i was out on good friday working on project 'x' with my partner and mengli jie. its so damn hot that i was melting. the 1st thing i reached home was to have a cold bath. i really wish there are 4 seasons in singapore so it wouldn't be summer all year round.

was around singapore looking at units - hougang, marine parade, sembawang, bukit panjang. a couple of the units were pretty good. the ura guidelines that i was waiting for since december is finally out. phews... they really take their own sweet time can. *geez*

ever since i named it project 'x', most friends i meet up will asked me "how's project 'x' coming along?" then i will blank out for awhile before remembering that's what i called it on my bloggie. thus, since i'm getting really close to it, i shall officially declare it (since most of you know what's it anyways so no point being sneaky about it, hur hur) - i'm starting a student care centre.

this sounds a little shocking as i'm from the financial services industry, its what i had and still is studying for, where my experience all lies, so what's that got to do with teaching?

well, it all started when my nicest boss i ever had approached me with his unique proposition. he has a primary-1-going-to-be son plus a 10-years experience moe gifted-education-programme teacher wife whom is teaching at acs independent and with their high standards, couldn't find a good student care center to entrust his son with. i had rejected it though i was excited by it because i don't feel confident enough in doing it.

however, one fine day, i started questioning myself what i want to be and do with my career life. mid-life crisis!

i realise it would be fun to inspire the young and impart my knowledge (er, not a lot la, i'm not a scholar so not much knowledge to boot). i think it would be so challenging, rewarding and satisfying.

anyways, so since then, which was in november, i've been working on it. thinking back, wow, its a good half year ago. *faints*

the next most common question by far i've to answer is "why are you taking so long?". *sighs* my partner was just sharing his 1st experience in starting up a company. he took 1 year and 3 months to set up the old company and everyone asked him why he was taking so long?

we joked and concluded he did and i am going through 3 phrases.

phrase 1 : excitement (1st month)

phrase 2 : confusion & denial like if we are doing the right thing (next 2 months)

phrase 3 : "heck la, don't ask me, if you so smart, you come and start lor!" (till the day things starts running)

the most ironical thing about this is, after we decided to proceed with our joint venture, he accepted a posting from his new company, to go to hyderabad with his whole family for 2 years. thus, our 1st student would not be his son as planned. haa... hes running this remotely which makes things move even more slowly.

so when you see me, don't ask me why is it taking so long. wish me luck ok! =)
