Random bits.

Entering the 5th month of being in the education field.
I am always a quick learner,
so nothing beats me down at this moment.
I am still fine although thousands of my body cells die every single day.
Some who are ignorant might think that my job is dull.
Let me tell you this,
teaching is not an easier task than engineering or handling a business.
It requires consistency, intelligence, willpower, and A LOT OF patience.
I dare you to teach for a week, and can still say it is an easy job after that.
Those who say teaching is boring, you can't be any more wrong.
Every day, interesting stuff happen in the school,
which we, teachers, can laugh about for a week.

Minions were given out with every McDonald's Happy Meal.
Just like Snoopy and Hello Kitty, 
people all over the country are crazy about them.
People queued up for 2 hours still not getting the minions, 
the minions were sold out within 3 hours,
some people even brought trolleys to get minions.
Seriously, what is wrong with the world right now?
I mean, it is still reasonable if it were all the kids who get crazy about toys,
but now adults fight each other just to get minions.
Some friend of mine even drove to a farther McD just to get the toy.
GET A LIFE, DUDE.
Am I the only one who do not give a shit about getting a McD minion?
After all they are only plastic toys that are slightly bigger than a tadpole.

Reading mojo is back.
Picking up a new book today.
Every time I open a new book, it lifts my mood,
because it means that there is one less book in this world that I have not yet read.
Nevertheless new books are released all the time.
When a book is ticked off on my to-be-read list,
at the same time, hundreds of new books are released.
Always, too many books to read but too little time.
And every time I am down, I buy books.
My new-book shelf is full ALL THE TIME.
In need of a new and bigger bookshelf,
but there is no more space in my room.
The hugest first world pain.

I always find a balance in reading.
Like when I am stressed, I read something light and fun to read,
such as fantasy and chick-lit.
A reminder to all readers: you must not engage too much in a story.
A reader who read too much fantasy could never come back to the real world again.
Just like a gamer who does not socialize because he lives in his gaming world.
If you read too much romance, you might think that fairies do exist,
and one day, you might get cuckoo. Lols.
That is why I choose my reading materials carefully.
If I am reading fantasy, next I will change to read something closer to life,
such as thriller/suspense/chick-lit.
If I am reading self-help, my next read will be lighter,
so I will choose fantasy or action.

Sorry, I babbled too much about books.
It's because there are lesser readers nowadays.
I can hardly find a person who loves reading as much as I do.

It is in fact a very sad thing.
