the next step
after countless attempts and what not, trying many agencies and what not, i finally got the students to give private tuition for the entire year of 2014. three students in total and all stay within a bus ride or 40 minutes traveling time. two P6 students and one P2 student. teaching one English/Science, one Maths, one English/Maths.
not giving tuition for nearly two years sure has its effects. nonetheless, i had the first on since i ORD two days ago and i would say the experience was good. i rediscover the joy of helping people with their academics and teaching. blessed to have such nice student and 'employers'. however, this is just one student. will be meeting the second student on the coming Monday and then the third on the second day of CNY.
yes, you read that right. second day of CNY. guess the parents want that too, so doesn't seem i have much of a choice. just that i need to prepare for that lessons probably two days earlier, considering that i will be out all day on first day of CNY.
ohh well, private tuition it is then. the next step in 2014. shan't find extra jobs in between for i need time for myself and my loved ones. 6 days of lessons are decent i suppose. not too busy or not too free.

#yolo
"You Only Live Once". or many social media users will hash-tag in as #yolo. the hash-tag can be seen on almost every social media website you know and visit. pretty common term especially for those younger people for many things are new and what not to them.
to my social media idiot readers, the term #yolo is used by one normally when he/she is trying something new and is excited about it or doing something daring that might result to unexpected outcomes.
well, however it gets really annoying when some of them start to use #yolo as an excuse to do silly things or what not. they will be like partying like an animal, knowing that they have more important things to do and reason like "come on, #yolo you know". they will be like keen to exercise to burn fats but still feasting like tomorrow there will be no food, exclaiming like "nevermind #yolo, die then die".
well, personally i think #yolo should not be an excuse to do stupid things repeatedly and what not. i respect the idea of living like there is no tomorrow. however, living like there is no tomorrow and letting yourself totally out of control or loose are two really different things.
by the way, you don't live once but you live daily just that you die once. haha.. ohh well i guess #yolo sounds better than #yodo any day.
