Ah Leow's Training Centre

I attended Ah Leow's lessons.

I don't think everyone knows him. Well, but amongst some schools, he's rather famous. I must admit that he does have a rather wicked sense of humour, terrible English and weird looks. He's got a knack for explaining tought concepts, be it for Chemistry, Physics, Elementary Maths or Advanced Maths, all the above subjects I received tuition from him.

I attened Ah Leow's lessons. Twice.

I was introduced to him by ys (who's in "where the bloody hell are you? Sydney) when I was in Sec 3 or 4. I cannot remember. I am rather shocked. Was it really that long ago? In any case, I remember paying upfront for the lessons on my first visit.

I'm not an easy student. I have to admit. Not that I am stupid but because I'm jiao gay (cantankerous) or rather, when it comes to rudeness, I can be really insolent at times. But really, how I remembered my two visits to Ah Leow's wasn't about me being rude.

Partly forming the reason why I went to Ah Leow was because ys said there were a couple of chio babes in the centre. Now for a non-church going adolescent (ok, church is a place of worship, but it's alright to check girls out too right?), this was heaven sent. Hur hur.

There were these two girls from a nearby secondary school (Bendemeer actually) that ys said was worth checking out. That was over and on top of the excellent help he was getting from Ah Leow in maths and science. Being given a chance to improve on my grades, I grabbed it with both hands. Right. So the girls played a part too.

But I couldn't stand how Ah Leow's adamantly disturbed the girls there. And guys too. I vaguely remembered that he insisted on calling me Johnson although I repeatedly said it wasn't my name. And being the "young hot blooded" teen, I kind of got expelled from his class after a rather colourful exchange of words. That happened midway through the 2nd visit.

Ah Leow will be spending the next two years of his life imprisoned.

He was charged with the molestation of two of his students who were 14 and 15 years old then.

I understand from the report that many of his former students, some of whom are Ph.D holders, teachers, dentists appealed on his behalf. Well, I am not the best judge of character. Especially when I've only been in contact with him for just over 6 hours or so.

Wisdom of Mum

This is an actual SMS conversation between my mum and I:

Mum: Did the stan chart woman call you today? I am sending cheque later.

Me: Ya, no need to pay subscription

Mum: OK

Mum: What about UOB. You want to pay the 180?

Me: I have to.

Mum: How come this one must pay. Cancel the card.

Me: I have to pay because they gave a free gift. (paradox)

Mum: What free gift?

Me: The free gift is worth more than the subscription.

Mum: What is it?

Me: 3 more years of extra life. (I was getting irritated with her incessant questioning)

Mum: Why lugi? U actually suffers (sic) three more days. U call that free gift??

Hot day

Random

Just want to remind myself that not all white rabbits are albinos.
I must have gotten confused with white tigers which are also not albinos.

Something just ain't quite right.....can't put my finger on it.

This is a real treat

A sizeable group of people in Singapore must be whispering about this:



Who wanna go?
