I fucked up.

In the last post, I told you I was asked to teach my cousin's daughter some English. And two classes after, I mentioned about fees. Before that I asked my siblings how much should I charge per class. And they said, I should charge by hour. RM 30/Hr. And since each class was an hour and a half, each session should cost them RM 45. Told the mom, and she said this rate is too expensive. I said, I'm teaching her everything I know and I want to help her be better in English and whatever that might cost me (time, sleep, commitment, etc.), I don't mind as long as I got paid. And they said, they'd think of it first.

After a few days, she (the girl) came over for a session. This time, she mentioned that each session will be cut short to an hour only and she came forth bringing the fee for the past classes which is RM 90.

After that, she gives so much excuse to come. I know she wants to learn. Did I charge too much? I mean, her mom said that they used to pay RM 15 a month! Are you kidding me?

But now, I feel bad. I don't know. I want people to pay me well, but if that means this kid can't pay, what's the purpose of that.

By the way, I hate working for people who don't communicate well. Totally different from the above story. Still hate it now. Felt trapped. God help me.

Hi hi.. So, I know I haven't been able to always post some things for you guys, but today I have a special topic that I want to share. This area is particularly new for me, and it would help if you guys could leave your opinion in the comment section. (Doesn't exactly happen all the time, I know, but no harm done in asking, right? ;] ) Do you know the feeling when you have to work with people that are related to you? (i.e. brother, cousin, uncle) Do you feel okay with it or do you feel somehow heavy in your heart or maybe a little bit hesitant about it? Because I'm kinda thrown into it, and I can't find a way to say that I'm not exactly glad to be in this arrangement. I do have work experiences even though none of them is what I consider something I want to do long term. My past gigs involves working as a cashier at a supermarket and a temporary work as a substitute teacher. Since then, my brothers have numerous times tried and tried convincing me to find a job...

Fellow friends. I apologize. I've deleted all of my old posts. As they no longer relevant and does not portray me or my views well. Old mistakes are memories made. However, they are mine to keep and be remembered the way I so choose. Good life begins at 25. Hopefully.

 Just venting a little here. I love making food. Truly, I do. Making them, plating them, eating them. I love them all.  But there are just moments in my life where I just cannot be bothered to cook. And today is one of them. I feel like cleaning the kitchen is okay, but to cook? Honestly, I'm feeling a little drained of being cooped up in the house, cleaning, cooking, cleaning again, other house chores, and it just doesn't end. And the expectation is, I have to clean, cook, clean, cook, clean, cook, clean, cook, and I see no end to it to be honest.  I like cooking when I get input of what to make, being with me in the kitchen as a way of supporting me, and cleaning in turns. And there are days, I just want to order in. Just to feel like I get to skip cooking for a day. I know I order in before, but yeah, I don't know man. I can't say it, cause I feel like it's wrong. I know I get allowance every month, but man... I do feel it. The burn is here, not sure if it's ...
