Yup, so had my 18th birthday today. Well, it wasn’t without rewards. Nah, I’m not talking about those gifts and presents. Had free maths tuition from my friend. Hahas, best form of a birthday present for a JC student whose really really poor with Maths.
Been contemplating getting Kee Wei to coach me in Maths for some time before today. Finally decided that I’d rather not disturb him in his revision for the MYE’s so smsed him to call off our scheduled maths tutoring session. However, he replied saying that he needed to be in school to study anyways due to distractions at home and so I agreed to accompany him in school. An opportunity to get some Maths questions clarified too.
Got to school early at about 9am and he was already there. Studied until about 1pm before we headed down to a nearby hawker centre for lunch. Never been there before and never knew there was such a place there all the way behind several blocks of flats. Usually ate with friends in the one further out near the main road. Quite a coincidence, just after we found a table and sat down, the hawker centre received a power cut. Just our luck! Had we just ordered our food immediately upon arriving, we would be enjoying our lunch now. So we just sat and waited for the stall holders to get the power back up and running.
To our surprise, the stall holders also had that thought in mind. Yes, they just sat down like us and waited! No one was going around to check the cause of the power down. After waiting some time with no luck, we got up and left for another hawker centre.
A few steps out of the hawker centre and power returned to the hawker centre. Lols!
So we went back and had our lunch there. After which, we returned to school to continue with our Maths revision and finally left school at 5pm.
Well, although not much Maths revision done, at least had some doubts clarified and completed some questions from the revision papers we were given. Most importantly, I managed to be motivated to study by understanding rather than just memorising the content which is what I usually do. After spending a day chatting with him, really saw how much just taking some time to understand the content can help. Going to do the same for my other subjects if there’s time left to. Otherwise, can only study that way throughout Term 3 in preparation for Prelims.
Therefore, not a wasted day at all. Going to study with him some more hopefully before MYE’s!
Interesting way to spend my birthday eh?
