Well, we have come to the end of the Tuition Mini Series where we had Karen, Clara, Philip and Mickey-D so far. What better way to top it off with yours truly as a tuition kid myself.
I remembered doing exceptionally well in school that I was posted, the year after, to Sec 3B where I was to do Triple Science and Double Maths for O-Levels. Suddenly, I was thrown into a class with all the scholar-calibre people. Wah raoz.... confirm sure die damn ugly one.
Imagine the students in the class as a group of Gladiators ready to do battle in the arena. Imagine all of them fully equipped with RPG rockets, bazookas, Uzis, Berettas, light sabres(!) and fully protected with exo-armour.
Now imagine me with just a paper hat and a can opener(!).
Yup, that's right. That was how I felt when standing side-by-side with these smart classmates fighting the lions in the Colosseum. Of which, one of them went on to become President's Scholar of my batch. Can opener and paper hat indeed!
I started the year in the worst possible way, I flunked Physics and A-Math on my first semester. My first ever red in my report book. I was totally devastated. I couldn't keep up with the pace of work in that class. That was when I decided that I need help and hence hired a tutor.
Andy came aboard when he was still in NS but clearing his ROD leave (ORD for the younger readers) and getting ready to start his NTI freshman year. He was a tall and lanky guy with a grip so tight that I will talk about it later. You could tell what 2½ years of NS has done to him. His manners and speech all reeks of army.
Andy: So the answer to this problem will be 36.25, WRONG! 36.23 m/s.
I almost jumped out of my chair when he did the "WRONG!" for the first time, which I later realised that was how you are supposed to talk in the army when communicating over the radio.
Even his method of teaching also quite robotic machiam army style, which in a strange way turned out to be quite effective and I was quick to grasp the topics.
Essentially he was a no-nonsense kinda guy and I made the mistake of being a smart-ass ala Eric Foreman in That 70s Show. Just as quick to my wit as was his hand around the back of my neck and the grip was so strong that I was gripped into submission in 2.2 seconds flat. I became the model, "super-cooperative" student ever since.
Then came the interesting part. He devised this little game during tuition. He would look up a challenging problem from the books and gave it a once-through to assess it.
Andy: Hmm... this problem looks like it is worth 2 minutes. Go!
The word "Go!" and a mad scramble for the pen and paper ensued, followed by mad scribbling while he counted down his black Casio digital watch which was the staple fashion of the army world.
So what do I get for beating the clock? Nothing.
So what do I get if I can't beat the clock? 20 push-ups!
Andy: This problem is worth 2½ minutes. Go!
* 2 minutes later *
Me: Done! QED! Hah hah! I beat the clock!
Andy: Go knock it down 20.
Me: Why?
Andy: Your answer wrong.
Me: *Groan!*
It was tough in the beginning as I could end up as many as 300 push-ups each tuition session. However, it suited me perfectly as I was really into the fitness craze back then and I really find it a very interesting challenge.
Soon, I was getting the hang of things and was starting to do well. It fact, Andy was the one who introduced to me the studying of the so-called "short cuts" instead of "bulldozing" which obviously wasn't getting me anywhere. Then came the December holidays and we decided to work through it. The end result was that I completed the 10-year series for both physics and A-maths. Yes, I was ready to take the O-Levels for these two subjects even before I was to start Sec 4.
And so that kinda explain why I was the "expert" during the MacDonald's tuition sessions.
I literally breezed through the exams later that year, especially when it come to Physics, E-math and A-math. Just to give you an idea, I finished both Paper I and Paper IV of the A-math in under an hour each as I raised my hand to signal to the invigilator (Does Atomic Leow ring a bell?) of my intention to leave the exam hall, they thought I had given up on the paper. Hah!
Like my friend Loong (MeePok's classmate) said, "KNN, si beh Cheng!" or Wing (also MeePok's classmate) said, "Nah beh, si beh ya ya papaya." Heh heh. Yes. I was quite the arrogant bastard in my younger days. Now no more already lah. Old man liao. Haiz... :(
Anyway, I did wanted to try the same push-up game with Philip but alas the lazy ass was too idle to even bat an eyelid to the suggestion. KNS!

I was driven by fear of being left behind by the rest of the class. It was a stressful time then. Glad it turned out ok at the end though.
I finished in the top 100 out of 520+ in my year but I was 37th out of 42 in my class.
Definitely paper hat and can opener.

14. Ed, Edd & Eddy left...
15. JayWalk left...
Ed, Edd, & Eddy: Won't lah. Andy did ask beforehand if I was game for it and I said yes.
Not that it was forced upon me or anything. Perhaps it was the gambling instinct in me to take up the bet in the currency of push-ups.
And I was the sucker to get egged into one wager after another after another after another. ~LOL

Actually the truth to be told, the reason why I rush through the papers was because I get tennis court bookings!
Ahhh... when you were young, the sense of priority was a bit "orbit" one.
vandice: It was the momentum. Once you get started, it became easy to maintain.
Besides, can opener leh... have to work harder than the rest.

My dear, it is not an issue of you in Commerce SAJC and I in Science ACJC. It is an issue of you, a girl and I, a guy. 'Nuff said.
MeePok: I second the skirt observation. I remembered seeing this SAJC girl riding a scrambler (short-skirt-school-uniform-biker-chick!). I almost wanted to throw myself onto the road in front of her, just so I can stop her to say Hi.
35. hitomi left...
MeePok: Is it? I prefer the ACJC uniform, at least the girls don't have to put on a tie and a belt. The skirt can pull until damn short meh, how come I don't know? Some of the girls made their skirts real tight and short. Don't know how they managed to get into our "challenging-skirts-unfriendly" canteen seats. No wonder your eyesight's still terrible...
36. JayWalk left...
Anyway, she was not from St Margaret. Were you?
Where year were you from, if you don't mind me asking?
37. hitomi left...
Nope, I was from another girls' school, with blouse + pinafore as our uniform.
I was in SAJC in 1990 and 1991. Sekali I'm older than you. Which year were you from?
38. JayWalk left...
Hmm... "another" girls' school with blouse + pinafore i.e. Not CHIJ..
RGS? SAC?
Saya ACJC 1988-89.

I have a gut feeling you know who I am, if I were to reveal my identity. Perhaps we should take this offline?
Clue #1: I was in the Acc&Biz Club main committee.

IM me if you are game. I can be found at voxeros<at>hotmail.com (MSN) or voxeros (Yahoo).

hitomi: That was heck of a fast response!!
IM me if you are game. I can be found at voxeros<at>hotmail.com (MSN) or voxeros (Yahoo).
As for Pam, let me go grab her over her to explain the whole situation.
Here's very memorable quote from her friend warning her about me.
"What JayWalk wants, JayWalk gets."
Lies! Lies! All Lies!!!

hitomi: You don't need special software to generate the chinese characters unless you are using the older Windows like Win95, Win98, WinME or (gasp!) Win3.11.If you are using Windows 2000 or XP, you have it already. Just need to going to your control panel to fish it out. I can help you with it, if you so desire to have that feature.
