Yesterday was so energy sapping~

Recently, mosquitoes have been surrounding me in my waking hours and sleep hours in my house, so much so that I hallucinate about the scent of the repellent I use sometimes. Gosh. Sometime past the CNY period, they started moving in and I haven't been able to get a good night's sleep in ages. As a result, yesterday I woke up early in the morning at 8.30am (yes, it's early because I usually sleep from 2am to 12pm) feeling very zombified to bathe and get ready for work.

Currently, I'm taking a short term assignment for a tuition agency to teach Science enrichment in a primary school. The short 1.5 hours of teaching the Pri 4 kids there is much more tiring and mentally-draining than anything else I have attempted within the same time frame. Not to mention that I have to wear formal wear (inclusive of heeled boots), so after the whole session and the long walk back to and from the MRT, my feet would be burning and ready to give way anytime soon. And to my surprise/horror, the current class that I'm teaching is the best class in that cohort, but they are still so naughty. Gosh, I wonder how teachers manage to handle their students.

On a brighter note, the class was so much more well-behaved yesterday as compared to last week, so it was quite fun teaching them. Although, by the end of the sessions, I hardly think that I'll be able to complete whatever I'm supposed to teach them.

After work, I headed back home to change out of the stifling clothes to something more casual and went out for dinner and movies. Watched Inkheart yesterday, and I was rather impressive with the visual effects and the plotline was quite good. Sadly though, something seems to be lacking in the movie; perhaps it was the lack of emotions underlying the excellent visuals that it brings down the rating. Hmm... but if you're interested in the fantasy genre, it's one movie that's worth the money.

Was back home at around 11, but I couldn't get to sleep till 2 plus. Gosh.
