Begins with a single step. (Lao Tzu) Indeed after a long period of inactivity (of blogging, not of life, my life was far from inactive!) mired with with bulls and bears, I finally had the courage to look back at the past 7 months of my life. Consider this a Q1 & Q2 report if you will, for I must admit that the journey so far has been rough and difficult. And I forsee many bumpy hurdles ahead, some that will test the pinnacle of what I am myself. Nonetheless, the lessons that I will learn from these tests will be priceless and beneficial to me. As NUS beckons next week, here is a look at the hectic life that I chose to follow.
On Relief Teaching: Teaching in a gifted school was certainly an eye opener for me. Some students really challenged me intellectually (well done!) while others gave me a tough time. I really had a blast with 2B,D,E and K in particular. For my other 4 classes, I still enjoyed teaching you guys (C with all your nonsense and J with your tricks and stunts). I'm sure most students under me had a great and fun time studying Chem right? The only bond after all is James Bond... MM 08 was a great 1 week getaway in which I saw both the good and bad side of students. So to those of you who were inspired by me (I hope there are some), keep on enjoying Chemistry (though I'll probably teach Physics in the future...)
On Gaming: There were a few new games that I played after my december review. Top on the list was GTA IV. That game is absolutely gorgeous. I fell in love with it straight away. Everything in that game was solid. Definately contender for the game of the year award man! Of course there was Kane's Wrath, the expansion to Tiberium Wars. A bit short on the storyline but an enjoyable game nonetheless. Battlefield B Company reminded me of NS and all the war movies I've seen. Destructable environments, check. Explosions, check. Humour? Check!
On Financial Education: This is a new and recent area of interest that I had to force myself to start immediately and from scratch. It came about due to some financial issues at home and also from the fundamental question, "If we are going to learn it later when we work, can we learn it now?" It stems from the question I ask myself before I decided to learn how to drive. However, unlike driving, Financial Education is limitless. We can never ever master financial education, but we can be well prepared. Lots of people think investing is risky and saving is safe. I believe it's the opposite. I'm not going to waste my time explaining because I've tried to explain to my close friends and family members but not many believe this. Luckily I've found a group of friends who are fully dedicated, if not more so than me, in pursuing this cause...
