Teaching is indeed a noble job
Being in the position to transfer knowledge and skills to the next-generation is a selfless task that usually does not reward sufficiently, save for the small amount of work satisfaction when your students are being obedient and attentive to your lessons

However, teachers are often under pressured to perform well. Personally I had a short stint of teaching primary school students with science and mathematics in Mandarin at a tuition centre, which I doubt I did a satisfactory job. At times, I even thought that I might impaired their understanding on certain subjects through my poor teaching.
"Did I teach the students well today? Do they understand the lesson?"
"Is this syllabus correct? Do I need to cover all of these in this short period?"
"Will the students perform well in the upcoming exam?"
"Why is these few kids so misbehaved? Why are they interrupting other students from studying?"
These are some of the questions that ran through my mind by the end of every workday.

Nevertheless, I believe that I could be better in teaching over time. Hopefully my current learning process would give me the chance to learn and be a better teacher to others.

Anyhow, Happy Teacher's Day.

May the great teachers in the world continued to be rewarded and motivated to carry on the noble job of educating the next generation of youngsters.

Megalomania

megalomania
· n. obsession with the exercise of power. Ø delusion about one’s own power or importance (typically as a symptom of manic or paranoid disorder).
- Oxford Concise Dictionary, 10th edition

I guess, for people who have been reading a lot
or been watching inspiring videos
or listening to motivational talks
may think that one day,
he or she may achieve the same success
that was mentioned in one of those sources
That is the true motive of those materials
which is to inspire others to achieve their greater potential

However, on the other end of the spectrum
there is a group of individuals
who may be delusional about one's own importance
which may result in further conflicts with other humans
and so I thought
as I was reading on the terror attacks in Turkey
and other historical events like the Bosnian War in the 90's
This could also be applicable to present events of the world
such as the aggressiveness of China in asserting their military prowess in the Spartly Islands

All this above is just some random sum-of-thoughts
as I sit in front of my laptop, thinking about my pesticide formulation works.

Vectors to the Heaven

Memulai Kembali

Through my reading on some of the writing by Viktor E. Frankl

I came to know the need to have a reason to live

Often, this may come as a commitment to responsibilities

such as one's family, friends and career

From a negative point of view, this may be a form of greed

But yet, this act of greed yields a sense of hope

Snow Song Show

So, knowing that there will be some awesome X'mas decoration in Singapore

I made my way across the Causeway

to take photos of them

Land of Glaze

Allow me to write a bit about Kluang -
a town that has accommodated me for 4 years and counting.



Above is a photo of the town hall
which is located right in the town centre.
It's a building named after one of the many sultans of Johor state.
Usually it's only occupied for some charity events
or stock-clearance sales.



Due to the coronation ceremony of Sultan Johor in 2015,
many parts of the town received upgrades and renovations,
mainly in the form of face-lifts.
The park next to the town hall
get two adjacent water fountains and brand-new toilets.

That's all for now.

Fan Wars: The Rise of the "Prosumer"

Gonna try to re-commit myself to consistent write blog posts
So I will write on random topics
particularly those relate to the song
on my playlist

So, the 89th Comic Market is being held at Tokyo Big Sight
As I write this post
The 2nd day of the event has ended
Fan artists, workers, cosplayers, fans, photographers, commercial retailers
all of these people would be on their way back home
to rest up for another day
because tomorrow would be the last day of an bi-annual event
