perhaps it's the weather, perhaps it's my cozy bed, perhaps it's my mood... whatever it is, i have been having good sleep every night and waking up early in the morning at around 8+..
and so for the past few days, i tried to fill my days with tasks to do..
read sat papers
on sun morning n found an adv for music teacher in Balestier. I got shocked and stared at it. after i am sure that it reads balestier, immediately i dialed the number and heard a man's voice. introduce myself, gave my details, asked some qns, and when i found out that it's at shaw plaza, a 5min walk away from my house, i was delighted. told the man that i live very near to shaw plaza. he said he shld call me back within 2 days.
hours later in the evening.. he called!!!! arranged for an interview the next day (mon 5pm)
mon, i started the day with food and papers. proceeded to running errand for paul, called the bank for him.. id my time-table for this sem on excel, soon geraldine came online, we chatted nonsense before she left for school for lesson.
supposedly i have a lecture today BUT i skipped it bcos firstly of the interview and secondly the journey will take 3hrs and the class is only 2hrs, i see no point in wasting my time to go for the first intro lecture. anyway help her do her tiny time-table for her diary. used a precious paper to print her time-table. BUT wasted a piece of my precious music paper i bought from japan due to measurement error. luckily, the 2nd piece came out prefect. i'm delighted. can't print mine yet, cos i am waiting for the interview's outcome and if successful, future music lessons have to be confirmed. did jan schedule for ethan. pack my clothes, refold my blouses from my cupboard, clean up the 2 bags i used over the weekend, put them out to air for a few hours before storage. happily intend to print lecture notes BUT none is available (lazy professors i have). so i could only print out course outlines! so i made small labels for my course files, print them, cut them, paste them
. yeah! it's 3pm finally. feeling hungry, i made cup noodles and went to shower. watched the variety program by Jacky Wu while eating my noodles and by 4.30pm, changed n off for the interview.
it's a small music school. he turned up at only 5.45pm. it was a good interview. more of me interviewing him as my profile is quite clear and he seems to be quite impressed with my backgrounds. i shoot him with lots of questions n we shared a few new ideas for the school regarding keyboard. surprise to find out that i will be the ONLY actual keyboard teacher with qualified cert in keyboard (electone for my case). during the interview, msged paul to call the sch to check the rate for beginner's keyboard so i can roughly judge how much commission to ask for. in any case, he was very honest and told me the school's fee before i asked. after the interview and audtion... he offered me the job immediately, providing me with 50% commission. Don't
WOW bcos it's NOT a lot. can earn lots more if i teach privately. but i just want to have the experience and a little income and the distance is a super plus point for me. plus it's difficult to find students who want to learn the keyboard. he joked, "after sch u can pop by, teach then walk home."
haa he would be arranging classes for me next week and hope i have fun there. :)
to dearest,
happy anniversary.
with love, sabby
