currently listening to: Lalala Love Song [Long Holiday]
after 6 weeks of struggle (hmm... 6 weeks), i finally got emily off my back!!
this means i shall not be receiving english tuition from her anymore, though i heard that my mother is gonna engage another tuitor for me.
the only regret is probably the fact that she was the one who decided to give me up and not me. this is something like being sacked though you already had the intention to quit but it's just that your boss was much faster in saving what pride he has left. it's ok anyway, everyone in my family knows exactly what happened and they have come to an agreement that it was emily that was being 'hyper' in her decision so let her HAVE her pride.
her reason for quitting was that i have ALWAYS been missing her lessons and she feels that she cannot take it anymore. fact is, i have only missed her lessons TWICE, the first being a mistake plainly due to my absent-mindedness (i did not turn up for tuition because i forgot about it) and the second being the most recent case where she was the one who suggested to stop the tuition permanently after i explained to her that i could not have lessons for that particular day(sigh). so in fact, i have only missed her lessons ONCE, and tried to cancel it for the FIRST time another time and yet she claims blah-ly that i have ALWAYS been missing her lessons. i mean, nobody knows what she's getting at!?
in addition, my brother, a student of hers for 2 years, have been cancelling and missing her lessons for a grand total of almost half a year (separate lessons) and she has yet to complain that she is gonna give my brother up because he has ALWAYS been missing lessons. -_-". did she mixed me up with my brother?? must be aging signs of a spinster....
my conclusion is that she cannot stand my so-called 'tall and mighty' attitude whenever she sees me. this is in addition to the fact that i am abnormally quiet (she doesn't know the real me) during her lessons and this probably created the impression that i was acting cold towards her. on the other hand, i could argue with her if i want to but from previous experienced plus the fact that i have witnessed her flying into a tantrum whenever my brother did that, i was convinced to just sit in my chair and listen to her talk.
so you see, the problem with spinsters is that they are never willing to admit what they like (no?). she LIKES people arguing with her, yet she denies this in front of everybody even though all of us could see her smiling away when her back's turn towards my brother. the reason she flew into terrible tempers was probably, in my opinion, purely due to the that she cannot outtalk my brother in their 'friendly' debates and feels that throwing a tantrum would better help in regaining her supposedly 'i-am-teacher-so-i-am-always-right' image. this, is purely a bad habit of any normal person of the FEMALE species, and especially for an AGED person of the FEMALE species who has yet to MARRY (eg;EMILY).
whatever it is, i am absolutely elated over this piece of news and the thought that i shall not be seeing her again makes me so happy that i even believe I CAN FLY.~ the best thing is, she is still gonna teach my brother so i wouldn't be getting him into trouble. also, after several attempts of dropping hints to my mother of the situation, she managed to get it and accepted it in a peaceful way. in fact, she was the one who delivered me the good news, then asked if i wanna watch SPIDEY later on (heheheh). this means that this problem is officially over and i would have nothing to worry about from now on.
NO TUITION ANYMORE!!!
