BLOGGING

I don't understand.why do people blog?this question is an irony considering what i am doing. to see if people may actually be interested in what you had for lunch?(a cliched phrase I know) to let friends and family share in your life?yes, that sounds like a very good reason to blog.Or as an outlet to express yourself . to enjoy the feeling that someone out there is reading your thoughts.hmm an admirer perhaps? I can never be a successful blogger in the sense of garnering a wide readership.I do not write sensational stuff. I do not write beautifully or inspiring or wittily or funnily.I hold back a lot , afraid that what i write may cause me to lose friends or potential ones.I can never call someone a shriveled raisin or a sniveling grub outright , as i had wanted to in the first post. i worry that what i write may be misconstrued ..that is why i admire people like wendy cheng of www.xiaxue.blogspot.com fame.her frankness and out-rightness , her this-is-me-so-what-if-u-don't -like attitude inspires and entertains me. by the way ,if you blog, please do not keep on writing disclaimers after stating your stand ,opinion or whatever. one or two is fine, more than that and your overwhelming self-consciousness is betrayed.it is very irritating too.

what do you do if you see a dead rat.

I will stop to look at it. flip it over, sniff the air around it to acquaint myself with its scent.hold my nose if the stench is unbearable. Investigate its cause of death- a raptured stomach?Poisoning? . estimate its time of death. look around for a branch or any suitable contraption of suitable length. Flip the carcass over.Observe.Poke around. would you like to be the rat?

How Many Teachers do you hate?

I HAVE been in the mainstream education industry for ten years. I have met many idiotic depraved individuals who managed to slither their way through Moe and masquerade themselves as teachers.Some may be actually quite alright in the beginning, but after some years in the education landscape, their passion for teaching fizzles and ideals wither and they become yet another Mr/Ms perfunctory, to say the least. HATE may be too strong a word.However I truly believe that everybody must have at least one teacher whom he or she dislikes immensely. For me a particular Ms A sia seals the deal. Whenever I think of her I cant help but grimace . She is the most insipid and discouraging teacher I have come across, my honoring her with this post is evidence of how much I loath her. She apathy made me felt small and insignificant. I will always remember the arrogant look on her face when she signaled for me to answer a question by jutting out her chin, without once looking in my direction, It may be difficult for you to appreciate how I felt as you do not know the context of our relationship, or lack of one. Also, she always dismisses me and my friend's questions or say she has no time to entertain us, even if we ask her questions at the most appropriate of times. All the while she says sagely to the class," the only way to learn is to ask.. how can you learn if you behave as if you are a wood block?" I can feel that teaching is a joyless chore for her. I pray that she will retire soon.It'll be for hers and everyone's good.
