Anyway, went back to Bukit Ho Swee on Monday and Wednesday to help teach the kids. Thought I'd just go back for fun and help out, but I think I'll probably still go back after lessons start. I miss the kids and one of them actually remembered me! And he asked about Sin Hui and Wen Hooi too! I got to teach him on both days. It was quite tough to teach him; took a long time to explain before he finally understood. He went to KK Hospital on Thursday for his heart surgery. Hope he's all right.
Yesterday was my first time tutoring someone. As in tutoring for real, with pay. Was quite nervous at first cos I'd probably forgotten all my J2 stuff by now. But it went ok, even though I didn't know how to do 1 question haha. Asked her to ask her teacher, which happened to be Miss Lim :)
Had lunch with Shuping on Friday at Holland V. Haven't been there since like last year. We ate at Crystal Jade, but the food was quite salty. And we were tricked by this giant poster on the door showing fruits and ice creams (looked really delicious), but they only had it at the Scotts Road branch haha. I found the place quite small, but next to the place we ate, there was another Crystal Jade, Crystal Jade Seafood Kitchen or something like that. And they also have that poster. I tell you, people are going to get tricked. Anyway, I think Crystal Jade is like everywhere and yet it's still so successful. After that, we went to walk around. We went to this building, and the shops there reminded me of Bali. I don't know why. Maybe it's cos they're selling all this tourist-y stuff, but it just really reminded me of Bali. Speaking of Bali, I wouldn't mind going there again. To shop and do all that exciting stuff, like rafting, jet-skiing and riding on the banana boat. If I go next time, I'll definitely go parasailing and there'll be no snorkeling for me.
USP interview on Thursday. It was quite terrible. I was expecting them to ask current affairs stuff, but instead, they asked me questions about myself, most of which I didn't really prepare. Like "how have you tried to overcome your weakest subject area?" and "why do you like to play tennis?". I could see that they didn't look convinced. Oh well, I was probably nervous. It's my first interview and I just went to see how I'd fare. I'm almost certain I won't get in, but it doesn't really matter I guess. Ooh but I felt so under-dressed looking at the people (all girls) in the waiting room. Most of them were like wearing long-sleeve blouse and shoes. I just wore short-sleeve and I didn't wear proper shoes. At least I wore something that I was quite comfortable in.
I've made my decision and I told my mum that I don't think I would transfer. I sense that she was disappointed with my decision. I hope I was wrong. I don't want my mum to be disappointed, but at the same time, I just have to go with what's best for me and what I'll be happy with right?
And I think my mum is quite unhappy that I've been going out every single day. Can't be helped; there's nothing much to do at home! Actually there are stuff to do, like packing. I still haven't finished packing yet, only left with GP stuff, which looks really intimidating. But I'll be so bored at home! And I don't think next week will be much different. There's lunch with Huiling, going to Bukit Ho Swee, bible study, going out with Jessie Huiling Wendy, etc. Just hope I don't spend so much money. Nowadays, I'm really tempted to buy CDs. I'm trying to cut down on dl-ing and burning songs, but still not very successful.
Oh ya, the song that Anthony sang during American Idol on Wednesday is stuck in my head!
