back home!!! :D

finally, i'm back home for Deepavali!! last year, my deepavali celebration was in Chong Boon. The second home at that time. But now, i'm back with my family!! cooooooool!!!!

the trip back here was tricky though... i bought the coach ticket two weeks ago and was promised a 3 seater coach at 9.30pm. The bus came at 11pm and the bus that came was a company bus!! BAS KILANG!!!! ganja. 10 hours journey in that 4 seater cramped up bus!! i was suffering to sit as my knees were knocking the front seat everytime the bus stopped. to add onto what has happened, i was asked to alight along the highway near my place. really a bumpy ride. had to call back home and dad came to pick me up!!

anyway, once i reach home, when i hugged my mum, all my anger and frustration eased off. mum's hug is the best!! now, i'm in the mood to celebrate Deepavali!!! HAPPY DEEPAVALI!!!!

busy week is over....

man, when u have 5 assignments to submit and 4 presentations in one week, u feel that the world is revolving very slowly. just wanna get done with it. i'm so much relieved now that my 5 assignments are done. phew!!!

now, i have one more lesson plan and one more 2000 words essay due next week. after which i'm off back home to celebrate deepavali!!! haha !! must celebrate to the max.

realized that my students are getting back their marks for chem and science. but i din have time to check on them. now that i'm a bit free, i can ask them or meet up with them. cool!!! what i need now is just a good sleep. to refresh myself. to compensate few nights' sleep. keep dreaming about my presentation. how bad can that be. hahaha :D

need a rest....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

motivation...

i watched a video on a talk given by a distinguish speaker, Mr. Adam Khoo. He's 33 and was a self-made millionaire when he was 26. He has gone through a lot of hard times before being at the summit. I would say he's one of the very successful entrepreneur in Singapore. and he deals with motivations.

he said that there are no concentration-deficit students. only boring teachers. well, i think i have to agree on that. However, when content is involved, it's also depends on the syllabus. and a teacher's performance must not merely judged by students' performances. There's only a certain limit to what teachers can do coz of time, workload and commitments.

another quote would be, u can't change what's happening to u, but u can change what's happening in u. This is a good line. if u want others to change, u have to change first. I dun think many of us understand this and we tend to blame others for everything. y are we giving the power to others?

it's was a good session watching his video. really inspiring. very few of us think the way he does. that's exactly y he is up there.

p/s when God closes the door, we say He's unfair. He never keeps the door locked and still gave us the choice on whether to go out or not!

Money.....

in this world, money is very important. but it's neither the most nor the only important thing in our lives. i dun understand some of them who worship money. Y r they becoming the slaves of money? money should be our friend not our boss!!!

i have met few who talk about money all the time. As in how much can i get; how less do i have to pay; i must get more money; if they are not paying, i'm not doing. if we dun put the money on the table, we cannot talk with them. i think in near future, i have to pay them to talk to them. Ganja!!!

Money is just a tool of business. i know how important it is to our expensive daily lives, but do not lose ur human touch and your humanity coz of it. all da best to all of you who worship money!!! think about others who appreciates money but knows how to live happily!

Anyway, Selamat Hari Raya to all muslims!
