Basically, the age group of my course mates at Stansfield varies from age 17-36 (accordingly to those I known is around these age range). Sadly to say I don’t really have much chance to interact with most of them but I roughly know their faces and names.
Most of the time, I’m always late for classes and just dash quietly to my seats, beside my gals friends(that I know from orientation). In the first place I also don’t really dare to chat with strangers readily too. Well, to girls, maybe Yes, but not to guys. But if the other party makes the first move, probably I wouldn’t ignore that person. Haha..
That’s how I came to know my neighbor cum course mate. As he stays near me, we tend to bump into each other and take the same train ride home after every lesson. Initially, we just practically ignore each other presence but after I guess 2 or 3 months later, he approached me one day and we started to chat from then onwards. Keke.. Apparently, he’s around the same age as my brother and still serving in Ns. Very mature-thinking for his age too. Oh ya, he’s super hardworking as well which can motivate & “stress” me that I’m lagging on my revision. I need that motivation because of my laziness; I probably just start last min which is a big “NO NO” for degree studies. Imagine there are big piles of notes to study for each of the modules, if taking chance to study everything last min, most probably can flunk the 4 papers loh. Tsk tsk..
Anyway, it’s true that knowing a few young friends will make one feel younger. The way they talk is somehow different too, more lively & bubbly. Last night I got to know another of his friend, even younger than him.
Shuan to me : Hey, you look like one of my senior in sec school wor.
John to Shuan : How can it be? Even in primay sch. If she’s in primary 6, you are not even in primary one!
Me : …......(Wat can I say?!?!)

Disappointment
I finally bought my N73 last sat! But sad to say, I found out there’s 2 bugs. Firstly is that the incoming call volume is very soft when I’m listening to mp3 using the earphones. Secondly is about the loud, irritating screeching sound when I’m trying to make video calls to my friends. Wah… Guess I have to go down to Singtel Bugis to change my phone within the week. Hopefully it will not be a wasted trip down and they will change a new one for me instead of pushing all the blame to Nokia.
Well, I’m really looking forward to use this new gadget and YET, this has to happen.
What a letdown! Pls dun let me lost the faith in Nokia.

Good news comes one after another
As some of you might already know it, our dear Mrs. Lim is 3 months pregnant! Woo, so unexpected! I’m seriously quite surprised when she broke the news to me yesterday because to me, she really dun even looks pregnant at all. Apparently accordingly to doctor’s advice, it’s better to reveal the news to others after 3 months later, which the bb condition is much more stable.
Very soon, we are going to have a new member in our poly gang! So cool~ Yeah!! I love babies. Even though, married plans are far, far away from me. I always dreamt of having twins if I really have kids of my own. But my colleague warned me it might be a chore taking care of 2 kids at the same time esp when they both look so alike. N most importantly, everything got to buy in 2 sets! Hahaa…
Anyway, luckily for Jess, her vomiting symptoms seem to have lessened over these 3 months otherwise she say she will not be able to enjoy her honeymoon wor. Hmm, so will it be a little jess or mike? Well, got to wait for 2 more months before can know the result bah. Now that I suddenly recalled, in the past, I’m always “conned “by them (Ade & Jess) of this kind of news on April fool’s Day. Now this round time, she’s really pregnant le. Hahaa…
Also, Ade is moving in to her new house at Yishun today. A day she has been waiting for very long after so many months of preparation. Come to think of it, most of my poly friends live around Yishun, Katib and Admiralty. All live so far away from my home! Pengz. Well, that’s partly why I seldom meet them up. Recently, as every one of us is so busy with their own life. I got a thinking - Is it really true that all of us might drift away further and further away as we grow older? I certainly hope that’s not the case.
Well, now that they got their own home, perhaps we can organize some of the gathering over there instead. How about doing some cooking, baking cake or play mj at times? Haha..
That’s just my own suggestion. >.< *wink wink*

