A raise in Pay

last night was my 2nd last day as a tuition teacher. Its been 4 long months and a tiring time. But i have to say that i'm proud and happy to be able to help the children. In 2 weeks, i taught the girl from Kata Ganda, kata hubung, kata dasar, kata majmuk, kata tunggal ....so much to teach. teaching them, i have to ride a rocket instead of a roller coaster. I have to fast forward everything and summarize it so that can fair well in their exams.

Well, this week is exam week and its a crazy week for me. I have to give them tests and make the boy make over 30 sentences to prep him for the english paper tat he wil be sitting today. I hope he fairs well and does not repeat the mistakes i taught over and over again a zillion times. I told them:" 我把人家四五年學的英文在短短四個月傳教給你們, hope u can zap sang lar."

actually as their teacher i am happy that they improved . I saw from a 0 to a 55 improvement. But i'm happy that i changed their study 'budaya'. meaning that from a chinese cartoon couch potato, i kinda forced them to switch to be an English cartoon kid. and i kinda make them watch at least an hour of Animal Planet(my friends say that i am crazy) per week..haha...+they know how to check the dictionary now! gonna miss them!

and the best thing is that their mum actually raised my pay RM 50 as they kinda appreciated what i had done to help them. The money was not the best deal, its the appreciation you earn from your hard work that really counts for me! really satisfied.....haah...all the best to Yong Zhi Fong and Yong Siew Ling. You guys better work hard and do well in your exams!
