Its MICE(Meetings, Incentives, Convention and Exhibition), today.

Finally, it does not feels like HTM(Hospitality and Tourism Management), which makes the lesson pretty interesting! Just imagine having TWO DIFFERENT MODULES, going through the same CONTENT.

I realized that if I want to sleep early tonight, I will have to blog now or it would be too late for me since im teaching till 10 pm. Its tough but well.. I guess its all worthwhile after seeing your kids excel, be it in terms of life or study. :)

Just some food for thoughts.

I saw a RP Faci couple kissing each other goodbye at the E2 Lobby. Im not going to rant about SCHOOL RULES OR PDA(public display of affection).

Personally, I felt quite shocked and also at the same time touched by the heart warming scene. Questions start to form in my head and I begin to realize how much courage and love is needed for a couple at their age(around mid 30s) to display their love and affection in front of strangers, not to mention that they may be their students.

Would you do it? Holding hands of your love, even when you are old and grey, kissing each other in front of your grandchildren?

In a RELATIONSHIP, most people would have LOVE, but not COURAGE.

Zawi told me about the video Janie Leong showed her class, where people lived in poverty and that even lead to them GARBAGE from the RUBBISH BIN.

Its not special since in countires such as Africa, hundreds and thousands of people dying each day due to starvation.

But it was a rude awakening when she told me these people actually PRAYED, thanking GOD for their "FOOD' before they eat.

Call it whatever you want. Dumbstruck, Taken Aback, Speechless or Confounded.

The FAITH that they have is so profound. Something which normal people would not realize. I do not have any religion, but i do believe in "upper power", but still, i do not think that i would not waver at times like that...

And today is our 3rd mth anniversary. Without any acknowledgment nor affection, my mind began to wander. Could he be nonchalant and unfeeling? Could I had done something more? Or I am as guilty as he was? My Heart seems to drift further and further away. I read the poem that I had written for him, "与你分离的第九天，若我把你的脸渐渐忘记，我会努力提醒自己，我爱你...", all of a sudden, these string of words just lost their meaning.. I realized that could not understand or relate to love anymore...
