn't as scary as I thought initally. In fact, it's okay. A very cool experience. It's okay if I didn't get in because what matters is the experience. haha. Actually, a lot of east people went down for audition. There are yanyu, joleen, denise, nicolas, winstar, maurise, kim, michelle and me. In fact, the people I saw at the audition (exclude the judges) are from East! does that mean East ppl are thick skin? NO! haha.
