I teach many laws of physix to my students but the most powerful of them all has got to be Murphy's law: when things can go wrong, it will go wrong!

yup, that's exactly what happened today while i was teaching 304... as usual, i showed part of the movie (Initial D) to the class as part of my teaching of kinematics. As always, i will usually pause at the right moment to end a section of the movie so that i can switch back to teaching the class. for today's lesson, i did everything according to plan but murphy's law strikes at the wrong time!! when i pressed the pause button, it did not respond and jump ahead to the next scene and pause at that instead! And guess what!? the next scene starts off by showing the cover of a magazine that the lead actor's "dirty-minded" father would usually look at! it showed a woman clad in a red bikinis... omg! and the scene just pauses there and refuses to move on! my face turned as red as the bikinis on the magazine cover and i suddenly wished i am an ostrich who can dig a hole and bury my head inside! what can be worse than that?! a senior teacher happened to be around to observe my lessons today! oh man! that's really the ultimate! :P

when i continued my lesson later, my students started teasing when i used a RED pen to indicate a portion of a graph and they just can't stop giggling and making mention of the whole thing! total embarassment! it's really one of my worst days as a teacher and I admit defeat to the power of Murphy's law! :P
