I actually woke up at 8.30 a.m. this morning to pack my room. It's been something I promised myself I would do since... September? And I can't believe it. I was only done at around 4 p.m.? Nevertheless, I do enjoy packing my room and clearing my stuff sometimes because every time I do, I am bound to chance upon something that makes me reminisce the good old days. I started with the uni stuff. Looking through my notes and readings, I realised how lazy a student I had been some time ago. Most of the readings were untouched, just how many trees had I killed?! And there were the CH3246 notes which I really treasured because most of them were prepared and compiled by members of our study group for that module. That really has to be the module that left me with the fondest memories :) And there was the 经史子集. OHMYGOODNESS. Even until today, I have no clue what I learnt from that module. I only remember rushing to the deck to have my lunch at 12.45 p.m. when lessons ended. Then I moved on to JC notes, which I wonder why I never wanted to throw but eventually did today. It dawned on me that I had never been too serious with my work. Many times I only began worrying for exams when they were around the corner. Argh. To think I actually tell my students not to do things last-minute!!
Studying has been great fun. I don't know if I will be doing that again in this life. A part of me hopes that I will. Whatever, I hope I can inspire students to derive joy from learning, like how my teacher(s) inspired me.