Farewell
So fast! 4 years have passed since Mr Saruta (My Japanese boss) had been working in my company.
He was transferred here from Japan to improve the sales of cutting tools department, to cut down on bad debts and to look over for other departments as well.
And he did it! Very splendid results. The top management in Japan is very happy with it. I must say that he is really a very efficient and fast worker. Plus I realized Japanese are very hardworking as well as he’s always the first one to come to work and the last one to left the office. Make me tend to wonder why he doesn’t look tired at all. Hahaa…* 佩服*
One month ago, he finally got the notice from Japan that he had to return to Japan for other job duties. Kinda like an internal promotion to other departments. The first person to be thrilled about this news will be his wife. I heard that she isn’t very happy staying in Singapore as there is language barrier with the others and she’s having trouble communicating too. Anyway his last day is set on 20th Oct. So recently, our company decided to hold a farewell dinner for him. Dining place is at “Min Jiang”, a high- class Chinese restaurant at Good Wood Park. We had a 9 course-dinner (Imagine they choose S$1.5k for one table, so ex!!). Well.. who cares!?!? Most imporantly, we dun have to pay a single cents at all! Wahahaa...
Overall it’s really a very sumptuous meal. Yummy~My first time having 佛跳墙, lobster porridge and the best of all : Bird nest with almond milk! Woooo....
Well, 天下无不散宴席..Thank you dear Mr. Saruta for all these years. It’s been nice working with you and all the best for you!! Hope that the next Japanese boss will be as easy-going & nice as you.

Blissful Couples
Last fri went to attend Jess’s wedding at M hotel and I went straight to her suite the first thing I reach there. It’s so damn classy & spacious! The most significance thing I remember is that there’s a huge Jacuzzi in the bath room and I like how the red roses petals decorating “Love” around the coffee table. Very romantic feel~
Before Mike & Jess stepped in the ballroom, a video of their childhood, teenage yrs & poly pictures were shown. Plus some clips of how we sabotage those brothers & groom at Jess’s house in the morning. Looking through the re-play scene and their “tortured” expression made us laugh non-stop. This means it was a success and all our plans are executed well! A full- 45 mins of teasing and making them eat those horrible yucky raw bittergourd and wasabi bread. Hahaha…evil sisters!
While waiting for each dish to be served, me & 3 other gals were also busy snapping pictures ourselves.
Well it's not like we always have the chance to doll up so pretty, so MUST take lots of pictures as memory! Snap Snap Snap… lol
Anyway congrats Mrs lim! Hope to hear your good news of little mike or jess soon ah!
Keke.. 要幸福 wor.... Aren't they loving in the pic~

Time to keep fit!
Yeah!! Finally I signed up a yoga class at Sengkang cc with my mum. 12 sessions in total which is around S$40( only applicable to members) . Rather cheap, rite?? Keke...but the bad thing is that I got to buy a yoga mat to bring it to class. tsk tsk tsk... Anyway I'm looking forward to my first class and hope that the whole session will be fun esp with my mum as my exercise kaki, this time round !
Oh ya, I signed up for the passion card as well! $10 as a member for 3 years and new members got a chance to particpate in lucky draw! Although first prize is plasma TV, I'm more interested in the 2nd price - ACER labtop! Hope I will be lucky enough to get the prize!

Esprit esprit
Totally happy with my purchases at Esprit and hopefully they should have more of these sales in the future!
Yesterday I went with my colleague to Causeway point outlet. Only this outlet & Centrepoint outlet are entitled to further discount for regular items. Before her sister & family arrived, we quickly scanned through the entire shop and I managed to shortlist 2 jeans & a few tops at one shot. There goes half of my monthly spendings again… hahaa
But it’s really a worthy buy as their jeans are quite expensive and Esprit seldom have any major sales going on. Plus, the jeans fit me perfectly! I wouldn't let this chance slip by.. hiak hiak.
With big hip like mine, it's really hard to find jeans that fits! I realize Levi’s jean doesn’t suit me as the cutting is too small. Too pricey for my taste and in my opinion, it's more suitable for smaller-built girls. As for Giordano, the jeans just gets bigger & looser after a few washes. Tsk tsk tsk… Waste of money!
Pray hard that my first 2 pairs of Esprit jeans will not disappoint me.
Well, guess I have to control my spendings this month again. Always broke so early! Got to bear for another 2 weeks more before my pay arrives. Ren ren Ren ren! I can make it!

