3rd Week at Visible Record

I think Tammy should give me food. That's a pretty reasonable request since I am working for free. Now I am working Tuesday-Friday, 10am-6pm. Pretty standard hours I would say but I am seeing if I can get 1-2 more days off because I am free and a lot of the stuff I can do at home. Actually, yet just doing stuff at home so I can be more flexible with my time here.

I was watching Secondary School again and it is a little more entertaining than the last time I saw it. Some of the teachers are kind of cute. The English reminds me of Singaporean English and that actually supports my theory that Singaporean English is basically Chinese trying to speak Chinese. Actually, that's a well known fact. Just like the Singaporeans, Hong Kongers a lot of time put "ah", "la" and other Chinese expression sound in their English.

Then I thought about a story about a young couple of teachers in different school. The young wife is super stressed with school work and also go to work on the Saturday. The husband feel weird that the school gets more of his wife than him. He has to deal with this teenage student's breakup. Well, he sees a fellow girl student crying uncontrollably and he looks around for another teacher, preferably a female teacher but no one was around so he told her to his office and gave him tissue to try to understand and comfort her. The student was ditched by her boyfriend or something like that. At the same time, the husband is meeting up with a female friend and they find themselves dealing with problems of intimacy with their spouses.

I find Tammy to be a rather extreme person with his perspective. She has a strong character and act like a teacher to everybody. She's somewhat an absolute person. She is not reserved at all except when someone ask her something personal. She asks me a lot of personal questions and I find somewhat invasive of my privacy. She wants to know about my family background, like if I am from a rich family or not. Maybe it's a bit strange for her that I am working for free and coming all the way from Fotan and she has this image of these overseas Chinese or young Chinese Hong Kong people who grew up overseas. She's not keen on rich wealthy or well-to-do people and I think she's being a bit too much judgmental. I can say that she dislikes if not hate rich brats. She probably thinks she's a crusader or something. She's pretty full or herself. A bit rude actually. I think she considers herself to be a sophsicated or civilized or well-educated person but not really. She has some prejudice and some old ancient Chinese thinking in her.
