Curiosity killed the cat

Another short entry.. 


Why?


Because I'm lost and afraid.


I'm supposed to share something wonderful today but ended up with this title because of the movie showing in HBO tonight, '127 Hours'!


I admit.. I'm a scaredy-cat.  I hate watching movies or stories that show someone torturing and cutting themselves up.  Yet this type of video clips are so famous in You Tube nowadays. (not that I'm saying I watch it but accidentally saw it.. sadly to say)


However, I totally respect the real hero, Aron Ralston for his bravery.

I'm having a major headache, having to peek at this movie and type the entry at the same time.  


Curious to watch the ending.


Time out for me..

Mentor Mentee

A short entry for today.
My school organised a Mentor Mentee Programme.
A student requested to be my mentee.
I accepted without official agreement yet.
The student always enters the staff room to see me; educational purposes or just a short hello.


Yesterday, Teacher's Meeting: 
1. no students in the staff room
2. teacher plays an important role (be a good example for students)


Today, meet the student in the staff room.
Asked him to go outside and told him nicely not to see me at my table.
Instead, asked for me and I'll come.
Student's reaction; negative.
I said I am following rules (being a good example) so students should follow rules too.
Student's reaction; "It's okay teacher, I will not bother you again!!"
Student went away.
Teacher's reaction; blur.


Moral of the story; I need a MENTOR!

Just A Gleam

I pulled you up when you were down,
I made a joke when you started to frown.
I questioned when you were not around,
I mended your heart when you fell to the ground.


So when you go a little further,
take your time to think of me.
When your luck has gotten better,
give a piece of gleam to me.





After nearly a year of silence, collecting pieces of memories, perhaps it is time to share some.
A pat on the back for those who have made a difference in others' lives.