Fireworks fireworks
Went for klunch @ MS with lisi & Syn last Sat. I must say that the rooms are all very spacious and nicely decorated. Food was tasty too. Pity is that we only have 3 hours to sing our lungs out. Most likely, I will drop by there another time with another batch of singing kakis as I really like that place and the charges are cheap as well.
After that, we just hang around MS and wait for nightfall to watch fireworks!
Our Initial plan was actually to stand near the One Fullerton to capture the full view but upon seeing the huge crowds of people walking around Esplanade, we change our mind. Dun feel like squeezing in at all.
Instead, we just sat somewhere near MS to watch the fireworks, performed by the France team.
It was a really spectacular show. A full 15 mins of colorful fireworks lighted up across the dark skies. I’m sure some of the cars must have slowed down a while to view it too. After it ended, everywhere seem misty with the smoke around. Tsk tsk..”Contribute” to more air pollution!
Well, it’s a good thing that we were seated near to one of the mrt exits so that we could just quickly make our way to the train station - to avoid squeezing in like mad with hundreds thousand of people together in the rides home.
Anyway, Singapore is really so generous to hold 4 firework performances in celebration of it’s birthday this year. Each year performance just keeps getting longer and better.
And guess what, a really bad news that I just heard from my colleague. In the future for this kind of celebration, if the car drivers continue to create trouble for the traffic police and no further improvement in the road traffic , they might just cancel the whole thing and no more fireworks to view next time!! So saddening~ Aahhhh…PpPPLLLSsSsss dun let this happened!!

Offices politics...
I can’t stand the way that my office receptionist is shaking her leg to pass off her time everyday. She simply has the best relaxing and easiest job in the world, with such high pay too. (Working around for 20+ years in my office)
Firstly she dun need to pick up the call when she’s busy typing in data for my boss. Secondly, when she’s talking on the phone (personal call), she’s just dun bother to answer the 2nd line and let it ring and poor us have to help her answer it. It's not the first time it happened. Calls have been flooding in like siao and she just dun bother. What the heck?!?! She cannot multi-task and does that imply that we got nothing to do and we can help her?? No logic at all. How about spiltting half of her pay to us instead?
In that case, I will be most willing to help….
I’m not sure why is my company management is being so lenient with her when she’s obviously trying to act blur and trying to shake off her job responsibility whenever she can. And she’s getting bolder and bolder. She dun even refills the A4 paper at the fax and print machine nowadays. Got one time, she’s so thick-skinned that she even dares to talk back to her supervisor and my Japanese boss - that she done her job well. Crap loh!
Either the management has no eyes or they simply don’t care as it’s a small matter. But to us, she’s trying to create havoc as she’s too free and try to find trouble with us whenever she can. Well, she has this thinking that we are trying to “steal” her job and ruin her “good worker” image. Best sia! Who in the right mind, wants to snatch her job! Pengz…
Blow small matter into big mountain. That’s what some “bo liao’ aunites are best at!
I just study about Japanese management on my IBM lecture 2 days ago. It mentioned a part of life-time employment - something like they will not anyhow sack people, unlike America firms. Maybe that auntie knows of this fact very well, that’s why dares to throw her weight around. But don’t she find it boring to live her days meaningless without nothing much to do?? And making so many people disliking her so much at the same time…
Actually, my company has been kind to her and yet she wants to push beyond the limit. Even thought my big boss already has a rather bad impression on her, there’s no news of dismissing her or anything. She should be relived of the fact and just be responsible on her work duties till the day she retires!
It will do all of us good if she snaps out of it soon and stop treating us like enemies.
.: It’s always better to have a friend than to have an enemy :.

:: Little Yan Yan with Nelly ::
Last sat was spend meeting with the Sjcians at town area, eating and shopping again. Our usual routine. And this time round, Nelly brought yan yan alone even though her husband was at work. Normally her husband will take care of her while we gals went for shopping. So understanding & considerate of him!
Anyway that day, the star of our gathering was little yan yan. Almost everyone who saw her commented on her outfit, esp with her pink band on her head. Look so stylo & lovable. Also, toddler’s skin is really such an envy - so fair and smooth. Wish mine was like that… Flawless-looking!!
Now that yan yan was only about 9 or 10 months old, she's already towering other kids around her age. Can you imagine that some even guess that she's already 1 or 2 years old le?!?! Pehaps it's her milk powder that she's drinking doing the trick... lol...
I just love toddlers, esp at this stage. It's the best time to play & cuddle them while they still hasn't learn to walk much. Once they grow older, i think most probably, they won't want us to carry them anymore.

