Every year, I'd promise my PMR students a trip to Sibu if they achieved an A in the PMR English exam. To them a trip to Sibu would be the equivalent of a trip to KL for a kid from Kuching or Penang. Imagine a fully sponsored 3D2N trip. Throw in a movie ticket, meal at McD, dinner at a good Western restaurant, shopping at malls, fashion tips, free massage chair sessions & being chauffeured around in a Toyota Rush. It may not be much to many of you reading now but to a 16 year old from a humble background, that's an unbelievable opportunity! I believe in rewarding hard work. I also believe in giving good gifts. Remember teachers & especially PARENTS, a reward has actually got to be rewarding! Spend some time doing research about the aspirations of the recipient & tailor your gift accordingly. Even the most exorbitant gifts may not compare to a meaningful simple heartfelt gift. Dont give someone a piece of something they dont want & expect them to appr...

Of course, there will always be younger ones, more popular ones, or more superior types. But I have never looke...

I'm out in Sibu this weekend after a fortnight at school without any internet. Firstly, I'd like to thank all my Birthday well-wishers. All 115 of them. (100 Facebook wall posts, 8 Facebook messages, 4 Blogger comments, 1 email & 2 tweets.) I know you love me even though you only think of me for 30 seconds in a year on my birthday. Knowing that you took the effort to click on my name & type out a simple message really warms my heart. Really. Thanks. Besides 115 x 30 seconds = 58 minutes! That's a lot of time to be thinking about little ol' me! hehehe~~~ Together with me in Sibu are 4 students. If you've been following my blog for a year, you'll have read this post made last year. I rewarding some of my students by taking them on a weekend trip with me to Sibu. Will write a dedicated blog post about this later. How is life at school? So far so good. The first 2 weeks have been good & it's mainly due to how cooperative the students have...
