Instructor Goh

i feel very proud today.

You know how people are always telling you, that teaching is the greatest profession on earth, because you are able to see your students grow up into mature, thinking adults? because you know that you have been actively involved in the molding of your student's impeccable character?

*reminds you of the MOE commercials, doesn't it?*

owell... i may never be able to inculcate proper academic knowledge in a person (seriously, a person either can or cannot shoot a rifle; no amount of training will make him do otherwise). i, however, have done something great today: tommy passed his driving test today. i'd like to think i was part of something special. many years down the road, when i see tommy driving his mercedes/ferrari/BMW along orchard road, fetching his kids to school, i'd like to think that i have something to do with that. i have made a man a better man than he was. how many ppl can claim to be able to do that??

*if you beg to differ, and wish to say otherwise, don't. because even though you want the truth, you know i can't handle the truth*

owell... now i can only pin my hopes on samuel to do likewise. to be able to do me proud. they say the greatest joy in education is to be able to see your student stand and think on his own feet. well, for me, the greatest joy for me will come the day i can let samuel drive on his own without my hands on the emergency brake.

*kidding...*

right. did i mention that i just rubbished my take home mid-term for my southeast asian politics class? spent quite some time on it, but all efforts went to naught. dealt quite a blow actually. think i might actually get a b-/c for this class. now that's a horrific thought. sigh.

1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and BLOW!

*oh, btw, did u know that if you sigh, u kill an angel in the sky? wow ok i din expect that to rhyme. but anyway, thanks mother jiaying for teaching me that. that's why everytime i sigh, i gotta resuscitate the angel with CPR*

aight... think i'm vegetating soon... going to try to finish reading my soccer book tonight. will review it on this space soon.

*btw, did i mention that i JUST LEARNT what ~lol means!?? hah i used to think it was just something ppl type when they have nothing to say.*
