The World of Tai Tai. Tuesday, January 31, 2017. Sometimes I don't feel like returning home. God, don't take him away from us too soon. I have yet to give him a comfortable life.

The World of Tai Tai: New Day At A New School

http://sinyeelo.blogspot.com/2016/12/new-day-at-new-school.html

The World of Tai Tai. Thursday, December 29, 2016. New Day At A New School. A new chapter of my life had finally begun! I failed to shake off the first day' jitters and forgot to clock in by having my fingerprint scanned. The number of teachers at my new station blew me away, twice as many as that at my former school. The meeting wore on and I finally knew what subject and classes I would be teaching. Praise the Lord, I was assigned to teach only English and a Form One class was put under my charge&#...

The World of Tai Tai. Monday, November 28, 2016. Article on My Art Lessons. The title is originally 'A Realisation As An Overaged Art Student' but it was changed to something cringeworthy. Many young children between the ages of six to fifteen hunched over the tables in the sitting room, sketching and painting. At the age of forty-five, I was by far the oldest student, overweight, too, and somewhat shabby looking. 8220;Well,” she said, “you may use mine. Next time, remember to bring yours. With a flouris...

The World of Tai Tai. Saturday, February 13, 2016. My Love of English. I love English more and more with each passing day. My knowledge of English enables me to plumb the depths of countless literary works. Reading them regularly makes me more knowledgeable, humane and appreciate beauty better. The discovery of new words never fails to encourage me to strive harder to master the language. Twenty years of being in the business of teaching English has opened my eyes to a few things:. He recommended that sh...

Still, we were told that his condition was stable and that there should be no haste in getting his gallstones removed. In the midst of the chaos, a doctor came to us asking if we wanted them to continue rescuing Papa. "Even if he had sur...

The World of Tai Tai. Saturday, July 30, 2016. Review of Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird. Harper Lee’s ‘To Kill A Mocking Bird’ was an engrossing read, teaching me a lot about humanity through the deeds and plight of its memorable characters. Atticus Finch, the protagonist who is a Maycomb lawyer, is appointed by court to defend a black man, Tom Robinson, who has been accused of raping a white woman, Mayella Ewell. In an odd quirk of fate, Bob falls down unconscious while struggling with Jem. They are...

A paragon of a good student - studious, helpful, and good at studies. One recess, Su Ling came up to me and asked why I did not want to buy a reference book recommended by our Malay Language teacher. Touching the tip of my nose in embarrassment, I said, "My parents told me not to buy the book.". The first time I cr...
