Thougth it was just 2 days ago when we greeted Happy New Year...

Its 26th Jan 2010 and moving, moving really fast! Before we realise, its the end of January and then comes Feb, CNY and ... another month passed. Really fast when one is busy.

Work has been easy since I have prepared most of the lessons and repetition is a breeze though on-going updating does take up some time. Latest 'craze' is to put the lessons in video format so that they are easily accessible and also available 24/7, anyday of the year.

Still very much would like to learn to create a website. Looking for someone very good at teaching and can teach what I desire to learn. That someone must be willing to design his/her lessons to my pace of learning and not be 'draggy' of the required lessons.

In this cyber world, there are tonnes and tonnes of things that one can and should learn. Of course it is impossible to learn all, but at least the ones which are relevant to one's work or life.
To be 'in' is no more an easy thing to do, unlike those days where one just have to join in a club or two and then life moves around those clubs or the familiar activities. One gets outdated real fast nowadays.

Students are very updated, so to keep them abreast we teachers, must first be a step ahead of them. Not easy though. There is the question of generation gap, which is something very difficult to overcome due to differing interests and likings. Nevertheless, a compromise should be reached.

Was forced to listen to some new songs, played during the ECA recruitment drive in college this afternoon. I cannot help but commented that those songs sounded like 'something was wrong with the player or it was coming from a 'broken' record that was being played. Then came the singing that sounded more of a cry for help. Well, things are different from those days. Yes, the generation gap, so they say.

Looking forward to another day where I can share my mathematical knowledge with my students. Dreading the coming soon test where there will be lots of marking thereafter.

Till then,...
