:: jevyn the brat ::

i tore up the work of the above-mentioned today.

the kid must be on the most extreme end of the most Infuriating scale!! when i reached the place, his dad was still around. so we got to work immediately. beginning with his english spelling which would be tested today. apparently he wasn't in much of a mood so he dilly-dallied and told me all about Super Yoyo and Beyblade, my Pilot pens, his FOUR Pilot mechanical pencils, how he has so many more pencils than me, ETC. i entertained him on and off whilst urging him to complete his ten word spelling. Now and then after he finish writing one word he'd look and me and say, "You I-Diot", occasionally substituting "I-Diot" with "Stupid". I just played dumb and let it pass cuz he's so ultra rude theres no use saying anything. And when i press him to hurry up, he'd make monkey faces at me, meaning he rolls up his eyes and shows all the eye-white, his mouth forming an "o" and sticking out his tongue, whilst shaking his head from side to side like in a trance.

FINALLY, we finished the English Spelling. THEN, we moved onto the Chinese Spelling. the HAO LIAN KIA cockily boasted that he knows ALL the words already so, i juz tested him on the spot.

me: ok where's your ting1 xie3 (chinese spelling) list?
jev: i know all these words already..
me: oh really? then i'll just test you now ok?
jev: you know the Super Yoyo right, hav the (dunno what) ball bearing and (dunno what) model..(run away)
me: jevyn! come on.... ok come, number 1, li2 li2 wai4 wai4.
jev: you know my Pilot pencils right, how many do you have?
me: i hav 2, ok come on write li2 li2 wai4 wai4.
jev: (snicker) haha i have four, you know?

And on and on and on.

AGAIN he did all the above mentioned stuff, PLUS running off to god-knows-where, and spinning his Super Yoyo. We got to the second last sentence when he wrote a wrong character so i corrected him. He juz made the stupid IDIOT face and insisted that he's correct.

me: ok wait this is wrong, it's supposed to be like this...
jev: no no no (wags finger with condescending look)
me: no look you wrote this the last time in your ting1 xie3 (spelling) and it's wrong, see?
jev: (dilly dallies over spelling book)
me: ok enough, last one.... (stuff spelling book back into his sch bag)
jev: YOU! (starts to write) You IDIOT! *monkey face*
me: jevyn come on, last one already, then you can go play ok?
jev: (plays Super Yoyo)

I really ran out of patience with him by now cuz this is the way he's been behaving 90% of the time. So i threatened to mark whatever he hasn't written wrong and make him do corrections 100 times for each word he didn't write. Didn't work. So then he fiddled with his FOUR Pilot pencils and i juz took 3 away from him. He did his Thing again, and i then threatened to break ALL his pencil lead (one new pack and one half used one).

me: now write the last sentence! hurry up.
jev: *sticks out tongue* You stUpid!
me: (exasperated) ok jevyn if you dun write the last sentence i'm going to break ALL ALL ALL your pencil lead, see all these?? (waves two cases of lead) i'm going to break ALL of them, then i see how you play with your pencils.
jev: you stupid. .... you think i can't use them when u break them....? i can still buy more....
me: come on jevyn, (repeats last sentence). quick. (puts lead back into pencil case)

The Brat immediately snatched his pencil case away and ran into his parents' study. I stood up, and, inspired by the RJ teacher, took the paper he wrote on, and tore it with as much noise as i could, and scrunched up the paper with as much noise as i could, and said, "fine, you dun wan to write right, later you get ALL zero its not my problem. and i'll just LAUGH at you, i'll laugh SO LOUDLY that i'll get a tummy ache!"

And so he went, sulking and sulking in the study. After repeated pleading, urging, chastising, chiding from Lynette (the maid), he continued to ignore her. Then he called his mummy and complained and wailed and bawled and accused me of tearing up his original spelling list and breaking all his pencil lead and screaming to Lynette that:

"I know why all my lead keep disappearing! she break all of them! NOW I KNOW THE SECRET!!"

what the HELL. bleahz. then the mummy said she'd call me and talk to me. i swear i thot i'd be fired. hahaha. in the end she even came home early early to find out what happened. BLEAHZ.

oh well. i've still got the job. and she's real keen that i continue with the kids even after i start school. now that's a REAL nightmare, i cant imagine anything worse than tolerating this kinda nonsense. *arghz*
