This morning, I opened the freezer and saw, lo and behold --> SEVEN TUBS OF BEN AND JERRYS!!
Weekend was lovely cuz bro was in malaysia! And I had a rather funny msn convo with him. I think I irritated him with my favourite face wahahhahaha.
Fruit count: 8 bananas, 7 apples, 6 oranges. Now, no more wondering why my load is always so heavy on the way back to hall.
I wonder where it's coming from but I hear distant flute sounds of Utada Hikaru's first love.
It was this weekend, which I discovered many things about my piano students. Firstly, Alicia is the most loveable thing. She is so young! I think nursery? She refused to tell me haa! Her fingers still has so much baby fat. So chubby. AND every week, she comes in telling me, she wants to eat her piano book. OR that on her birthday she will eat a piece of paper. AND how her favourite hello kitty stuff toy ate tissue paper. AND how hello kitty doesnt like me haa! right.
Ethan, is growing bigger. AND more ap. I don't like him. Mervin is such a blur head! Kai Lee's rhythm is really good! After one or two tries of teaching, she gets those off beats where otherwise I would've spent hours trying to clap and count during sectionals back in tkgs. Kai Qing amazes me. At PRIMARY ONE, her sight reading is simply marvelous. She's a very different girl. Amazes me totally. Sharon, she will go far :) Zoe, my newest grade6 theory student. She's pretty young -- sec3. I thought she was older. She's pretty cute and sweet after all.
Sunday students, Bernice. I used to think she was cute and sweet. A k1 kid. BUT she's getting rather ap. And I think one day I might lose my patience with her. She gives up too easily. BUT whenever she climbs up the stairs to the studio and sees me she will run over. So cute haa. Here's a reminder to future parents, please spare your child by being nice, cooperative parents. How I treat my students does depend on how their parents are to me. If they treat you well and are very friendly, you'll tend to feel happier and this will bring out in the way you treat their kids.
There's Erika, who started off a pretty nice and hardworking kid, but along the way, she gives too much excuses, and I feel her mom looks down on me. Thank goodness she's changing teacher :) Followed by Hannah, who started off not very well cuz we had neither purpose in her learning. And she's pretty strong headed and insisits on starting from the front whenever a single note goes wrong. k2 girl who just had her graduation last week! But her mom is really nice. And we decided to embark her on the grade1 journey. She's learning pretty fast and interest is really there! Lessons are a joy to learn learn learn. I hope this lasts long :) Next is Benjamin, my 'miracle' student who scored a merit for his grade5 :) His sight reading causes me much anguish, always. Interest to play well is there though, and he's a joy to teach cuz he tries to do what I tell him as best. He's really one where I know how to correct his mistakes and when he tries it out, his playing improves MUCH. A really big contrast you really must hear.
Then it's Wei Lin! that little girl, who never practises. But is so cute. And tries and tries, unlike Bernice. Really intelligent p1 kid from RGPS. Lastly ending with J.P. from UWC who really zaps my patience trying to get him to PLAY! We started with rubiks cubes. Initially the first time I saw him he really looks like this ap sullen boy. But he turned out to be loads of fun, till he started refusing to be serious! We spent most part of today's lesson exchanging riddles and jokes.
Okay enough about them. Church yesterday was pretty good. We talked about the art of seduction.
1) choose the right victim
2) send mixed signals (half truths)
3) confuse desire with reality
4) mix pleasure with pain
THAT, aptly described what Satan did to Eve in the garden long ago, and the rest was history. A pretty good sermon. Half truths. If they were full blown lies we'll know.
Also, I learnt something VERY true. We need to have the fear of God too. Pretty too often we think about how God is loving, forgiving, how He is like a father and a friend. While it is true, but that is because of His mercy towards us. There is still the part about righteousness and justice. It is really very true. For example, if you tell your child not to touch the kettle on the stove because I love you and it's for your own good etc you think the child will think about that when he's tempted to? Of course not. It will be because of the fear of being caned if he does that will prevent him from trying. Similarly, we need to have the fear of God to prevent us from sinning whenever we're tempted to.
We requested the taxi driver to stop outside NTU for a few moments to zap a picture of the sign NTU which entering from Jalan Bahar. Mission accomplished! haa :)
Loads to do before the night is over. Bathe, comm fund, slides. Hence GOODBYE.
I think getting to know more abt a person's background really shapes my impression of what I think of them. Makes me feel like I'm writing some essay which lols seems to frequently have to write haha. A lot of conversations I've been having recently with people i got to know in uni. It's really opening my view of this world. And I think I want to work as a piano teacher :)
But anyway three is really one to many in my opinion. I personally don't understand how can one let such friendships drift. To me, such things are not things which you can just let drift! My opinion has really been changed. Good also I guess. For I see a drifting coming up, let me just let go first. Relationships are such complicated matters. Too many unspoken words. And hence, everything is always so complicated. You never know what the other is truly thinking.
haha. what a joke i am.
i should've totally seen this coming.
numb.
I like talking to my papa. I like talking to victor. cuz I know for sure they won't go around saying I like them. I think that incident has some impact on my mindset. I never knew how fortunate I was, to meet someone like my hunky, to meet such nice ppl in tj.
I love teejay :)
Most importantly, I know he wouldn't go around saying I like him or stupid things other childish ppl will do. (at the level of university! hard to imagine hmm)
How I wish I don't so easily trust people.
Okay, one thing is, if I say I like someone, it just means I like them alot! Rest assured, if there's someone I really like, nothing on earth will make me say who :)
Somehow no one seems like they're willing to listen. And even so, nothing's solved. Maybe I might feel better but it's only more self-pity I'm acquiring. I'm too practical a person I guess.
