Dear, I……

Ok.
I did what I was not suppose to do again.
Sigh….

 

I lost my phone for the 2nd time again in my life, minus 2 times being stolen. I swore I was being very careful… But, sigh.. This time, it dropped at the garden when I was busy shooting photo with Jane. I guess, it fell off from my tight pocket unconsciously. We both tried very hard to search around the suspected area, even talked to the workers but the result was expected.

 

I don’t think I deserve to use a mobile phone anymore. Probably I should just live a primitive life *smack myself*

 

One of the hardest moments is not to live without a mobile phone (I am living such a life now till I got back my number) but to inform le petit ami, (boyfriend in French) about the lost of his handphone.

 

My nervous system had already played its roles when the decision to inform the boyfriend came into my mind (surprisingly not to mum or dad anymore). I was imagining such a reaction:

 

*****

 

Me: Dear… Could I tell you something?
Calv: Yes my dear?

Me: Do you know you have such a charming smile?
*using the art of language I learned from Psychology*

Calv: Everyone knows that *smile*

Me: And, can I tell you another thing?

Calv: You can tell me anything, of course. What is it? *smile*

Me: Promise you will not be angry? *gulp*

Calv: I’ve told you that you can tell me anything right?  Tell me lah~

Me: Oohh.. Ok.. I have lost your handphone at the garden today. I… am.. sorry..

Calv: Say again?

*****

 

Those negative thoughts had conquered my mind and I could feel my heart beating furiously when the phone call received by le boyfriend. I have decided to bare the consequences so I am ready for the ‘say again’ moment.

 

To my surprise, he took it calmly and didn’t show any disappointment or anger towards the lost of his favorite phone. He even consoled me but at the same time advicing me not to use handphone anymore. Lol.. I’m joking. He advice me not to buy expensive phone in future.

 

I think I should. Or get an old phone like the bottle like one so that it is easily spotted when it dropped again. I guess, no one would be interested to stole such a bulky-out-dated-phone. Haha..

 

I am lucky to have such a caring and forgiving partner. This has reminded me about Dr. Randy Pausch on The Last Lecturer when he has reminded us that, “People are more important than things”. There is no need to hurt a person when you know the thing can be replaced. This is exactly what has been reflected through Calv’s action. I am thankful to both my boyfriend and God. I have learned something through the lost of the phone and the way he handle an issue.'

 

Still, a fruitful day for me… =)

I Want To See More ‘ColorBlind’

I don’t know why there were tears in my eyes when I was watching this short videoclip. It was shared by one of my friends, Soon Seng in an online group discussion.

 

 

This somehow remains me of that particular class where students are so bothered by their classmates’ skin color and ended up into fights – almost everyday.

 

I was being scheduled to make replacement (relief class) to the class today and I found myself repeating the same yelling, “Stop fighting! STOP!”

They were fights between the Indian and Chinese students. A Chinese student who were trying to make fun of me questioned in Mandarin, “Teacher, why are there so many Indian students in our class?”

 

It just struck me. I don’t know what to answer and I only managed to reply, “All of you are special and you guys can learn a lot from each other”. Well, my words were falls on deaf ears. He just laughed and ran away with his buddies.

 

Probably the idea was too abstract for a 13 year old kids to understand. I don’t blame them. I don’t blame the parents nor teacher neither. I understood the history of our country, as well as the diversity and political issues. There are unique, complex and tricky.

I don’t know how much I can do for these children especially in term of cognitive and moral developments before I leave the school in 2 years. At the moment, I can only plant as much seeds as possible to these vast ground and water them as often as I can with a big hope that one day, they will understand and grow as a wise, humane person.

 

I want to see more of this in our younger generation.

 

All of us are like a big family despite of colors. Wait, what color do I mean? Rainbow?

 

Would that be possible?

Bye Bye £6,000 Dimond Ring

Anybody had heard about this news?
A romantic man who was trying to give his girlfriend a surprise by putting the diamond ring in a silver helium balloon lost the balloon when he just left the flower shop.

Read this:

Lefkos Hajji, 28, wanted to make his engagement one his girlfriend would never forget, only to have his dreams cruelly snatched from his grasp by a gust of wind.
Rather than simply dropping to one knee before Leanne, 26, he told a florist to put her engagement ring in a silver helium balloon.


But no sooner had he left the shop when his plans backfired spectacularly and the balloons blew away - taking the ring with them.
Keeping his prize in sight, Mr Hajji, from Hackney, London, pursued the balloons for two hours in his car across London before giving them up as lost.

Oh my God! That poor guy just lost his £6,000 ring within second?

When I heard this news on AEC, Astro news yesterday, I was shock. The next thing I knew is, I wanna search for the ring! Lol... I heard the man is hoping that someone who found the ring can return it back to him. Or else, his girlfriend might.... slaughter him? No.. seriously, every female will do the same thing. Right?

£6,000 real D-I-A-M-O-N-D ring man!!!!

I'm counting the probability of the ring return to the poor man.
And the result is....

0.0001%!!!!

Come on... No one in
this world will return such a valuable, costy, expensive thing... ACCEPT!!!! The person is really a Darma person... Still, I assume the possibility will be: 0.0001%.I feel terribly sorry to him, and of course his girlfriend. The plan was suppose to be perfect but when it comes to nature, the environment and the God issue... everything can happen.

The moral of this incident?
Don't use the helium balloon. Use the normal balloon instead. Haha.....
