Been thinking about whether to continue this blog since last year. I guess the recent controversy about teachers being too personal with students has kinda helped me to finally decide.
So thanks for reading. And if you need to contact me, you need to do it via conventional email. God Bless!

42.195 Part 2
Posted in Marathon, Personal, Uncategorized on December 11, 2008 | 12 Comments »
Thought I should have a short follow-up to the previous post. I lived! And I finished. That’s the main thing right? Sure, I took over 6 hours to do it, but I did it.
It is Wednesday now, almost 3 days since the run and it is the first time since the run I am no [...]
What is your purpose?

Just caught the rather strange musical ‘Avenue Q’. For those of you who don’t know, it is an NC16 musical with ‘adult themes’ and basically puppets not disimilar to the Muppets we all grew up with. With catchy songs like ’The Internet is for porn’, and the promise of puppets doing things children are not supposed to see, how could [...]
Graduation the sequel

A quick post before my many many appointments for the day start. A year has past so quickly. Once again, it is graduation for the senior students again. It has been such a hectic week I haven’t thought about it at all, except for cameo appearances at rehearsals and stuff.
How do I feel about the [...]

“Enjoy yourself, for life is but a dream,
Enjoy yourself, for life is but a dream,
Enjoy yourself, for life is but a dream,
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, for life is but a dream!”
You know there are things in your life you remember. You don’t know why, but remember them. So this is an incident that happened almost [...]
Sleep Deprivation

There is a lot of talk about the HFMD breakout in Singapore these days. It is terrible how quickly such a disease can spread in a densely populated urban environment like ours. Hopefully we get it under control soon.
A more insidious problem among our young people today I think is chronic sleep deprivation. There has [...]
Happy New Year to all!

It has been a crazy past few days with all the visiting. Actually this year, it has been more visited than visiting. I have loads of thoughts on that but I shall leave it for another time. Have just enough time to say that I have never been more pleasantly surprised to see oranges close [...]
Life and Death

When I am dead
Cry for me a little
Think of me sometimes
But not too much.
Think of me now and again
As I was in life
At some moments it’s pleasant to recall
But not for long.
Leave me in peace
And I shall leave you in peace
And while you live
Let your thoughts be with the living.
(traditional Indian poem, anon.)
I like these rather simple [...]
And so this is Christmas …

Have you heard that wonderful anthem by John Lennon, ‘Merry Christmas – War is over’. It starts off with something like this:
And so this is Christmas
And what have you done?
Another year over, a new one has begun.
Well, it is not quite Christmas yet. Just a few more days. But the end of year came with [...]
A Crazy Christmas
Posted in Uncategorized on December 10, 2007 | 13 Comments »
Went to watch a kind of a Christmas concert over the weekend at the drama centre. It was hilarious! It had the usual suspects: Hossan Leong who had the audience in stiches with his irreverent jokes about everything, a crazy rocker chick Pam Oei with a wonderful take ‘I saw mummy kissing Santa Claus’ (I [...]
