My form of escapism
Ok so the week has reached its midpoint. Yay! Just thurs and fri to go and the weekend is here! And I have no OT or guard duty this weekend so at least it's complete (not to say long at the least). Oh well, there MAY be OT on sat but at this point of time it's a very small maybe so I praying hard and crossing my fingers tight.
Anyway I just came back from tuition followed by supper at bukit timah market with ly tt's why so late haha... to heck with my sleep man! In fact I gave tuition yesterday evening (tues) as well as this evening, and am going to do so tmr evening too... And as usual sunday is mainly devoted to tuition, and for this sat only, I'm going to have a long catch-up lesson with one of my students (he has been putting off lessons for the past 2 weeks so A LOT of catching up is needed...)
Yep. Tuition tuition tuition. It seems everyone who has been coming to blog of late would be seeing the T word quite often... I'm kind of letting it dominate a large of my life. Heck. I'm in fact spending more time at tuition than at home (tt is if you exclude the sleeping hours). Of course most time is spent at camp la... so sianz.
I've been thinking right, why am I flooding my life with so many tutees? Is it the sense of achievement that I derive from telling myself that I am doing something constructive and useful with my time and not letting NS hinder the otherwise purposeful life I would have had? Maybe. Is it the money that I make to enable myself to buy the things I want, and also in the process not being dependent on my parents? Myabe too.
But this week, and in fact the past week has taught me much (or at the very least reminded me since I have had really busy tuition weeks in the past) about tuitioning. I realised that hey, in the blink of an eye wednesday's already passed. I mean tuition has taken up my evenings such that the days roll on so quickly and before I know it three days have passed. In fact months pass quickly in this way too, since long "tuition" sundays come so ever quickly (highlighted ever more with the need for me to prepare my lessons for my students every so once in a while). Four sundays later (or 5 for this month) I would have realised that hey, a month has just passed! So quickly!
Maybe it's my form of escapism? To allow myself to not only delude myself into thinking I am making my life as meaningful as possible but also to allow me to tide pass these 2 blasted years of NS as rapdily as possible. I remember once when I saw my JC classmate Yun Hui, who lives in the same condo as one of my close sec sch frens Janelle, hitting the gym at his condo clubhouse one day during the weeks leading up to the A's (I was there to mug with my frens in case you were guessing what I was there for). And I was like "Har? You're not studying ar?" And he was like "Gym is my form of escapism from all the books and stuff."
Which got me thinking and subsequently kopping his line.
So there, I believe giving tuition is my form of escapism from %$(*& NS.
Oh and Yun Hui got 3 A's btw... so there. It isn't any much of a detrimental escapism, or concept too perhaps for that matter.
And am I going to keep going as tough as it is and as much a toll it is taking on me? yes yes yes. Why? Because it it will help my time fly by these 2 years, why not right?
Anyway my office is now like a warzone everyday, with my depot's DCC having a war with our HQ side. Lot of emails and phone calls flying and zooming by to and fro everyday. It's hell in an air-con environment. I hate going to office everyday now... It's terrible. I'd rather stick to the after-camp life I have now...
So many things I want to do. but half of saturday has been taken up. Sunday is needless to say la hor. :(
Am I doing this to myself?
