Still don't update, I'll be getting shot at for a dead blog!

It's been a rainy past month, and everything's going pretty well at the moment. Except that I didn't manage to motivate my current batch enough to make them work harder. Sometimes I wonder whether I am too slack with them, maybe I should just be a wacko and be really harsh with them. This year, most of the graduating groups which started fresh this year, didn't manage to catch up to syllabus before Mid-year, I don't know what happened.

Anyway, something happy happened.

Deyi Band has earned their 2nd consecutive wins in SYF for 2010 with 3 golds since the victory in 2008. I'm glad I kept my promise to be there, I witness a very sensational performance. It's very different watching it live with people you know, then to watch it on Youtube.

I would say I can feel the teamwork, the hardship they put in. I think it's all bearing fruit already, and they tasted their first sweet taste of victory first hand. Good job! Like I said, I was only there to watch the winners, and I did.



This is the video of their performance, and I'm very proud to share this with everyone. Witness their hardwork, and their perseverance. To me, they are the champions no matter what the result was.

A new business was opening and one of the owner's friends wanted to send him flowers for the occasion. They arrived at the new business site and the owner read the card,....

"Rest in Peace."

The owner was angry and called the florist to complain.

After he had told the florist of the obvious mistake and how angry he was, the florist replied, "Sir, I'm really sorry for the mistake, but rather than getting angry, you should imagine this: somewhere, there is a funeral taking place today, and they have flowers with a note saying,... 'Congratulations on your new location!'

Adios!

Everybody's been talking about Tiger Woods, and Jack Neo. So I guess maybe this post, I could post something about it too! Kaypoh ma...

You guys actually think, that what happened was really worth that kind of media effort? I don't know about you, but I think everyone needs to open their eyes to see the real world. Like... Hello... this is how the real world is, welcome to the real world.

It's real and it's happening everywhere, people who are unfaithful to their spouse. You may not like it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Hell.. I absolutely hate starving, but I still starve myself silly when I don't have time in between lessons to eat!

If maybe some random people out there is unfaithful to his wife, do you think there is a need for him to make a public apology? Just because they are Tiger Woods and Jack Neo, that doesn't mean shit. It's basically just an ugly side of life, which is fully blown into paparazzi material.

My advice? Learn from others' mistakes. You don't have to bear the consequences, but you can learn as well. If you know something is wrong, then just don't do it, silly.


Anyway, I had a good rest today, so many people didn't turn up due to "marathon". Sometimes I wonder if it's more taxing on the body, or the mind. It's definitely taxing on my pocket though!

Ohya Chris, you and your "finger movement" thingy is spreading like crazy! I'm seriously considering asking you to make a short video of it and post it on Facebook, THAT WOULD BE COOL BEANZ!


DDOJ:

One Sunday morning George burst into the living room and said, "Dad! Mom! I have some great news for you! I am getting married to the most beautiful girl in town. She lives a block away and her name is Susan. After dinner, George's dad took him aside, "Son, I have to talk with you. Look at your mother, George. She and I have been married 30 years, she's a wonderful wife and mother, but, she has never offered much excitement in the bedroom, so I used to fool around with women a lot."

"Susan is actually your half sister, and I'm afraid you can't marry her." George was brokenhearted.

After eight months he eventually started dating girls again. A year later he came home and very proudly announced, "Diane said yes! We're getting married in June." Again his father insisted on another private conversation and broke the sad news. "Diane is your half sister too, George.

"I'm awfully sorry about this." George was livid! He finally decided to go to his mother with the news his father had shared.

"Dad has done so much harm. I guess I'm never going to get married," he complained. "Every time I fall in love, Dad tells me the girl is my half sister."

"Hee hee," his mother chuckled, shaking her head, "Don't pay any attention to what he says. He's not really your father."

Adios!

It's been a weird weird fun day.

Firstly, it was Lee Keng's birthday, so her group met up at Hub. We ate and had lots of fun chatting, then while going back, saw a whole bunch of others too! Well, happy birthday Keng!

Then subsequently at night, a bunch of sillies called me to tell me something emotional. Although it sounded as if it was their last words, but it was a moment of emo which I think I can accept, for just tonight, heh. Alright alright.. love you too!

Treasure the ones who are always around you, even if they might sound silly, or sound ridiculous, or make you angry most of the time. In the end, people who are close to you, will always be close to you. It's just a matter of time whether you admit that fact, or you realize it when you lose it.

So don't be a klutz and think the whole world owes us, they don't. We lead our own lives, so we should live life to the fullest!!!

Frog Psychic Hotline

Recently, the Psychic Hotline have launched a hotline for frogs. Here is a story of a frog and his discussion with the psychic.

A frog phones the Psychic Hotline and is told, "You are going to meet a beautiful young girl who will want to know everything about you."

The frog asks, "This is great! Will I see her at a party, or what?"

"No." says the Psychic.

"Next semester in her biology class."

Adios!

Haven't been posting for a long time, and some are already bitching at me to start, heh. I don't post VERY interesting posts, but I guess I have some long overdue ones to share.

Year 2010, I seem to have quite some interesting bunch of students, here are some to share.

1. Theres this guy, who spam my biscuits all the time, and after gorging himself full with the biscuits... he would SLAP his tummy and heave sighs of content!! Imagine THAT !

