this and next wk is going to be really busy for me and may. what with competitions and hw due and cip stuff and gp essay test. haha but i know i'll live through it. (:

just thought i'd share abt my mentoring exp. it was the first actual mentoring session on thurs and for once when we were early the kids were late. then when they came the boys were exremely noisy and all. but actually they're very willing to learn, though a little slow.

jun yan is very smart and catches things quite fast. alson is patient (esp when i accidentally taught him the wrong thing). i'm also surprised at their tenacity. when i was half dead frm coaching them and asked if they wanted a break, they all said no, please continue. like wow. how many kids wld willingly ask for more tuition and focus? but the bad thing is i don't really know when they understand and when they don't cos when i ask them they say yes, yet i have a sneaking suspicion tt they don't get the big picture.

and although the boys are rowdy they actually know how to zuo4 ren2. we offered to stay back till 7 to finish their ws with them, but they said it's ok you guys go home first quite late alr. (: so sweet.

okay anw i'm quite encouraged by their attitude overall and there's def potential here!
