Sashiburi desune!

The last update I really did, was CNY. Wow! How long I didn't post anything already? I'm not working today, thus I have some time to post something in my blog... finally!

Finally, I'm able to find a time and do hair trimming and treatment. I took a picture or my 'new' hair. When I want to upload pictures to my pc, then only I realize I have a few events that I have not update yet.

They are here:

January 26

CNY is not over yet. I have pretty CNY cookies. Please don't jelly me. I got to eat this in JJ after my class. :D

February 18

It's a damn cold night~ I'm try to figure out this life~


Yes babe! I went to Avril Lavigne's concert and get this sim card for free! But I also spent RM30 reloading it. Call me ok? The number is up there :D

Nice concert I would say. This is the first time I went to a rock concert and I enjoyed the jumping very much! Avril is really a hot and talented singer. Her vocal is so great!

Just one bad thing about watching rock concert - Please do not be too short. I'm too short that everyone blocks my view of the stage. I was watching the LCD screen throughout the whole concert...

Next time i shall buy VIP seat because I'm short. Call me a spoilt brat! >.<

March 5

Sushi sushi sushi~

Sushi is one of my favourite food. I'm lucky enough to have them with my sister in Sushi Zanmai. She is stressed, so she came to Mid Valley and we had dinner together. The first time we had sushi in Zanmai without caring the budget of what we ate.

Today~

It's a big day! My jiu jiu's wedding registration ceremony~

Congratulations jiu jiu. I will have 2 ang pows next chinese new year!

And since I took one whole day of leave, let's not waste it.

I did a haircut in Mahkota Cheras, Studio 21. Not bad :D RM60 for cut + wash + blow + treatment & serum. Hair look silky smooth after the hairdo. I wish the magic will last until tomorrow T_T

There is a small stupid story about my haircut...

Initially, I wanted to go to Michael Paul opposite Jusco. I drove and pass by a salon called Hairzone, and keep wondering where is the Salon I wanted to go.

In the end I drove to another row of the shop, saw the promotion of hair treatment. I stopped the car and walk-in. Nobody inside. Great! No wasting time and I will have my haircut here!

While washing my hair, I talked to the salon girl. "Is it very hard to survive with salon here? So many salons here". She said still ok, since she has regular customers already.

"Actually I wanted to go Michael Paul today, but I saw your shop has promotion today so I stopped by. I only saw Hairzone on the other side."

"Hairzone is Michael Paul, no meh?"

I fish. Big fail. I just passed by the shop and then I was still seeking it...

Anyway, I'm satisfy with the service this salon gave me. Fast and nice. Worth the money. I will have my hairdo again here :)

And I went to my new vocal lesson in Music Master.

I saw so many ukulele's on the wall. I wanted to learn a portable instrument for a long time already. So I asked about the ukuleles, and the price.

He showed me an ukulele on the other side of the shop. The one showed me is the third picture.

I get the guy to send me the pictures of the other ukuleles other than the one I saw.

I like the third monkey! I tried with the sound and it's so bright and clear. RM250 for student in MM. Should I go for it? I love it so much!

Then I went home and had my dinner.

My sister say something to me like this:

Sis: Today You don't look like a dead fish.

Me: Do I always look like a dead fish when I come back from work?

Sis: Yes.

Now I'm happy that I no need to work today :) Should get more of these days as much as possible.

Do you know when is your parent's wedding anniversary?

The first time I knew about my parent's anniversary, was back in year 2008. I was 18. Wow! Slowpoke!

And this year, is my parent's 25th wedding anniversary. In Chinese, we called it Silver Wedding. It is not easy for a couple to go through a 25 years of anniversary. My dad wanted to buy a gift for my mom.

Something that could last long, and my mother would love it.

LV bag. :)

My mom was so happy and she couldn't sleep all night!

I treat my family a nice dinner in Chinese restaurant, and put on 2kgs again. :P

Happy Wedding Anniversary, my beloved Dad and Mum :)

A spoilt brat

I always want money. What can I do to make more money? Tuition.