2. Then theres this girl, who are just as crazy about animes and mangas as I used to, or rather, a bunch of them who idolize MJ!! And yet about 2 years ago, I thought my kind was an extinct one. Now you see them sprouting out from nowhere.

3. Following the cartoon "Bananas in Pajamas" which has B1 and B2, I have a cute girl who makes me G2 and shes G1.

4. Then there's this girl, whom I just can't resist.......... throwing paper balls at her!

5. Following Arun, theres now another guy who is even taller than him, 1.93m ! I know who to ask to change my room's lightbulb now.

6. A little chilli girl who always bullies me in lessons, although I admit I simply love to piss her off sometimes, but we do get good laughs! (sounds like you, Jocelyn Sim!)

7. Gabryel from St. Gabriel, I'm still waiting for a Teck Ghee from Deyi, Anderson from Anderson, or maybe Nicholas from St. Nicholas, which is IMPOSSIBLE

8. A little girl, who loves to wear oversize stuffs on her, specs, watches etc!


And the list goes on, I have wonderful and interesting students, I guess I'm gonna have a good year ahead of me! I guess I'm blessed (fingers crossed).


DDOJ:

A secondary school teacher arrived late for class to find a most uncomplimentary drawing of himself on the whiteboard. Fuming, he asked the class, “Who is responsible for this atrocity?!”

The class clown won tremendous prestige among his peers by answering, “I really don’t know, but I strongly suspect his parents.”

Adios!

19th Jan Rainy

Haven't had this big rain for a long time, tonight's big time raining was pretty refreshing. Just kinda realized, with the rain hitting on the roof of my car, that I'm gonna go through the same old shit with the new batches. Going through double entry, blah blah blah and what have you...

Went out to grab supper for my sister, and saw one of my old time buddy. I would have to say I was pretty surprise, not with the sudden met up, but more about the strange handshake. Seems so unnatural to me, almost like strangers. I guess we really haven't been talking for a damn long time. I almost didn't realize it was THAT long already. We even have the same birthday.

Anyway, friend of mine came back from Japan, and of all presents, he gave me a pretty entertaining monkey doll that laughs! He can tumble and roll, and has this pretty damn funny laughter, I swear it even sounds like my friend. I'll be sure to introduce you all the monkey next time, batteries already loaded!


DDOJ:

Doctor Bob had sex with one of his patients and had felt guilty all day long.

No matter how much he tried to forget about it, he couldn't. The guilt and sense of betrayal was overwhelming.

Every once in a while, however, he'd hear that soothing voice, within himself, trying to reassure him: "Bob, don't worry about it. You aren't the first doctor to sleep with one of their patients, and you won't be the last. And you're single. Let it go."

But invariably another voice would bring him back to reality: "Bob, you're a veterinarian!"

Adios!

14th Jan Happy!

This year's birthday was the most uneventful, yet most well wishes one for me. What a way to start my last 20s before heading into that dreaded 30. Haha!

Really thanks lots for all the well wishes from everyone! Makes my heart feels fuzzy and warm inside, heh. This year I won't be celebrating or what, but I'll be meeting you guys one by one, and then we'll have a nice catch up session.

If you are happy, everyday's a celebration isn't it?

Love you guys!

Short Birthday Jokes!

The most effective way to remember your wife's birthday is to forget it once.

A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.

Birthdays are good for you. Statistics show that the people who have the most live the longest.

A birthday is just the first day of another 365-day journey around the sun. Enjoy the trip!

Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what happened.

Grandma, is it exciting being 99?
It certainly is! If I wasn't 99 I'd be dead.

The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.

Q: Why do we put candles on top of a birthday cake?
A: Because it's too hard to put them on the bottom!

Q: How can you tell that you're getting old?
A: You go to an antique auction and three people bid on you!

Adios!

Congratulations for all the people who successfully passed O levels and is moving on to the next stage of their lives. You couldn't have done it if you didn't insist on working hard all the way, and for that, it is commendable!

The usual crap I will post at the end of this O levels.

When you are choosing what to enter for, please keep this in mind.

Don't choose the school, CHOOSE THE COURSE.

Don't ever listen to cock and bull stories about what and what school is not good, what and what school's cert is not recognized. If you are not convinced, just ask me your concern, I will show you with proof that what you are thinking about is entirely wrong.

I don't want you to regret choosing a course that you will hate taking. Thus, keep this concept in mind. Nobody in the future will care about what school you came from, they will only be concern with whether you have the right diploma or experience to take the job. Any employers who reject applications due to their school being "not so good", is a dumb employer. You are better off not working for such idiots.

You guys have until Friday to decide. Don't waste your time, and think hard about what you want to do. Don't enter poly for the sake of entering. This is my last advice to you as your tutor.


As for the few who didn't manage to hit the marks needed, you have to make your decisions known soon. Call me if you need advice, I'm always available.

As for some special note for a few of you.

Wee Tat: Your decision to stay and take O levels again did not fail you. It is because you worked for it and you made it.

Leon: Your decision to stay too, has made it.

I'm glad both of you persevere and made it through, I'm especially proud of both of you.


Congratulations once again, I'm glad and thankful for the memories you all have given me (as well as money muahaha) in the year 2009 and before. I won't forget every single one of you, just like your seniors.

Yet another year has come. We will now part as tutor and students, I'm proud to call you all now, my precious friends.


P.S. I love you guys.
