Food for the Brains

To teach is to be battered
Scrutinized, and drained,
Day after day. We know this
Still, it is never said.

This was taken from a book which I lent from the library. It perfectly describes our profession as a teacher/ lecturer/ educator. We know we're going to face many challenges ahead but we still teach. Just how amazing are we? I guess it has something to do with our ego and stuff too hahaha. Anyway, I don't plan to lecture for a long time but most probably I'll do something related to teaching in the future. I mean what else do I like other than to tell stories and yap in the classroom where students are forced to listen to you? =P

Happy teaching and lecturing <3

Flow of Life - Soups

I'm salivating as I'm blogging about this. I've been thinking about my Mother's signature soups some time ago. So I had to put a stop to my cravings. I'm going to Ah Yip's Herbal Soup restaurant tomorrow or few days later to have some herbal soups. Soup is essential in any chinese meals and believe me, when you're too into other cuisine such as Indian or Western cuisine and you haven't had any soup for a while, you'll feel the emptiness inside creeping out hahaha. I've been having Indian food quite a lot recently and yesterday I was hit hard by my cravings for some delicious soup. When my request to drop by at a hawker stall which sells soup was turned down, I cooked instant noodle immediately after I went back to the house. I guess I just wanted to drink some soup. So I got artificial curry soup. Wasn't nice but it was ok.

I guess in all types of dishes, I can cook soups better than other dishes. Soup has always been a vital part of our meals when I was at Home. My parents will never stinge on ingredients. If half a chicken is what it takes to make a soup tasty, it will go in! And most of the ingredients used are authentic. No processed or artificially flavored stuff hehe. Ok, enough blogging about soups now, it will drown this page =P

Things and Many More Things

F I N A L L Y

Everything is kinda set as planned. If He told me earlier, my life wouldn't be so miserable for a couple of damned weeks. Now it doesn't really matter anymore because I'm in charge! Thank God I have a handful of really supportive people who support me through the good and bad times. God bless them. Without them, I think I would have emotional breakdown and God knows, what would that lead to.

I will not say that I'll be having my dream wedding because having a person like Him as a husband, the word 'Romantic' and 'Surprises' are not in his dictionary. I think I do both things most of the time. Talking about chivalry being dead. So gone were the days when men would hold doors open for Women, do the talking and stuff. I guess Women demonstrating independence now turns them on. That's the only reason I can come up with to console myself, reminding myself that men are no longer needed, but WANTED instead. I know a great Man would be reading this, he is an exception =)

See? My thoughts go astray very easily nowadays. I can be talking about one issue and the next thing I know, I'll end up talking about something else. This is what happens when I'm multi-tasking. A + B + C = Chaos. I lose my beauty sleep, I worry myself like shit and I'm all cuckoo.

Mad Man

Little did they know what's concealed behind those cages
Mixed, unstirred feelings that have been untouched for ages
Like a man who wears glasses
Don't be fooled by your unprotected guesses.

Little bird born and kept in a mini prison
With little experience, you cannot reason
Wanting to fly, you are wary
Tell me little bird, what is so scary?

A mute boy cannot curse God for his unheard speeches
Why is it that you speak before you think?
Every action has its consequences
Harsh words lashed cannot be taken back.