Too good to be true?!?!
How I wish it was mine!! Arghhh…My colleague bought a new hp yesterday and showed it off to us this morning. I just fall in love at the first sight of it -Sony ericsson K800i. It’s such a beauty!! Makes me so tempted to get it too! Sleek design with black-color casing, integrated 3.2 megapixel digital cameras with autofocus (pics is so super duper clear lo), a large screen, can buy a large capacity SD card to store more songs/ pictures, radio to tune in and it’s 3G phone as well!! Most importantly, it’s not bulky as compared to N80 which I shortlist in my mind at first.
Well, it’s only launched this month- pricing going at S$599 for 21mths promotion at Singtel. Which mean I GOT to wait a few months more for the price to drop…. No point spending so much when I just burned a BIG hole in my pockets recently.
Sucky thing is that my 6230 is only worth ranging from S$120 to S$150. So low value!!!
What if it drops to S$100 in another few months time??? *Horrified* I confirm will be even more sian.
SO, I hope there’s going to be some kind of special launching promotion for this hp soon. Otherwise I just got to wait and hope my patience will pays off.
P.s : Fyi, "Big hole in pockets" was refering to my 2nd installments for my school fees. Not that
I went on a shopping spree that caused it. Hahahaa...

Mystery of Zidane's Head Butt unsolved
Yeah!! Italy finally emerged as the winner after the penalty shoot-out. It was such a close fight. Even though I'm a supporter of Italy, the way Zidane(France captain) kick in the 1st goal for France is really amazing. So far Buffon has only missed 2 or 3 goals ever since the World Cup has started. 厉害!!
I will never forget how Zidane knock his head into that italian guy without warning. Shocking man! I really wonder what has happened btw them. Must be some offensive remarks that caused him to react so violently?!?! Haiz...but Zidane should have keep his cool! The whole world is watching this last match and he has to do this stunt. Kena a red card and being send off, not able to particpate for the rest of the game. What an ending for the last game before his retirement.... 真替他觉得不值.....
Humans should really know how to restraint themself when feeling boiled or provoked. The consequences might be disastrous and will regret it in the later part of life...

World Cup 2006
Finally only 4 teams are left to battle among themselves!

Macdonald to reserve good seats for matches are gone.. But I must say it was real fun and the mood of watching matches with the crowds makes mi feel really "gan cheong".
I will miss World Cup once it ends ...

Yesterday was my first day in class.
None of the gal friends that I knew from the orientation was in the same class (sociology) as me. Sad sia.
Feel so "lonely" in there esp when studying this boring subject combined with a naggy teacher.
Well, I already meet her during the orientation week and bored us with her lengthy talks within minutes.
And as usual, yesterday she threw a lot of smoke bombs at us and talked a lot of unfamiliar term. Arghh.. how how?? I have no single clue what's she blabbering about!!!
I really don't like this subject but what to do?!?! It's one of the core modules and I guess I really have to do a lot of read ups as the term goes by... pengz...
As for the other class, luckily I got Cindy with me. Although she was a third- year student, and I'm still in my first year. It was heng that we can still study the final and only class together! Things weren't so bad after all. Keke.. Without her help, I will still be in a blur of what to anticipate.
P/S : oh ya, did I mention that the admin staffs of that school SUCKS big time! I wonder that if SIM wasn’t so far from my home and plus the $$ issue, I wouldn't have choose my current school at all.

Unpredictable result
The result between Australia vs Japan was really unbelievable!
Imagine 3 goals within the last 8 minutes of the game for the aussie players! Kaoz…
It almost seems impossible but they made it happen…Damn it!
At first, I was elated at the breakeven score 1-1 because I bought 2 goals for that match, thinking that the score might not have any changes le. But I was totally WRONG.
My heart sank when my mum announced the final score. Arghhhh….. 3 -1 (Australia vs Japan).
Of course, some people are thrilled over it, but not me. Haahaa… Well, as the football is indeed round, there’s never a sure confirm chop answer to winning until the very last minute. You can only depend on lucks on winning. There’s always losing & winning in matches. But I just can’t accept why aussie got such luck! Really a world-breaking record for them!
Down the world cup history, it seemed that they have never went in a single goal for 32 years. But with this magical victory, their government is even thinking to announce a public holiday for their nation people to remember this special event! Wow…
Never mind then. Still have 3 more weeks to go, I shall continue to place small bets on other matches. Keke.. Watching the game and wining the bet together is JUST so exciting and tends to feel "gan cheong" too! *Hiak hiak*
Which country will emerge as the final winner?? Will the final result be what people had anticipated?
Brazil? Italy? England? Argentina? Or Germany?
We shall see….

