Easter Weekend

This weekend we had a cookout for the Trigon Call Centre Operators to uhh, reunite before I leave KL. Anyway, Ezra made the chicken and Elaine and I made the salad, normal mushroom spaghetti and the spicy olio spaghetti. Dessert was ice-cream and hershey's chocolate sauce. Drink of the day was Zappel. Looks good?

The pre-grilled chicken. Lots of honey went onto the chicken and it got that awesome burnt black skin. Love, love, love. It was delicious. To use Nigella Lawson's words (she's from Travel Channel's Nigella Cooks), "deliciousness" and "gorgeousness".

That's Elaine cooking her spicy olio spaghetti. What's the move? Its the toss!

Ezra and Ash "I like Abu" in the kitchen. I like Abu. Oh goodness, what a laugh!

Last but not least, the purple chillies. Never seen such a sight before eh? Well, they do exist, but they look like miniature brinjals to tell you the truth. Then they change to this vibrant red colour - flaming red. I really need to get a picture of it.

Anyway, that's about it with the pictures. Just the other day, I was in the taxi and wondering - is there something wrong with our education system? I remember someone asking someone else to complete their homework for them. Like, whaa?? Then I realised, probably even with an excuse, the student would be likely to get a scolding or detention or something. Thus, to avoid that, the student asks classmates to do the piece of work for them instead. Someone who is more profficient at it and understands it. Better still, someone who can get a perfect score at it.

But the downside to this is that the student avoiding punishment doesn't gain anything much from it. Other than the avoidance, the student alienates themselves from the subject matter. So should the lecturers/teachers get mad and get the student to find ways around (look, if this happens often, then wouldn't the kid bomb out at exams, a reflection of the educator's performance) completing homework or let the kids miss deadlines and hand up homework without punishment. Mehh, I think too much.

Easter weekend was good. Lunch was with Uncle Berty, Uncle Marcel, Aunty Audrey, Aunty Sylvia, Devinder, Elaine and David at Sri Melaka. Man was the fish good. Hope you had a good easter weekend and a Happy Belated Birthday to Shwee!!
