This shall be a random post! =)
I was just thinking about something my teacher in P5 told the class. Mrs Low (pronounced as "Lao") taught us Math and Science - interesting how primary school teachers can teach you like, every subject =X So anyway, the thing I remember is this.
"Good teachers are stupid people. If they're not stupid, then they can't explain properly and you won't understand."
I used to think that was ridiculous, but I now realise how true that is. Good teachers aren't stupid, they're just not brilliant, ingenious, or exceptionally smart. To be able to explain concepts well, they'd have to have worked out those thoughts themselves to be able to explain it to students who don't catch on fast enough. The teachers I know who are brilliant in their fields can't teach for nuts. Everything becomes so cheem and complex and nobody understands what they talk about. Mmm.
Me no brilliant = GOOD TEACHER =D =D =D
Anyway, I was reading "Princess to Princess" or something (I just went to look at the title 20 seconds ago and I've forgotten it =X) for devotion and something kinda struck me. It was basically talking about God's protection of Hagar, Abraham's/Sarah's mistress who gave birth to Ishmael. The line that hit me...
Her faith was weak, and she didn't even look around for God, because she was more focused on her circumstances.
I think I tend to do that, quite a lot. Get distracted by things I go through and try to rely on my own wisdom. Mmm.
Oh and Jing Ming uploaded a whole album of Hai Sing Choir photos on Facebook! Totally lovely :) I really miss Hai Sing Choir. It's really a family there. I kinda miss it now really, I enjoyed practices and the people so much :)
And lastly, I've got this new-found favourite song. Have yet to memorise the lyrics. :) And me gonna watch "Up!" soon =) Yay yummy yummy :D
Breathe - Taylor Swift
I see your face in my mind as I drive away
Cause none of us thought it was gonna end that way
People are people, And sometimes we change our minds
But it's killing me to see you go after all this time
Music starts playin' like the end of a sad movie
It's the kinda ending you don't really wanna see
Cause it's tragedy and it'll only bring you down
Now I don't know what to be without you around
And we know it's never simple, Never easy
Never a clean break, no one here to save me
You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand
And I can't breathe without you
But I have to breathe
Without you, But I have to
Never wanted this, never wanna see you hurt
Every little bump in the road I tried to swerve
But people are people, And sometimes it doesn't work out
Nothing we say is gonna save us from the fall out
It's two a.m.
Feelin' like I just lost a friend
Hope you know it's not easy,
Easy for me.
PS: The tune's really nice =D
