Crash Course Ended

-
Took a cab to the boy's place for the final lesson of the crash course that I was conducting. I have been taking cabs to his place since the start of the crash course. This boy is staying at Telok Kurau, a 3 storey bungalow located in ulu ulu area. Luckily, I decided to adjust the fees that it was very deep in East Coast. A bus ride will be accompanied by a long walk from the bus stop.

The boy is indeed very weak in the accounting subject. The angry thing was that after a few moments, the boy will be turning his head around to elsewhere, without looking at his books or listening to my explaination. As a result, I had to explain the same topic repeatedly. The most number of times that I explained to him for a topic was 5 times.

His mum was friendly, but when it came to the fee payment, she said that I charged her too expensive. I felt like telling her. :-
  1. Auntie, u stay so far & so deep, I had to spend money on taxi fare. If you have sent your son to my place, I will definitely charge cheaper.
  2. I told her that her son was pretty weak in the subject and told her to get his other son, who is an auditor to help him with his revision.

Fortunately, his dad was okay with the fees, so he paid me willingly. The amount that they pay me will go to the PC service fee that will be paid to the serviceman, when I get the PC back on Monday or Tuesday.

My mum is nagging again about my spending. I told her that I have been cutting down on unnecessary gatherings and taxi trips to office. I told her that my colleagues have been making me take taxis because of their lack of understanding and work efficiency. I also told her that I was not the one opening the audit firm, therefore I have no right to say that I can leave my client alone and just go for my lesson.

My dad was suggesting that I take out the New Singapore Shares and Economic Restructuring Shares. After paying on behalf of my parents my brother's fees, I am seriously considering that if my mum cannot pay me back first.

This is also the reason why I am seriously thinking of changing a job, even though I am still taking my ACCA. If I can't leave soon, I think I can die soon from the lack of prospect of the job.

Dinner @ Bacchus @ Dempsey

I joined the Facebook Foodies Club for dinner at Bacchus last night. Yesterday was with a smaller group of people with 11 people. It meant that I had a chance to interact with people and enjoy good food at the same time. I certainly had a good time knowing Deborah, Rene, Wenna, Chris & Catherine. The good part was having my singing buddy, Jonathan around as well, making me able to enjoy the dinner and making friends with relative ease. I must say I enjoyed the food, that I ordered. I ordered the Flumuken,Bawhrust susages and tiramisu cake. You must be thinking that why I ordered so much food. I must say I was very hungry as I didn’t have a filling lunch. Although, it burned a hole in my pocket, but it is certainly good to indulge in myself sometimes! I like the ambience of the restuarant. After the dinner, we indulged ourselves in some German wine before we were asked to pose for photos. After that, we adjourned to Harry’s Bar for a drink and chat session. Jonathan was so afraid

My Hosting Script for The National Day Event

-
I just managed to work out the draft hosting script for the National Day Event I am hosting. I am thankful for all the comments that I have received from my fellow RC members and friends. Just feel that sometimes, no matter whatever you do, some people, no matter for what reasons, will not be happy with the arrangements. I just wish to say that I am already trying my best to try to get this event going, considering the fact, that this is the 1st time I am organising an RC event. I have also tried my best, despite the fact that I would like to have a free hand to organise the event, just like what I usually do for the KTV events I have on Facebook, I accommodated to the requests that I should somehow follow the past years’ format to do the event. I know that I am not very familiar with how things are run at the RC, therefore in the end, my organising committee only made some changes to the event as we had a limited budget to work on. I even volunteered myself to do the hosting for the

June Musings

 It has been a while since I last blogged. Since then, I am settling well into my role, although there were some incomings and outgoings, which are common in any workplace.   I managed to catch a last glimpse of Yishun Orto before it closed on 30 June. I would like Leonard, Wendy & Michael, as without them performing at the Happiest Hour Bar & Bistro, I guess I would never go to this place, as I had not so fond memories of a nearby place during my NS days.   I did not manage to get A* Mei or Jacky Cheung concert tickets this round. It could be a sign for me to build up my savings again after an unstable 3 years on the job front. I hope to stay on this job for a while despite its lack of transport amenities and lack of shelters for rain as it is not often that you can have great teams of colleagues and bosses with whom you can get along well. I guess having a boss who is differently abled helps me to settle in well as colleagues tend to be more understanding and caring.
