What An Eventful Day

Well today was quite special in a sense that I was both happy, disappointed, surprised and a mixture of many other feelings. So I shall tell you what happened today.

This morning I went to church with my family as usual on every Sunday. Then we went to Bras Basah to send my sister for he Mathematics tuition. My parents, my other sister and I then went to a famous chicken rice stall for lunch. Before long it was time to fetch my sister from the tuition centre.

As we were taking the lift up to level four, my mother decided to sign me up for Mathematics tuition too. I protested violently but to no avail. I was quite disappointed as I do not like the idea of tuition and more homework. As we were making our way to my sister's classroom, we decided to take a peek at the Secondary 2 Mathematics class that my mother had planned to sign me up for.

To our surprise, the teacher was actually my father's ex-lecturer in Hwa Chong Junior College way back in the 1980s. My father was very surprised! As the Secondary 2 class had just ended, my father and his ex-lecturer had a long chat. My father told me that he was a very good teacher and urged me to join his class. Anyway what say did I have to stop my parents from signing me up for tuition? However, according to my father, his ex-lecturer was excellent with Mathematics. He even has a doctorate in Mathematics!

Well... maybe it is not such a bad idea to join his tuition class after all.
