The Way of the Russian

Der internet connection is stable again. Not what I expected at this time, though.

one Здравствуйте.
[Sdravstvuytee/Hello.]

I had my last piano class with my previous teacher, Ms Yeo, somewhere in the middle of last month.  I’m not the quitter or anything, but my teacher had to leave Malaysia for Australia as she is getting married :’-)

Note: I am currently doing my Advanced Certificate.

It was just last month when I found out that I was getting a Russian teacher. Today was my second class with Mrs Irina (I think). She used to be an examiner (for piano practical exams) in England. Sounded scary at first but she really is nice (and very pro)

My first class with her last week was something like a strange encounter. There I was, playing the piano. My teacher’s daughter was there to decorate the room and at some points, she’d speak Russian with her mother. Being the half-absent-minded person that I am, it really felt like I just entered a Russian household

The strange bit is that…I just learnt the Russian alphabets a few months ago.

two SB-900. It’s here.

For some odd reason or another, I seem to get my photography-related items mainly in September.

2009 – SB-900

I need to study flash photography soon though! :O

three What if…Science classes (especially Physics) are exactly like an episode of Mythbusters?

How about…: What if we had these guys as our Science teachers? Or at least, tour to different schools for some demo on what they do?

During the recent trial exams, I’ve been thinking about those questions which I asked myself (once I’m done with my paper).
If we had the Mythbusters to teach us, it’s definitely going to be very interesting. C’mon man, who wouldn’t agree with taking Science to the EXTREME level?

Best of all, we’d get to see BIG BOOMS a.k.a. explosions (+ a very happy Mr Savage and an ever-stoic and invincible Mr Hyneman)

While I was studying Physics last week, I couldn’t help but to yawn as I read the boring text. It’s nothing new but that’s when I thought of this: If our textbooks had pictures of Kari, Grant and Tory explaining stuff at every page and every corner, I’d be delighted. [I may not have photographic memory, but I know that pictures are easier to remember than words.]

I’ll just keep on dreaming. Gunnaw start looking for the Mythbusters address and send them a copy of the drawing…
