Hah, crap.

Ok seriously, Aniq is adorable! He's the 19-month old son of a teacher from school. She brought him to school a few days ago. So that he can interact with people, she says. I'll gladly interact with him laa. And i so like the way he says "byeee!" I'd go out of the room and in again countless of times just to hear him say "byeee!" He's going to be such a charmer.

It's a nice change to step out of the sci lab and do work in the staff resource room during the mornings. There, i get to socialise a bit more. In the lab, there's only Nancy the lab tech (who really is great company) and me. In the resource room, there's the counsellor, IT trainer and Teacher's Aide. Add me and Nancy in the mix and we'll make one chatty quintet.

The resource room is also where i first met Aniq, see. It's amazing how sometimes you'll get something good when you stepped outside your comfort zone. As amazing as how something minor/small (meeting an adorable kid) can seem like a big deal if you choose to see it that way. It's a matter of perspective, really. If you can make small, good happenings seem big, why can't you make a big problem seem small? wise, aye? =))
