Pic with super duper lousy quality coz of my lousy camera phone. Then again..manage to upload it..and the one on the right is Ethyl and the one on the left is Ashley. You should hear her younger sis speak chinese. Really super awkward. Typical english-educated kids.. Ashley is primary 1 and Ethyl of coz primary 4. I think Ashley is adorable, always laugh hysterically like a witch. (yea and i call that adorable). Kids will forever freeze in those moments of innocence, oblivion to those politics of the world, always indulging in whatever simple pieces of toys and tools they have. Ya and today is my tuition day, and as usual Ethyly never fail to amaze me with her paucity in concentration thru out the whole session.... I am definitely not the source of problem :P At least one thing to be thankful is their amiable parents who never look upon me with distrustful pair of suspicious eyes or even ordering what to revise with the student, like what Eugene's mum did. You ask me if i ever look upon each tuition session as a source of income. Sadly, sometimes i do feel like this way. However, sometimes at least i love seeing them smile and laugh while teaching them. Eugene for example, once ask me, "How come you always like to say kena this and kena that ah?". For that split second, i was kind of loss for words. I jus say.."aiya..i am used to it already ma..may be i will change into other words lor". How terribe i can be right? Sometimes when i am teaching Ethyl, i always like to countdown to her going her room to take some stuff, counting down to her getting back to the table..and bla bla. Why counting down is so inherent in me...i am sure most of u all might noe why..but being found guilty of doing that,..i see now harm doing that too. At least i manage to get her back to Earth. Her mind might be floating somewhere in some unknown planet X, where powerpuff girls are in dominion.
