That's what I thought too initially! But upon, my first bite, my impression changes. They are definately NOT going to get a repeat customer out of me. The stingray is overcooked, and the entire fish is flaky and hard, the same goes for the curry chicken. It seems like they were cooked over a high flame, and like all protein food, the strands coagulate and becomes tough. The only redeeming part to this meal was its sausages and the curry sauce. It's just so delicious. But then again, the cost of the dish is never going to be justified with just the taste of the sauce.

It costs me a freaking $7 just for this dish of 1 meat, 1 fish and 1 vegetable. It's not worth it, and I would have to give it two thumbs down. I'm the customer who would never come back again. Well, maybe just for the drinks. Their drinks are dirt cheap at $0.80-$1.20 for their icy homemade drinks.


I had too much to eat for today, and after this hefty dinner, I felt like I would want to throw up again. It's just that I forgot that I had already taken a very heavy lunch, and then I follow that heavy lunch with a heavy dinner. Am I being dumb or what? *Smacks head*


Financial Cashflow
Just some days ago (was it about 1 or 2 days back), I had officially announced that I was officially broke with just $0.70 in my bank and no cash on me. Well, the good news is out now! I am declaring myself officially unbroke. Lol. Somehow or rather, it's weird but then I would just have to say that I am super lucky.

Just when I am down to my last $0.70, money just flowed into my account 2 days later. Nigel had paid me $70 out of the $350 that he owed me. Thank goodness! And to top it off, my student's mum called me during my office hours and asked me if I would like her to pay me for the 4 lessons that I taught her daughter before letting her go on a break till December 2008, or would I prefer for her to hold on to that cash and pay me off at 1 shot when lessons resume in December 2008.

Being the nice person that I am (now, don't you roll your eyes), I just left the decision to the mum to make. In the end, she decided to pay me the balance first and recount the lessons when lessons resume in December. So I had another $100 which was transfered to me. Thank goodness!


My Student
And my student's results are out. Initially, when her mum called me, I had thought that she wanted to terminate my services. But then, that was not the case. Instead, she wanted me to continue on and teach her daughter for next year in 2009. (Details will be discussed during the first week of December) as her daughter had improved in her results again.

Cassandra had improved from her mid-year to a 75% average for all 3 subjects - English, Maths and Science. Her mum is very pleased with the results, though I would not have said the same for my expectations for her. I happen to think that she is a very smart girl and is much more capable of achieving higher grades than this provided that she wants to. Anyway, since the mum is happy, I would have to say to her, congratulations, and keep up the hard work!! I'm looking forward to tutoring her again when she is in P6 next year!

I could still remember that she is one of my successful student. Why would I say so is that when I started tutoring her last year in July when she was in P4, her grade average was at 50%, but after just 4 months of intensive tutoring, her grades then shot up to a high of 89% average. This was one of the success story that I feel very proud of. She had received an award for the biggest improvement in English ($200 cheque) from her school as her grades improved from 51% to 89% for her English.
Well done Cassandra!
