Time off

This morning I was a little 'trigger-happy' but only with the camera. One hand on the wheel and one finger went 'click...' Can only do this when driving an auto car. Manual car - definitely a no..no. See street lamps are still on( and some people are still sleeping!)
When I arrived at school I saw all the girls (mine is an all-girl school) trooping off to the hall. This is Monday morning. Not assembly day. Something must be on. Seems I've been very out of touch. Our school won the Sekolah Cemerlang(Excellent School) award this year, meaning that the school collected a cash award of RM500,000 - so I'm told. And this Wednesday afternoon there's going to be a 'kenduri' (feast) for the whole school. I won't be around that day. The students were being updated this morning. (This teacher required the updating too!) Seems the principal and a chosen team had gone off to KL to receive the award and would be returning Tuesday night by flight. All teachers had been informed to go receive them at the airport. I won't be there either. These are the things that make me glad that I've only slightly less than a year to go.
So having had my class canceled and the camera still unsheathed, I decided to take a morning walk to appreciate God's creation (to counteract man's ridiculousness). A 10-minute walk from the hall back to my room yielded a myriad of leaves that God created in different shapes and sizes. Took about 30 odd shots ( all different plants). I'm glad I had time off to "stand and stare...." this morning.

Always good to take time off to be in awe of our surroundings, yah? Better than a lot of nonsense that goes around us. Good to see you getting trigger happy ... with yr camera, I mean. 8) Enjoy tumpang-ing your wondering around through your pics.
