funny thing before my exam today

I was having my lunch before I head to school for a core paper today. I sat down with my food and a few mins later, a lady approach me and ask if she could share the table with me and of course I replied, "Sure!". She saw my notes on the table and ask me if I was a O or A level student, I replied that I am a university student.

Then she started asking me if I teach tuition and I said "Ya I do!"
"Could you come and teach my son?"
"Oh can I have your number? What is your name? Wah, nowadays Iphone ah... very difficult to use..."
"Why not I be your agent? I have many great contacts outside, and I am sure you will earn alot of money, it's a win-win situation for me and you?"
"I used to teach in school but now I teach in tuition centres."
"My son is very busy with A levels? Do you teach Physics and , or have any friends teaching Econs"
"Which JC are you from? Pioneer JC huh? You know this ______, or ________, _______??"
"Oh you did relief teaching, you must be one of the top students there lor?"

Then she met her friend, also another tuition teacher, but luckily the conversation wasn't extended to me. I continued eating my food, but my tooth still hurts a little so I cant eat fast.

"I was teaching at tuition centres. Oh next time you should teach in primary school, then work 5 years come out be tuition teacher. It is very lucrative business, especially parents nowadays..."
"So you can still take one or two more tuition la? I ask and see if my son wants or not.. He is very busy la... "
"Physics is very difficult right?"
But I answer: physics is very common and useful to enter uni, if you go and see the uni admission criteria, physics is one of those subjects that is quite important.

"How about medical school? People will still choose biology wad..."
"No, it is not compulsory, you can still enter with physics. It's Math and Chem and Phy/bio?"
"Oh really? "
"Aiya, don't know what my son wants la, he take all the weird combi.."
"Okay, I contact you again.."

I am like trying to fu yan her most of the time. I don't think I have that kind of calibre yet. And I don't even know her well, and just give me some assignments like that meh? I feel abit overwhelmed?

As soon as I finish my lunch, I scoot off immediately... hahaha, I was thinking if I told my mum this, she will LOL.. Was thinking if I were to be with my mum, I guess no one will come to me?

Gone for my exams, eat and eat and drink as much as possible. Well, all math papers are like that. Come out with the no satisfaction feeling. But only exhaustion and hands from trembling. I guess it is still okay.

I went back and told my mum about it. And she said:
"是不是那个绑丝巾的? "
"没有leh"
“是不是短头发?有笑容的?戴眼镜?”
"ahh....受英文教育的。”
“她叫什么名?”
"M________”

“对了啦!她跟我拜3一起跳舞的上次!最近要教补习所以没有来了。。。”
“huhh... 酱巧的?你认识他啊?”
“认识,做么不认识。。”
The conversation continues.... and the gossip goes on...

LOL!! Singapore is so small lah...
