And that was when... My specs, as if trying to say, "Im right here, you fool!" went falling off my head, crashing to the floor. The sound was unmistakably loud. Its like this sharp "Ding!" I thought, "Thats it. Its broken into pieces." And I realised that all these while, I have not been having an extra pair for emergency cases. And then all the images of me having to go through the night without my specs flashed through. No reading, no watching television. Heck, I wun even be able to see the faces of my family members clearly. But no, its not dead! My dear specs! Its not broken at all. A miracle, what with the sound and impact. Though, its a little scratched now. But whatever yeah, bottom line is, its still wearable and I was so so glad. You can literally weigh my sigh of relief. Anyways, what in the world was I thinking not having an extra pair all these while? I always do! Maybe its time to switch back to contact lenses. But no, I dun think so. After those eye infection episodes I had a few years back, I now have a phobia of putting on lenses. Shoo, you! I was teaching Fariz this evening. Some of you may know that this is the 4th year Im teaching him and so far, this year, his competitiveness is showing starkly. After attempting some Maths questions, he was devastated to see that he got 6 out of 8 questions wrong and so what did he do? He threw a tantrum. I mean not at me, but at himself. He got all angry and peeved, I was like, "Wo-ho.. Relax!" I find it amazing to see students react this way especially so when they are doing well in school. Last semester, he was the top student of his level and its as though, that was insatiable. Im proud of his achievements thus far but I also hope that in other ways, he is developing well too as there is more to life than excellence in academics. But hey, who am I to say that ya, when all that matters in Singapore now is education. Quality education. But all in all, I will feel that I have failed if all that my students have is academic excellence but a negative contrast in their well being, emotional and mental self. These kids nowadays, they are indeed under a lot of pressure. Anyway... knock, knock! Its one more day to go! Although, Im not gonna get all excited. All im hoping for is there wont be rain so that I can watch the fireworks. :) Oh, btw, one my girlfriends, Shikin has started her online boutique.. So do go visit it at http://dcloset-obsession.blogspot.com/ Happy Shopping!
