respite
after months of gruelling tuition giving,
it has finally come to an end.

you know it when exams are round the corner. my eyes get swollen with sags no concealer can cover, face a picture of distress and utter exhaustion and weight loss/gain (it's difficult to say with my yoyo mass when i get stressed).

and it's not even my exams.

i am very happy with this year's batch of tuition students taking exams because i see many of them putting in effort and lots of heart in their work. maybe because most of them are old enough to worry for their possibly bleak future if they don't do well, i don't even need to nag this time round.

other than some of my secondary school kids like ahem, a certain washingtonDC as i would like to name him thereafter.

i guess other than letting them rest and enjoy their well-deserved holiday for awhile, it is time i get some rest given the amount of hours i had worked the past 2 months. it is not just me who would deserve such a time; i have a feeling my essays and assignments deserve it too. i have neglected them for far.too.long.

thank God for such moments when i can tell my mom, on a cool monday night that, yes mommy, i am coming home for dinner - and let's go repair your specs which i stepped on with my mighty elephant leg like 6 months ago after dinner.

i clearly enjoy my respite.
please, essays and assignments, just be good and get done alright.
