I'm a really critical - very critical person according to some of the closest people around me. But it's only to them that i'm so critical. i don't want to mould them into the shape i desire, but just to see their rough edges smoothen. Sometimes i guess i ask for too much from these people dearest to me. I put them down and make them feel inferior with my presence. Ok, but this is not another of my depressing posts. just a self-reflection.
well, today's rather well spent. I had a tuition session with the 'china dolls', so i name my twins-students who hail from China. teaching english has never been such a challenge that i get my adrenaline rushing from it. I taught them pronunciation today. All the [k]s, [t]s,..Also, taught them composition writing skills, thinking creatively. i almost made lunch for them. They are too lazy to buy and too lousy to cook. Was intending whip up some simple dishes but my goodness, their stocks are by any standards, low. So well, they had to go hungry. Imagine staying in an unfamiliar place, isolated by the idiosyncracies of the natives, without the presence of your parents. their parents are busy working in china and only visit them once every few months, and each time a few days. So you can imagine them resorting to crap food like instant noodles and biscuits for meals. i'll definitely find a chance to edify them on the importance of having proper nourishment.
I just love the fact that their tuition place is a tunnel away from east coast park. i used to walk over to ecp for a run every time after a session, but somehow i stopped till today. Did a 5km run, i need to lose those love handles, after the exam.
