Movie with Onion
Watched a Korean movie with Onion last weekend. Cyrano Agency: The Dating Guru. It's supposed to be some Korean box office champion right now. But seriously, apart from the eye-candies in the show, this romantic comedy isn't really worth a watch. Onion discouraged me from watching at first since we were already five minutes late when we reached the cinema but I insisted. Simply because I was craving for popcorn and the feeling of being in a theatre.
Although this movie wasn't that good, there is this particular line which I find meaningful and made the effort to remember.
"It is love that makes one trust and not trust that makes one love."
The male lead mentioned this in the show as he lost a girl whom he really loved because he wrongly accused her of infidelity. He actually did that to lessen his guilt of his own act of infidelity. I guessed he did that as he regretted and panicked. It led to him saying this as he couldn't win the girl's heart back again after many years when they met again.
It's pretty true. This magical feeling of love is something that is unexplainable. Only when you love someone enough, you would learn to trust.
Hope you are healthy and happy amidst your busy schedule. XOXO. Can't wait to chill out with you when you are back!

I hated Maths once upon a time
Had a heart-to-heart talk with one of my PSLE darlings today.
She hates Maths. Today, I further confirmed that she really can't take Maths at all. She went to the extent of copying from the answer key, only leaving out some insignificant parts from the answers. I flipped through the pages and saw that most of the questions were right and thought that she might have 'woken up' and decided to put in effort. I only sensed that something was amiss when I realized that I was ticking all the way from the start till the end of the paper. It was a top school paper. It was far beyond her ability even if she had tried her best. I guess, unconsciously I showed my unhappiness. Having been my student for 2 years, she sensed my displeasure. She sheepishly explained that her friend had taught her some of the questions and that friend got 81 for recent exam. At that point of time, I was so angry, I could have flared up anytime.
I wanted to reprimand her straight away but thought that it wasn't fair. I was once a student who didn't like Maths because just couldn't understand it. I carried on with lesson and pretended that I believed her. But I seriously didn't want her to repeat her mistake again. This reflected a problem in her attitude and not her inability to know Maths. I decided to use the soft approach knowing how stubborn and dishonest she can get if I had opened fire at her. Mind you, she is a very prideful young lady. Surprisingly, she kept quiet throughout the time I was lecturing her. I indirectly told her that I knew that she had copied her work and that it isn't a right thing to do. I explained to her as patiently as I could why she shouldn't have done that. From her eyes I could see that she understood and regretted what she had done. This isn't the first time I had done this to her. There was another incident when I lectured her too. She never did made that mistake again. I hope she genuinely realized her mistake this time too and take the right path from now on.
I don't scold students who are slow or less brainy, as I was once like them. I wasn't some EM1 geek once upon a time. I was such a blur queen, my mum didn't expect anything from me. I'm happy that my parents had never once given up on me. I remember their efforts, vaguely. Always encouraging me to do my best even though, thinking back, I didn't really understand what they were saying. I was living in my own world, "dreaming" as my mum puts it.
Because of my own experience, I choose to believe that those who are much slower and less brainier will see light one day. Please do not give up on them. With the right guidance, they will be able to do it! Keep going!

K for Koreans
This is inspired by the K-mums, one of my favourite people on planet Earth.
I went to BP plaza to run errands for one of them this morning. K for Krazy, K for Karing. I'll refer to each of them as Krazy and Karing according to their personalities. Kindly substitute 'C' for the 'K' if you don't get it. I love both their personalities even though they are just so different. One is crazy, impatient and direct, the latter is sensitive, calm and motherly.
We, my sister and I, befriended Krazy and Karing 2 years back. I enjoy their company although we don't really have common topics. We interact like chickens talking to ducks. Most of the time we are misunderstood, 2-way, but I guess we always choose to interpret each other positively so somehow we are able to maintain this relationship. Can you imagine talking to them when they can't even differentiate words like 'January', 'June' and 'July', just because they start with the letter 'J'. O.M.G. Let's not go on about this.
Anyway, Krazy just announced that she will be returning to her homeland next January. Yes! I double and triple confirmed that 'January' means first month of the year. Yes! It's so soon! Good riddance! I'm planning to make a "SoJu" farewell cum oh-finally! card. "So" stands for her younger daughter and "Ju" her elder daughter. It's deliberately in this order as Soju actually means a Korean alcohol that Krazy loves. I secretly feel that her children were named this way simply because she had no idea how to name them. It's possible because she is thatttt crazy.
Krazy is very direct, she asked me this today. "Do you meet your bf every month?" Fyi, i'm in an LDR. He's working hard in Indonesia now. How is it possible that I meet him every month when she knows I have to work too? She doesn't really think before speaking most of the time. Right after I answered, "No, I don't." She teased, "I miss Anton!!" Sick.
Karing is a warm and nice to be with. I love her Korean dishes. I wonder when she'll invite my sis and me for meals again. Korean Curry, Bibimbap, Kimbap, Kimchi Bokeum Bap, Duk Bokkie. Now that Krazy had decided to go back, she's in a dilemma as to whether to stay one more year without her crazy friend who rents an apartment with her. She lacks confidence sometimes. Krazy is the one "advising" her most of the time. Anyway, I hope she makes a good decision. I'll always be happy to provide support as a friend. Happy to have known her. Come to think of it, she's the one who made me realize that having a personality like hers is not wrong after all. I always thought that being inactive is somewhat wrong. But not true. Everyone contribute in their own special ways. :)
The both of them often discourages me from getting married too early whenever I discuss about it thinking that they should understand since they are already mothers. So wrong to discuss it with them, they confuse me. They make the idea of marriage seem so intimidating. Oh ya! They were the ones who taught me how to be vain. Krazy always looks us up and down and gives "professional" comments about our attire or complexion. She has ever commented that my face complexion looked dull and that I should apply sunblock. There was also once I told her I'd be attending a wedding and she impromptu-ly asked me to sit down so that she could apply hot pink nail polish on my toes. She makes no pretense. So genuine.
Ended my day with slurpilicious Slurpee! Cheers! Needed some activity in my system after work! Pop, Pop, poP! Feeling too tired for a short work day like this.
Need more momentum to create the right atmosphere for my darlings. For them, I'll try harder! Tomorrow will be a better day! Fighting!

Digestive system reset
Had an upset body system the entire of last week. Probably was due to the school holidays. All lessons brought forward to day time. I persevered and only cancelled one lesson in the entire week! I worked hard, hopefully.
However, THANKS to my beloved parents, today my system is reset again! vomited all the nonsensical things. yea hey! Went to the park for morning jog with them despite having mountainous, literally, load of work to do. Really was feeling too sick in the tummy to do anything. Good choice! Now I'm a satisfied and happy girl again! Can't wait to see all my darlings later!
Time to get back to work! Seriously, this time it's for real!
