Its time for my monthly update of this blog. This could probably be the last month that i will get to stay out as my current unit will be undergoing some restructuring. After so many months of staying out, the thoughts of booking out Fridays and booking in on Sundays doesn't seem very appealing to me. But, there is no choice, since I am stucked with the army till next year. Did i mention that i just taken up tuition?
Currently, i am teaching a primary school kid tuition. So, hopefully the restructuring would not affect too much on my schedules. This is the first time i am teaching tuition actually. I find it rather interesting. My student is quite cute, always asking me to read stories for her. Telling me what she does, her dreams and wishes.
It makes me think about my childhood days, where everything is so pure and innocent. I find that kids now are much more fortunate than those of my times. When I was young, I never had tuition and it would be my mum spending time giving me practices and revisions to prepare for my tests and exams. As i grow older, I would spend my own time revising on my subjects. But now, parents would afford getting tuition for kids are very young ages like Primary 1 or even in the kinder garden stage. They are so much more lucky.
Although i am not earning much through this extra job, but it makes my life more meaningful. Its more about achievement and satisfaction. I am happy that she did rather well for her CA1, which i spent some long hours teaching her the subjects. I hope, I can help her do better for her later examinations too!
The past few weeks have been rather packed for me. Besides army, I managed to meet up with my friends. We had a dinner with Jonny before he left for his national service. Though I must say I do not find it a wise decision to spend 3 years of my life to serve my NS. Yet, I respect him for his faith towards his religion. I hope we will meet up again after 3 years and i wish him all the best.
On the coming Monday, I will be going to Tekong again. Its been a long time since i step back to that island. This time, i will be sending 2 guys from my unit for BMT recourse. Reminiscence of my BMTC days..
