Sigh.... continuing from what I said last night about
tuition....
Late last night I got a call from a mom.... she apparently had
read my tuition ad and was interested in hiring someone to teach
her son Sec 3 Pure Physics and Chemistry....
We had a pretty good conversation where she asked me about my
qualifications, experience, and what I was currently
doing....
Then she asked, 'How do I address you?'
Me: Call me ****** [most of you know my real name].
At that point, her tone just seem to change and she just quickly
said 'Oh ok, let me think about this. Bye.' Then she just hang
up.
Sigh..... 
Pardon my ignorance, but why? Bcos you're male?
I had that a couple of times too.
Anyway, note to self: Never attempt to run with a headache.
Managed to complete 700m before I had to head home. My dinner
consumed later was reproduced and I was forced to call for lights
out.
