Oh F(ish), i injured my finger yesterday during basketball. Swollen. And numb.
====================================================
So, today concludes the end of my greenridge buddy tutoring project'08. Having thoughts about continuing it next year.
(my finger typing damn pain!)
But its pretty screwed up today. I planned for so many things today. Basketball, chapteh, games like murderer, crapping.
Basketball court full.
Left chapteh at home.
Teacher say must at least teach something.
Ha, so really badly done.

But i must still thank all those who have came down to help me. Cant really seem to contact Brendon this few days, but Jinhao came for 1.5 session(s). So thanks anyway. Xinyu came for, well, 3 sessions? Oh well, but really great thanks to you too. The students, boys and girls, listened to you a lot.
Thanks to Jiahao, Jesslyn and, of course, my sis for joining this project. Without your support, there is no way i going to continue this.

Still remember how i started this project. Last year, its supposed to be Jinhao, Jehon, Jingying and myself. Jingying, saying that she not free, pulled out after we started planning. Well, at that time im really pissed about that, thinking back. Then the 3 of us continued until end of year. The students did quite ok, from what i think. Still keep in contact with some of them.

Then, in Beijing last year, i asked Jingying again if she is interested. She said yes. I asked Jehon and Jinhao if they are interested. They said yes. Then i contacted GRPS. Guess what? Jehon said he have training. Jingying said library service. Jinhao said tuition. Now left with me alone. Luckily my sis, her friend and Jiahao joined me, so that i have something to account to GRPS.

Jinhao helped me by coming down for some sessions when i cannot handle. During the early stages, i was really despaired, at why people, after agreeing, still pulled out. But, i realised that this is not what i can really control. Last term, i was almost going to pull out due to my extremely bad results. But i felt responsible for these students. And so i continued. I guessed, they never started, so they never felt responsible. So, its not their fault at all. Its me. I should have arranged properly. I believe in verbal consent and pure trust.

So, with all these troubles, the project started on rocks. Coming down now into the deep oceans.