And so Last Wednesday 1st of Feb was my first day conducting a private tuition. The tuition case was agreed around one month ago. We both agree to start after CNY.

My experience:

The tuition supposed to start on 7.30pm. I reached there 7.32pm (including parking) like that. But when I stepped into the house, there was only maid. No student, no parents.

The maid asked me to wait and served me with a cup of water. So I waited patiently in the living room.

15 minutes later, the parent came back with the elder son. The first thing the elder son came into the house was, scolding the maid. "You tak tau panggil itu Mei Ling bangun kah? You banyak pandai!" and he kept scolding the maid for not waking up the sister for tuition, while walking upstairs to wake his sister up.

There were very limited parking at that area too. He asked me to park my car into the house. And he also kept scolding the maid for not letting me parking the car into the house. 

Here came the mom, same thing happen. The mom kept scolding the maid "Siapa mau tuition? Awak ingat saya mau tuition? Tengok cikgu sudah tunggy lama sini?..." Wow! She didn't even look at me but kept scolding the maid.

My student finally woke up and I went upstairs to let her set up the tables and chairs and everything. The first thing for the tuition was of course, asking the student's results to see where her standard is. 1A, 2B, and all other nearly fail subjects...

Right, after noting down her curriculum and results, she then showed me her homework for that day. Asked me how to do it. After a while, she said she want to go toilet. I waited for 10 minutes for her toilet break.

So when she came back, she sat down, took out her bag, took out two books, and start COPYING her homework. I asked her, what was that. And she dare to tell me proudly that she's copying her homework. FINE. That homework was supposed to be passed up 2 days ago, and then now only she started to COPY the work. Wow! Alright then, since I have nothing to do, I asked for her house wifi password and start surfing on my phone, waiting patiently for her to copy her homework. After 10 mins, she took out another homework and started to COPY again. I raged.

"Your mom pay me money not to let me sit here and see you COPY your homework. This session is supposed to be asking me questions." She is scared, and straight away showed TULAN face. She kept her work, and then I asked her to take out her homework and asked me question. There was a homework about finding infos on internet. So I discuss some points with her and asked her to note down. She is TULAN all the way.

I asked here where are her books. They have lockers in their schools and could keep their books there. So she didn't have her books with her. I told her fort he next tuition visit, I want her to bring back the books that I will be teaching for that particular day.

Then I taught her some maths and asked her to do. Still gave me TULAN FACE all along.

9pm.. Time for me to leave.

Going downstairs, I told her mom about the books problem. Her mom said the school somehow 'forbids' them to bring books back. So I told her to buy books for all the tuition sessions. She agreed and I could buy for her. I also told her that the daughter is not very keen in the tuition and her studies. Her mom told me that she has NEVER worried about the daughter's studies. She was doing good. In my heart I was like: OMG? Nearly fail, and you never worried?

The next day, the tuition agency called me and asked me what happen. She said the parent is complaining and want me to stop immediately. Why? Because I asked her daughter about the books? Never taught her daughter the computer homework (as if she asked)? And did my own thing during the tuition? (Yeah, who is the one COPYING homework).

I know I'm lansi, but I told the agency, students with attitude, I would rather NOT TAKE. She said she will try to fight back the tuition fees for the first time. I say no need. I TULAN already.

My sister was right. I have no experience in teaching, and I'm really not suitable in teaching.

But will this stop me from my dream of opening in school? Yes, this has become one small setback in my dream path, I step a little backwards. But this is also a good experience. This has taught me that I have not prepared for this yet. I shall learn more.

My CNY Updates

I celebrate two new years: 1st Jan of every year that follows the Calendar, and the 1st Jan of every year that follows Lunar Calendar.

Oh Yeah baby it's Chinese New Year!!!! No other days are better than Chinese new year because you get to eat many things you don't eat often, visit people that you don't visit often, and gamble like no tomorrow!

