Goodbye

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

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 - [...]

MOE says no to gay teachers

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

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 [...]

That time of year is here again

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

where I plot my birthday dinner celebrations and spend happy hours thinking about my birthday wishlist!
Where should I hold my birthday thingy this year? I’ve more or less given up on the big combined celeb thing so I think I might have a CS-only dinner and then have separate little dinners with other friends [...]

Class

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

Am not going to name the school I’m currently training in just in case my students find my blog :D

It rocks my world!
And another gorgeous new elephant to add to my beautiful collection. I do so love my elephants.
Also lots of new clothes, too many new pairs of earrings to count, and memories of a well-spent weekend with lovely company :)
Already I sorely miss [...]

Disappearing for the weekend.
Watch this space.

Horror story

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

What a terrible, terrible, awful, horrible day.
First that, then that.
And then the worst taxi ride I’ve ever had in my life!
The cab driver was utterly silent while Mish and Stephen were in the cab - first we dropped Mish, then Stephen - and the minute Stephen got out of the cab, he started talking.
You know [...]

CORDYCEPS AAAAAHHH RED ALERT

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

Oh god.
I always laughed it off when people tried earnestly to convince me that cordyceps are worms. “They’re vegetables lah,” I’d say. “They just look like worms. Who the hell boils worm soup?”
Then Paul said he’d heard that cordyceps were animal yet also plant, like they changed halfway during their life. [...]

Living for the moment

Thanks, brown eyes :)
My week is made happy happy!
Surprise surprise coming at the end of the week. Talk about mass spontaneity :D
I can’t wait!

Pass it on

Dear tscd:
I was left a comment on my Vitagen vs Yakult post from a concerned reader:
“Hey, sorry- this is so random, my name is Sophie and I used to live in Kuala Lumpar, every week, my mum, brother and I used to go the supermarket where we’d get a couple of 6 packs of Vitagen…I’ve [...]
