Being a teacher

It's been a month and a couple of weeks since I've been a teacher in my primary school. It hadn't been easy, or rather I'll say it can never be. Kids are cute, adorable, but when it comes to educating them, you need to be really serious to them, especially when you have to face about forty kids at once, which only makes it harder. They are still too young to understand the importance of education, so its just simply useless to tell them why are they studying. Hence, in order to keep them under control, you know, kids, that canes come in. Of course, I've resorted the milder way, but it didn't turn out fruitful, and to be efficient in finishing the course, I too, had become one of those who turned to using cane.
I don't really thought I would be using it so frequently, but sometimes I just have to, against those more than just mischievous kids. However, myths do happen. Some of my co-workers just doesn't seem to need to punish to make the kids listen to them, maybe the aura around them are scary enough. But whichever way it is, it does take quite a lot of skills to be a teacher, because mere patience isn't enough to change somebody, or you might not live long enough to see it. There are a lot of fun in teaching kids, but don't ever think of doing it just because its a job, do it only for the sake of those kids, and that, is a truth for a good teacher.

when you're bored, go hit on something really really hard

It was just another day watching movie with some of my friends in a cinema in a shopping mall. The movie was great, but it won't be enough to kill all of my boredom after being kept in my house for weeks. Then, we went to play arcade games in that shopping mall. I knew that place very well, but never really thought of trying those games cause I always thought that those games are for kids( though they actually are). Those games were simple, as it should be for kids, like cycling, riding a machine horse, throwing balls at a video screen to hit objects that appear, hitting crocodiles that came out... The secret to gain the most fun when you're playing such games is-play them as crazy as you can! When you hit something that wouldn't break( you won't have the guilt), all the stress and formalities are gone, in a second. Most of all, it costs only one buck! Afterall, happiness is cheap!

The coming embarrassment

Ok, here's the story. Days ago, I got a letter from my high school for an annual gifting day for those who aced their exam last year. As an alumni, I am supposed to go and I did feel like going because they (the school) could be giving away cash instead of ordinary souvenirs. However, I had my driving lessons that day, and it can't be postponed unless I agree to pay for the management fee, which I definitely won't. Furthermore, I couldn't find anyone to represent me in that occasion, cause almost none of my friends is going to attend the ceremony. So, what can I do? To keep myself away from any troubles, I chose not to go, even if I have to forget about the envelope, the one with money in it.
The story didn't go as I planned, when my mom found out that I chose easy over money, what a realistic family, I know...... I do love money, but sometimes I just don't care about it when it takes a lot of effort to attain it. Whatever, the problem now is that my father is asking me to go back to my school to ask for my share, even though I've told him that is remotely possible. I can't even imagine how embarrassing that can be!!!

The vague roads...

It's been months since my graduation from high school. It has never felt good, cause I'm still waiting for replies from the universities I've applied for. Maybe there isn't one for me, and yet I have to wait for at least another month to know it. My application might fail, and I'm very well aware of that, cause it happened a lot to me, no matter how assured I was. This time, I won't tell myself what I deserve, so that I won't have a reason to be disappointed.
People have dreams, and we are trying to achieve what we dream for. The thing that define us into two kinds is, some people are very clear about what they dream for, but others don't. I'm one of the later kind. I'll have totally no idea what can I do if I'm rejected this time, for this time the roads seem so vague to me, as it has never been there. This is the first time, in my whole life, that if I fail this, I cannot move on.
