What I had meant was this: that people who thought that I was in the younger age bracket had to think again and move me into the older age bracket. It wasn't about Zhang Cuishan before or after Ice-Fire Island.

    Cedric stated that he gave a "cocky and arrogant" response, so I replied accordingly. I didn't read his response as anything else since Cedric already stated the obvious. In real life, students don't really see their teachers behaving arrogantly towards their colleagues/supervisors. So role-modelling isn't the problem here. Instead, the issue here is about the person's teachability and willingness to learn/do things in certain ways. Arrogant people tend to be more unteachable, thus more likely to make unnecessary (and sometimes even serious) errors that could have been avoided in the first place. And I, speaking for myself as a supervisor, do not have the luxury of time to fix such errors. As I always say, if I have to pick up after you when you make a mess (after you've been told how to avoid the mess), I might as well do your job and take your salary.

    I can't help it. I'll turn from a task-oriented person into a relationship-based one (and vice-versa) when the situation calls for it.

    The Japanese claims they are hunting whales for scientific researches. Have they actually published any of said researches, and are the Japanese great contributors to whale researches?

    She most probably is referring to your state of mind maturity.

    Maybe they are researching how to make the whales taste better.

    Update: Oops. It turns out that this isn't what they research. Their research is to prove beyond reasonable doubt that whales eat fish, precisely eels and sardines.

    Every day, I want to tell this friend, "I love you." But that won't be good for our friendship. So I keep this love inside and smile whenever I think of him.

    That's great. That means that you are flexible person. Will you consider yourself more task or more relationship?

    HYS, you're an enigma, I'm trying to figure out. For someone so well-knowledge and experienced, Xiang meimei is correct as is Cedric...maturity level high...unless you are a genius who excelled in life at an early age, I would have to put you in an older age bracket. Forgive my inquistive need to seek and to know what I do not know.

    I never mistakened you for being young ( early 20s), you always seem older to me.

    No, it's not the way you sound, neither did I gage from your maturity level in a forum. I'm not surprised for someone who is aged 25~ early 30s to display maturity the way you did.

    It was your years of working/teaching experience mentioned (in compare with Ken's) in the earlier posts and I did a very brief calculation that result in -- my jaws-dropping conclusion.

    "Big car, small brain!" - That was what I audibly called the driver of the large MPV that was parked at a slanted angle so close to my car that I had to squeeze into the driver's seat and close the wing mirror in order to drive out (with barely inches to spare), without realising that he was actually in the car! I only realised after he drove out immediately after I was out.

    Nothing to seek forgiveness for. Curiosity is part and parcel of life.
    But it did kill the cat.
    Sounding old is probably the result of life experiences, but since I teach pre-K/K, I do hope that I am having a decently balanced mix of the old (life outside work) and the new (new tech/research, young parents, even younger kids, etc).

    Its those two faced people that you have to be cautious about. They step on you rather than being stepped on. Hello? Am I suddenly transported into the world of inner palace schemes? It's just one of those days where work seems like that. I think everyone needs this upcoming 3-day weekend.

    Hm. In Pinocchio, Geppetto was swallowed by a whale. I don't see why such things [or accidents lol] couldn't happen in real life.
    I like me.

    This year's payout is three times the usual amount. I guess they do realise how unpopular they've become and are going all out to "win" public support before the elections... But oh well, I stand to gain extra monies anyway.
