Gorge-ous me

It’s been a really sinful Saturday. Been a long time since I had so much to eat in one day. Eeks! The tyres are pumping up.

Breakfast
After sleeping for 3 and a half hours on Saturday morning (well, that apparently is peanuts compared to Hoon.. right?), met up with Neo at Bugis for Macs breakfast. Had the Hotcakes with sausage meal. Mmm-mmm. Been quite a while since I had that.

Markus picked us up, and went to the airport to send the Bruneians off. Trainees came to. Mahathir, Waisan, Firdaus, Douglas, and many more I can’t remember now. Shah and his gf Mega was there. Ivan too. The Bruneians seemed sad to leave. Took photos, and chatted a while. Oh, and they gave us chocolates too. Belgium chocolates. Haha.

Met up with Jolene and the 4 of us (Mark, Neo, Jo and me) went off to Cineleisure for lunch.

Lunch
Lunch was a killer. Really really deadly. We had sushi buffet. It was, WOW. $24.80 buffet. And we had tonnes of food. Soft-shell crabs, sushi, sashimis, ice-cream puffs, and much much more. The drinks were free flow too. Alan, Raymond. Liuyun and his gf were there too. Sat on separate tables. Heng-zai came in late.

We were so full after 2 hours of munching and slurping, but all thanks to yours truly, we started playing “zong ji mi ma”. Whoever guesses the right number would have to forfeit and eat whatever is placed on the plate. 1st one to get it was mark. Then me. Then Neo. Then mark and neo again. Jolene didn’t get to eat anything. Lucky. The last one was eaten by neo. It was the omelet sushi, topped off with wasabi, the size of a 5cent coin.

He started tearing after eating it. Haha.

Went bowling at Katong after lunch. Kept falling asleep in Mark’s car cause I was so tired. Wonder if I snored on the car. Hope not. Haven’t bowled since the JC days. The ball just kept rolling down the drain. Irritating. But there were a couple of strikes and spares too. *grins*

Dinner
Went back Bugis after that. Mark had to pick up his gf. So all of us alighted there. Went to coffee beans and had an ice-blended caramel milk coffee. It was fantastic, but expensive though.

Took a bus back. Managed to keep myself awake by reading the new book I got 2 weeks back. Called “Honeymoon”. Really nice thriller. Tonnes of twists and turns. Adventure, mystery, humour, sex, and a deep plot. Fantastic.

Came home, and got to know that mum would be cooking curry, and I went like, “oh no.”

Told mum not to cook my share of rice. Sighs. But the curry was too tempting to resist. Had a bowl. And resisted a second one there after.

Tuition
Going to tuition soon. Bryan then Jasmine. Tomorrow night would be Carol’s turn. Taught Eric last night. And gonna coach him again tmr night too. Hmm. Wonder if giving tuition actually helps. Was thinking that, the purpose of a tuition teacher, is just there to clarify and doubts, rather than to teach the actual topic itself. We’re what I call, supplements, rather than staple.

And many a times, I feel that many kids out there don’t actually NEED supplements. Their staple are sufficient. All they have to do is to have some initiative and do their own exercises and studies. That would suffice. They don’t need us to be there, to sit down by their side and actually look at them finish their homework or assignments.

But perhaps with so many distractions in our lives, TVs, internet, phones, etc back at home, it’s quite tough to have that kind of self-discipline. Maybe that’s what tutors are for. To be there answer their questions, and on behalf of their parents, make sure that they are doing their work.

Gonna miss church again. Sighs. Feeling bad. Real bad. Forgive me.
