it's a shock to wake up from your bus ride and see your secondary one geography teacher in the same bus as you, facing you. (the exact same teacher who caught bernard reading fhm in class and started having panic attacks and hyperventilating whilst waving the said magazine in the air, looking all hysterical and shouting, "work of the devil! work of the devil!" it was a comical sight, really.)
well, i got a bigger shock yesterday when i was on board 61 and two senior citizens were snoggling each other. come to think of it, the bus i was on was bus 61 too.
but, that's really beside the point.
there isn't much point to today's post actually except that i really need to study for mrm because i am such a doofus and that my entire week is jampacked with varying activities of all sorts.
i took a group of primary one kids from griffith primary today to the esplanade. this is my first trail of this semester's holidays. esther said that the feedback i received was good but just that i needed to slow down in terms of explanation. that's nothing new, i guess. people who knew me long enough would have known that i talk like a machine gun.
but a girl cried on my watch today. she cried because i was going on too fast and she couldn't catch up. in her despair, she burst out crying and everyone, including me, crowded around her, trying to get her to stop crying and helping her to get back on track.
that got me thinking. how easy it would be to get anyone to solve any problem just by simply bursting into tears in my current phase of life and age. i think even if i cry till my eyes fall out of their sockets, people will just insist that i clear it up once i am done wallowing in my own misery. it's quite sad, really, to live in this age where ignorance is no longer an excuse. for that record, neither is stupidity.
it irks me to hear someone say "oh. i can't do it because i don't know how." so what if you don't know how. do i look i was born into this world equipped with skills of all sorts? don't know arh? then freaking hell go and learn lah! (or at least try to, as what i have been doing with flash and spss.)
but today had been a really busy day. after work, i had to do meet some clients for my ibp with serene, gabriel and paul. from the no man's land of ayer rajah crescent to the sleazy area of joo chiat, we have covered it all. it was an eye opener to see how an ad pitch is done and thankfully, everything went "very very very smoothly", according to serene.
took the train back to the west side of our sunny island to attend a briefing for my volunteer work stuff. glad to be involved and hoped that i will be able to contribute much to this time round's event.
sigh, till next time then. for now, it's really just me and the total errors that can be made during the process of doing research. :S
