I got the SMS yesterday from Bin and I literally staggered and had to sit down. I wasn’t that close to him as a friend but he was always ready with a smile and funny remarks. We used to tease him a whole lot about becoming a celebrity one day - [...]

As a brand-new trainee teacher I guess this sort of thing is closer to my heart now. Alfian Sa’at’s tenure with MOE ended abruptly when they sacked him for no apparent reason; of course we all know Alfian’s out and proud, but obviously MOE won’t come out and cite that reason (if it is [...]

where I plot my birthday dinner celebrations and spend happy hours thinking about my birthday wishlist!
