Teacher Trouble

In the car, me and the kids, we were just chatting about the topic 'teachers' on a positive note. Casually, we shared with each other stories about our favorite teachers and why we liked them, obviously, my stories were significantly more interesting. Suddenly, Josh suddenly said, "But I don't quite like my Bahasa teacher...always telling us to hurry up hurry up hurry up. And she beat my shoulder quite hard once". I told him that this is life....there are worse people out there. If you think his Bahasa teach was bad, wait till he meets his future boss. Or worse yet, my History teacher from Form 4 and 5! For the life of me, I cannot remember her name....I should. But this lady is one helluva bomb, I kid you not. When you walk past a class and see a roomful of students standing on chairs, you know she's in there drilling all the kids about dates and places, events and names. You just can't miss it because no other teacher does it! The day before, she would print out dates and events on a paper, distribute them amongst all students and asked us to paste it into our books. The next day, she walks in and the class falls silent. You can literally hear the cockroaches crawl about in glee. "Stand on the chair", she bellows without looking up from her book. By the time she peeks out from under her glasses, every single one of the students have wordlessly gotten up on their respective chairs. If you've not done your homework, you would have your book peeking out of the drawer a little bit so that you can cheat. But this teacher is a bloody smart one. She won't stand in front and ask the questions. Instead, she would walk around the room, therefore, chances of cheating is minimized. She marches around shooting questions at one. If you get the answer correct, you sit. If the answer is wrong, you remain standing until the class is over! Tell you....everyone's shivering cause it's bloody embarrassing to be standing there on the chair! We're all near adults and standing on those minuscule chairs means that we would can be seem from way yonder! And if really tall, the top of your head is only inches from the swirling fan! And kids are really cruel, aren't they? If your friends see you standing on the chair (especially if you're the only one left) while the history teacher is teaching, you might as well dig a hole and hide your face during recess time! But strangely, as tyrannical as this teacher was, she forced me to remember dates I never knew I could remember and history is one of my strongest subjects in school. Hence, my advice to Josh is that, there's always one or two tyrannical ones in every single school. You can't run away from them - and besides, they mean well blah blah blah......After hearing about my history teacher, he said, "Oh". I think he's thinking that his Bahasa teacher is not so bad after all.

Haha. Well, its not so bad when everyone is standing on the chair together is it. Might even be amusing. Mine was the PE teacher who made us run until we want to faint.

Oh where do I begin?! Hahaha My PE teacher in sec school earns the first prize lah. She was disliked by every student in the school! She must have shared her hair secret with Samy Vellu (or vice versa) as I've never seen a single hair out of place. In fact, she would fit right in with the Planet Of The Apes characters.

Mrs P had a masochistic streak. I was in a co-ed school but lower sec girls who forgot to bring their PE outfits were made to attend PE in their panties and white shirts! Needless to say, quite a few people secretly cheered when her car was vandalized in the school compound :p

Stargazer - Stretch Those Sides

I have been doing this pose, part of Cosmic Dance (a type of yoga, I am assuming), called Stargazer pose without knowing it is called Stargazer's pose a lot in the past. You see, sometimes, I don't follow the rules and come up with my own stretches and poses. It is fun. I have on some music, nice, soothing music or just anything I can click on. Then I go with the flow, letting my hair down. Just moving to the music...and that is when I come up with the above Stargazer's pose. This pose really stretches your sides. Keep your eyes on the outstretched hand if you are keeping it pointed to the top, as if you are waving or connecting to a higher energy from the Universe. Your arms will ache a little but hey, toned arms, here you come! :-) For those who want a bigger stretch, it is safe to slowly and gently move the lifted hand towards your back...don't overdo it, listen to your body's complaints and respect it. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, reme

Maid Side-Kick

I was kind of a little sad when I read the news about this - there will be no live-in Indonesian maids in Malaysia anymore . There are pros and cons to having a live-in maid, as with everything else, but for us, we enjoyed more pros than cons. Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me. For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media. Since we were more like partners in crim

Project Wolf Hunting (2022) - Film Review

Less than 10 minutes into the movie, I was already wondering why am I watching this show, and in the dead of the night.  But I was thinking to myself, I've toughened up quite a bit when it comes to things like these... Happiness , Signal , Sweet Home , Alice in Borderland , Vagabond , City Hunter , Tunnel ...these crime and sci-fi dramas and films I endured just so that I can watch my favorite actors in action...they must have really built me some mental muscles.  Usually, I am the late kind because I want to see what everyone has to say about it...so that I am prepared.  I will just present you with reasons to watch and reasons NOT to. Here goes.  REASONS TO WATCH If you like Seo In Guk , Jung So Min , Jang Dong Yoon , Sung Dong Il , or maybe even Im Ju Hwan , you might want to endure this film.  Hint : If you're a fan of Jang Dong Yoon, maybe watch it.  It's interesting. I know we have a lot of post apocalyptic world films all over the place now but this is a little diffe
