morning … i was busy finishing the exams draft of INTI FINAL EXAMS, and still got one more to set — the RESIT paper. The due date is next week. No joke … it’s a lot of works teaching in INTI(without bonus or increments for past 6 yrs!) … besides the cramped staff-room(and the stress amounted by Mr Wong, the boss). We have to set two full-set of exams paper, final and resit, every semesters(3 semesters x 2 = 6 sets!) WITH FULL SOLUTIONS given! That is only for one subject you are teaching. An average lecturer will teach about 3/4 subjects, which explains WHY many left(including the lazy me! Haha) the college. The number of students has increased after i left(as i chased away students? LOL).
Phew! In a way, i m glad i made the right decision to come to Sinaran … it is greener here. Another 2 or 3 of my ex-colleague friends interested to join IS. Once we move to new campus, we will need more teaching staff(and admin too). Perhaps, the proposal of INTI combined with IS might come true, one day? Then, i will hv many friends in my working envirionment! At least they know and have accepted how ‘authentic’ i am! Haha. *blush*
Mother day’s gone … phew. I will be very stressed with all these human-made days!! You name it, they will have it … from the Jan1st–new year day … then valentine day, mother’s/father’s day easter day, wesak day coming, of course keamatan day(which they do not menuai anymore … but use this opportunity to celebrate, anyway! More on that before end of May), oh yes … birthday! Hmm … friendship day? The school will have graduation day, open day, xxx day. Arrghhh … we have "pi" day on March 14th(pi = 3.1415 …), whatever day …
oh yes, i forgotten … teacher’s day is coming! Hmm … How many of us really have the REAL feellings for all these so-called special days we are celebrating?! Call me what-ever you want, i do not think so we deserve all the celebrations without further understanding of the significance of the days! Hmm … married people will HAVE TO remember their wedding anniversary … etc etc … yes, anniversaries are those days you supposed to remember, otherwise you will be seen as stupid ‘ignorant’?? Haha
Trading : The super-bull on steel-related counters. I missed the boat by selling off my Kinsteel, and i hv been eyeing LionInd/LionCor for 2 months, yet what is holding me back from going into it? silliness … inexperienced shown! Sigh. I will learn from this, hopefully. Steels companies are up by 30-60% at the moment after the announcement of the abolishment of the ceiling price of steel! Hmm … i m too busy to read my tonnes of news … perhaps, i need time to pause. Will give KLCI a total skip till next month. There is someone saying another correction will be done in june/july. Should i wait till then and get back into the market?
Beeeeep ….
Bowling
This Thu i will be available to play at Sutera! Yeah!! I will take the game as a practice, then i need to squad for next weekend final. I think i hv a fair chance to be in top 10. Aiming high to be in top 5, i need to maintain 190 average for the 10-pin(over 6 games) and then go all out to score in my favourite 9-pin tap(another 6 games). But, firstly … i need to qualify. I think i should be very high socres to qualify. I will try that this weekend.
Thomas Cup/Uber Cup
I read that Korean team "gave" up their group ties in order to increase their chances(not to meet china or indonesia). Manipulation in sports? Hmm … where is the sportmanship?? I watched last night the women Uber team beat the Japanese! Malaysian ladies surely improved. They will be up against the Koreans next. China surely will win the UBER cup, anyway. NO excitement in Thomas or Uber cup as only a few countries being able to really give CHINA challenges. Malaysia has an outside chances to upset China?!
Liverpool
With MU crowned the EPL champ again, everyone is talking about the clash in Moscow. I was reading in Liverpool’s website that they are selling many ‘old’ timers. Crouch, Riise, Kewell, Pennant, … who will they bring in to make the REDS stronger next year? Will they be fighting for 4th spot again?
EPL is another boring league(Keegan agreed) as only a few RICH power-house dominating the top spots of the league — it will be MU, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool again next season. So predictable that it does not generate interest in me … more reasons to give EPL a total skip next season!!
Running
I jogged last week … i can feel a sharp pain on my left knee. Yeah … i gave up marathon/walkaton 10yrs ago after i injured my knee … doctor said i need to do ‘minor’ operation on it (that minor ops will cost me around rm3000+). So, I took up bowling instead. Well, i dont think so i will take part in KK first marathon in OCT. But, the 7k run by the Sutera should be interesting …
TEH
