Saturday is my busy day as I teach a few classes on Saturday. As much as I enjoy teaching, it can get really exhausted having classes back to back.

If I have a choice, I would have scheduled the classes on weekdays. But, nowadays, the school keep the children until quite late and the children have multiple classes to attend in a week. It’s a headache trying to accommodate everyone.

In the past two years, parents who want teaching to the tests were weeded out, the present students in the class are quite nice and pleasant to teach. They don’t feel the pressure and they like the multi-sensorial kind of learning environment. They do not just sit there listening, they get to participate and play games.

We have decided to do a little renovation at our house and remodel the kitchen. We are going to add a wet kitchen, replace the broken kitchen cabinet and add a drying area. The workers should be here to start work next week. Until then, the house will be in total mess with dining table, refrigerator and appliances lying in the living hall.

I went to pick the tiles yesterday. For some reason, the guy who is supposed to give me a price quote hasn’t called yet. Though I am not worried of being overcharged as he works for my uncle who owned the tile dealership. My cousin always gives me good discount for the tiles and get his best man to do the job. But, I would like to know whether the total cost comes out to be within our budget or we can change the tiles if the price exceeds the budget. I must call to find out today.

I have been running around town most of yesterday and today. Yesterday, I went down to the tiles shop to pick and order the tiles for the renovation. On the way there, I noticed that the temperature indicator of my good ‘ol Sunny is pointing closer to ‘H’ than to ‘C’. Past experiences told me that the engine might be over-heated. On the way home, I quickly stopped by the workshop to check.

It was an air condition repair shop that I could trust, I passed the key to the boss and went to the next door’s Indian Restaurant for lunch. I could see 2-3 workers working on my car from the restaurant. By the time I finished lunch, they were about to complete the job. They told me the fan of the air condition was malfunction due to a faulty time relay.( Or something like that? I don’t really understand what they said.:-)) However, I am glad it costs less than 20 bucks to fix that.

I have recently discovered this workshop, the workers and the boss there are honest people. Few months ago, another place told me that I needed to pay 300-400 bucks to get my car’s air condition fixed. In fact, all it needed was a refill of gas and it only costs less than 20 bucks at this place. I would never go back to the first workshop that tried to cheat me. But, this one had a loyal customer now.
