During my school experience in Clyde Quay School, i had the privilage of observing a peotry writing lesson. The exercise: Finish a peom starting with "as the moon wakes". I decided to write one too... tell me wad u think! =) -------------------------------------------- As the moon wakes, all is silhouette The lady is red appears in my head I cant see her face but know does my heart her beauty and grace is beyond disgrace Oh do I long for beauty and grace Oh how I desire to adore her face Yet glimpses i get as short as a breath of beauty and grace beyond disgrace Her shiny hair flows like the oceans Her glowing skin excites like a flame You beckon for me yet meet we cannot For all is silhouette, the girl of my dreams...

Football: Malaysia vs Indonesia Friendly

Malaysia played Indonesia 3pm today at Rotterdam St Stadium, Wellington, New Zealand. The Malaysian team in their cool bright orange jersy looked a little nervous playing away on Indonesian home ground. Malaysia trashed Indonesia last year on Malaysian home ground, the Boyd Wilson Stadium, but with a new line-up on both sides predicting the result is quite difficult. In the first half, both teams had similar chances on goal & posession of the ball... and quite fairly there were no goals. The Malaysian team made a lot of mistakes as their unfamiliarity with the pitch stood out. Passess were too short, touches unclean & players hesitating...

The first half ended with both teams needing rest from a half hour long contest. The second half was a very different matter. The Indonesians seem to have lost their steam. Their players were not playing a

B.Ed. TESOL Halloween & Farewell Party

Just a few hours ago the Victoria University of Wellington B.Ed. TESOL Cohort 2 completed a successful Halloween & Farewell Party at Tulsi Restaurant , Cuba Mall.

(In that order.) Then, moved on to performances from Aimi, Fauzi & Afzan as well as Shiela & Mass while enjoying our entrees. Then, we had our buffet dinner. After dinner, each member of the Cohort 2 will give an assigned member of Cohort 1 a gift. Therefore, in the end, each of Cohort 1 gets a gift. We also took the moment to acknowledge Kak Intan, Jai & Tasha for their contribution to the Cohort 2. We began the end with a group photo s
