Test of patience...
Giving tuition really really tests your level of patience. All along, I had the impression that I'm a rather patient person... apparently I've been proven wrong... I tried my best to explain to my tuitee a simple mathematical concept today.... after more than 30 mins of repeating and repeating myself, the only 3 words he could say were 'I don't know' again and again.... what the.... Ok, I didn't get pissed or anything, but just really amazed and slightly irritated that he didn't get it up till then... I was starting to wonder whether he even puts in effort to listen to what I am saying.... but what can I say? I was once like him I'm sure. Especially for Chinese... my mum would read to me a particular word i'm unsure of in the passage, and no matter how many times I read the passage, I'd still forget the same word.... =_|.... So, whenever I feel like pulling at my hair in frustration, I gotta remember that I was once like him too....
At least after the tuition, went with mk and rich to JB again for supper =). One great way to relax... 'ji4 qiong3 fan2' really is a great supper dish too... especially when it is complimented with fried oyster... But we really have gotta find some betta place to eat in JB... I've gotta feeling that we are being 'kan' every time we go there.... cause i see lots of singaporeans there too.... and just like in singapore, places where u see lots of foreigners and tourists, those are the places you really shouldn't be going to eat at....
