tuition on sun was not as smooth as i predict it'll be... its not a chinese family btw... so i was sort of "di-ao" when i stepped into e hse... but e gers were fine.. juz tt e mother dun understand eng... cos i was like "hi, auntie!" and e mother reply me with a string of foreign language which i tink shld be a hi back.. haha.. but their hi is certainly veri long yea?
anyway, didnt bother much abt e mother... i juz go into e room and start.. haha
sec 1 was a breeze... haha.. she was asking me abt units. i mean, wats there so diff abt units? haha.. juz kilograms, metres and seconds lar.. haha (well, there's other but basically for sec 1 they oni need to noe these lar)so i spend most of e time explaining to her abt units... i didnt noe i could even explain wat units r in e first place.. haha.. tt's juz so basic.. as for math, wat i can say is tt sec 1 math is oso damn easy lar.. she ask me how to convert 2.2 hr into hr and min... tink she juz dunno how to change 0.2 hr to mins.. so spend quite some time explaining tt to her as well... in all, teaching sec 1 is chicken feet lar.. haha
teaching e sec 4 ger was a little more tough cos i 4got a lot of facts myself and i didnt got e time to read thru my old textbook as i oni got e notice on sat and im suppose to start on sun.. but she ask me all e simple topic so still ok lar.. we touch on forces, momentum and a little bit of electricity.. lucky i still remember some formulas.. if not veri throw face leh... haha.. but im gonna read up more 4 next week in case she ask me those diff ques...
i didnt noe how to ans this Q tho..
Q: list 2 properties of electro-magnetic wave (EM wave)?
i cant remember my facts, but luckily i brought my book so i was like "wait har..." then i filp thru my book quickly.. tink e ger muz have thot of me as a bad tutor.. haha.. in e end i oni found out tt EM wave travel at e speed of light and i couldnt find e other property... then i told her to ask her teacher when she go sch!!! wahahah... wat a bad teacher.. haha..
then yesterday i told kx abt my experience and ask her this Q.. u noe wat? she ans me almost immediately " well, e other property is tt EM waves are all transverse waves LAR.." omg.. she can still remember e facts so well.. no wonder she got a A during As lar... but she like 7 mths nv touch book le still can remember lor.. i really pei fu her..
took leave yesterday to go for medical checkup with kx at NTU.. it was so crowded.. really regretted gg on e last week.. and we got to noe a new fren.. she's call melissa and she's in environmental engin... quite cute and friendly.. but oso not in e same sch..so yea..
checkup was fast but e waiting time was long... and e most scary part was e urine test lar.. haha.. e 3 of us was so nervous tt we stand outside e washroom for quite some time b4 we went in.. haha.. pple thot it was crowded inside.. hee :)
after checkup, we went to e student services centre to hand in kx's giro form.. well, we got lost for a while but luckily melissa found e right way.. gg ard in NTU is not easy lor.. its like a maze!!
and tt dumb centre is located at e top of a hill lar.. so we 3 were like hiking yesterday lor... need to climb up so many stairs b4 we reach tt place... and i seriously find NTU pple not veri polite..
after handing in forms and climbing downhill, we went to jurong point to have our
x-ray.. its was fast but e funny guy told us to bite our necklace b4 we can have e x-ray.. and kx necklace was short so it fell out of her mouth when e x-ray is done.. haha.. her x-ray will probably show her necklace ba.. hee :) a foreign object up in e chest.. haha..
checkup was finally over by 1 plus.. but considering tt we reach NTU at 10.. it was quite long..
after tt , we ta-bao lunch and went to row's hse to make bracelets.. we had pizza hut's baked rice!! hee.. not bad lar.. but row say their pastas' beta.. so gonna try tt next time.. :)
bracelets making is not easy leh... i thot we juz need to string up e beads then ok liao.. but tt's not e case.. u need to use a special bead board, separate those beads into their respective colour scheme, arrange those beads into pattern and muz make sure colour of beads blend in nicely.. tough work.. but stringing beads was fun.. i learn how to do those cris-cross stringing!!! feel so proud when im done with e bracelets!!
well, of course i didnt do it without help... if not i go row hse 4 wat.. haha.. and gg to row's hse was fun..cos her hse is really nice and cozy.. dun feel like gg home after tt.. haha.. and her collection of earrings was.... er.. is there a word for a lot more than a lot? haha.. yea.. tt will be wat i wld use to describe her collection..she design those earrings herself and she sell it in a website.. business was rather gd, i was told.. :)
back to e boring work...
