ive been superbly impatient of late...
and i dont know why...
it's killing me coz i'm being mean to everyone...
and i know it's horrible...
am trying to cut back and take things slower...
but it's mad when nobody wants to listen...

teaching my Cambodian kids have been real fun...
each one has a different character and they really make my evenings...
even though the journey there and back is horribly long...
the youngest one is damn cute...
he looks like the guy's HKG nephew whom i never met...
but have been gushing endlessly over his photo...
the second one is a chubby little kid...
not as cute...
but has a great sense of humour and a penchant for adding laughter to the lessons...
the eldest is like the mother to all of them...
helping me shush them if need be...
and really willing to learn and master the maths i'm teaching...
we even got to speaking Thai phrases in our class...
coz they been there pretty much as well...

i bought new equipment...
not exactly new...
but in really good condition coz the previous owner is going overseas...
1 board and 3 sails for $400...
when these things usually sell for thousands of dollars...
i think i struck gold...
mr Tan helped me set up the smallest sail...
the 7.5m...
and i cant wait to take it to the water...
it's a nice red colour and really looks brand new...
couldnt even tell it has been repanelled...
i have been threatening the guy with the 8.4m...
coz he really wants something that size...
and his birthday is coming soon...
so he better treat me nice...

havent been feeling very good of late...
dizzy spells...
the almost-blackouts...
headaches...
rashes from the seawater...
it's been mad...
was telling the guy...
no one would know if i fainted in my room in PGP...
life is that miserable...
dont know whats wrong...
coz i'm been watching what i eat...
meaning i dont skip meals and i eat a balanced diet...
and i've been sleeping quite alot...
oh well...
just hope its nothing major...

and i think i'm in the wrong faculty...
i really dont belong in engineering.
argh.
