back on the road again...

this week at work, i taught this holiday english remedial course for primary 1 and 2 kids. once again, i love enthusiastic kids who scream out answers and are eager to answer me, although the answers are all wrong and probably blind guesses. the worst students are kids who just don't care about their work. there was this pri2 boy whom on the first day, i found pretty well-behaved, and he did his work well and got most answers right. however on the 2nd day of the remedial, he started day-dreaming. 3rd day he got worse. he totally wasn't even paying attention. i could be talking to him personally and saying flip to page 3 and paragraph what line what, and he would be totally oblivious and pretend i wasn't even there. he even wrote gibberish on his answer scripts. just random letters that aren't even words. and he's not even really weak in his work like the others. he's just plain lazy.

i was just really troubled about some things again. and then i came upon those forwarded videos on facebook. it's about this man who is dying and he goes around giving lectures about how to live your life. it's really inspirational. makes me feel that all my troubles are super trival and superficial even. we really must live our lives well, work hard and don't complain, have fun in everything we do, and don't blame people who nag at us for hours because they care enough to spend so much time nagging you. also, have dreams and fulfil them. there're many more things there. go find it. i probably have it on my superwall also.

yesterday was zac's bday. went to swenson's to have dinner. but that's only a small part of the celebration. i planned something better for another day when we have one full day =) stay tuned.

night!
