He is sooooooooooo testing my patience!

To understand my FRUSTRATION, solid examples are probably the most direct way.
These are not the entire questions, but a SMALL part of the whole part of question that he needs to answer.

Q1) 9-3y=2x, If x=0, Find y.
Him: 2 times 0 is 2 ar?-_-"

Q2) 36/4=?
Him: *thinking hard*

Q3) 3-(-3)=?
Him: 0

Q4) 18=27A
Him: *asking me back* Actually how to know which one must divide which one ar? Why sometimes is 18 divide 27, sometimes 27 divide 18?

Q5) -1/1=?
Him: *thinking, then use calculator*

Q6) 0-x=?
Him: Err....stil can simplify meh?

Q7)What is the mid point of 2.5-3.0?
Him: *writes out*
2.5 3.0
2.6 2.9
2.7 2.8
Err, then cannot d wor.

Me: What is arc?
Him: Errr...

Me: What is circle?
Him: Errr...

Hypothenus? Square root? Circumference? Sin, cos, tan? and a whole lot more...
Him: Dunno

Me: What is the meaning of 'x is proportional to cube of y?'
Him: Errr....
Me: What is proportional and what is the meaning of cube?
Him: Preo..po...tat one i duno.. Cube is...*draws out a shape cube*

And the one i would vote 'ANSWER OF THE DAY'
Q: Where is ur form 4 maths book?
A: Don' have wor.
Q: Do u know u wil b tested for form 4 maths also?
A: Is it?*dengan penuh chill*


Sometimes i find it funny but sometimes i find it really annoying.

N the worst part is i have to explain the same thing OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!

I explained to him FOUR TIMES in four consecutive days that when they ask for equation, means they want it in the form 'y=mx+c'. Also explained what is y, m, x and c.
Yet today when the question ask for an equation, he ask me how to do. And when i asked him what is equation. He said 'means just find y ar?'
ARGHHHH!!!

Why is there such a human being in this world?? Previously, i didn't particularly liked teaching a std 2 student maths cuz i didn't know how to explain why is 3x9=27 things like that. But i didn't feel frustrated at all when she didn't understand cuz she was in std 2.

But now?? FORM 5!! SPM MATHS IN 3 DAYS!!

I ASSUME I passed

Today is the supposed D-day for all my coursemates. Results were out at 4pm, but yea, i forgot bout it, AGAIN. Only to remember around 5sth when i went online and frens's pm were mostly 'i passed!'

I hastily checked my e-mail. NOTHING.

Then i went to ictservices website, could log in the netstorage that we use to download lecture slides, but couldn't enter netmail to check results although i used the same password. WHY??

I tried many many many times, using current n other passwords i thought i might have forgotten, but to no avail.

I then tried the imu website and tried to log in like a trillion times under 'Exam Results'. All i got was
'INVALID LOGIN DETECTED'

Some frens suggested clicking the 'forgot password' button. Did so. Had to key in my email. Tried all four e-mails that i have.
'INVALID REQUEST FOR PASSWORD DETECTED'

Chin yeong told me the email needed is some email they gave us in sem 1.
wtf!! I don't rmbr liao la!
I asked many ppl n many ppl tried helping me...but still...NOTHING..
So yea, i finally gave up, and decided to go for a walk with my parents.

Conclusion: I ASSUME THAT I PASSED cuz imu din call me for resit.

My sitiawan nightmare begins..AGAIN!!

Two years ago, my neighbour asked me to her son maths tuition for pmr. I agreed. N it was the worst tuition experience i ever had. This guy drove me nuts with his maths calculation. I had a real tough time teaching him. But looking back, i already had...seven tuition students, ranging from STD 1 to FORM 6!*proud-ness*

Anyhow, ystd when he and his dad came over, my immediate response seeing them at the gate was...'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!'

His dad was sooooo pushy and assertive i had a tough time trying to say no.

Worse, he said, 'Oh, u give him tuition every day. Morning, noon and night. Many many hours each time. His spm start next week, he needs intensive tuition, cover the whole syllabus for him.'

I was like......it's my hols mister. I need time for myself for goodness sake! And you think i can do magic or sth? (He failed his maths both this n last year, AND previous years, except the actual pmr exam)

But well, i didn't want to be rude, and my dad was beside me..so i just FORCEFULLY smiled and said that i have assignments to do, the max i can do is give him tuition once daily.

I CANT STAND THIS GUY!!!

‘Popiah’ in the making

This noon me n mum made popiah to bring to subang for my sis n bro.. This is the first time i was actually involved from the beginning til the very end of the process. Errr, well, usually i'll disappear half way and appear later on.=P

I shall blog on the popiah-making process as it is highly probable that i will forget the ingredients later on. Pai seh to keep asking mum.=P

Firstly, pics of all the ingredients.=)

Clockwise from top-left: Minced meat + corn flour, eggs, tau kua, bean sprout

Clockwise from top-left: Shredded sengkuang + carrot, diced garlic, smashed dried prawns using MORTAR AND PESTLE =D, fried egg cut into slices

Left: Vege which i don't rmbr the name-_-" Right: Popiah kulit

The process is basically after frying the garlic and dried prawns, throw everything in one by one and add oyster sauce, salt and everything nice..ehehehe..

When done, wrap the ingredients using the popiah skin and vege, n rmbr to add some kampung koh chilli sauce! ESSENTIAL!!

And tadaaaa! Completed popiah!^^

Obviously there are more la..but these three are for ilustration purposes, n i wrapped them! It's edible by the way!!
