Offsite to meet the Heroes?
Nah, our annual offsite was not a visit to the Heroes set, like the lucky bunch who gave us Google Reader. And I thought I was already quite close when I saw some of the Heroes cast here! Our offsite this year was a milder version of the Amazing Race, without the “strange things you [...]
A day without my phone
Late for work. Rushed out the door. 2 minutes to the next train. Rushed through the gate. Train arrives. “Mind the gap”. Board the train. Door closes. Sh!t, I forgot my phone.
That information itself gave me a strange sensation. Should I go back to get it? Do I have any urgent tasks that I had [...]
I miss writing
It has been a while since I last wrote anything creative. Most of my writings have been dull unexciting pieces of junk that passed as compliant writing at work. BOOOORING!!! I can’t imagine writing any more of that without some other outlet. I’m not saying I’m a very creative person, but I was once told [...]
Different kinds of teaching
I am slowly aware of how different kind of teaching suits different people, now that I’m experimenting with my own students. However, the method that my current teacher is using, may not suit most people. I guess the first thing that comes to mind is - is he even teaching anything?!!
I’m still doing Sun style. [...]
My Heroes
Ever wished to be a Hero? A hero like Superman? Spiderman?
You don’t have to have superpowers to be a Hero.
That’s one of the quote from a TV series titled “Heroes”. The TV series is about a group of people with special powers. Some of these people think about the amount of good they can do [...]
Home for me, home for my stuff
A home. You only realise it when it’s not there. I’ve finally moved to my own place. Well, it technically belongs to the bank, I am just “renting” it from the bank by paying the mortgage. But it’s a step closer to owning my own place.
I have recently moved to a new place. Unpacking boxes [...]
Harry Potter 7 - no spoilers, I promise
I am another year older now, but still, I am holding a Harry Potter book on my way to work. The train journey seems pretty short nowadays. The usual “are we there yet” has given way to “oh no, only one stop to go!” as I hurried through the pages before I need to alight [...]
Learning less everyday
This website has been undergoing some identity crisis lately. Well, the website can’t actually undergo identity crisis, but somehow, it’s easier to write when referring myself as a third party.
Anyway, as much as I want to “think and grow”, I’ve been reminded that “thinking” itself might be counter-productive to growing. As The Power [...]
A student becomes a teacher
After becoming a student for years, a few friends asked me to teach Tai Ji. I rejected profusely, citing some lame excuses e.g. not ready, not good enough, do not want to mislead etc. Of course, being friends, they have the normal comeback for each of my excuses. I think the fact that I’m not [...]
Buying a ticket home
Buying a ticket home. It’s suppose to be easy, it’s suppose to be painless. But when you combine school holidays, Sundays and rainy days, you’ve got yourself a perfect storm.
