My final week in school.

Opening a world of opportunities for them...


 It was my final week in SMKJ. Countdown-ing to the last day of school... This was a small project done with my PMR kids who had nothing much to do but loiter around. Might as well contribute a little knowledge and beauty to the school compound!

The Glitter Jar

A room of fun learning
The Glitter Jar is one of the little things I did in the Room of Creativity.  It was to be a room of fun learning, support and sharing. I hung photos of students, teachers and even fantastical scenery in school.  There is also a reading corner of books and magazines. Cultural corners and art corners are in here too!  Learning is not just in the classroom, you can learn by playing too! Like how poker cards help in Math. (FYI: Poker cards are deemed illegal in schools, to avoid gambling)

Goodbye!
I'm not sure how much I have done for the kids and the school.  However, for me, it was an unforgettable 2 year journey and at the end of the road where the fork is, I chose to walk down another path parallel to it but never intersecting again.
Thank you for the memories...

Far fetched, yet so normal...

A guy who seems so innocent.
Hopes only to make the world a better place.
Through his music and art.
Yet surrounded by people mostly different from him.
We seem similar, yet in so different circumstances.

 Am I a fan, or an admirer?
I'm sure I'm not the first nor the last to think so.

Well... He is only human.
But, would it be cuckoo of me to actually think he might be the one?

*smitten, yet seriously contemplating*

Nothing like accidental entertainment and coincidental encounters

How much do you know about...

brainzzz... not only food for zombies, come find out more!

Did-You-Know section in the room

Share all you know about anything or everything!!!
This is the Room of Creativity project in the high school that I'm currently teaching.
Whatcha think?

Hopscotch in a classroom? Why not?!


Teng-teng, as we call it in Malaysia.
We have one in school! In class!!
A new way to explore the classroom floor, eh?

Graffiti in school? Permitted!


A public school where you can "vandalize" the wall with graffiti.
In Malaysia? Yup!

When great minds think alike...

(cont) they need another mind to actually execute their ideas...

My housemate, Sharon, and I frequently had great ideas and chat about it in the living room.
Sometimes in the car while driving (causing a few miss turns and unplanned road-trips).
The ideas always grows and grows until we end our conversation knowing it is not going to executed anytime soon.
Today we had another great one and I'm jotting it down here before I forget.

Start a sharing blog together! On educational fillers!
Got some mixed feedback from a few other parties, but yeah, we can still afford to fail.
Plus it won't start off as a permanent career whatsoever.
So yeah!

To be continued...
