Its gonna be the end of August soon!

I want my Kiehls and Bebe pay!!!

Up to my neck in bills already.

All the payslips seems to be in cahoots, collaborating with each other to elude me =(

My Kiehls' pay for June and July has yet to arrive. And hopefully will be getting it end of August.
Bebe's pay is slightly better, waiting eagerly for my July pay.

Only then can I start to clear my debts - Hand phone bills, credit card etc.

Poor me! =)



Went for "Pull and Bear" casting today, some superheroes costume event, with Tommy, William, James and his friend Shaun. Only Tommy got in. He's gonna be a SUPERHERO!

Anyway, we were casually chatting about his pay, and Tommy was saying that he has to repay his tuition fee loan of $750 each month. And i was like, "WAH!" So much!!! That's like almost a third of this salary! After we deducted all the miscellaneous expenses (Not gonna disclose on what), Tommy concluded that he only manages to save about $200 every month! And for those who don't know Tommy, He's a really thrifty dude who wouldn't spend on unnecessary items, so naturally, one would assume that his savings would be comparatively more than your average executive. I shudder to think of my salary and savings when I graduate.

No...i don't even wanna think of that!




We will be working at a carnival on Tanjong Beach, organized by the 3 local universities, namely NUS, NTU and SMU. Heard from Zling that there will be the "Dunk-a-dude" pool at the kiehls' booth, whereby people throw a ball at a target which in turns, unhook a mechanism that dunks the suspended person into the tank of water beneath him. Brings back the fond childhood memories in primary and secondary school, back in Fairfield, where i got to dunk people at ACJC's funfair - Fun O Rama. Now i get to relish these memories, except that I'll probably end up on the other end this time - getting dunked.

School Life



School has already started and things are starting to get busy
Lectures going on...and tutorials officially starting next week
Fortunately, i managed to get all of the tutorial slots that i wanted
With the exception of NM2217 - Creating Interactive Media "NOT ALLOCATED"
But thankfully, there's only two tutorial slots and one clashes with my other lecture
So, I'm still gonna get my desired tutorial slot on tuesday 4pm - 6pm! YAYS ^^



Outta School



Went to tutor "Hamburger" today - 3pm to 4.30pm

Tutored Stella next at Hougang - 5pm to 6.30pm

Hamburger is the nickname that i had given to my Primary 2 student
(the 1 that i told Nick to sit in tuition with - refer to older post "Reflection of Extreme Stupidity")

I named him Hamburger simply because his face is really round and chubby
Just like a hamburger =) Yeap...he is CUTE. Will upload his picture soon! =)
He can be pretty mischievous at times, since he's only Primary 2.
But like most cheeky boys, a sweet or chocolate will do the trick *wink* ^^
So he's pretty easy to handle i guess

Stella - Sec 1 student of mine
She's my favourite student! ^^


Simply because she's the most obedient and diligent one!

Now i understand why teachers love obedient student, especially the girls
They are really much much easier to teach and educate
And when it comes to homework and assignments
You can put your mind at ease and rest assured that it will be completed dutifully

Now i know why teachers always pick on mischievous boys like me =(

Coz we are a bunch of noisy, irritating, pesky and idiotic bums who create nothing but trouble.

I sympathize with teachers these days, who have to face these little monsters almost everyday!
I had the unfortunate experience of conducting enrichment classes with primary school and seconday school children just a couple of months back.


It was one hell of an experience!

I will

NEVER EVER go back to teach those "monsters" again!!!

I don't recall myself being such a pain in the ass back in primary and secondary school

Kids these days are really brats.

No joke.

I'm as serious as Prime Minister Lee giving the National day rally.

There was this incident whereby a group of girls requesting for my permission to go to the toilet to "settle" matters with another group of girls - all this happened halfway thru' lesson.


Primary 6 girls "settling" arguments in the toilet?

What is the world coming to?

I'm just glad that i'm giving tuition instead of conducting enrichment classes.



Gosh...it's only now that i realised that i've digressed quite a little.

Where was i?

Oh yah...tuition...

After the two tuition sessions, i went to meet up with Kevin, William, Kobe and Tommy
for our weekly badminton game near Kobe's place. This time there were only 5 of us.
But nevertheless, it was fun and tiring, sweating our guts out.
Kobe's gf then came down to look for us after her afternoon/evening nap
And we headed to our usual bubble tea stall to get our refreshing dose of MANGO TANGO
and other assorted drinks. I tried "NAUGHTY PEACH" today!!! =) *slurps*

Late Dinner next...before we called it a day and headed home







I was actually damn lazy to blog this post, but then i thought to myself, "No this cannot wait."
It must be uploaded ASAP for all to see! The kiehls people must have been eagerly anticipating this video update.


Well...its actually a "forfeit" video of Edison (Not that infamous guy involved in the scandal with one half of the pop duo, Twins), who lost at the game, "7-level pig", not once but TWICE in a row!

And you know what?

He's actually enjoying his punishment, relishing every moment of it! Weirdo! =)




Here's the link for the video if you guys wanna grab it...

Singapore were guaranteed their first Olympic medal since 1960 - and only their second of all time - by beating South Korea 3-2 in a grueling 3 hours and 15minutes long semifinal duel on Friday, to advance to the women's team championship final in table tennis.







Our "naturally-appointed-within-the-ranks" Kiehls coordinator, a.k.a William, received a pretty last minute request from Zling to find her 10 boys for each weekend of August to work @Kiehls









I was slacking at baby's place today since i had no lectures or tutorials, surfing leisurely on the net when i saw this piece of paper lying on the computer desk.

1. Siew Mai
2. Har Gow
3. BBQ Buns
   

See...got pose properly what?

Then she got me to take a couple for her.

That's her "bleah" face!

BLEAH #1

BLEAH #2

So cute!!! =P

Had a pretty eventful weekend working at Kiehls' - Tangs, as always. Was kinda fun working with the guys, and for the 2nd time possible, we got to wear shorts for work instead of the usual jeans. To be specific, we wore white shorts, to match our red "START HERE WITH KIEHLS" tees! =) National Day colours! Not that we were extremely patriotic though. I guess it just felt refreshing to wear shorts for a change - comfy and at the same time, presentable. And oh yah...kinda random...It was Sally's first day working at Kiehls' on Saturday. Took a few polarioids with the small one =) the photos will be uploaded soon muahahaha...

Shall update more about the Kiehls' event when i get the pictures from William! =)





I seriously have no idea which i hate more, but i guess they are kinda equally distressing when thought about. The hassle of scheduling common tutorial slots with your schoolmates is enough to kill a god-zillion brain cells. And when you thought things couldn't get any worse, the Tutorial balloting process comes along and leaves you clueless as to which tutorial to rank first with utmost importance and which to risk ranking with lower importance.
