Got a date?

Me: You know ah, my student was like asking me for REMEDIAL tomorrow, specifically at 4pm.
C[colleague]: haha, serious? Anyway, you have a date tmr?
Me: Nah, I'm single.
C: and available!
Me: No, I'm single but unavailable. haha. How about you? Any date?
C: Nope.

I have this really naughty class of 20 students cos we split them up for math. There's this irritating group of boys who love to sing. Irritating they may be, I enjoy their comic antics and and occasional outbursts of singing. [can be really disruptive.] One of them totally doesn't follow my lesson despite sitting front row.

Me: I can practically see an F grade on your O level paper already. Can you please please listen in class? You need to start working hard now!
Boy: Aiyah, i don't like maths la
Me: What do you wanna do when you grow up?
Boy: Musician!

His response wowed me. What a carefree and true response. I think I'm less clearer about it than him.
