Going out with my tuition Kid

Went out with Darris today.

I have taught Darris ever since he was Primary 4. I still rmb when i first saw him, he was slithering on thbe floor,acting like a snake. Hahah... How time flies.. Now, he had already finish PSLE and looks down on childish behaviour.

He scored very good results with all As and Distinction in Mathematics! As a reward, I decide to treat him to something good. Hence, with his mum's permission, I brought him out for a movie.

However, upon reaching The Cathay, he cant find a movie that he wanted to watch. He suddenly suggested Arcade... Hhahah... Kids, being Kids. Hence, brought him to Downtown East to play at the huge arcade there...

I bought a $10 card and we went to survey the ground. It was mediocre and only a few games that both of us are interested in. Competed in a car racing game and i lost!

Next, we found a game that uses a lot of force and can vent watever you have inside u. Basically, just bang and bang on the machine. The result is just sore arms and lots and lots of tickets...

Darris decide that he was aiming for the cheapo soccer ball which cost about 630 points. Hence, we worked towards that... I spent $40 and he spent $10 on working towards that 'cheapo' ball... lol...

Ok la, in the end, we got what we wantd and even managed to redeem another 3 cans of soft frinks at 43 points each...

Following that, we went to cure our hungry stomach. We went pass Seoul Garden and was looking at the price. Then I turn around and ask Darris whether he wants to eat at this outlet or not. He jus very softly say "don wan unless u are treating", haha... He left onli about $5... OK la, I treat him to Seoul Garden lo, cos he like very poor thing... Want to eat there but no money.

Dinner was quite enjoyable... Ate quite a bit of things and chat quite a lot.

这就是我所向往的目的。教书,不只是麻木地灌溉知识给这群幼苗。教书也是一种人与人之间的一种满足感。虽然在教他补习的时候,我所收他的学费不多但我所得到的满足感却超出了金钱所能衡量的。

打个比方,新年的时候。他的妈妈说三文鱼买得太大条了,所以分了一些给我。所以,第二次去他家得时候,我买了一些干粮和橘子去他家。补习之后,他的外公还给了我一份$60元的大红包,而他的妈妈也给了我一份$20元的红包。我不是因为他们给了我两份大红包而喜欢他,而是我知道他们懂得感激。

教师节时,Darris也亲自做了一些cookies给我。虽然费用不高,但也是一份真诚的感谢。后来,连过中秋节时,我也给了他们一盒月饼。

这个补习学生,提醒了我为什么要加入这一行。

接下来的几天,我也会和几个小六生出去。这样的师生关系,才是我所想得到的,而不止是停留在教书和读书的阶段。