Down the world cup history, it seemed that they have never went in a single goal for 32 years. But with this magical victory, their government is even thinking to announce a public holiday for their nation people to remember this special event! Wow…
Never mind then. Still have 3 more weeks to go, I shall continue to place small bets on other matches. Keke.. Watching the game and wining the bet together is JUST so exciting and tends to feel "gan cheong" too! *Hiak hiak*
Which country will emerge as the final winner?? Will the final result be what people had anticipated?
Brazil? Italy? England? Argentina? Or Germany?
We shall see….

Does Psychic power really exist?
Just finished reading a book : Psychic Eye by Victoria Laurie. Thankz to Bee. Well, She owns quite a small collection of books at home. For someone who’s really into reading so much, she revealed that she must read something before she goes to bed. If not, she can’t get to sleep. Hahaa… That’s not my style.
Frankly speaking, I’m not someone who will be caught in the library or book store, sourcing out for new reads. Ermm… I only read books recommended by others. So I welcome the idea of any good and interesting book that’s worth spending time on.
*Thrillers, Mysteries will do. No romance book recommendation pls. Thank you.*
Anyway, the book that I was mentioning earlier on was written by a Psychic which was a rare insight (Woo… I never really thought that there were really such people on earth). Basically, the main character, Abby cooper was working as a psychic intuitive and has a gift since young to read people thoughts and predict their own future easily. All the while, she felt that her life was quite bland – like vanilla ice-cream and hoping for some excitement to happen.
So one day, she decided to sign up for an online dating service to spice up her lonely, boring life. Surprisingly, it turned out that her blind date ends up is a detective - the last person on earth that she will unlikely wants to get romantically- involved with.
As previously on their date, Abby has revealed some important factors on one of the recent murders which lead to Dutch (her online date) to list her as the number one suspect in the death of one of her clients. The story continues to unfold of the romance between them and how they solve the mystery together without Abby becoming a victim herself to the real serial murderer.
Overall, I think that it’s quite a refreshing and engaging read. The interesting way that the author describes Abby’s psychic readings along with her quirky sense of humor made this book an easy read. I can’t wait to check out the other 2 books in the same series.
If you are looking for something light and fun, this is the book for you! Enjoy.

Song to recommend~
Love Story By Van Fan Yi Cheng
尾曲作词：F.I.R , 阿沁 作曲：F.I.R阿沁 , 编曲：Terence Teo
爱的故事有很多
你一定听过
她们说
最美的爱情像湖泊
美的忍不住停留
而任性的风吹过了
却飘下一片片叶落
放开手往北方走
留下伤心的树独自忍受
你离开我连一句话都不说
只默默看着今晚天空星光闪烁
看今夜的流星
划过了天际
笑我的心
我无法再冷静
请你要倾听
你是我的唯一
我不愿去相信
我们之间
隔着海洋的距离
我的爱
已融化在空气里
** Love this song the moment I heard it!**

Good news!!
Ladies and gentleman..
The winner for Talent Quest 06 is …… *drums rolling rolling*
Just that we don’t get to see her on MSN and also seldom meet up le.
Why?
Because there’s no more monthly meetup organised that we used to do in the past year.
I guessed that it might be that quite a headache to think of places to go to as a group.
Most of the time, we would just end up somewhere eating and gossiping on some juicy news at a café or restaurant (Always seem to be the case). Partly reason might be it’s hard to coordinate different activity as our dear Mummy Nelly got to bring little Yan Yan and her hubby along during our meet up. And the following might be the reasons as well…
Can’t go to the beach as scared that yan yan cannot take the heat. Can’t go cycling as Bee don’t know how to cycle. Can’t go for reservoirs walk and enjoy the nature view as I can’t take the long distance walk (I know Fen loves that, but I just dun like it. Lol). Tsk tsk tsk….
So conclusion, why is there no special activity to go for in Singapore where we can be involved as a group?!?! Hahaa… push the blame~
Anyway, back to Bee’s issue. So thrilled that Bee’s efforts finally got recognized and all her hard work got paid off! It’s her dream to become a singer as she participated in lots of singing competition to get more stage experience and to create her own style of singing.
Way to go, Gal! Keep on striving for the best! Hope your dream will come true soon…
We shall meet up real soon, in celebration for this good piece of news…Ciao...
The winner for Talent Quest 06 is …… *drums rolling rolling*
Phoebee Ong Bee Lian
Yes!! She emerged as the solo category champion for Talent Quest 06!!! And that happened on the 1st April (April Fools day). No, It’s not a joke. It’s for real…
Best part is that I only came to know it recently while reading through her friendster blog.
The first thing I did was to email her to congrats her and ask why didn’t she informed us the big news earlier on. Thought it’s a late congrats, It’s better than never wor!
Turned out that she was also hoping that someone from our gang would pop the question and ask how the competition is going on as she feels weird to just break the news like that.
Surprisingly, it just slipped everyone’s mind. Haiz, it’s not that we are not concerned over her.
Just that we don’t get to see her on MSN and also seldom meet up le.

