Winter Blossoms
Under a frosty blanket,
Buds are budding
Which will bloom
Into pearly white petals-
That defy the rule of Snow,
Yet add to her beauty.
They are inseparable.
Truly meant to delight the world.
To bless the lucky passer-by
To warm the Soul with a smile.
Even when Winter has passed
And Spring is arrived,
Beauty shines the brightest
In uncertain times.
Life is delicate, handle with love.

Sporty, friendly, passionate
but also
impatient and rude at times
In short, I'm myself-
good. bad and all.

I was DAMN FRUSTRATED today, even teteering near the brink of depression. Suddenly it seems like there are so many things to do, and so many people to please, so many things to study, to sort out in my brain.. IQ.. EQ.. Argh.
All for the simple reason that i have started to give english tuition and conversation lessons to 3 or 4 people a week. It doesnt look like a lot, but the worst thing is preparing the lesson, as each of the peeps has their own needs.. one doesnt like to use the textbook, another one requires scientific articles to analyse (i'll have to go to the library here and use their copy facility to photocopy Newsweek articles). And some of them think that paying me 200 crowns an hour is too much. That's the equevalent to 13.80 SGD. Not too horrible, right???
For a tutor who passed her Certificate in Proficiency in English with an A! CPE happens to be the toughest certificate in english offered worldwide by the British Council. But one snotty middle age lady still thinks 200 KC is too much to pay. Well, i'll have nothing to say to her if she continues like this. rawrr.
Annoying people.
