Had a rather enjoyable weekend this week! =) The camp turned out successfully n boy, I am now sunburnt, as red as lobster! muahahas. Thur-Fri day camp was at PingYi Sec Sch in Bedok. Rather ulu place, cos 3 of the cabs i got into didn't noe how to go there. lol. one of them even tried to bring me ther using his GPS budden in the end only resulted in a total waste of my time. wad the bleah-

anyways, was in charge of a bunch of sec 3 students. rather crude in their language, bt overall still obedient. erms. i mean, at least they were able to take instructions fr me. hahas. was told to take up another upcoming assignments coming wed-fri (stay in camp at Jalan Bahtera MOE Adventure campsite). Was interested n kinda pressurised to take up at first, bt aft thinking it thru, i think i shud gif it a miss. For those wondering, well. being a camp instructor is NEVER about the pay, bcos the job dusen pay well. Long hours (esp for stay in camps), lots of shouting n having to be really responsible for the students (and of cos those monkeys who love to be smart alecks, trying to disobey u in every way) & LACK OF SLP. All the effort far exceeds the amount of monetary benefits awarded to u as an instructor. the bottom line is, you really have got to haf passion for this job.

For me, bcos i've 3 tuition classes nw, I actually can't afford to go for such camp assignments too regularly, cos that would mean like only 1 lesson per week for them? Which means they can't rmb whatever i taught them the previous lesson, unless they haf super memory. hahahahahas.
So, after discussing wif kareen n weighing the opportunity costs, I decided to skip the camp & concentrate on tutoring & slacking ard at home b4 semester in Uni starts. =) Yups. Furthermore, there are like so many other camps that I will be going for: Nanyang Business School (NBS) Freshmen Orientation Camp, Student Union Camp, & Halls of Residence Orientation Camp as well. Starting from 16 July, I'll be away for camps, more camps & even more camps. hahhahs. Talking abt NS. (BMT? Lol.)

And ya, Sat was spent at Marina area. Watched NDP Combined Rehearsal with KF, tickets compliments of Raymond & Ting Ting. Gave 4 tickets to uncle fredd & family. A lot of crap happened on that day & spoilt my mood, bt i was fine after a while. Mood swings. Haiz. Terrible hormones raging again.

Was disappointed bcos my fren had actually told me dat there'll b fireworks. Budden turned out otherwise. Argh! sad ya. but. well, can always catch it other times =) no prob. hahas.
*Raymond, it's really ok. Don't feel bad. =P

After NDP, KF & I went over to Marina Sq to collect tickets for the movie Transformer that we'll be catching with Kareen & Jay. Muahahas. Kareen arrived like a cute school gurl, while we met Jay in his sandals. haha. no offence or wadsoever, bt i thot he looked kinda ... (speechless). hahas.

Kareen actually wanted to go Phuture after supper aft the movie. Budden in the end, we decided to head home. hahas. partly cos i haf tuition today (Sunday) & had to leave early even if we went down to Phu. Considering that it was already ard 2 plus then, we decided that we wun enjoy much/long even if we got down, so we gave it a miss n took a cab home.

Overall, enjoyable & refreshing weekend. Not the usual clubbing stuffs, n having to drag my body up aft clubbing to watch Doraemon, I thought this kind of lifestyle was not bad? =P

Jerica's the kind of gurl who needs changes every now n then. Strict regime or dull routine is never for me; I need changes to inject life in me. Blah!

Blog again soon! =P
