As one student said to me, gripping his crotch area in a sense of urgency.
Me: My dear, can you walk?
Student: Yes cher, why leh?
Me: You asked if you can go to the toilet, I was wondering what would restrict you from going.
Student: Eh I can walk la cher, so can go ar?
Me: You can, but doesn't mean I allow you to go.
Student: But cher urgent!
Me: Ask me properly first
Student: Cher, MAY I PLEASE go to the toilet? *innocent face*
Me: Yes you m...*student rushes off to the toilet*
Honestly if you asked me what I wanted to do with my life when I had just graduated from poly, I'd just give you blank stare and give you the most uninspired answer ever, "don't know leh, work lor..."
And if you were to go into specifics on where to work, I'll just probably ignore you.
But I knew deep inside, I wanted to nurture people. So step one was to be a medic in NS. Nurturing? Not exactly. But I had my opportunities and I enjoyed it. Step two join a camp company that's all about leadership. I have to admit, I picked up a whole lot of stuff during my time as a camp facilitator, be it the good things and the bad. Step three, work with students who are passionate(or semi-passionate, or, ok, bo-chap) about band. And through all these experiences, I believe I am ready for my next step. Will it be my final step? Honestly I have no clue. But what I do know, is that every step, is a stepping stone towards a greater sense of satisfaction in nurturing. I really hope to touch even more lives and improve myself even further. =]
In other news, I've finally registered for bike license. I'm giving myself 3 months to pass my tests and get myself a bike by the 4th month. Aiming for that Yamaha FZ16. Oh and I've stopped bothering about things that has to do with the matters of the heart. It's tiring, draining, and just stupid. Will be focusing my energy on the friends and close friends that I have now, pumping in lots of positivity and spreading more joy to the world.
Till the next time, Mr Taufiq signing off...
