An Animal Called Liger.

My P5 class is an interesting lot. Largely made up of Korean students with limited ability in the English language, they are vibrant and talkative. Because of that it is quite a chore teaching those little buggers. However, it makes my job a bit interesting too.  
The topic of today’s lesson is environmental conservation.  
Thus [...]

Welcome to Hell?

Just a few weeks ago, the students had their mid-semestral exams. Everyone’s talking about their class’ performance. Even yesterday morning as I was talking to the principals and head of schools, they were discussing about [...]

my boring friends

i realised that my muso friends and i are a pretty boring lot.
we dont really do much except talk about music, make music and a few chicks on the side. and that’s that.

and i am not talking about the wannabe artists who crave for [...]

I miss you

i wrote this a while back but a friend of mine liked it so much that i’ve come to a decision to re-post this…
saying ‘i miss you’ doesnt quite cut it for me…
i would understand and feel what has been uttered to the fullest if someone says it to me. however, i feel, whenever i [...]
