24th May Cloudy

My condolences to the late Dr. Goh Keng Swee's family and friends. Your contributions and passing of your steel-strong will to the later generations, are something that will live on and be passed on to the next generation, and generations to come.




This is indeed an exciting year. Filled with the most interesting students I have ever had. When I read into more details of Dr. Goh, I have little wonder when his life story would ever be made into a movie. His story is one of a monolith in Singapore's history, which motivates anyone who yearns to become a better person, to himself and to others.

Last night, I met my Professor Ian from NTU at the Jurong Point's NTUC. I have never felt such great happiness in a long while, to be able to see my mentor, someone who have impact my life to the extend of changing me.

As an educator, every year is a constant challenge to me. To be able to help guide them, change their lives, and possibly lead them to their own ideals and expanding their horizons to the real world.

I may not be the best tutor out there, but I've never once thought I've not done my best. I might have slacked, or be complacent, but the lesson learnt will keep my fire burning.

To everyone out there, friends, students, and ex-students. I may not be a giant in your life, but it'll not stop me from giving in my best.


DDOJ:

"If there are any idiots in the room, will they please stand up" said the sarcastic lecturer.

After a long silence, one freshman rose to his feet. "Now then mister, why do you consider yourself an idiot?" enquired the lecturer with a sneer.

"Well, actually I don't," said the student, "but I hate to see you standing up there all by yourself."




Adios!
