Happiness Journal 25/9/2025

Yesterday, I was enlightening my students about coffee in Southeast Asia, to which a student quipped about bringing me a packet of strawberry coffee.

She did so today. I am touched by how she bothered to remember and executed her intention - particularly when she doesn’t seem the reliable sort to do her homework. I will savor this strawberry coffee.

Another student passed me a nice handwritten note about appreciating my efforts to teach them. What impressed me most was his flawless punctuation. Usually, his punctuation goes haywire when he loses control of his writing. He must have really put in a lot of effort!
