开锁

成长.

是一个非常奇怪的过程.

它需要一把钥匙.

也许是风浪, 时间, 失望, 希望.

也许是妈妈的眼泪,
父亲的拥抱,
亲戚的唾弃,
老师的叮咛,
朋友的鼓励,
社会的眼光.

不同的钥匙, 产生不同的变化, 可好可坏.

我又是怎样的一把钥匙呢?

eeeeeee-learning

I hate e-learning.

I've always been someone who prefer to read on my own(on paper) or listen to someone deliver the information to me. The web serves as a last minute quick information directory, a download server; simply because I don't enjoy scrolling through pages and pages from search engines.

Are secondary school students ready for E-learning? I really wonder. Perhaps there'll be that handful who prefer reading information off the computer on a own-time-own-target manner, rather than have a teacher dung subject content into the sleepy brains.

Youngsters these days already spend a million hours on the web; dota, maplestory, and other web games. Yet another excuse to justify the RAM upgrade and 25" monitor; and isolate themselves from the realities of the world and hide in their virtual fantasies.

他...真的...走了...

经过两年的洗礼, 可说重建天日, 废掉了那个昏君.

淡淡的不舍, 残留在心底.

也许, 春天的到来, 是死而重生.
也许, 春天的到来, 只是下一个冬天的前兆, 的开始.

被污染过的大地, 是否还有如以往一般的生命力呢?
是否又能培育出另一批生力军?

浩然天地,正气长存!

明知道

"明知道, 爱你只是继续错, 为何还如此执着."

不爱你的人, 不适合的人, 还是趁早放手吧! 勉强可给于一线希望, 但却无法幸福.
难道非要他在与你做爱时, 喊出别人的名字, 你才甘心, 才满意?!?

一个人的心, 可以碎成多少片?

苦海无边,回头是岸.

"也许, 当一场梦, 梦醒一切都随风."

知师莫若徒

It feels funny, annoying and somewhat pleasing to hear a student finish a sentence for you when you are disciplining another student in class.

Funny: How did they know what I wanted to say?
Annoying: How could they know what I wanted to say?
Pleasing: They actually do know what I want!

Maybe they know my rubrics better than I do myself.

I haven’t been updating the blog lately due to an immense involvement with my Normal Tech kids. This is the exam week and I’ve been babysitting/tutoring/remediating many of their subjects, esp. Math.

I’m definitely more worried for them during this exam unlike previous years. It’s only barely another year to their N levels and they are still taking papers quite lightly. Believe me, if you’ve seen their academic standard, you would be gravely affected. Hence, all that nagging, scolding and monitoring.

I’m rather pleased with their Math Paper 2 today; looking on as I strolled past them while invigilating. All my days of hard work seem to have paid off a little. I’m expecting at least a 60% pass rate for that one.

The sweet scent of students willing to take the first step to put in time and effort in learning and later reaping the fruits of their labour is unbearably delicious. Yes, truly a rewarding experience for the 师傅 and 徒弟.

Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t reach to this stage in all smooth sailing glamour. Essentially, I had to risk increasing my chances of getting high blood pressure or cardiac arrest; scolding them harshly in a parental/paternal way can invoke pulsating gushes in your arteries.

And there’s still much work to do ahead.

I'm just so glad they are listening to me.

不测风云

Domy’s not going for the Japan trip? Sheesh, what a weird twist of events! I’m half wondering whether it’s because he suddenly 良心发现 or CFA ask him to 靠边站. Fortunately and luckily, that’s no big loss to the group since we are not playing Handel Concerto anyway.

Whichever the case is, at least I don’t have to be a passive smoker in Japan.

What's the problem?

I'm puzzled at the email response of me offering to be a helper in the Japan trip.

What's up with everyone? Please lah, I'm the one paying 2000 bucks to go and be helper, why everyone eye red red, talk so much? Not as if you paying for me and I going to Japan FOC.

If Hansiang can choose not to go, why can't I choose to go as helper?
