Lucky to have had the chance to have dinner at such a place. Had a taste of what it's like to enjoy the finer side of life - the atmosphere, that is. For out of the many things for me to choose from the buffet, i ended up with the usual - chicken, rice, some prawn, ice cream and chocolate cakes and that's it. Things like the cheesey creamy stuffs and the sushi fishey stuffs are just not my cup of tea. And i just cant shake the "i could have eaten a Beef Prosperity meal upsize, watched Jumper, play a game or two of bowling and buy 4 packets of nasi pattaya from Al-Ameen for my family and still have enough to buy 2 bottles of 1.5litres coke and a tub of ice cream for dessert" mentality.

A wonderful experience nonetheless.

Sometimes i wonder what kind of girl i'll end up if i continue to have such an unromantic mentality. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. Simply hope i dun havta wait too long.

The girl im teaching finally passed her maths. Her first test since i started teaching her a month ago. So glad when i heard the news from her mum. Such things make teaching worthwhile. But having to prepare my teaching materials and sacrificing my tv and playing time do make things hard.

Sometimes i feel that all kids can be brilliant. Some may need more help than others. Some simply need guidance. But the sad fact is that a majority of these kids arent getting the attention they need. And not all can afford a tutor. And subsidized tution by groups like Mendaki isnt tailored to suit the slow ones. This group will thus lag behind the pack and end up struggling with their studies throughout their school life. I wish for these kids to be given the required guidance.
