Aiyak! My handphone sudah rosak,broken, cannot hear clearly the caller's voice without the hands-free device. Lucky I'm not the kind of person who can't survive without a handphone.
This Sunday I'm gonna start my very own tkd class...phew, finally! But I was almost demotivated by the lack of reponses from people in my area. I got only two calls saying they're interested to send their kids to my class (NOTE: Parents yang interested ok, the kids I don't know. It will be a tough job if they hate it and the parents force them...mmm...) after a month of promoting it, my fault!Not very good at promoting :P. I was so upset that I thought I should just call off the class. But I can't do that, my instructor had reminded me months ago that I should continue teaching even if there's only one student in my class, it is a commitment! And that is the thing that makes us different from other people. Our willingness to put in our best effort once we've agreed to a commitment. That came from a lady who has a not so fantastic formal educational background, and that's the reason I look up to her. This morning, a lady called my hp on my way to the exam hall, I was quite delighted because she said she wanted to register her son in my class - even though I can't hear her voice clearly I agak2 ajelah. (again, parents' enthusiasm hehehe-but without parents, children sometimes lack the capability to make decisions and to shoulder responsibilities rite?!). Now, I feel great and can't wait to meet my "disciples" this Sunday hehehe. Masterji ready he!
Erk...I still have three papers to go...thursday-saturday! I'm preparing my mind and body to stay up for another three nights. And after that, I can sleep the whole day! Those are the consequences that you have to bear once you've trained yourself to study last-minute la! It's also a commitment hahaha!
Talking about last minute studying, I don't really think it's a problem for me. My learning style is to pay full attention in class, get as much information there, go back, discuss it with my family over lunch/dinner, and when there's an exam I'll revise one day before it.(my family very sporting one lor! We could talk about everything and everybody will have a say on it!Except that we're the expressionless seven lords-our emotions are utterly invinsible especially to outsiders). So, if you feel like studying last minute, pay full attention to lecture during class and equip yourself with good memory, add a bit of reading and discussion, and then tada! you've qualified to be last-minute dude like me :)
I'd better stop now...getting sleepy...

-The Madam once told me (quoting from her mail) "Writing is not just sitting down and writing your dreams. You have to work at it." I wrote this down in my organizer so that I won't be a "dreamy Alia"
