My new tuition Kid, Wilson, 13 yrs old

and i will be teaching him English!i met up with him and his "gan cheong" father earlier this afternoon and walked from my uni to their place. Hong kong houses are really really small, no wonder people crowd the streets. Well, when i went there,t he father was hugely overeacting.. this kid is so smart. He's in king's college and its a good secondary school. He got a B for english and his father wants him to get an A and that's why i was needed. trust me, he can speak good english..and we converse and get along really well. His parents were very impressed with me and then i felt bad.. why? i had to lie that i was going to be around for one year.. they said.. if only u can be here for 3 years! and i don't know what i'm going to do when i have to leave or maybe i won't leave and ask them to accomodate me while i teach their son for three years.. haha.. wishful thinking..I was happy that they are so organised saying that they'll oay me on the 5th of each month and they wanted me to fix a time..impressed how Hong kongers take so much effort with education and the parents are so worried..i hope i'll be a blessing to the family too. Wilson is the only son.. like a lt of other families.Well, i got back to school and went to hazel's room to slack before my class sat 630. i'm late even when i'm within the campus. its a disease.And after class i decided to be nice and go for dinner with Andy but that came at a price.. i had to walk so much! and also, i had actually wanted to finally explore the lib and gte down to getting some readings but well..i'll do it tomo..look for the next post for the night activity!
