sick mum and i

sigh... my mum fell sick yesterday. from yesterday night till today evening, the amount of time she dedicated to getting out of bed is less than 5%. that must have been a 'WOW' in your mind. if not, it sure was in mine. i did not knew how she managed that, but it was quite incredible. took some time taking care of her, but soon felt groggy. i tried lying down on the bed for a while, in the end, i end up sleeping. lOl. just got woke up by a call. a call asking me to go work at geylang. the price she told me was ok, but its the once-per-week deal that got me going. i know it isn't much... but its only once per week, might as well. ok, before anyone start fantansizing about all the wrongs than the rights, i shall explain. i am going there to give tuitions. yea, tuitions for sec 1. i understand its hard for you to imagine me teaching english, maths and science there after my earlier description, but try your best to follow up. yup. tuition at geylang. i was forewarned that the location is near the red light district. in front of it is the red light district, but i will be teaching at the back. ok, i dun really understand what the hell was that... but $220 a month, 4 lessons of 3 hr each... anyone as desperate as me might well consider it huh? at least i won't have to make 2 trips down per week down to geylang. when its time for me to enter university, its also easier for me i suppose. with this and the current student i have in AMK, thats 2. financially speaking, this isn't enough for me to pay for my expenses in uni... tuition fee, hostel fee, allowance... but i am afraid that i might be too busy with tuitions in the end. anyone has the same experience to share with me?
