Teachers should always be engaged in a course that they find very tough – something for which they have little talent, in which they are natural strugglers. I learnt more about teaching from learning to drive (the first ten lessons or so) and trying to read the holy Qur’an in Arabic than anything else I’ve ever done – and most certainly the study of anything connected with literature or the English language.
And talking of taking on tough tasks, our squad strength was increased by one today, in the form of Azrul, a late transfer from Melaka. He joined us on a shopping expedition to Ampang Point, resulting in the purchase of a number of books at the kid-friendly Popular Bookstore there. Since we had been to Kinokuniya at Suria KLCC yesterday and emerged, miraculously, without a single tome being purchased, today’s outlay was inevitable. Pictorial evidence of yesterday’s outing is available above.

Hence the silly idea of taking a basic degree in the sciences, and desperately scrambling to become a civilised person thereafter. *grin*
That's on a somewhat larger scale than I had in mind. But elegantly strolling through the halls of civilisation strikes me as more accurate than desperately scrambling.
Mr Connor! FINALLY a picture of you! Aku memang merindui wajahmu :D
Hope you're having happy holidays too.
