my blog's so dead Carene says it's rotting.
Last week was a rather happening one,
and I'm now technically handling 3 jobs like woots?
hahaha..
I hope I can cope with it, and I believe I can :)

My primary job is Service Crew.
My secondary's Student Care Teacher cum Nanny.
hahaha..
Got to wake up at 6am everyday to open the door for the kids in Max Tuition Centre.
So it all ends at 2.30 when I will go TPS, with an 1.5 hr break in between from 1130 after I send the lower Pri kids to school till 1300 when I fetch the upper primary kids.
Lots of patience involved yea :)
cuz the upper sec kids can really get extremely stubborn.
Still, I'm ok with the job though the salary's rather low.
The starting pay's only $420/month.
It's all about the passion cuz I love kids a lot :)

So I was thinking maybe during my break if I don't feel like slacking I can actually distribute flyers and promote about MTC.
A deal clinched is a commission of $30:)
So if I decide not to slack, I can st least earn extra $200/ month.
Well we will see how it goes, hehe.

The tertiary job is a tutor.
yup I went for the interview few days ago,
and Max's rather impressed, just that I dropped A Math.
So I admitted to him that I really have no confidence in teaching Math.
instead of teaching math and english, I was appointed to teach only english.
hence, hired as a Sec 3 English tutor, every Sat from 1030 to 1200
after which I can still go TPS work
full shift should be no problem:)
The basic pay is $8, more than other jobs, but less than what a tutor normally earns.
What matters is the experience, so I'm fine with it.

Since I've been like speaking Singlish after the Os
I think I should make it a habit to speak proper English cuz like not very nice now that I'm going to guide the sec 3 students.
O Level stage omg.

I went for my first teaching experience yesterday which was quite ok :)
they needed a relief teacher urgently so was told to help.
P4 Chinese class as starter, and I spoke perfect Mandarin w/o any mixture of English eh!
hahaha elephant skin.
Got to be very firm and fierce with them, cuz they really lacked discipline.
I made a boy cried cuz the class was told to complete their work before they can go home
(so that I could mark)
and he happened to be the last.
hence haha..
I was shocked but Max said it's fine.
Sec 2 Math class afterwards, and it was much better with them cuz they knew how to think about their future already.
Just that I don't like it when the students go " 'cher you jc/poly?"
and they'll go "walao you damn lousy" when I gave them my reply.
It's not the way to judge somebody's intelligence seriously.
I could have made it into a JC, just that I chose not to go to one except SA science isn't it?
aiya well just take it that they are still young and ignorant I guess.

And it's very funny that I need to have different attitudes when being SC and tutor/nanny.
cuz when you're the SC, customers are always right.
when you're the tutor/nanny, the teacher's always right!
when you're the SC, you got to be courteous and sweet.
when you're the teacher/nanny, you got to be firm and fierce.
Like total split personality hahahaha.

Kk, off to JP now.
Going there to get the Fancl facial washing powder.
Cuz my skin's really bad nowdays.
Probably cuz of bestfriend.
yea it's in red hahaha i'm damn lame.
I think I'm really lucky since I don't get those really get those ultimate cramps, only achings and break outs eh :)
It's time to take good care of my skin, been long since I've applied mask:/

on a random note,
It's my off day tomorrow! :D
meeting YiLin dearest.
and sweet, I miss you!
Must work hard for your exams k!:)

and a self to-do list:
-Must leave some time for sweet/YiLin
-Ask my friends out soon eh!
-Make space in my schedule to train the girls for the Speech Day Parade
