how many times in your life, have you encountered hearsay and was drawn into believing or even 'contributing' sth to spice up that boring afternoon in the office or a dead-early morning lecture?

Been wanting to blog abt this for some time, but didn't had the time to sit down and blog properly. Or rather, I was distracted by other things whenever I am online. Recently I've been busy with preparing for exams (not exactly in the mugging mode yet, but making furious attempts to concentrate) and managed to squeeze in time for a 21st chalet. I was really glad I went, and had the opportunity to see for myself a great teacher among my friends. I haven't been taught by him previously but had heard abt him from MS. How he had selflessly answered her qns on Econs & most recently, offered his help to her cos he knows that she's pretty stressed up over her tight exam schedule.

This made me recall that not so long ago, I rem hearing pp saying things abt this teacher and that. You know, the usual things abt a tutors being oh-so-slack or driving you up to the wall with work. I rem hearing things abt him, but certainly not this side of him. And I'm so glad that.. I did not choose to believe those stories they passed ard. (Exactly what I honestly don't rem, but obviously I didn't hear this side of him frm them.)

And this is the first time I come to respect a teacher so much, without being taught by him (:
