Yup I turned 34 on the 9th Sept

Well funny that i decided to schedule the advanced math remedial on the 9th of September, which happened to be my birthday. I had a lot to settle during this break, and so I scheduled the lesson to be at the end of the week do that I could prepare the lesson well and settle some outstanding workload.

It was a nice pleasant day. I earnestly hope everyone benefitted from the lesson. It was designed to get everyone started on revision, but in no way replace what is needed- good solid revision. My advice to all is that you guys should open up your textbook and practise, with your journal and file within reach.

The day was well spent. There was a good time of fellowship, circling around capuccino, milo, biscuits, donuts and more food. I dont think remedial could be this fun. Next time we may throw in CyberAC in between. Didnt think of that.

My birthday wish follows a typical exam question structure i.e. with many parts...


i) Those who are slightly behind would not lose heart and be discouraged, but do their very best for the exam. There is no need to worry that you would disappoint me. I appreciate you for who you are, and not what you can do.

ii) There are some among you who think that math is not your cup of tea, and I can understand that. At the end of the year, I do hope that you would find that math lessons are not at all that bad. Who knows, you may even develop a liking for it..

iii) I know that many of u take my "No Self-Deprecation" rule as a light-hearted joke but I hope the message gets acrossed. Just because you are bad in something does not make you a loser. We are all good in some things but nobody can say he is good in everything. Hold your head high and feel good about yourself.

iv) Lastly, for those who are good in math, I pray that you would continue to soar high up and achieve the potential in this subject that God has ordained for you. But be careful to be well grounded in humility.


Half my life is gone now, but there are a couple of good years left, God willing. Life is real precious, and I hope that with the remaining time left, I could have more opportunities to introduce Jesus to people, without whom, even a long immortal life would be meaningless.
