Monday Blues

Seriously, Monday blues don't get much worst than this. 5 lessons, 4 of which are back-to-back. Worst still, I sneezed quite alot today. Sinus hasn't hit me for a long time, and I truly hope its just a case of a minor flu... or could it be students cursing under their breaths about me teaching such a hard topic like Ohm's Law?

Anyway, I should say that while I do enjoy teaching, I'm not sure if students enjoy it on their part or not. I didn't enjoy learning, but still, one would still have to sit through the many dreadful papers in order to make it to the next level (eg sec 1 => sec 2, so on so forth). Well, I do hope all the students will do well for their mid-year at least. One step at a time I guess.

On another note, as much as I dread having to wake up so early, having to face students who persistently forget to bring their textbooks/workbooks/notes, there's always the happy things in life like games to look forward to! In the month of April, I am very much looking forward to some of these games:

Super Paper Mario on Nintendo Wii!

Of course, the game's main characters include these 3 as always,

Mario, Lugi's in too, but his picture was nowhere to be found. Take a look at the video and you'll see him.

Princess Peach

Browser, who is actually not a boss character in this game! Instead there are bigger bad-asses taking over him, allowing Browser to be a playable character here.

Some in-game screens,

As well as some superbly cool videos:




This game here is a very good mix of the old-school Mario platformer that everyone's bound to have played before, but there's also quite abit of RPG elements in it. You have some hp to start with, instead of dying straight after dropping down a hole, or get knocked down by a tortoise (hah tortoises you will be soooo dead). I'm quite sure this game won't disappoint, and yes one of the first games that I will get to enjoy before Singapore even gets an official Wii launch! Hurraf x 10!

Of course, another of a must-get would be this....

This is one classic card-game on a console that should not be missed! Based on the 2 companies that brought us wonderful trademarks like KOF, Street Fighter, Devil May Cry, Metal Slug, Megaman and much much more, SNK vs Capcom Card Fighters' Clash DS is the MUST BUY for my NDS! If game shops are not going to bring this title in, I'll find my way through eBay, even if it means higher prices!

Of course, there's also Pokemon Diamond/Pearl, which by far is overshadowed by these 2 big wants here. Well, if I do have extra time to play this game, I'll get it! After all, I've played Pokemon Yellow, Gold, Ruby, LeafGreen, Emerald, and I really don't see myself missing out on this, but I'm afraid it has to wait. I have too much things and too little time. hahahaha.

Ok, something to really make me look forward to in April. Back to preparing some stuff now. Ciao.
