I am so pissed with myself ! Already made promise not to take cab liao but still ... Why can't I just control not to squander money this way ? How many times must I remind myself that my dad is working so hard under rain or sun ?
I'm not saying that I despise his job or whatever , but how long must it take to let me finally realise that money is hard to earn ?
I've changed the tuition timing to 6-8pm so that I'll still be able to take bus/train , and reach home by 9pm . But when I came out of the lift , a cab appear , I'll start to give myself stupid excuse like ..
"Miga is hungry . He's waiting for me to feed him . " (He's always hungry anyway)
"Tomorrow's lesson is 8am" ( So what ? Not as if I sleep early cos' I reach home early)
"I'm very tired" ( Yea right .. Can watch drama till midnight .. )
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME ?
LACK OF SELF-DISCIPLINE ?
I wasn't like this last time . But who to blame ? Definitely not fattie that cabby queen although she's the one whom influence me . But how can I scold her right ? She's been doing this all along , it's my choice to do what I want , what I learn , what I do . Just because I picked up a bad habit , that doesn't mean I can push the blame to others right?
Lack of Self-Discipline .
So I've set new goals for myself ! That includes some random laws I set for myself .
However !! It'll start from August . :x
- No cabbing for more than once a week .
- No fast-food .
- No potato .
- 50 crunches every night .
- U-zap on every Monday and Thursday after tuition
- Start intensive studying with my only lecturer , Mr Cal-cal
- Save $50 per week .
- Try not to find excuses not to go to tuition .
- CANNOT take cab home after tuition .
- One apple a day .
- Hair mask on every Tuesday .
- Facial mask at least once a week .
- Cannot skip lesson , lectures excluded .
- Shower Miga with lots of love ! ( I love miga ! )
Anyway I was on cab just now and I heard a lot of familiar songs . Fattie and Cal , when are we going to party world ? :x
I also heard this song from Fan Wei Qi . I forgot the song name , but there's this sentence .
"One for all , all for one"
"我为人人,人人为我"
And I suddenly remembered my secondary school maths teacher , Mr Choo .
I remembered I once loved maths alot . To the extent of really falling in love . The harder the question , the more I find it challenging . My results for Maths is always an A . Until I reached Sec 3 , when Differentiation and Integration is introduced . What's that ?
Basic formula of Differentiation = Bring down power , reduce power by one .
Basic formula of Integration = Bring up power , increase power by one , divide by new power .
This is still ok , although I'm already struggling .. Then the application part comes in . What the hell ? Why differentiation and integration have ln , log , 10^x ?
From then on , I'll be slacking/sleeping/chit-chatting in maths lesson . I totally don't understand one bit that the alien teacher is teaching , at that time , it's Mr Soong . He's a good teacher , but he just can't make me wanna pay attention to him , listen to whatever he has to say .
And then , my maths results drop . Till a point of .. F9 .
Huh ?
Don't ask me why . I don't know .
Then , on one of a random Monday morning after the flag-raising ceremony , the principal , Ms Cheah , introduced a new staff to our school . When I 1st saw him , I thought he looked like a bulldog .
Cos' his face de skin seems to be sagging . Abit , not alot la ! Think he used to be fat but slim down already , so the skin sag . LOL . But , cute though ;)
HAHAHAHA !!
So , that's the 1st impression . 2nd impression is when he started to talk .
"Thank you Ms Cheah . Hi all ! I'm Mr Choo , and I'm previously from River Valley High , I focus more on maths .. .. .. . .. "
Maths !? Not again ...
And it seems like he's asked to come to teach our class ! I remembered at that time , our class's average score for maths is only 50++ . That is , before he came .
After that is totally different story . People getting Bs start to get As . People failing are passing . Till a point where , there's only As and Bs .
I remembered I wrote a compo about him . Cos' I felt that he totally changed my life , my goal , my mindset . He thought us alot of general knowledge , logics , why this , why that , philosophies . And the one I like most is ,
"One for all , all for one"
"我为人人人人为我"
Our class was once so disobedient , so unreasonable , so immature , and above all , we've totally zero teamwork . So this teacher amend it all .
Because of him , we all did our best .
Because of him , people who hate maths , fell in love with maths .
Because of him , people who broke up with maths , patched back .
Because of him , people who are already in love with maths , continue to get their distinctions .
Because of him , even other subjects that we hate , we did it for him ,
Why am I praising him like he's our god ?
Yes . He is our God . No questions .
During special remedial class he specially make up for us , giving up his precious time which he could have jolly well spent with his family , we learnt so much . It's more than what the school can teach you . Even other classes' students came to our class . No people doesn't love him .
However , he left after we completed our "O" levels . We cried . The God is going back to where he belong . River Valley High Secondary . I've got so much to say about him . But it'll take me days . I thought I shall just share one of my masterpiece .
I said I wrote a compo about him right ? It'll be up in the next post , as I'll need some time to edit . I wrote it in my Chinese exam , and I got the highest in my class , 46 /50. My Chinese teacher even said I can be an author next time .
As it's written in Chinese , I'll need some time to translate it to English . I'll post both the Eng and Chi version . After all , I feel that , the original compo's message is the true one that I wanna share . And not the one that is being directly translated . Totally no feelings attached .
As for the pics for Chalet and Cal , it'll be in the next next post ;)
Akon - Clap again
