i'm shaving my legs right now because i hate the feeling of fresh stubble-- the kind you can't even see but can feel when you subconsciously stroke your legs. i start work again tomorrow, which means hello to 5.30AM mornings and firm handshakes and skirts and heels (and no more clumsy near-accidents on narrow, high staircases, please). two weeks later i'll be working at a hospital (again).
today i taught the boy i tutor history and english. he got 40 marks in his last test-- an improvement from 0, definitely! he's pretty good in the language actually, and he just seems to seriously underperform during exams and under timed, stressful conditions. throughout the lesson i was so afraid i was being boring, and tried (in vain) to inject a bit of humour. after the lesson, his mum gave me an unexpected red packet (i don't want to charge them, really!) and a huge $30 box of handmade pineapple tarts (AWW). she also drove me all the way home, because today i went over to her place instead. i've eaten a third of the tarts so far, and they're divine. i also had 3 yummy little choc au pains, tea, laksa and mee siam... for dinner, and now i'm having more mee siam for supper because i love anything spicy with loads of creamy coconut milk. mmm, i really need to watch my mum and maid make it someday, and learn how to make it :)
