When it comes to proper tutoring I can say I'm not that great. Maybe it's because as the youngest child in my family, I grew up being tutored instead of tutoring. So in a way, I don't have proper practice in tutoring someone. During my school years, I don't tutor anyone myself. It's not because I'm stingy with knowledge but it's the fact that I'm not a genius, nor that I'm smart or do I have the skills. I may know things, but I don't know those things in depth or I don't know how to show them. I can say, my problem solving skills ain't that great. I do want to help those who asked but I did embarrass myself quite a few times because I taught them wrongly so I instead asked them to ask somebody else. I know. Hoooray for low self-esteem. I'm a contradict.
So anyway, today my eldest sister (
Sofea) came by with her two eldest children. Well apparently they didn't do well during their mid-term exam so she was wondering if me and my other sister (
Lez) could help them with a little bit of tutoring. Well I had to say, my sister Lez did a splendid job in tutoring them cause of her past experience in teaching. Me, on the other hand, sucks big time. So I was teaching my nephew Geography. It was about Coastal. So what comes in my mind for coastal studies are headlands, bays, constructive and destructive waves, swash, backwash and so on so forth. Well since Geography is my favorite and best subject in school and I can tell you straight Charles Darwin formation of continents to formation of plates and other physical means that can make up the earth, but unfortunately I suck at explaining it. I explained almost everything about coastal formation, EVERYTHING from scratch but he just don't get what I'm trying to say. I don't want to blame him for being so slow. I blame myself for not being able to explain such things in a simple manner that can be understandable by him. I'm bad at this and I feel sorry for that kid. Maybe I just need more practice. I hope my nephew understand the notes I'd written for him.
So on the other note. I just
de-activated my Facebook. I think it's because I need a really long time out from that particular social networking site. It's really getting into me. It's like I'm officially a Facebook addict.
Damn. I got my mum worrying about me, cooping in my room and sticking to the PC all the time. Well I can't blame her. My PC is almost like my lifeline. It's where I can reach my friends and have entertainment with just a click away. Man seriously need a life.
Talking about life, I feel like a norm. You work during the day, you rest during night time. You decline every single invitation for night-outs or plain hang-outs because you think it will tire you out and that you have work on the next day. BLAH! such nonsense. I need to relive pronto! I don't want to let myself ended up as that average working citizen who does nothing but work everyday. Scary shit. I need to go out and meet people! Or I'll disappear. I think I'm already disappearing. *
sighs*
I need my friends! And I need a
boyfriend!
Because I feel so fucked up right now not having anybody to talk to or with. Like totally fucked up!
Going out to Bandar tomorrow. Hooray?
