for an hour i was a homeless wandering spirit this morning...

wanted to make a cheesecake for my mum's birthday cos i'm going for dinner with debbie, jiehui, shini and yiting tmr so felt a bit bad for not eating with the family when it's her bdae. i had no idea that both ntuc and liberty open at 9, i thought they should be open by 8. so i just wandered aimlessly around the basement of jurong point... hahaha think the other vendors getting ready to open their shops thought i was mad. cheesecake was toooo sweet (haha sweet is good, birthday must eat something sweet rite)... but still yummy though. *grinz* with piggish pple like me & bro, it'll be gone in 2-3 days' time! =D

fortunately i was looking forward to finally trying the cheesecake tonight, otherwise i think would have died during tuition. can't stand it, he's so cute and sweet at times, yet he's often so very irritating! try telling him why a plant in a glass box grows while another in a wooden box doesn't, and he'll tell you that the sun can shine through wood.
mx: *goes behind a chair* see, i here behind chair still can see what!
jess: no, not can see or cannot see. the sunlight cannot go through the chair.
mx: can!
jess: if i cover your window with wood can the sun still shine in? can you still see the light?
mx: *grins* can! on the light lor!
jess: (exasperated) i'm talking about sunlight, not the light in your house!

no use giving him homework... he'll just write random answers for mcq, like 1234 all the way. three-digit number minus two-digit number he still wrote 7777. hmmph i was so angry, made him do it again. but he didn't want to do and tried to close the book... i was snatching the book from him [O_o?? jess actually snatches books from adorable little kids??!!] and during the tug-of-war his hand accidentally closed on my pencil instead of the book. OUCH! my heart broke! his face screwed up from the shock and pain... kept apologising but nothing could erase that look of hurt and anger he gave me.

as if that wasn't bad enough, his mother just brushed the incident away as a small matter. ok, it's quite a small matter... just an accident, but he just wanted her to comfort him! actually he's still quite attached to his mum. when she walks past during tuition time he'll turn around and if she takes no notice of him, he'll say, ma! and then his brother's tuition teacher was complaining about how the brother doesn't do homework properly and filled in his grammar excercise randomly (they're really one of a kind huh). his mother was very angry about that and even though tuition time was over she made him do the homework again... and she was scolding the two of them when i left. sigh. ARRRRGHHHH! i don't like his laziness and his attitude towards tuition, yet at the same time i just can't bear to see him get scolded by his mother. ok, there'll be people saying, you're too soft-hearted! that's just how i feel... tuition totally drains my energy, every time i have to argue with him and then there are the scoldings he gets from his mother.

help! i need some peace!!!! and lots of chocolate. hmmm... no chocolate left, i guess cheescake will do! :)
