'tis another day..
long time since i've updated my blog, huh? hmm now tht i dun update it so often, i guess it's not so much of a habit alr. anw, i'm done with work le. no more waking up earli (even though i woke up earli today, on a monday - will explain ltr). but tmr will be a brand new day, and i'll get my beauty slp. hopefully. haha it's not gd to slp so much too, rite?
blasting the song 'girlfriend' by avril lavigne (still like her, ben? heh). the song's quite cute. haha catchy, actually. such a girly punk song, so unlike avril. but oh wells, whtever suits her.
whew tuition'll be over in two more wks. but i feel bad. like, i'm giving up on her (somehow) when it's almost her crucial period - PSLE. but judging frm my timetable (unlike last sem which i've had 2 free wkdays) for next sem, i reli dun think i'll haf the time to teach her and balance my homework. hmm. but it's like, she's made so much progress, u knw? she juz scored the best score for a recent math test, out of her whole class! i mean, tht's reli a great improvement, smth which even i myself didnt expect. so i juz.. dun feel like giving the chance to improve her further to someone else, now tht i've gone so far. but she's not a toy, nor a product. so i'm gonna leave things in her best interest.
gg to move back hall this wkend. whew. need to start packing my bags. (sounds like i'm running away. haha) aftr much calculation (5 seconds of it, to be exact), i realized that i probably onli have one - two days to slack - max. i have a meeting on wed, tuition on thurs/fri, so tht leaves onli tues or thurs/fri (whichever day without the tuition). oh, plus i need to pack. hmm which will probably take half a day? (haha how optimistic can one get?)
i borrowed 6 lib bks at one shot (borrowed my dad's card to borrow the 2 extra). haha wonder if i can finish reading it. oh wells.
today morn i woke up at 8am!! er, ok, so it's considered earli for me. haha. anws, went to sentosa along with the FOC programmers. went to underwater world for FREE. can u believe it? pple (adults) pay $19.90 (wht psychological pricing) to get in and the few of us got in for free. hehe. so it was rather worth it to wake up earli in the morning. besides, as i said, it's not good to slp too much either. muahaha. excuses for everything - wht to do, i'm only human.
aftr the sentosa thingy, i, as the good girl tht i always am, went to give tuition to Elisha (yep, the pri 6 kid). and somewhere in tht lazy late afternoon, i realized tht despite how fairytales are made and how they end, pple somehow still dig sad endings. mb not everybody, but i'm sure somewhere deep within them, they love tht sad part, too. mb it's becos they're glad tht it's not smth tht happened to them.
like, the little mermaid. it's supposed to be a sad story, but well, as fairytales always end, 'they live happily ever after'. little mermaid was supposed to miss the deadline the sea witch gave her and she was supposed to turn into bubbles. and the prince was supposed to move on with his life and marry someone else. ariel wasn't meant to go on and have another kid. i love the little mermaid tale. but somehow becos of this hidden truth.. well, let's juz say tht i may even love tht alternative ending even more.
it's not a measure of one's sadistic nature. it's juz.. smth unexplainable, i think. juz like on fanfiction.net (a website where pple write stuff and place it on the net for open viewing), one of the best stories (judged from the total no. of readers' reviews, total no. of pple who have put in under their list of 'fav authors' etc) is actually the one with the sad ending. not the one with a 'happily ever after'. i mean, u can call me sadistic if u want, but i juz dun believe tht so many pple all over the world are sadistic, too. i mean, readers are frm NZ, england, america and even thailand. so.. tht's juz my two cent's worth.
