Praying hard... for next Monday

Can you believe it? I am more worried about my kid taking O-Level next Mon than having to hand in a 2000-word Chinese report before 5pm that day to Dr Quah! Goodness, I haven't start writing a single word... Die.


Sorry Dr Quah:
1) to ask you such a general question abt "dominant culture" that you don't know how to give me an answer.
2) forgive me if I give your rubbish for the report.

Answer to some queries


Has been "entertaining" all kinds of question asking me about when I am getting myself "another half". Although I won't choose to remain single, I am not giving myself too much pressure regarding this.

Perhaps you can say that I am not pro-active but I am enjoying every bit of my new-found freedom that my parents are granting me now. So well, I am on the look-out but no hurry, really.

"Adding oil" for YY

Recently took a Sec 4 kid under my charge. He's re-taking Chinese in the coming O-Level, which is unfortunately only 3 weeks away at the end of October. Lesson started last Tuesday and he will be having lesson on every Tuesday and Friday till the very last minute. These lessons are extra, excluding those he has on Saturday.

Poor boy. He has Chinese tuition 3 times a week.

His foundation is very weak. Too weak. Weaker than my regular students who are in Sec 2. This is the least I had expected.

How to get him ready for battle in such short time? How to "spot" questions? A lot of "how to" that I have to find answers to.

I am in fact apprehensive and worried. Very worried.

But I am determined to do my best for him.

I hope he won't find my "training regime" of doing practices and more practices mundane.

All the best YY! 加油! I will do my part and you must put in effort too.
