Maybe adults really don't grow up?

Every Fridays and Saturdays I attend classes. The classes are for a very important subject in the ACCA course, therefore many people attend the classes during those two days. So every time I attend the class I get a great deal of discomfort and I feel really irritated. Here's why - the class is always packed like a tin of sardines, and the air-con cannot really cool the place down thoroughly. By now, I am sure you can already imagine how the condition is like having a stuffy lecture hall packed with people that keep on yakking.

The lecturer is there trying to convey her materials and the class is hardly ever focused on her. Yelling from the front so that the ones at the back can catch what she is saying is already a pain for her. Students then conveniently make matters worse by talking. Is there really so much to talk about?

Time and again, the lecturer has expressed how much she detests students making so much noise and disrupting the class. She was very, very close from leaving the class the night before as a matter of fact. Sadly, students do not really learn from the experience, and the students' lack of respect and discipline simply keep repeating itself over and over again every week!

The surprising part is this - at least 90% of the students are students aged 19 years old and above, and some already working like myself. As far as I know, people at the age SHOULD already be matured enough to behave themselves. Note that I use the word, 'should' because I do not seem to see any maturity in these bunch of people. Personally, I really cannot see why it is so difficult to just keep quiet and listen to what the lecturer has to say for 3 hours on Fridays nights and 6 hours on Saturdays. Considering the fact that most of them come from work on Fridays I am pretty sure they have already done a fair bit of talking for the better half of the day. 6 hours in a Saturday isn't too long of a time for someone to keep quiet and listen attentively, considering all of us have 24 hours in a day.

Writing this reminds me of my previous post 'ADULTS DON'T GROW UP ANYMORE' because from what I see, people that are supposed to behave like adults are acting far from what an adult should be.

hiatus!

After having been online on the ~Path of Time~ since 2006..... it is going to be hard, painful and sad. As of today, I will officially stop writing on the ~Path of Time~. For those who have continued to read my posts, I thank you very much for taking timeout to read my posts. I am not sure if all my writings were great but I'll be happy to know even if it was only one post that reached your heart. I may one day pick up from where I left off here but only time will tell. Who knows I might even start afresh? Until next time.......... time stops ticking for the ~Path of Time~

one foot in the past, another in the future........ what about the present?

All of us go through a cycle, what we commonly call - the past, present and the future. It can probably be summed up by this simple phrase: " we come from the past to be in the present and look forward to the future ". Now, what I want you to do is take a step back, or just give your mind a minute or two to digest the above mentioned phrase. Ask yourself if it applies to you. Really ask yourself; and I mean REALLY ask yourself in the most honest of manner, whether it really applies to you. You may find it difficult to arrive at a 'yes' and even if you do, you probably find yourself in a paralysis state of mind trying to justify the 'yes'. If you really ponder about it, you are likely to find that most of us would find this phrase more relevant instead: " we come from the past and look forward to the future " You will find many of us either hang on to the past or look far too forward into the future, or likely for some to even be dwelling too much in ...

my first tow truck ride

It was like every other Saturday morning for me yesterday. Woke up early to get breakfast, get ready for my weekly rock climbing sessions. I felt pretty good yesterday since I managed to sleep the night before so I was feeling very energized and upbeat about my climb session. I might have spoke too soon though because my car decided to pull a fast one on me. I found it surprising because I always went on preventive maintenance for my car so I really wasn't expecting any breakdowns especially I didn't hear any sound symptoms, neither did I saw any signs of an impending breakdown. After all, it is only logical that mechanical parts would give out some form of symptoms to let you know it's about to go. I was actually driving myself to rock climbing, feeling all geared up and gung-ho about it. As I approached an uphill climb and right bend, I realised I was losing compression and the car was starting not respond to my pedal work on the accelerator. To make matters worse because...
