Not Because of One Rotten Apple

Star Q



We are nearing the last third of the month of Ramadan and preparations for Eid is in full swing.  In fact, for most people, it started even earlier in the fasting month, which is a good thing if you want to avoid the mad rush for clothes, house decorations and what-nots!

Signs of Pressure #2 - Meddlesome Others

Star Q
ii.  Ihya Ramadhan



Some parents have been quick to respond that when their children do well at school, it is always because their children are clever, hardworking and that they owe it to their tuition after school.  But, when their children do not do well or fail miserably in exams, they are even quicker to put the blame on teachers as being incompetent and lackadaisical.  It is not enough for parents to dump the blame on teachers, but they also point their fingers where they shouldn't!

Signs of Pressure #1 - Meetings!

Star Q



People will never believe when teachers grumble about the work load that is dumped onto their backs as if their backs were huge cranes that carry tonnes of load.  For one thing, cranes don't have feelings and you can load anything and everything onto them.  However, in reality, even the crane will buckle and break when  loaded with too much weight.

Where Are The Boys?

Star Q


I've been meaning to write about this for along time now.  But after today's situation, I really couldn't confine my emotions and had to release it somehow.  It seems this thing keeps happening every Monday, every time we have our assembly at the assembly ground (or the hall!)  This is the time when we see only the girls do most of the work!

Sore Winners

Star Q

 


I'm sure everyone of us have heard of sore losers; they are the people who lose in competitions, for example, and either go about telling people that the winning team had cheated, or if using sports equipments, they were probably faulty or inferior or the referee was unfair.  In short, every thing went wrong during the competitions and had caused them to lose.  Those are the sore losers, but have you ever heard of sore winners?

Drivers who drive other drivers crazy #2

Star Q
iii.  B4 DL3 E1


This second entry about drivers who drive other drivers crazy is about those people who park so that they can get the best of everything; all for their own conveniences while causing inconvenience to others.   

Annual Price War

Star Q
i.  B4 DL3 E1


Every year during this time of the year, people will be complaining about the price hikes of most of the foodstuff on sale.  By this time of the year I mean when it is near to the fasting month and the impending Hari Raya.  Is it me or does the price of things keep going up every time there is some kind of festivities going on?

Blame It On The Dispenser

Star Q



Imagine the dispenser in the picture above; with sweet delicious lemonade  and slices of citrus within its bowel waiting to dispense the cool liquid into an awaiting glass!  But wait!  Notice that the class is turned up side down; it is not ready to accept the delicious goodness the dispenser has to give!

He came into the Form Six teachers' common room asking where the principal's room was.  We told him that it is in another building.  All the same he spent time with us for a while, and chatted a little bit about himself.

After Two Years.....

Can't believe that I have been too busy to write that I have actually left this blog untouched for two long years.  A lot of thing...
