Learning points ( over these few weeks)

1) My love handle has its use.
Maoster on a shaky MRT train grabbed my love handle to balance himself on a "rocky" ride. I mean, they don't call it a love handle for nothing. Grab me if you ever need to stabilise yourself. Really, I won't even feel a thing.

2) I love Singapore - Singapore, I love you, I love and so much more.
The GST payout + the $300 govt interim bonus paid for our Malacca trip. I want to say I love to be a Singapore citizen, we pooled our resources together and hey, we ate, shopped, ate, ate, ate, ate, ate, ate and even had rooms with personal jacuzzi. It was alot of fun eating time. I will remember you when I cast my votes.

4) Amt of food you consume - (minus) your poo = How fat/thin you will be.

I am amazed by how people eat and eat and eat and then they shit and shit and shit
The Malacca trip eating trip was awesome. Lausy and Francis were like shitting 3 times a day becos well we ate like 6 times per day. Every time they conquer a meal, they go poo- I mean... you can imagine the blockage as I have nothing much to share. I am a great retention machine.

5) Ice-Box Advantage
The present I got for Gee works! We smuggled 15 bars of Magnum ice-cream from Malaysia at less than half the price! Please people, go Malaysia must eat Magnum lah! RM $3.80 only! Bring an ice-box please

4) I look heavily pregnant
My student asked me TWICE if I am pregnant- not only that they ask me to verify my last menstration to confirm that I am just fat not pregnant. I mean, all that sex education is paying - Missed period= pregnancy. I mean, I knew that already, so NO I AM NOT PREGNANT.

5) Teachers cheat too
One of the biggest "show" teachers need to put on was for lesson observation whereby your whoever up there who thinks they are good enough to criticise you although they haven't taught before will come and see you and how you teach. One interesting technique, I heard my other colleagues say was that they get students to raise their hands when they ask a question. If you know the answer, raise your right hand. If you don't, raise your left. I mean when the teacher ask a question, the whole class will be raising their hands! Wow, talk about class involvement and participation. And I mean, you can choose the lighted bulbs with their right hands shot up. Not sure if it works for my kids, I mean, they might have both hands up representing more of I AM NOT TOO SURE!

7) Upgrade of Communication Skills
Maoster saw a cockroach in our bedroom and refused to enter. I told him that the bug is no longer there as his mummy ask him to go home already. He looked at me in the eye with that- I am not an idiot look. He asked me- Mummy, the cockroach don't have a phone, the mummy cannot call him home...... Okay, I need to think harder.

Ending here with a stupid question my student asked me:

Q: Who are Transformers parents?
A: Transparent

Q: Do you know Transformers have a sibling?
A: Transistor.


Okay, don't throw your eggs. C'mon- sometimes even the brightest star won't shine for a day or two.
