Taking Charge
I was having dinner with a friend recently, and I thought I saw a hall mate of mine at the next table. I was pretty bewildered, and unsure if she was the person I knew as she had grew laterally, considerably. My friend and I concluded that a trend was observed among our peers (ourselves [...]
Roundabout?
Interesting… Was talking to someone yesterday. We chanced opon the topic of life. In the jorney of life, we just have to continue to walk. When we fall, we just pick ourselves up and continue walking. This person told me not to hit the same wall twice. I was thinking aloud… how is it possible when one [...]
Simple Things, Incredible Results!!!
I often hear students ask “Is there a better way to study?” “Do you know how I can learn this better?” Do you always need to find new ways to achieve your results? Sometimes, in life, we started to doubt the little simple actions that we take regularly because we cannot see results fast. However, [...]
Who are you?
Recently, I asked some of my students “Who are you?”. And the usual reply is “I am XXX (name)”. And I asked “Who is XXX?” So Who are You? Yes, You are the top student of your class, if not, your school!! It’s amazing that when you say this on a daily basis, you will [...]
Do you take care of your health?

Faith
I have watched The Legion last month. The movie is just normal yet it is quite motivating. What I take away from the movie is about faith. Have you ever doubt yourself or others? I have to admit that I had. Sometimes, I will just doubt myself. Recently I was troubled by the phone call [...]
Flood in Madeira
My heart goes to the family of the victims. May this year of tiger be a peaceful one. All physicists die and go to heaven. One day, they decide to play hide and seek. Einstein is chosen to be the seeker. When he closes his eyes and starts counting “1, 2, 3,…,” all physicists run [...]
Your dreams versus the world
(Note: I should include a video file to make things clearer, but I can’t find a video featuring the part I want.) Recently I got into watching “Glee”, a TV show about high school kids in a performing group. The club is initially very unpopular and its members are the misfits who get bullied by [...]

Nowadays, everywhere we go… be it as a student in school or as a being in life, we are asked to set goals or we will have resolutions and dreams… However, how many of us actually achieves it? What is stopping us from achieving it? Many students have the desire to do well and excel [...]
Cooper’s dream
My dream car – the mini cooper. I had it on my dream board since last year. A red beauty with clean white stripes. Neat. And my goal is to zip around in town in my own mini this year. It’s amazing how the universe answers my call. A few days ago, my sis-in-law got [...]
The Power of Praise
Finally a post from me after long hiatus. Just a little experience to share. I do not usually have a habit of praising my students with bombastic words, I only use “good!” or ”very good!”. last Friday during class, one of my students amazed me with his retention & application of one of my newly taught skills. I [...]
Avatar rocks!
Yes, I finally caught Avatar on the third day of lunar new year! There must be a reason why 1) this film has been running for more than 2 months in the theatre, 2) tickets were sold out even till today (I didn’t mange to get any ticket on 16Feb10 at 1020am??) and 3) a [...]
You will never be ready, so just do it!
How many of us sit on an idea, a desire, a dream, because we “don’t feel ready”? How many of us need to be totally sure that we can do it, before we do it? But what if there’s never that guarantee? What if the only way to find out is by doing it? What [...]
AdvoGoogled!
It was a long time since I last blogged. In Dec, I took up the book, GOOGLED and I was totally impressed by the impact Google has brought to the world. It hit me straight on what kind of value do I want to add to world with what I am doing. While Google organises [...]
