wow.. it was such an experience for me last night. i remember being quite stunned when i saw the altar outside the house.. the family is staunched buddhists, i guess. very surprised to see SO many people in the house too.. what a huge family.. the mother wasn't at home at that time so i was rather relieved.. haha.. heard from the student that her mother is quite fierce.. lol that's the only thing i'm worried about. but other than that, everything worked out fine, i suppose. =) the student, kai ting, likes me alot.. in fact, she kept asking me to come 10 times a week to teach her! hahas.. pri 1 girls are like that, i guess. such a pleasant girl.. adorable too! i guess i'm beginning to like teaching. it gives me the satisfaction that i've always wanted.. but of course, i'll have to wait for results.. teaching is just like sowing seeds.. it's the same logic. when u finally waited out the harvest, and when the harvest is bountiful, u reap what u sow and that's happiness! =) what a beautiful job!
