Christmas and the Hols

It's the time of the year again where the routines repeat. Cleaning are done around the house. Lights and decorations are put up. Homes are well-lit at night, merry and bright. Food items are bought in vast quantities, for guests ans hosts consumption. Caroling and choir practices to attend. Shopping for presents and clothes for the festive season.

For this year, an extra item is added to the list of things to do. Passing the darn JPJ exam right after Christmas Day. Since it's a month of giving and loving, with the grace and mercy of God, I need to pass. Nothing beats owning a car of your own, driving around town to paint it red. Going anywhere you want without relying on other people. I think I'm slowly becoming a ah-ma speed junkie.

Ps: currently eyeing the purple automatic Perodua My-vi on display for my first car. Thoughts?

Need for speed

So, as I'm getting myself ready for my next driving class which will commence in like 1 hour, I began to realize that I'm much more relaxed compared to last week. I think I finally have got a hang of things and is making good progress (all except the speeding part). So, I'm gonna go there and enjoy myself, knowing that one day all the pressure of driving will slowly wean away. But the technicalities of driving is killing me! So many rules and stu*** techniques to remember when you park, stop and even reverse the vehicle. But all that is menial compared to the rush of adrenaline when you step on the gas to power a speeding Kancil. Imagine how it would feel when the car runs on much higher horse power. Magical!

Home

Nothing is sweeter than being back home. Purely because you can start being a slob again really makes me happy. On a second note, my "Need for License" classes will begin soon. Pressure!

Clarity

This is where some of us clearly belong

So near yet so far

Looking at the calendar makes me yearn for it all to be over. Sometimes, I wonder if everything we're doing now is enriching and making me grow. Some of the courses and activities got me thinking, about my career and life in general. But quite frankly, enough is enough. Just because we constantly make ourselves available for lectures and courses, that doesn't guarentee that we'll be amazing teachers in the future.

And reading pages and pages of government acts and all these red tapes for government services is making me sick. Frankly, why can't they have given us all this earlier? And what's with completing assignments before the course on the assignments even begin? How is that any way a realiable and valid form of testing? I guess that's what you get when the people sitting on those high chairs have no basic foundations in the business that they are trying to change. Want to be a minister of education? At least get a degree in education and teach for a minimum of 10 years. Experience the trade before you implement changes that would only be changed back to the "comfortable" method that brings you predictable results. Nobody grows without trials and tribulations. Great men comes from the failures that they experience because failures can humble a man.
