"If you work harder, you will get luckier" per Anita Sarawak dictum.

are we baby sitter? nanny? teacher? guardian?lecturer? tutor? act behalf of parents? god father? someone like mother Teresa? Angel? a mold? a tool? or what else? i am so damn confuse and stop perplexing me.

imagine you have to attend:

1st lesson: please check whether your name and matrix number are correct,........everything fine? no problem? ok, (through projector) this is your reading list, please prepare the material when you come for next lesson, (WTF? its more like a shopping list to me, all the books' name, page number, which paragraph), finish copy? ok, see you next week. ahhhh, class end???? what i saw only million and million of question marks popped out from everyone face.

2nd lesson: take out this page (we prepared ourself, since the shopping list with us), ok so this is the transistor, it is like this and is like that and these are the formulas for this and for that............clouds rest no more in the sky, but replaced by question marks..............2 hours lecture i managed to copy 100+ equations, not bad at all.....nothing shown from projector nor OHP, all the time the singer only singing on stage and drawing some alien symbols on board, every words from his mouth and everything appeared on board i have to copy with light speed...arms no longer attach to my body.

3rd lesson (Tutorial): (taking attendance), any question? (i never get any qestion from you, hallo?) since you have no question, good, class dismiss. !@#$*&^%

4th lesson (Practical): finish this practical in 3 hours. (excuse me, what is this and what is that? how to use this and how to use that?) what are you doing? you dont know how to read is it? instruction is printed there, read and start. (how to do? !@#$%^&*)

5th lesson: singer keep on singing, [ all of the sudden someone raised hand and pointed: Prof, i think the equation should be like this...., before manage to finish his words] ok since you are so clever, come in front and show the class how to solve this.....don't know? ok, go back finish it and pass up tomorror, class dismiss. arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

6th lesson: [prof, i am sorry, but i don't really understand this........] why are you so stupid? you never attend my class is it? you don't know how to go library is it? did you study? how you enter this course? which planet are you from? you dont know how to find answer for yourself? *&^%$#@!~

and imagine now you attend:

1st lesson: ok class, this is the notes for today, i already copied for you all right? ok, this is x and this is y, and blablabla....
2nd lesson: ok class, this is tutorial questions, don't know how to do? never mind, let me show you how to do, blablabla..........
3rd lesson: ok class, let me demonstrate one time for you how to do this experiment, then after that we discuss the answers..................problem? come let me check........................
