Bonjour. Si vous voulons me chercher, vous êtes venu au faux endroit.

it isnt until youve tried teaching somebody to score in the singapore system that you realise that taking exams isnt exactly very easy afterall. no longer is going to exams about reading roughly what the topics are about and then going there and crap. afterall, it was primary school science, right? with some imagination its pretty scorable right? but no... you realise that there are certain pieces of information that are always tested in certain ways (especially only at P3 level) and that there are just some things you just have to know. and that there are many omg what if the 1% chance of this coming out comes true i just so have to tell you this kinds of questions. and yet, the mother does what she does best. when i dont teach, she complains that i dont teach. when i do, she says its past her bedtime. cant i just have one hour? she hardly started taking out her books till half an hour before.. i mean, i cant just say something like "look. there are people out there who are not as smart as you, who cant grasp things as quickly as you, but theyre gonna do better than you. why? because even though they dont learn as fast, the thing they did learn was to read the question carefully. because they memorised the set of information which will give them 70% of the marks. nearly an A. and you? god. you want to sleep."

from the play we're doing right now,
doesnt the irony just bite you?