Super Long weekend again!
Arghhh….No more public holiday for now till August! Pengz.. So got to really rest well and enjoy myself for this long weekend. In fact, I seem to be working lesser during this month. Hmm.. Mainly because there are 2 public holiday + one day off for Election Day Plus I need to go for a full-body check up within this month as well which means I will not be working on that day as well. This month is SoOoOo damn easy to pass by.
Well, happens that Mother’s day was on this Sunday too. Hence Bro and I shared to buy a small present for her to show our appreciation. She was so damn happy and grinning from ear to ear the whole day long. It wasn’t really an expensive gift but it’s the thoughts that counts…
Tomorrow, I will be on leave as well. After going for my dental appt in the afternoon, I will be going for my first induction class le. Wonder’s how it’s going to be like. Will I get to know some new friends soon? Will I be able to handle my work & school life well?It’s been 5 or 6 years since I touched on textbook sia. It’s not going to be easy but I’ll try my best to cope.
Stay positive and things will be to your advantage

The Art of Forgiving and Letting go
Came across an article about how you should take responsibility of your own feelings when something doesn’t go according to your way or when someone say some rude remark that hurts you. As long as you blame others for your feelings, as long as you believe that it’s THEM who caused you to feel that way, you are stuck and headed for deeper problems. You will find that happiness is slipping away as sooner or later, everyone that you know might disappoint you in some way. So most importantly, walk away from disappointment and choose your own feeling. Sounds chim?
Well, it really relates to my current situation as I have a huge argument with one of my colleague just last week and it's NOT really the first time it happened!!! And she’s supposed to be my “good” friend at work. I just cannot communicate with her at times. Must be our birth character clash sia. Otherwise why do we always have misunderstanding? Pengz.
From last week to now, we aren’t talking to each other during work at all. IF there is, it’s only for work purpose. Arghh… I just can’t be bothered to put on a fake front to talk to someone who hurt my feeling. NO way am I going to initiate a start-off!! I’m truly am disappointed at the way as to how she treats a friend. Firstly, I don’t like people to beat around the bush and talk in circles and would very much appreciate if you can just tell me what’s going on in your mind. It’s frustrating to guess what’s everyone is thinking every time. I need direct answer! Secondly, don’t throw your weight around just because you are older than me. It’s doesn’t mean that you don’t need to admit your mistake and that you are always right every time. Also, pls don’t presume and try to act smart. Lastly, I hate people bring up other matters which has no linkage to the first issue that we are arguing on in the first place. Wow.. That’s the part I most hated! You quarrel on this issue first and yet bring up another matter to add on the fire.
Hey, Hello! Get the facts clear before making your point. I don’t think I got any wrong loh.
I understand that humans tend to be selfish creature at times but you do not push your friend to the fire and care only about yourself when things happened, right? Feels so betrayed and cheated at the thought of it. Friends should have mutual understanding and stand by each other no matter what happens.
Plus, admit your mistake when YOU are in the wrong. Don’t push the blame to others. At least that’s how I feel.
I appreciate that article. It really does make some sense but I don’t think I can forgive her yet. I don’t like to pretend that nothing has happened. Maybe I really have to learn the art of forgiving and letting go slowly and how to live my life happier. All I need for now was more time to absorb this teaching. I also don’t like the way how things are now.
