Teacher's Voice

Teachers' frustrations

...greatly due to the workloads,

As she has to endure,

endless paperwork,

oversized classes,

ill disciplined students,

and disturbing parents,

Rigid school hours both on weekdays & weekends,

Teachers are forced to contribute to the success of her school, her students

Meanwhile ignoring her own welfare, her family and children.

All these non classroom assignments dissipate the teacher's professional talent and energy.

Poor salaries and fringe benefits too disappoints a teacher.

However,

Today is Teachers' Day,

So brush aside all the stress

And enjoy a lil fun.

Happy Teachers' Day

Rich guy, Poor guy

Poor man, keeps pigs
Rich man, keeps dogs

Poor guy, rides bicycle on the streets
Rich guy, rides exercise bike at home

Poor guy, wish to get married
Rich guy, wish to get divorced

Poor guy, wife doubles as secretary
Rich guy, secretary doubles as wife

Poor guy, pretends to be rich
Rich guy, pretends to be poor

Mama dearest

To many love is merely a word,
But to me...love is a feeling,
A feeling I get whenever I look at you...mama,
A feeling whenever I call you mama ,

A mama who loves to share,
A mama who inspires,
A mama who loves me unconditionally,

Thank-you
Thank-you for being there when I needed you most,
Thank-you
Thank-you for being my rock when I should have been yours,
Thank-you
Thank-you for believing in me...even when I doubted myself,
Thank-you
Thank-you for bringing me up the rightful way,
Thank-you
Thank-you for being the one person I could trust,

But most of all
Thank-you for simply being you-my dear mama.
A mama I am so proud to have which could never be replaced.

Dedicated to my dearest mama...Madam Choo Kim Eng
HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY..

Wesak Day

"Religious Harmony, Key to Nation-Building"...that's the theme of our country 50th year anniversary. And today is Wesak's Day...the day to celebrate the birth and enlightenment of Lord Buddha.


Buddha was the title given to the founder of Buddhism, Siddhartha Gautama.

At his birth, it was predicted that he would become a world ruler or teacher.

Buddha's father (King Suddhoadana) raised him in great luxury, but at the age of 29, Siddharthat renounced the world to become a wandering ascetic and search for a solution to the problems of death and human suffering. After six years of spiritual discipline, he achieved supreme enlightenment at the age of 35 while meditating under a pipal tree at Bodh Gaya. He spent the rest of his life teaching his doctrines and establishing a community of monks, the Sangha, to continue his work.

Lotus candles symbolise the pureness of Lord Buddha,
Wesak Day is the day he gained enlightenment....
....away of sufferings and pains.
May peace be with you and me and all mankind
On this auspicious day of Wesak Day.

Snatch Theft

A preggie young woman lost her life after a snatch theft incident. This happened in the broad day light....Is our country safe ?


I was too a victim of such nasty snatch theft. I could vividly recalled that day. I was in my teens then @ lower sixth. I was walking to the bus-station after my tuition class. It was about 5pm where everyone was busy rushing home. The street was busy with vehicles, motorbikes and buses. So were the people...crowded.



I had a sling bag where I store all my stuff ~ wallet, stationery, notes, hankerchief, comb/mirror, umbrella and books. I carried it over my shoulder acrossed my chest. As I was heading towards the bus station whic was a stone throw from my tuition centre....SUDDENLY..

I felt a sharp pain on my chest. Someone was pulling the strip of my bag from behind. I fell backward onto the ground. My bag gave way and I noticed a motorcyclist and his pillion speeding off with my bag. I did not scream as everything happened in a split second....so fast.

I realised I was sitting on the pavement of the road in an unsightly manner. My skirt was raised revealing my panty....and the buttons on my blouse were undone. I saw a small crowd encircling me. I felt pain all over me...my arms esp around the elbow area. My knees were bleeding profusely. I was in a dazed. Some good samaritans brought me to the hospital and contacted my parents.

I was lucky as I only sustained bruises and lost some cash. My identity card was taken away too.
Thank Lord Buddha.....my life was spared !

It was such frightening as reported in the daily this morn that another woman had died due to snatch theft. I personally felt that these culprits should be severely punish~manditory death and 10 strokes of rotan if aquited of such crimes. Let's put a stop to such criminal act.

Beware of snatch theft.
