Sundays.

Haha, sorry once again, I fail to keep ya'll updated. Mainly because I didn't have shit to talk about. Besides somethings that happened in class. But ya'll don't really wanna hear that eh? Just some humorous chat between our form teacher Mr. Mohammed ( Coolest Science teacher I've had this far. ) and Bing Cheng ( Super Cool China Foreigner! ) And Danial.

Catch word was Pentalk because Bing Cheng kept complaining about losing his pens on Friday lol.

So anyways, spent my whole day slacking my ass off on Saturday. It sucks to just hug the PC. So unfufilling. Urgh.

So, today, sunday, Great day. Well, followed my mum to Holy Family for the 11:15 mass. I wonder why I even go to church. Probably just for friends and to please my own mum. Well, after that, we ate at Ajisen Ramen again! I ordered Nankotsu Ramen which I found out was pork. Gosh, that pork was so soft, and it was bursting with flavours. Literally. You have got to try it if you ever go to Ajisen Ramen. Its a must. My mum got the spicy beef as for side dishes we got the new white fish and the prawns in mayo. Both were great, be sure to dip the fish in your sauces first. BTW, the Ice Lemon tea there ROCKS. Literally. Abit sweet but still it rocks in my opinion.

After that, we went shopping! I got a new bag from OP. Its checkered with Orange and Black squares and says " REGRETS IVE HAD A FEW BUT THEN AGAIN TOO FEW TO MENTION" So my mum says its the lyrics of some song but it goes well with my motto in life which is to live life without regrets. Who wants to go old and say ohhhhhh, I wish I did that. Pisses me off when that happens to meh. It bites alot.

Also got two shirts from OP. It was 2 for $26 which was a huge bargain. Wheeeeee. Went to Isetan and got another two tee shirts and two pants. The first shirt cost my mum $19.90 and the other $39.90 and the pants was $39.90 as well and some $9.90 pants which I plan to use for PE. Lol. Sick of those madly small pants. Ugly things.

So hugeeeee day of splurging on my mums cash lol. But I'm a happy guy anyways. Some might say spoilt but whatever. Im quite sure you've had your time splurging as well. No holier then thou shit here kkthx. =)

On my way back, I talked to my mum about tutors she told me she told her students to drop their tutors her reason, if you can't study on your own, your obviously not fit for university. So why even get them in the first place. Hate to say it but heck my mum pwns. In the sense that she trusts me to go out on my own. Have my own limits. Freedom is great. Teens need it. Parents that hold their children back from their limits obviously get rebellious teens. Some might argue, its to prevent them from doing stupid things. Here the bigger question, do you know what their really doing? If yes, ask yourself, Did you raise them right to keep them from doing stupid things? To think logically? Or were you just barking at them constantly?

Some parents even give their children tutors even thought they do fairly well enough. Heck, some students that go to normal get tuition as well. What the hell for? To study more? Don't we study enough in school? Lets see, according to my time table.

8 - 1.25 = 4 hours 55 minutes
8 - 1.55 = 5 hours 25 minutes x 3 16 hours 15 minutes
8 - 12.25 = 4 hours 25 minutes

Total per week = 14 hours and 45 minutes

So lets see. 52 weeks in a year. 52 minus the public holidays which is 11 days. So you get. 49 and 4 days of school - School Holidays which is 7 + 7 + 24 +36 = 74. 49 x 2 = 98

365 - 11 - 74 - 98 = 182 days x 885 ( 14 hours and 45 minutes ) / 60 = 2684 hours and 30 minutes studying in school.

And thats just my school. Other schools have even longer school times. Oh and I'm only sec 2 so imagine a sec 3 student in some other school.

That is if we have perfect attendance. Hehe. But still thats a whole lot of time eh. Having a tutor only adds at least 200 hours more? And thats just one tutor imagine having one for every subject 200 x 7 at sec 2 = 1400 hours more. Now, I don't think a teen really wants to spend so much time on studying.

Save yourself the money. If you can't study on your own what makes you think a tutor will save you that much? Tutors also get more expansive as they teach higher levels. Tutors are overrated period. I rather learn from friends. To be honest I learned much of my things from school , games and hobbies.

Most games taught me english. Better then any teacher so far.

Role play molded my english.

School taught me other subjects.

Oh and did I mention, games are only a one time pay thing. Alot cheaper then tuition teachers. Be sure to get games with alot of talking, and a detailed story line.

So where was I. Oh yes, give your teens their FREEDOM. I'm quite sure you never enjoyed being kept away from supper with friends, outings, parties and such. Sucks doesn't it now that you think about it. Now think about your children. You think they enjoy it?

Aight, gonna take a shower and head for dream land. I sense many dreams awaiting me. Heh, they fuel my thoughts mostly.
