AFP – Thursday, September 4
PARIS (AFP) – – Men tend to wind up with life partners who look like their mother, while a woman is lured to a partner who looks like her father, scientists reported on Wednesday.
Heterosexuals are deeply attracted to individuals whose faces are similar to that of their opposite-sex parent, they said, [...]

Do you think what you think you think?

This is a title of a rather fun book which has a series of philosophical quizes for people who are inclined towards such things which I had just read. It is all about perception and how our perceptions are often proven to be wrong later.
So it questions the very basis of what goes on in [...]
On blogs and blogging

It has been some time since I posted. I guess it is the tiredness from day to day activities and all the other things that have happened that have taken over my effort to blog once in a while.
The question arises. Why blog? Does it matter to me if anyone reads it? Not really. Then [...]

Been some time since I posted. I guess I have been busy and tired being administrator. I am really mixed up on this. I don’t enjoy it. But in order to move on in career, I have to do more and more of this. Such is life. Will do it for a while I guess [...]

Its holiday time! Sure, its only a short one. And like most teachers in Singapore, I am back in school most days this week. Yes, yes, sounds terrible. But after all these years, I think most of us are used to it. To be fair, we do get some time off either in June and [...]

No, I am not going to talk about that American comedy with the same title that never came to Singapore probably because of its gay themes. Only time I got to watch it is on flights in and out where it is a perennial favourite in in flight entertainment systems; this and ‘Two and a half [...]
Happy New Year!

When I was younger, much younger, I really enjoyed Chinese New Year. What’s there not to like? Sure there are irritating aunts and uncles who insist on comparing all te achievements of all your relatives. Sure we all have the cheapo relatives who give us 1.20 in our ‘ang pows’. But these are small things. [...]
Express yourself

It seems a bit incomplete if I somehow don’t quite make a comment on expressing yourself in the week after we had completed one round of presentations. While the presentations were full of really useful and good content which I am sure students spent time gathering, often the presentations were not as engaging as they [...]
Disappointments

I know this is a topic we all hate. We all hate disappointments. These are times in our lives when events and people in our lives don’t turn out the way we want them to. These are times when we set up expectations about how we would like things to turn out. And these expectations [...]

I mentioned a number of times how much I valued my first lot of students since I returned to teaching. They were a wonderful bunch being a good students and more importantly, really nice people. In fact, I still see quite a bit of some of them as they still come back to their home [...]
