On 27th April, I handed in my resignation letter.
With that, I ended my short stint, teaching English to the undergraduates of Berjaya University College of Hospitality.
Looking back, the best times were in the classroom, imparting my knowledge of English grammar to those eager beavers.
I like my Foundation students-Hana, Sheida, Alvin, Joshua and Alan. Glad they did well in the first semester. Hana, Sheida and Alvin came in with good As while Joshua and Alan got in with strong Bs.
As for the April intake,I have done my initial evaluation. Angela, Mok,Fun and Tee are progessing well and so is Kevin. Middle of the road students include Ben, Yew, Yung, Faizal and Ughandran.
The weaker ones in need of help includes Cze Kiat and Shin Pei.
I hope my replacement teacher will carry on the momentum I have set so that these students can excel in the finals.

One Night in Paris?
What a title! 'One night in Paris'. For the uninitiated, Paris is not our gay Paree in France but Paris Whitney Hilton. It is a pun on the words 'in', 'night' and 'Paris'. It's sexual innuendo referring to having a sexual encounter with that delectable and vivacious Paris Hilton.
A runaway Bohemian at heart, Paris comes across as a person who is naive, gullible and precocious. Sadly, opportunists have taken advantage of this girl's weakness for both sex and fame. The result-she lost most of the fortune in her grandfather's will.
Paris has that youthful look - beautiful innocence - but how long will that sustain her?
She can't act, she can't sing. She can only pout and do sex.
At 28, the window of fame is fast closing on her. Soon she will be written off and sent to the dark recess of the archives of notorious pseudo stardom.
I do not foresee a good or happy future for Paris Hilton. Enjoy while you can, my pretty lass! Flaunt your youth and body while you still have them.
And then quietly make your exit!
In Memory of Saadah Din
Where was I on 2nd May 2009?
Yes, I was home teaching Shun and Jon before 11.30 am.
Then I went over to Section 14 at 2.00 pm to teach my 23 students at PT Seri Ilmuan, had a piece of Indian popiah with Peen and then went to DUMC for the evening service.
But a sad thing happened on 2nd May. I did not know then.
Yesterday, I received an email from my elder sister. She said in that email that our good friend,Saadah Din has passed on.
I intended to ring up Siti Salmah in the evening as soon as I have finished teaching Janice English literature. But that was not to be as Siti,as if by sixth sense, rang up first to inform me about Saadah.
She apparently was in remission after removing half of her womb.Happily married to her husband who happened to be her ex teacher, Saadah shunned her head-dress and Muslim garbs and showed her pretty self once more.
The last time I saw her was at the MIMOS office at TTM where she helmed Admin and Finance. That was ages ago. She passed away on May 2nd.
It's rather sad that Saadah is no longer with us. Not that I was in constant touch with her. We moved in different circles after we left KPA in the early 80's.
I remembered what my Sister used to say about Saadah-that she married her ex-husband on the same day that he married the first wife which was in the morning. Saadah married in the evening on the self-same day. Incredible!
In my mind,she will always be her svelte looking self, long hair, sexy in many ways, some naughty talk and always a good friend. May God bless her soul.
