In the middle of lesson
Student C: 'Cher, how many classes do u teach?
Tutor: Other tutors teach 5, i teach 6.
Student C: Then do u get more pay?
Tutor: Same pay, what u think? Teaching is not a free market.
Student F: Why dont u demand more pay?
Student C: Threaten them, if dont raise pay, dont work la
Tutor: They'll say dont want to work then dont work la. U can also do that, dont want to study then dont study.
Student C: Then can i leave now?

Super duper blurblur tutor missed our makeup tutorial on wednesday which he arranged the week before, wasted my time sia..

So those who went questioned him about his absence during thursday's tutorial

Student B: Our classmate's friend sms her to tell her 'how can u have makeup lesson when your tutor is sitting in our lecture theatre?'
Tutor apologised for the miscommunication between 2 lecturers, in the end he had to rush to give a revision lecture as both lecturers thought their turn was next week and sat in the lecture theatre looking at each other. Then they wondered how come nobody's lecturing today?! Wah liao eh..
So he didnt have enough time to inform us.

Student C: To make up for that, can cancel this tutorial?

I dont know how he got to this topic... wasnt listening...
Tutor: You all are like babies, when u all go to uni, it's totally different, have to be responsible for ur own academic performance & attendance.
Student F: If absent, can give Parent's Letter?
* i suppressed my laughter*
Tutor: Cannot.
Student F: Then MC?
Tutor: No use, have to have at least 80% attendance rate to take the exam.
Student F: Hah??? *looking genuinely surprised*
* i was genuinely surprised by his apparent ignorance *
Student B: What if on wheelchair?
Forgot tutor's reply
Student B: Then mentally disabled? Cannot... blahblah (i forgot liao la)

Tutor started ACTING with super funny sounding 'erh erh' and facial expressions
I have no idea why..
CRANKY class have cranky tutor haha

Tutor: You all, ask u take out something, will 'erh erh erh' then grudgingly take out. Ask u all take out foolscap, will erh erh erh again before taking them out slowly. Everything also erh erh erh...
Student C: 'Cher, u think u cute arh??

Tutor finally stopped acting upon hearing that. This is one of the rare occasions that i will agree with Student C.. haha i still dunno his name btw, shall continue calling him Student C.

Almost 10 min before the lesson officially ends
The guys started packing up

Tutor: Hey! Wait wait! I havent finished the lesson.
Students: Dont want la, we want to have lunch.

Many stood up, on the verge of leaving...
Tutor: Go back to your seats, i want to go through worksheet 3 & 4.
Students: 'Cher but u said that one's not important, can throw away one (hmm yeah he really said that before)
Student C: Food is more important.
Tutor (gave in): All right u all may go..
