Carpentry




Dear TomHa,
Something struck me recently... That I am not exactly as enthusiastic about my grades as what my other classmates are doing. I mean...They like freaking know how the module is tested, what is going to be the format for the examination, whether it is mcqs, essays or anything like that and projects in the middle of the sem are group based or individual-based, blah blah blah... Seriously, going by their standards, I am like the slackest person alive. I go onto CORS, look at the module listings, look at the description, see what they do, and the most enthusiastic thing that I had ever done is to THINK TWICE about taking that module. And if I like it and its tutorials and lectures and whatever else does not clash with my core modules and other commitments, I take it. No second question. Follow your heart...


A student just answered the most damning thing that I had ever seen in my entire in my life as an educator. Ahmad walked into the room and knew immediately that his mother had put on the air freshener in the house... What sense did he use to achieve this observation??Common sense... What.... I was so stunned... She is like mocking me....


Recently, I just spent a bomb renovating my brother's room, as I am about to move into it as my sister is growing too old to share the master bedroom with mom and dad. Hence, I had to move into my brother's room which is like bigger... How ironic... Anyway, it is almost complete... alright.. I admit that I started a long long time ago, but I procrastinated for a long time to get a working desk or table and finally, I settle for one of the tables in IKEA's Galant series. It is a wonderful table. Now my room looks so much like a office. And, as my lazy father would have done, in accordance with his Teach him to fish and he can fish FOR YOU So, I had learnt to use the drill, I can saw, I am now an uncertified carpenter, plumber, electrician, cleaner... The worst part is that my mother has unlimited wants for these professional services. Damn it, I want a son like me.


Sigh.. Just a side note... I want an arm like this...

Eh.. Hold on... It's mine!
Haha..

Happy New School Year!
