This is so humiliating...argh. Today me and Ling went to meet maths tutor no. 2. I mean, after meeting the first one (who was so-so and really NOTHING special), I was feeling kinda fed up with all the tutors in the world. That's my reason for being VERY mean to tutor 2 over the phone. So today, we met before heading off to Clementi to meet the new guy. Oh man oh man, so embarrassing!! Especially after the way i treated him!!
When we finally found him in the crowd, i went "Woah" inwardly. He was COMPLETELY different frm what i imagined him to be..in Ling's words, he was HIP. I mean, he looked GOOD, really! Not the regular no-"class" kinda tutors...he had style!! Then the next surprise came. We took a bus to get to his home and we went past this road with the name "Ulu Pandan". The name jolted a memory abt a certain wealthy district but as i didn't think a tuition teacher wld live in such a place, i sorta dismissed the thought and told myself i got the name wrong...like Pandan Road or smth. THEN, i saw "Sixth Avenue". WTH lah. No mistake abt being in the rich district now.
So, got into his BIG BEAUTIFUL MANSION, complete with staircase, dogs, 3(or was it 4) maids, tons of classy furniture and sat down to begin lessons. HOW THE HELL DID HE EXPECT ME TO CONCENTRATE??? I was just gaping at the place and at his foolscap paper that said RJC. Oh gosh, every question we threw at him, he answered brilliantly. He was patient and enthusiastic abt the lessons, and he was even willing to give us the 1st lesson for free. I mean, are you getting my point here?? A good-looker with brains and brawn (still in NS), loaded with cash yet willing to work, patient and kind, ect ect...isn't that a complete fulfilment of everything on a girl's checklist? And he was still so nice after my being mean to him, damn damn damn. Gosh, i'll be a LOT nicer next time.
Yesterday, went out with Gel and Wai as a farewell outing before Gel goes off to NZ. I wanted to watch a horror movie but in the end (to Wai's delight) we decided on the cartoon, Madagascar. Bloody hell, the cinema was FULL of kids and we felt so childish just being there. Anyway, the show pretty much sucked and we were groaning abt how awful it was. I kinda liked this catchy tune that the racoon-things were singing tho:"I like to move it move it.." haha. Yeah and the weird thing was, there was this strange man sitting beside me during the show who kept putting his hand over the arm-rest till it was touching my bag on my lap. I got really irritated with that. After the movie ended, we didn't leave and when the next batch of movie-go-ers came in, we thought we'd blend in and watch the next show for free. Unfortunately it was the same stupid show and we din noe how to get out in the middle of it, so we just sat there for a while feeling stupid. Then this guy sat down beside Wai and started laffing at the movie-- Guess who it was. The same freak that sat beside me in the previous round. So he was laffing at the same things!! How weird is that. Must be a perv. Had a good laff tho and it was fun catching up with them...and as expected Shir didn't turn up. AGAIN.
