I did a naughty thing yesterday, and did my Physics Teacher proud today.

(No, in case you're wondering, these two sentences are in no way related. Save for the fact that it both happened at my workplace.)

Let's talk about yesterday first. So I went back to work on Thurs, after my long 2 week sort-of break, and it went ok. Then Friday came along, and I had to open up the place and get down to work. Then I realised I was the only one there! So, I took out my PSP, and happily blasted the music away (away from the CCTV's view, of course -.-). So this lasted for 2 hours. while waiting to open the place up to the public, my colleague, who's really proud of the fact that she had signed up for a new student mobile plan, happily called up to see if I had failed to disarm the place and caused the Security people to come rushing to the place. So we yaked over the (company) phone for some time, while I was working away happily and listening to the mp3.

So things went on fine for yesterday.

Now, today, I had a Sec 1 student who had some Science qns to ask. It was about SI units, using Lab equipment and all that. Strangely, she just couldn't read the Vernier Calipers readings. And she asked why. So, having stared at her notes for 5 seconds, I launched into the whole lesson on how to read the Vernier Calipers, how to avoid parallax error, SI units etc etc. Now, the whole time I was talking, and (laughing) at why she just couldn't read the Vernier Calipers reading correctly, I suddenly realised something again! I wasn't even looking at the answers! Wrong how??? So discreetly, I peeped at the answers and realised I had gotten everything right.

Now, that's an achievement deserving a Nobel Prize, my friends. To my really amused (by now) upper Sec classmates, they know my open secret. I can't read any reading in the Lab correctly. I always get all my measurement questions wrong, I don't understand what's the big deal about that bloody decimal point and the SI units, and I certainly have no idea what I am taking Physics for. And today, I can go on and on and actually get all the Vernier Calipers readings correct! I mean, for a guy who has no idea what "zero error" is all about and can never read off the readings correctly?!

My Physics Teacher must be beaming with pride at me at this very moment.
