Monday.

1. My hand miraculously survived the burns. The skin is threatening to tear but I ought to be glad that it is only this bad after being scalded by a liquid with temperature as high as more than a hundred degrees Celsius. Phew.

 

2. My student was full of enthusiasm while doing his Chinese essay today. If only he could be like this every session.

 

3. I felt a tinge of guilt just now when I realised that I have only been on a plane with my mum once in my life. And hers.

 

4. I watched today's episode of ZZSF and I liked the scene of Kangli (role played by Chen Liping) crying in a cubicle of the ladies' after discovering her husband's extramarital affair. There was a similar scene earlier, with Weiyun (role played by Zoe Tay) crying in the cubicle after she knows the man she loves has been lying to her. The parallels in the roles and their situations are presented with the same crying scene in the cubicle, and I like it. Women do not necessarily always cry in front of men. They like to conceal their vulnerability sometimes. Especially those who like to put up a strong front. I wonder if the scriptwriter/director is a woman. How come the scene creates such a great impact?

 

5. The woes of being jobless are getting to me. Zzz.
