summer semester.

everyone dreads it.
hiong chiong siao.
i managed to complete my first reading.
now i have page 43-115 to finish by friday. god bless me.
i didn't participate.
the bullets were shooting all over and what i wanted to comment, they brought it up already.

philosophy isn't about findings answers eh?


nothing is definite.
so can we claim that we saw the absolutes and hence everything else is insignificant and worthless for our attention?
what then, does the absolute look like?
will your absolute look the same as mine?



no one likes being called stupid and unwise.



i wonder why i don't participate much.
i do talk in communications classes. i do give comments in ugc classes.
why not phi101? i think it's because i'm exposed to something so foreign and scary.
whereby nothing is right or wrong, and anything goes.
i must learn to open my golden mouth and pick up the courage to speak my mind; be it sounding foolish or mindless.




sold my com202 text to junior xy.
$25 richer.
then i headed to popular in hopes of getting the remaining 3 of 5 books required. SOLD OUT.
WTF???!!?!?!
i'm gonna kop from abs to photocopy. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE DARLING! -kisses- HAHAH.

when i was there, i learnt that mus266 is coming in like...........next week? or end of month. damn. uber nua for music lor.


not like i'll read the book like that lah, but i feel better having the texts HAHAH.




tuition after that.
was starving. so had this mini lunch at the interchange at boon lay. it's this little corner selling all the small meals like nasi lemak, fried bee hoon and stuff like that. then you can buy and eat while standing up at the counter.

you know....that concept lah.
anyway i felt damn weird eating there beside this china auntie and a damn noisy and chor lor man who never cleared his stuff after eating and just left. TSK! where is the social manners???!

and alot people stared at me from outside. wah biang machiam animal on exhibit. -_-'''

ate hurriedly and bus-ed down to P's house.
tuition today was good.

remember me asking for miracles?
miracle happened.
be it small and minute, i am overjoyed.
my joy is shared by her mum.
really, i am thankful that she is a dedicated mother who takes time to teach her daughter and makes certain that she knows the concept and is patient and understanding.

despite P failing her maths paper STILL, at least i wasn't blamed. i tried my best. but i am very sure this period after exams during june hols, alot improvements will be made.

i feel happy just thinking about it.
because RV days taught me many examination skills, i felt the need to teach P these stuff too.
may seem simple and stupid on the surface, but is actually rather crucial.


she is definitely showing signs of retaining knowledge. thanks to the consistent help from the mum when i don't have lessons with P that day.
at least she's not the type everything throw to tuition teacher to gao dim type.
and she seems really sincere acknowledging the fact that i really put in alot effort teaching P, staying back up to an hour extra for free just to make sure she understands the concept of the day.


regardless what is the reason behind, it takes two hands to clap.
and i wish for greater miracles.
because i believe.
it's been so long since i felt that i could make a difference in people's lives (:


with these characteristics, i have no doubt P will show potential.

it's not so much about academics.
it's about P realizing that she is not what others see her to be.
i want her to be proud of herself.
it's about her....self-actualizing.
it's pure happiness....knowing that finally....she is learning.


mini money rain in boon lay.
P's mum and P requested for 3 times per week tuition starting next week.
this translates to a 50% increase from the old fees i'm receiving.
and when i settle the timings for B's tuition, i will receive another 50% increase!
this is definitely looking good for my severely shortaged tw funds.




finally, this month i won't have troubles paying my insurance premiums because i've allocated all my videzy pay into that account and it shall remain untouchable! -beams-



i shall prove that horoscope book wrong.


but reminder to self: do not be so preoccupied earning $$ and neglect your studies!


PS: bought a book at popular with that $25. ok i spent $16 paying for it. but i wanted that book damn long. msged yh bro to tell him i finally bought the book so he better don't buy it for my birthday present cos' i don't want duplictes HAHAH.

zzz. he called me to say he bought a different edition (different content lah. machiam series you know) of the book for me. wth. and it was AT THE SAME TIME I BOUGHT MY BOOK.

damn coincidental lor. luckily is a different book LOL. ok yh bro! i shall heed your advice and start making my life worthwhile starting now!

because a life unexamined is not worth living.



what an extremely long PS: and long post.
so tired. yawns. night dearies! (: no pics!
