Concerts.

Sorry for not updating for the past couple of days. I guess it’s quite understandable that I am getting myself all tired after one whole week of lessons. Actually teaching can be a pretty fun job, it’s just that it can be quite frustrating at times too. I won’t really call it frustrating – it’s more like the kind of pleasant frustrations. It’s the kind of frustrations that you won’t really feel angry or upset and can really have a laugh about. Hope that would stay that way.

Anyway I’ve bought the tickets to two concerts – Janice Vidal’s one in March (which cost me $480) and the big one – Ayumi Hamasaki’s concert the following week (which also cost me $480). The crazy thing about Ayumi’s concert was that when the tickets were on sale yesterday, they were sold out within 3 hours! I think I was very lucky to be able to secure two tickets for the concert, and I’m sure for those who want to make a quick buck or two by selling the tickets at jacked up prices would be laughing their ways to the banks. But as for me, I’m just more than happy to be able to watch a couple of good concerts in a row. In fact, I’ll be watching Justin Lo’s concert this Sunday!

And of course my mood is always going to be great when I got my pay! The promptness of my employers dispatching my pay was impressive – certainly something that a particular university in Singapore can learn about. I mean, this university took 3 months and still fail to dispatch a miserable sum of allowance. The questions for this university would most probably be…

“How much longer would you take? And what reason would you be using for this delay? And why would you take 3 months to dispatch that few hundred dollars? Is it because we are only students that’s why we can be bullied into this kind of inefficiencies?”
