Student "edition" found at {csi dot journalspace dot com}.

Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

All this hullabaloo and I forgot that it was a minor milestone yesterday with a hundred times the number of entries as the number of hours in a day, or roughly six posts every seven days in the past 5 years and 9-odd months.

Anyway, on with my tale of ingratitude and paranoia in another country.

Of course when my former student showed up the first thing I wanted to do was get a picture of us together. What surprised me was that when I asked Ms. Research to point and shoot, she said she didn't want to because my student made us wait.

Wow, talk about harsh. But later, she was the one asking all these questions for help about the cheap computer stores.

As I already mentioned in the student accessible version, they were also the ones who said they didn't want to waste money going to the top of the tallest building in the country.

They wanted to save the money to buy computer accessories instead, probably thinking that when they die anyway, they will be lifted up to heaven and have greater and higher views on the rise that from any manmade structure. That's sarcastic, by the way.

In fact, I knew my attitude was so far removed from theirs when they even wanted their school to reimburse their airport fee for them.

And here I am just glad to be given this opportunity, and willing to pay any additional expense just to see the trip pushes through!

Well, that's their cynicism, not mine. I have my own, but not with respect to gifts on a silver platter like this invite.

So, after my student left us, we had to fend for ourselves in the multi-level underground main MRT station, and that's where Ms. Research blew up about Mr. Most Important Research's frantic non-Amazing Race winning sense of direction.

Session 2403 hopes this tale will take no more than three parts. Class dismissed.
