My workplace...

After working for more than 1 month at Kingston International School, i have decided to talk more about it. During this period, i have taught 3 students. One is a fifteen year old boy from Taiwan while the other two are both chinese national female adults. The former, who i had stopped tutoring, was at times acting too girlish but nonetheless a cheerful personality at the school. The latter, who i am now still tutoring them simple conversational English from my first day, have been quite cooperative to say the least.








Not to mention the miserable pay of 600 bucks i am drawing now, i have enjoyed teaching the 2 adults. One of them, her attitude is spot on and after each lesson, she would go home and spend hours revising on what was taught. It's really heartening to know that how hard your student is working hard to improve her English, how serious she is in for the lesson and the effort she puts in. The other, who is not as good as her, i think she needs more time but she is improving too.







Connie's Farewell





I had come to know this lady who is a mother of three. Her name is Connie. She incidentally stepped in her post at Kingston on feb 9th, same as mine. For twice she has treated me to barley drink at the coffee shop, saying that she is working but i am not. Haha, so cute lah. Even when i tried treating her back she insisted we go dutch. Then on her last working day, she even gave me a perfume as present which i really appreciated. Thanks Connie and i wish you all the best in everything you do:)



I know this is going to be a loooong post but i am still gonna blog about this... That is LIVERPOOL 4 MAN U 1! Yes, though the scoreline is impressive, nothing beats the fantastic 4 spending time together watching soccer matches. Yesterday was a roller-coaster night of emotions.



Before the match HW was saying' Aiya, MAN U sure win one la. Homeground somemore...' .



After Ronaldo scored from penalty, HW had grown more in confidence that MAN U would win the match.



Soon later, after Torres equalised through some horrid defending by world player of the year nominee Vidic and some sublime finishing from the Spaniard himself, HW shook his head in disbelieve while AL stood up and celebrated. 1-0 to Liverpool.



At, 1-2,a silly foul by Vidic on Gerrard warranted the former the marching orders and HW was incensed. MAN U were reduced to 10 man... Their collapse started right from here and i shall not say any further.



Though it's 4-1 to Liverpool, the victory still goes to the Fantastic 4. Forever will the power of four remain strong as ever. Cheers!
