yes this is an update of my life.
well, one of my hope for the start of the year 2017 has come true. i have finally found another tutee to teach and keep my weekends and some weekday evenings occupied, earning extra cash for luxury and school fees payment all at the same time. the place is rather inaccessible but okay rather close to home. so now i have 2 students but three days of tuition. slotting this new on into my schedule is kind of tricky so i doubt two is max for now. i'm happy and satisfied with the current workload anyway. more than two with this semester of six modules might not be a very good idea.
so yeah today was the first of the many Saturdays teaching two different students. one in the morning, the other in the evening. been a while since i last teach two lessons in a day. slightly tiring but i'll get used to it real soon. i have to. seems like Saturday will be my new day to keep my mind off university workload. used to be Sunday but now given the time needed to travel and teach on Saturday.. hmm yeah you get the idea.
tuition settled. now for internship. still awaiting replies though. sigh.. it is almost March. process faster dear folks reading my applications.. thanks.. lol. until next time then, cheers.

goalkeeper
whether you are into football, or as the Americans called soccer, you ought to be familiar with the term "goalkeeper" and his/her role in the game. if you don't, either you are too young to be walking or too dumb to be reading this.. lol. anyway, assuming you know the roles of a goalkeeper in football games, i am going to relate the responsibilities and actions of a goalkeeper to our every life.
let's talk goalkeeper first. every fan would expect their team's goalkeeper to save shots and keep balls out of the net. every fan would expect their team's goalkeeper to make decisive actions like punching the ball to clearance or kicking it away or challenging an on-coming striker.. all to keep the ball out. fantastic saves are usually admired and appreciated for a couple of minutes, or in more crucial scenarios for days. however, when a goalkeeper fumbles and makes a silly mistake, the world will remember him for the rest of time. mockery and insults would be hurled now and then despite time of incident in history.
just like the goalkeeper, we are living everyday with such constant scrutiny. whenever are do a good deed and achieve great stuff, you will be remembered for a while most of the time. people would congratulate you or praise you now and then. however, when you screw up, people switch sides instantaneously and judged you based on that one mishap. taking a slightly extreme case for example, imagine a well-mannered man who has done tons of good deeds and help countless souls but one desperate moment resulted him to commit a crime. in everyone's eyes, he is a bad man. no amount of past deeds can pay for his one time mistake.
fair or unfair? that i will not answer but i will leave you with these thoughts. remember that everyone is always fighting battles of their own. while bad things they done might be glaring at you, at times think about the person as a whole. don't be too quick to judge.. take time to understand the situation or better, the person.

squeezed
yes this is an update of my life.
i am not sure is it just me forgetting a few things or is it really that i am almost done with my revision for my midterms. for the haters out there, no i am not bragging that i do shit fast but i am currently unsure if what i have done is enough. revised lectures, tutorials and PYPs. just got my cheatsheet done as well. so what now? i guess i am ready.. just need to relax for the rest of my recess week i guess.
come to think of it, i took four days to do all these on top of other commitments that i have to attend to. if i were to squeeze even more, giving myself less break time, maybe i can clear all in 2.5 days. ohh wells.. i feel weird but at the same time accomplished. help.
recess week stuff aside, i am still in a mental confusion state of not knowing what my mind or even heart wants. i find myself not being decisive lately and hopefully all these nonsense can be gone soon. until next time then, cheers.
