Next week will be the final teaching week for me. I had it packed with replacement lecture and tutorials due to all the public holidays during the semester. After next week, it will be just the exams and I will be just marking exam scripts. Note that without classes, there will be no 'salary', nevertheless I need to finish the associated duties with all my classes. This week itself, I had a class in which students leaving midway and one even slammed the door behind him. As much as I can ignore this, it still disturb me. Immediately after, I though of the following book.
Finally, I have also expressed that I wil not be available for part-time teaching next semester. Que sera sera.
I'm still thankful with whatever I have. Things could have been worse. When I attended the wedding previous week, some form of sadness came over me. None of my kids are married yet and in a way, I have to worry for this. Also, my youngest son will be continuing with his BSc studies this coming September (God willing). Given as such, I hope to continue to work in some way hopefully.
Last weekend, we went to my third son's new place of stay in Shah Alam (DK Impian, I think). The 'studio apartment' will cost him RM900 per month, which will take a substantial amount from his income. Luckily, it was fully furnished that includes even a washing machine. The room is as big as our master bedroom and thus space is rather limited but for a single person, it is comfortable enough. For me, what is important, is that he does not have to travel so far to work (all the stress, energy, money and time wasted). A downside is that he did not have a parking space and for now, he parks his car at the roadside.
Yesterday, we went to a new eatery place to have our breakfast. We were told about this place by our son in JB after knowing the viral news about it.
I had my first taste of lontong darat there.
The food is good (though a bit spicy that what I'm used to). The place is certainly packed and had people queuing up to get a table. The place is in Rasah Kemayan and is probably hidden to many,
