I love nutang! the best blog host i have encountered so far! finally, i can customise my blog with ease! a little caught up learning how to customise so i kinda like disrupted my records of stuff happening in my life! so here's a rojak entry that comprises of all that i can rmb these couples of days:

most of the students seem to be mugging hard for the common tests... which is a good sign! :) Jia you people! before you know it, it's gg to be over! a word of advice: what you do not understand, you do not own. what you own, you can deplore and use during exams or tests no matter what is the scenario! when it comes to subjects like physix, memorising is not the way! understand physix :)

a student pretended to be h** parent and called me in response to my demand to receive a personal call from h** parents regarding h** results, whom the student said are always working late. knew it right from the start but i decided to play along so that i can find out more about what is happening in the family and remind h** that studies should always be top priority, especially if the student don't come from a financially stable family. I really hope that the student can be like Farrah Gray who came from a poor, single parent family and work hard with sheer determination to become who he is today (click on his name to read more)! anyway, the student still do not know that i am not "deceived" by h** and i will see what can be done to help! h** parents, i realised, are too busy and tired making ends meet... a scenario that reminds me of my parents, who worked so hard to support my education and i was so foolish to have wasted my time and their money away when i was younger and not live my life to its fullest! we have come a long way since the days when we all squeezed together in a rented room! i am so glad that i came to realisation when i was about 17 years old, the day i accepted Christ into my life and He has ever since made a radical change in my life! :)

my WISH^toyota came true on 15 Aug 2006 @ 7:10pm! yup! I finally obtained my new car! very satisfied with it so far! thank God for His provision!
money sense: buy a car that is suited for your need first rather than for your taste! cars are always a liability (that means it will always depreciate in value!) so it's not worthwhile spending money making your car look like those models in Tokyo Drift, 2 fast 2 furious! sell your car before it turns 3 cos it will depreciate much more in value after that and most cars these days start to break down easily when it crosses 3 years old! It's applicable here in S'pore, not sure about other countries!

learnt this from my knowledgeable wife:
do you know how the term "white elephant" came about?
there is really such a thing as a white elephant that is beautiful but difficult to maintain bcos of its consumption rate! in the past, countries actually send white elephants to their enemies as gifts, in disguise to wear out their resources! what a deceiving move! :P

showed this MOTIVATIONAL video to my students to encourage them: note that the word "EVERYDAY" is repeated so many times! passion is not a once for a while kinda of thing! it's all about living it out passionately EVERYDAY! :)
