At the first weekend of December there were 2 reunions.
First was by the year of 1985 BBBs old boys. Was invited and attended after some reservations.To tell the truth, couldn't remember anyone before the day but glad I went with SH. Gave us a rousing welcome. More important, began to recollect and recognise quite a few of the boys. Some other teachers were there too so it was a good night.
Second one involved the UM group of 1979 batch of Bsc with Ed graduates. Didn't attend cuz it was held in Penang. Organiser was a bit irritated with non attendance.
Point to note for both the events. It isn't easy to get attendance. There are those who agree but don't turn up and generally, most people are cautious about meeting up with old friends. So a point to note. Don't expect too much. It is hard work,and you won't get much thanks but just do it as you want to and that's it.

last week of november
Month of november has been a busy month for my 6th form kids at the tuition class.
I have 6 lovely kids for physics tuition and after coaching them for one and a half years, we peak with double the number of lessons in the last month. Well, hope they do well and thanks you kids for giving me the challenge. Hope to see satisfying results in February.

being a blogger
4 blogs in a day. So it is not that I have stop blogging but just not got myself to sit down long enough to do it !!!
Old friends
Met up with P K HEMs the other day. YK bought lunch at Mongkok and tea too. And boy you should see the size of their glasses and cups or shall I say jugs and mugs when the drinks are served. We thought we can drown ourselves in it! Wish I had my camera with me. Thanks for the lovely lunch and sorry your car door broke.So embarrassing.
The chatting was truly nice. Good to know that they are enjoying the challenges of school. Waiting to welcome YK to the world of retirement. To MK and ST, carry on the torch and care for the kids.
As for myself, reminded myself not to be a 'yellow-faced -woman' (Cantonese version of a typical pea brain housewife) now that I am retired.Ha Ha Ha Friends, do let me know if you see signs of the colouring!

who bought this truck of cow dung?
Title is a book from a Buddhist monk. Ajahn Brahm. Enjoyed the contents thoroughly.He talks about
- to get out of depression, to stop oneself from being arrogant or just a good thought, remember 'this too will pass' How true when one is happy and how important to remember when one is sad.
-to be a counsellor , remember you are supposed to be a dustbin collecting all kinds of thoughts and comments not forgetting feelings, but more important a dustbin with a hole at the bottom because you can't shoulder every body's burden.Very true for those of us who are good listeners
-in many situations in life; when there is nothing we can go, just do nothing. This is equivalent to the Christians who tell you to leave things in the hands of God. That is why I always believe the true religion always teaches the same things but they put it in different ways.So don't condemn the next religion and always remember that there is a BIG difference between what God say and what religious leaders say.
-3 most important questions and ans
1. when is the most important time
answer is now. (Remember the poem about yesterday being a dream and tomorrow being only a vision?)
2. who is the most important person?
the person you are with (and this could mean yourself when you are alone)
3. most important thing to do?
...is to care. (And I guess this mean to love and not to hurt.)
Good read, highly recommended. And read with an open mind if you are not a Buddhist.
