Yo Te Voy Amar



I'm at a loss for words today, which is an odd thing for me especially when it comes to writing down my thoughts.  Sure I'm not good at articulating my feelings but I'm thankful I can still write them down albeit a little too superfluously sometimes.

A School's Product : Teachers or Students?

Star Q


When people talk about school, they generally think about what their children do there, what they learn and what they hope their children would achieve.  In short the product of a school should ideally be the students!  They never think about what the teachers should do because as far as they are concerned, they know the core business of teachers, and that is to teach their children; or so they think!

Pity The Students And Teachers.

Star Q


Most Malaysian schools do not have conducive environment for studying especially those in rural areas.  The morning classes where the temperature is cool is the best part of the day for students to study and for teachers to teach.  But as the day turns hotter in the afternoon, everybody becomes restless and all they can think of is to abandon school and return to the comfort of their own homes.

Let Teachers Do What They Love To Do

Star Q



At the beginning when I was first posted twenty six years ago, school started at 7.40, just as it does now.  However, school was over at 1.30 in the afternoon back then.  There were very few meetings and teachers then really concentrated on what they were supposed to do as stated in their appointment letters; that is, to teach.

The Naked Nasi Lemak

I am sure almost everyone has read about the comments made by one of Malaysia's most celebrated chefs, Chef Wan, about the dismal and unappetising Nasi Lemak served to him on board our national carrier bound for Thailand.

A Twilight Career Change

Star Q

It's a strange feeling having to get up early and go to work on a day when most schools are having their extended Lunar New Year holidays.  The reality of the situation has not really sunk in yet, for I am still groggy and catching my balance as I walk out of the house, greeted by the cold 6.00 o'clock morning breeze.  Yes, I am working on a day when most of my friends are on holiday.

After Two Years.....

Can't believe that I have been too busy to write that I have actually left this blog untouched for two long years.  A lot of thing...
