Life Story

Isn't amazing how many pple come to me and pour their sorrows given that I am in no position to comment not have acquired the sensitivity to counsel.

To them, I always say move on.

But life always operates on binary structure or at least most of the time; that's where the trouble starts

Memories

I was looking at the watch and memories flooded

Grace

I cannot help but somehow I feel tt some pple r juz there to grace the occasion

Practical Application

He's teaching her arithmetic,
He said it was his mission,
He kissed her once , he kissed her twice and said,
"Now, that's addition."
And as he added smack by smack
In silent satisfaction,
She sweetly gave the kisses back and said,
"Now, that's subtraction."

Then he kissed her, she kissed him,
Without an explanation,
And both together smiled and said,
"That's multiplication."
Then Dad appeared upon the scene and
Made a quick decision.
He kicked that kid three blocks away
And said; "That's long division!"

Graduation Once more

Been a million years since I posted, so I thought I would try posting this evening as my roomie tries to squeeze the comfort out of his bolster right behind me.

So it was nostalgia as I rushed off after tuition to meet coco and wanz at holland for late dinner. Qianfu did us great honours by showing up (very unlike him).

Anyhow coco asked the question that many would be asking in time to come.. What job should I look for? How? *panics*

Years of training and education and bam, it's all over. I can feel it even as Im being professionalized into an educator. Juz a couple mths more and I would be done with my training and what next? a professional educator emerges, ready to change lives and the world, a world shaker and a history maker.. or would I fade into history, no not just the physical me, but every trace of the human soul, faded to integrate with the zillions of events and things going on..

You were just a fleeting moment in the revolution of time and space.

Life

So I walked down vicissitudes of life, the lingering stench persisted as incessant reminders to the learning journey that I had undertaken.

Undergraduate studies have been inadequate in preparing us for mess. Life is a mess. We are not entitled to expect anything from life. Life is not fair. Everything does not balance outin the end. Life happens, and we have no control over it. Good things, bad things, ugly things happen to us day by day, hour by hour, moment by moment. Our certs are lousy against life. Don't expect anything. Erase all life expectancies. Just live. Our life is over as of today. At this point in time, we have grown as tall as you willever be, we are physically the fittest we will ever be in our entirelife and we are probably looking the best that we will ever look. This is as good as it gets. It is all downhill from here. Or up. No one knows.

So what should we do? We will find our own niches. I don't imagine people will need to look very hard. By this time people should know what one's obsessions are. If you enjoy showing off your knowledge and feeling superior, you might become a teacher.

Met wanling n yenghong for dinner. They were mugging.. ah.. good old days of mugging..
