Pottery

Pottery is something I had never thought of learning. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, I am having pottery lessons. And it is really interesting.

Hasan, my instructor, looked like my friend Lik Wuk. The mannerism, the speech, even the looks resembled each other. Both are artist, one is a potter, while the other is a violinist. Anyway, I thought Hasan was pretty handsome and charming.

Half way through the course, however, he started being sarcastic to other learners and during the break, there was a private outburst of disapproval of him. The learners felt that he was arrogant and disliked his actions.

I couldn’t say he is arrogant. I would say that he is proud of his profession. I would say that he has an artistic air in his gestures and he really knows his stuff. In fact, I admire him for being able to be do what he is passionate about, enjoying pottery and teaching at the same time.

Not everyone gets to do what they love for a living.