Today is the 10th day of CNY. Let me review what I have done for my CNY ^^

My Leaves
I have 4 days of new year eve! Why? Because I took leave two days before weekends. And why again? Because I need to start working on the third day of CNY. Not enough, I took another two days leave on Monday and Tuesday because I'm mad that my leaves on CNY were not approved.

New Year Clothes
I went Pavillion with my mom and dad and bro to buy new year clothes on Sunday. It's chinese tradition to buy new clothing for new year to represent we turn over a new leaf, have new hopes and new resolution in new year! RM500++ for my clothing. I love you mummy and daddy! My bro was in such a good mood that day because he gets to see Jay Chou!

My sister saw me bought a lot of new clothes and she jelly. So we went on Friday (or Thursday I forgot) to buy new year clothes. She bought even more, RM700++. Now I jelly :P

Same day we went to buy new year clothes for bro. He don't like nice clothes, he only like MU clothes. So we went Nike and bought the most expensive MU shirt. Damn he was so happy!

My dad jelly now. He doesn't have any new clothes for CNY. On eve itself, my sis accompany dad to Body Glove to buy clothes. My dad loves Body Glove because the pants can last long, but not the t-shirts. However, my dad bought two shirts from there. Not enough, he is still jelly. We went again to Pavillion on the 2nd day of CNY to shop even more clothes for my dad. Finally, he is satisfied.

The Lanterns
Three years ago I think, my mom started to like shopping lanterns for CNY. She wants to put lanterns in front of the porch and put for one whole year. We moved house, used to use the previous owner's lanterns. They are old. So my mom and dad went to Petaling Street to buy the two big lanterns. This time no more fancy flowers around the lanterns, just two big red lanterns. I like the simplicity of them ^^

My Ang Pows
When we were young, we will hand in our ang pows to our mom every time we get ang pows. But since a few years ago, we started to get rebellious and wanted to keep our own ang pows. Hohoho. Of course this is not permitted. Sad case. Mom will still keep our ang pows!

Usually after we get our ang pow, we will keep them until the 15th day of CNY, then we will open and see the amount inside, count them together and put them into bank. This year, mood spoilt :( only on 3rd day, all the ang pow money are already in bank. You spoil CNY mood lah mom!

Gamble
Chinese people loves to gamble during CNY. This tradition in my family (my mom side) only starts few years ago. My family usually hates gambling. I'm not sure how we started it. We play black jack (or we call ONE LUP). We play small, only RM1. We don't gamble for the money, we gamble for the fun of it, and we only gamble when my god mom came back from Singapore :)

I have to work on the third day of CNY. My boss is considerate enough to let me work from home. But guess what... my aunts brought the gamble table and put in front of my study room! "Come come gamble gamble~~~", they lured me. In the end I give in and gamble during my lunch break. Hohoho I won RM5 :D

During new year eve, my parents went back to KL while we were in our hometown. Out of boredom, we went to the nearest shop to buy poker cards and millionaire. Ahhh.. it's such a nostalgic moment when we saw our childhood stuffs.

We played poker with our cousin brother because we heard he is good at it when he stayed in hostel last time. We don't play with money, we played with Bananas! The rule is, whoever lost in the game, will have to eat one banana! Guess what? Because my sister don't want to be the last person and the loser, she simply play with the cards. My cousin has no choice but to break his nice cards and lose most of the games.

And guess who is the loser?.... It's me T_T The one who ate most of the bananas has to eat the last banana, and another mandarin orange. I have an ulcer in my mouth... and I chose the most sour mandarin orange from the basket T_T

I'm a bit long winded because I'm excited with new year. This is what we did for CNY. I play hard, work hard, gamble hard and shop hard!

I thought I wouldn't like CNY before eve. I started to like it during eve, and LOVE it when it's the first day!!!

Things that we haven't done for new year: Sing K! Lai lai lai saudara saudari kakak abang adik, mari sing k!

And this year my new year resolution: Treat my family a good meal, and able to give my parents extra money during next CNY.

Target money for the first year. More to come :)
