Ytd went Moe Talk with Xx @ Alley Bar @ Peranakan Place.
Happily, the bar is very nice.

Went in at 4pm under bright sunlight.

Feels like night time inside.

Ambience is cosy & nice ~ save electricity too.

Sadly, only orange juice & soda No alcoholic drinks!

Super sensible though.

Imagine a bunch of drunk teachers inside.

Dunnoe will say wad and spoil image.

Moe really invest so much on marketing, making everything looks & feels so glam.

Even the paper bag distributed below looks trendy.

The words below is bling bling one lei.

I saw Mr Siva inside the paper bag!

He's my sec sch teacher from Canberra sec!
I didn't know he's previously a lawyer!
No wonder he spoke so eloquently during classes.
He give me my first A in social studies lor!
So proud of him! He's the man!

Now, let me talk abt the moe talk.
Two teachers on Teacher Award once but now teaching at SJC & SAJC share with us their experience.
They r not very spontaneous.
So I ask qns.
I asked about a teacher's daily lives.
They say, morning assembly den plan lesson den carry out lessons den cca den events den activities den mark assignments.
wao! I don't dare comment.
Den i ask if there's any student that left any impact.
Both say yes.
One say there's this student in jc1 who never listens in class den one day go ask teacher,"U think I'm useless?" "No." says teacher.
Den she didn't make it to jc 2.
den work hard harder hardest den make it to uni.
Den got come back visit & thank teacher.
Wao!
a teacher's words are words of gold!
I hope there's a teacher like her who said this to me personally!
Imagine what I can do lor.
Den the male teacher says he went Thailand cip during dec holiday.
Realised that actually can know students more & see them grow & mature.
Hm...I know what he meant.
During my tuition right, when I see that they slowly improve & understand wad u saying & actually listens to u so intently while looking into your eyes and says,"Really?" when u teach them something new right, I really felt I'm influencing them slowly.
Both r econs teachers.

There's this guy among us,
he graduated from Ntu one year from econs le.
Jobless.
I scare end up like him lo!
he's Terrance-like.
looks lethargic, feels lethargic, no smiles, soft-spoken, looks boring, feels boring.
But y?
Cos jobless?

So conclusion: Do I want to sign up Teacher Award?
My dad wants me.
But I nt so enthu lei...
So much fringes & benefits...
but my heart says, " but. but.but..."

Anyway, the reason y we r late half an hour to moe talk is cos b4 this,
I accompany Xx for a showdown at California Fitness.
She says the ppl calls eveyrday for a week to rush payment when payment is not due!
First person talk to us.
Can't settle.
2nd came.
Talk until from smiles to frustrated tone.
Referred to Customer Service Manager.
Argue until Manager suggest Xx talks to lawyer!
Scary.
I haven spoke anything until now la...cos I really dunnoe what's the confusion.
Now I see the point le.
Cos the 2nd person trying to close deal so she tells Xx a super simplified version of the payment timings.
Simplified until like makes the gym package feels like such a great deal.
Turned out not really la...
but that's how the industry works ma.
So kinda she's more or less at some fault lo.

Amore also.
Den I started peace making when I heard "speak to Lawyer"
Where got $$ right.
I dunnoe where my peace making skills come from lor.
I manage to talk both sides to peace and bring smiles back to the manager lor.
But poor Emily, manager promise to talk to the GM and give her disciplinary actions!
I heard she's a marketing graduate!

My beautician also double major in marketing & management!

Why all end up as sales associate?

yyy?

When we go out the place, I even 'tao' them.
They say 'thank you' den I didn't even turn back to acknowledge.
lol.
Ok, post too long le...bb
Lastly, Xx, u really a debating pro lo...haha
