Baby steps......

towards No 6, Jalan Kristal Lima 7/70E. Heh. We're treading on new grounds. I'm afraid but somehow sometime in the near future we're gonna have to do it. Might as well rough it now. I'm plowing full steam ahead. Some people are gonna get gunned down. Some people, on the other hand, will get the full privileges of a luxury cruise. Mak, raya tahun depan yek? Abah, serai ke daun pandan?

Meanwhile, this brought some of the familiar feelings back...

Cikgu Som mengomel....

By far this is the most boring class that I've taught. You get only 9 students but you expect that some of them would be jovial and funny. At least that was the experience that I got for the past two semesters. Tapi kali ini masyaallah! how boring. The kids (some of them are actually OLDER than me!) that are intelligent and enthusiastic enough turn out to be skema, those that do look like they could make some noises in the classroom are not interested in the subject. And there is a couple that are so quiet and introverted that I just don't know whether they understand what I am jabbering about or not. But the IP addressing issues did get them stoked. I got asked a lot of questions, made to conjure case studies out of thin air. Luckily, Uncle Cisco has helped me a lot. Now I do have the extra confidence to teach especially IP addressing. But in between there were no funny jokes, no singing remarks. I kinda expected this type of crowd to be the good ones before I started teaching but now I long for the antics of Suhaimi and Ismail, and the cheekiness of Nurul and Hilmi. Guys, repeat some papers why don'tcha?

Meanwhile, check out the flowers I got for my birthday last year. Ferrerro Rocher no less!

What is it about Malaysians...

and freebies? We just LOVE them, don't we? I was at a launch party of a Learning Management System recently and I've seen a crowd build up just to get the freebies. No matter that they are not the targeted audience, that they never have and never will use the system. There were freebies to be had and they weren't shy about queuing up to get all the goodies. Or is it a universal thing?

Turnaround

It's beginning to change. My point of view, that is. Ever since I took the plunge to make myself better spiritually. I hope it keeps up. The only thing is to remember to accept the negatives as a stepping stone. I'm happy, though, that the offers have come pouring in. I hope it's a blessing. Sri Iskandar is beginning to look better. To buy or not to buy? To accept or not to accept? Can I have an ice-cream sundae and mull over it or should I go straight to the cleaners?

Bengang

Aku pegi deposit cashier's order kat machine. Boleh ke?
