Today, I went for lunch with Jie Ren in the afternoon and as always, brother Kui and me ended up at different places and had to hunt for each other accenting the need for specific directions.
I went for the my Office's BBQ today and as expected it totally refreshed my mind. I was once again reminded what a wonderful place the office was with all the great people. I enjoyed setting up the fire and cooking togather with the rest as Ma'am Janny fanned my back--- so nice of her... :) Later on we played cards and I had some very intellectual conversations with some of the officers there, something that I've been subconsciously yearning to do for a very long time. At the end of the BBQ I was presented with a copy of my hard work when I was in the office on attachment, the RSAF 40th Anniversary Book. It was a moment of pride as I glanced at the very articles that I wrote. Salute to each and everyone of you...
I am going to be tutoring Ma'am Janny's son from next week. Really looking forward to that. My opportunity to do what I like to do, sculpt young minds. I believe people may have the smarts and talent to teach, but it is not within everyone's capacity to inspire and motivate one to learn , to excel. Many a tutor provide the fish but they never manage to teach the student the methodology of fishing. We fail to instill into our young that learning is a fun life long process that allows us to harness and exploit all the wonders of the physical realm and not just a tool that enables us to pass exams.
On the note of friendship, I want to comment that people reap what they sow. If you are nice to others and devote yourself into the friendship naturally people would look upon you as a friend. That said, it is not always as easy.
