Release, pull

Heaps have been happening the past few months. Strangely, whenever i'm ready to post them down on my blog, i couldn't put them down into words. Felt like i've been paralysed in one way or another.
I have recently given a new analogy to my teaching method/workplace.

How to Fly a Kite


Flying a kite is great fun on a windy day. It's also very relaxing watching the kite flutter. The following directions will teach you how to fly a kite with a friend.
[edit] Steps

1. Hold on tightly
Find a buddy to help you get the kite into the air.
2. You should hold the ball of string and have your buddy hold the kite or vice versa. The kite should be facing you and the wind.
3. Unwind about 30 yards of string.
4. Signal to your buddy to release the kite. You should pull on the string to launch your kite into the air.
5. Pay attention to the wind direction, here is a diagram:
* Suppose that "I" is you and "U" is the other person holding the kite
* Wind is blowing this direction: I ------------------------------------> U
* "I" stands one end (with the string) ------> "U" stands other end ( with the kite)
6. Make sure the wind is going in a straight line from you to the other person.
7. To allow the kite to go higher, release lengths of string.
8. To lower the kite, simply pull in the string.


On a sidenote, I can't wait for GC, lying on the beach with a book, crazy company of church mates and roller coaster rides!
