Hello again ^_^

[Shirubi]

Schools good...............so how are you THK?!

Me like looks too! ^_^

[Teahouse Keeper]

Ohh...So, Shoe, that sign/symbol you put after Sumimaseh was a guy bowing.....so it wasn't msn bowing emoticon? How come it ain't showing? Hahaha....how come sleepy?

Mm...glad you guys like the new teahouse look It's from Howl's Moving Castle ne. Have you guys seen the movie? Was out in cinemas recently I bought the vcd & dvd 2 weeks ago too

I think the American dvd will be out later.....I mean, American as in the Spirited Away dvd where it was a Miyazaki/Pixar collaboration. There's a dvd already out but not sure if it's American. The description at back of the dvd is in Japanese. kcdvd.com/HMC.html

The vcd & dvd I bought are licensed & distributed by a local distributor. English/Japanese/Chinese subs with Japanese/Chinese dialogue. Took me a while to find the dvd coz it was sold out in some places & I only learnt about it quite late.

I didn't know the vcd & dvd were out at my place until I came across them one day in the mall. Seems people prefer the dvds & I gotta say, the dvd is simply beautiful!!! Super sharp, super clear, super sound!!! English subs are good too.....same as in the cinema, I think.

Ahh.....glad you're ok with school, Shirubi Yeah, I'm ok too....except that....recently had a bad experience with a student & the mom. Very bad people. I'm sorry I ever met them. But other than that, things have been ok. But wish I had more $$$ though. Guess all of us could use more of that ne?

Giving tuition is no fun, you know? I didn't know although I didn't like the idea in the first place. But had to do it for the cash. So now...it seems I'm stuck with it for a bit.

Do you guys have tutors?

[Shoe]

i don't have tutors... i see no need for them. =\

[Teahouse Keeper]

Mmm....Shoe, do you usually read whole posts?

I guess whether a student needs tutors or not depends on the education system & whether he/she can cope alone.

At my place, education is tough & parents want their kids to excel in everything. So, parents will hire tutors to coach their kids.

[Shirubi]

I don't have a tutor either.......

[Shoe]

meh, i was lazy last night. =P

hmm yeah... it's not the msn emoticon bowing. It's just a man bowing using script. I shows on mine.

i've been really sleep these past few days cos of lack of sleep. =P

[pippichan]

I wonder what Shoe's doing until he's lack of sleep.... too much sex? XP

Hmm... looks like in western countries, private tuition is not famous, eh? While in east, I think it's very popular.... even in my place, little kids have got tuition too although they haven't entered kindergarten... learning to know letters and numbers...

[Shoe]

i learnt my numbers and letters in preschool. Tutors ain't very popular in the western culture.


too much sex?? i wish. XP ..... naa it's just that school's been getting hectic.... heaps of homework.. long hrs worth of hw... >.<

[Teahouse Keeper]

Man bowing using script?? How come it shows for you, Shoe?

Ohh...I didn't know tutors ain't popular in western culture....I guess they just study at home on their own.....*wondering*

Whoa...heaps of homework eh....no wonder you haven't been dropping by as often these days....hmm...what kinds of homework? Need any help? Hehehe....

Mm...Pippichan's place....not yet kindergarten but having tuition? *imagines little children sitting in stools* Hehehe....kawaii ne....squeezables.

[Shoe]

i dunnoo.... i think you have to have a correct script stuff to see them.

well, it's being a whole range of subjects... hospitality, music, drama and english.

[Shirubi]

I wish our school had drama class!

[Teahouse Keeper]

Ohh...Music, Drama, English, Hospitality....hmmm....those are Arts side....No science at all?

Shirubi's school doesn't have Drama class? Mm...how about Drama club?

[Shirubi]

Nope, we don't even have that! -_-

[Teahouse Keeper]

Don't even have Drama club?? Then what clubs/groups does your school have, Shirubi dearest?

Also, any thoughts about the teahouse these days? Like, anything special you wanna see? Anything you feel will be good to have?

[Shirubi]

Shirubi is good. Me might be getting a bf! ^_^
Schools really good! And me like the new looks too!

meh... i stopped liking science in yr 10. I hated maths in yr 11 so i dropped maths... so i got the arts side... which is good cos it's what i like. ^_^

[Lord Hector]

Man, I haven't been here in sometime. It feels good to be back.

[Teahouse Keeper]

Shirubi is getting a boyfriend?? Mm....you're only.....14 ne? AHh...glad you like the new teahouse look

Ohh..I see. Mm....I think for schools at my place, a student can't do totally Arts between ages 13 to 16 (if I remember correctly). The science they take is a mixture of Chemistry/Physics/Biology.....and the Maths is kinda easier for them compared to the Pure Sciences class. Not sure if things have changed.

Anyway, even though Arts is great & fun....Science is still pretty important ne?

Mm...how old is Year 10 & 11?

Ohh....Lord Hector, welcome back Mm...why do you say it feels good to be back? Where have you been?

[Shoe]

science is important, depending on what you wanna do in the future.

On average... yr 10 students tend to be 15-16, and yr 11 they tend to be 16-17

[Teahouse Keeper]

Mm...Shoe, I mean, Science is important even as a general knowledge. It doesn't matter if you are on the Arts side. Science in the world is still important, from the materials you use to the environment and the diseases that affect humanity and even the food you eat.

I guess maybe your Science teachers weren't good at teaching the subject, making you dislike it. But Science is really fun and useful.
