7th Loh Kong Chai’less day

7th Loh Kong Chai’less day – 2317

Today… it shall be a short blog. Saya punya peanut otak not functioning today already… shutting down. I survived today on coffee….man…what will I ever do without it!

As usual, went to teach this morning up to 12.45pm. My lovely student in the middle ffk me, so I had 45 minutes of sitting, standing around reading Female Magazine. Learnt something from the articles there.

I never knew that Kissing makes u lose calories also. Seems that for every 5 seconds of kissing, u are losing 12 calories. It seems to exercise yr face muscles, releases some stuff into your body which de-stresses you, makes u happy (the way they say hugging makes u de-stress also). Oh man… I’m definitely deprived of it right now. Especially last night after I finished all my classes and my work back alone in office… really wanted to find my Loh Kong chai to hug hug. For the mean time… Mr Dophin will have to be the substitute.. But not syok also. Mr Dolphin not as tough, not as macho, not as big, not as fit, and do not smell like my Loh Kong Chai at all.

Waa, I tell you…yesterday after all the havoc, I went home and came online awhile and then attempted to go sleep… and somehow, cannot sleep!. Ah…dunno if never talk to my Loh Kong Chai cannot sleep, or it is because of the coffee, or it is because he misses me (hehehe), or maybe cos I missed him too much cannot sleep, mayb it’s cos I deprived of hugs and kisses. Wa.. already so super tired, and cannot sleep. The last time I looked at my close it was 1am++++++. And guess that was about the time I managed to fall asleep.

This morning woke up with very small tiny eyes. But anyway, teaching today is ok’ler.. at least got some good news to entertain me. In March I sent 3 students in for theory exam. Rohit and Roshan for Grade 5 Theory and also Nicole for Grade 3 theory. Rohit got Distinction for Grade 5, and the highest of them all somemore. What made me super duper proud was, he actually beat Andrew (the super duper gifted star-student of SIM) by a few marks. It was greatttt….. Nicole however, scored the lowest among all the Grade 3 theory students. Hahaha… Anyway, this word is created that there’s Yin and Yang, Good Bad, Pro and Con. I have the chose to close an eye to the Bad, and choose to be happy in believing the Good. Haha, and that’s precisely what I did…

I actually dismissed my student early also, at 12.45am, then rushed home to eat some lunch, then off to Shivy’s house. Picked her up, (today I decide to drive) and we went to class. Both also complaining about how we’re going to survive the day.

Our UK lecturer was supposed to come in today, but he had some luggage problem, so the local lecturer took over. At first everything went ok, until when it reached the group discussion part…it sucks.

My group had shiv, and some India-mari guys. Shiv’s good looking guy was helpful and ok, but there’s 1 kurang ajar guy. Annoying guy…. Always wanna cari gaduh during discussions. Don’t wanna talk about him. Haih..mayb also cos they are young, all also after degree straight away do masters…so somehow the way the think and talk also different compared to the other ‘older people’ in class in terms on how they discuss and approach certain issues. That’s not the worst part, that Kurang ajar guy’s slang is totally un-understandable. Even shiv cannot read him. I mean, sometimes I just got to look at shiv, and she look at me, then we both precisely know what we both are thinking of. But we both tried to look at this annoying guy, talk to him, discuss with him, YET…we dun understand wat he talking.

What pisses me most was the last assignment.. Haih… it was an assignment to summarize up what we learnt in the past few days. Had to somehow come up with a story, and incorporate the words “creativity, innovation, creation and technology. More or less there’s 3 words. I expected the other groups to talk about ‘serious’ stuff and have a serious approach cos they all looks so matured, will definitely approach things different. One talked about smoking room’s in Jakarta, Don’t know how they used creativity, innovation etc etc there in Jakarta. Next few groups approach I don’t quite remember, one talked about bio-medicine I think.

I pulak, suggested to do something different, at least lighten up the class. I actually wanted MY story to go something like this “It is a dark, sleepy Saturday late-noon when Ms Sharmila told us to write a story about creativity. Our group tried our best to brain-storm, waiting for someone to come up on a single good idea which we can all expand on… but with no avail. After long avaiting, Shivy made a simple statement, she said that without creativity, none of us will be here.”

From there, I explained, my ‘story’ will go and talk about how right from the start, God created this universe, he created human beings. And from nothing (from the stone age), human evolved. They learn to create things, like making a cart with wheels so they can transport things from 1 place to another place. With a simple idea, and the need to have a thing which they can use to carry things from 1 place to another place, they made a cart. And from here, the idea expanded, with innovation, they start to make bicycles, car, trucks, aeroplane etc etc.”

And etc etc… Can expand on that and talk all about creative, innovation, technology mar…

Stupid kurang ajar guy, came and saw the draft which Shiv wrote, and say cannot cannot. Don’t know what he talking about also… He go and say, No No…first u need to decide what technology you want. You say about the technology, etc etc… I dunno what on earth he was trying to say. I asked for a story line, an idea of what the story is about, he is telling me HOW to write the story, without anything to write about. He said you need to show got technology. And how to use creativity… I don’t know how to click with him. He don’t understand me, I cannot understand him. Fine, then shiv also said, nvm…we change story. Kurang Ajar guy keep saying, tell me what you want to have, then build on it. Like let’s say you want a time-machine. Then talk about WHY you need a time machine. And how creativity comes into place etc etc. Ah…. I just don’t understand some people sometimes.

For a while also I think he got pissed off with me&shiv. He was talking in telegu with another guy, and looking annoyed. So I say let him present. He don’t want. Keep pushing it back to me. Said I am the one who is ‘creative’ and will have ideas on what to talk (I should have kept my mouth shut). He don’t let me use MY story, and yet he want me to present. I said I don’t wanna present, cos I don’t know what he want’s me to talk about. I cannot just talk about creativity and go on and on without any exaples, it beats the purpose of this whole discussion already mar. Cos everything was already explained by the lecturer, she wanna hear us implement this knowledge, not telling her back what she taught us.

End of the day, shiv came up with an even funnier story… She put her story as, when we were young, we were poor, no money to buy toys and games. We had to be creative to invent our own childhood games.

Based on this she asked me to present. Waaa… I tell you, I felt so pressured. How can I present something I dunno how to develop on. I mean, ok… invent our own childhood games… such us ????? (I’m clueless). And yet, they dun like my idea one human evolution. Since they said don't like my idea, I don't wanna press on to say present my story...and nobody else wanna suggest any story.

Haha, in the end, I sat there and kept quiet, insist I’m not gonna present anything, especially that games thing as it’s gonna make me look stupid. Prayed again and again that the lecturer will let us go… which she did!!! We kept telling her “not ready.”, in the end she let us go.. Phew!

Tomorrow I don’t wanna sit next to that guy…don’t ever wanna be his team-mates.

After the class ar..felt so exhausted, my eyes also burning already for some reason.

Came home, mom cooked porridge steamboat. Yummy…halfway eating, no electric current! And I finished my other half of dinner in candle night alone.

After that, followed mom out to Giant to buy groceries and then came home lepak lepak and start blogging till now.

Midnight is coming… wonder where my loh kong chai go…he didn’t reply my sms, and not online =( Missing very long d…
