My First Kiwi Ball

-
Yesterday, Saturday, night i joined my first ever ball...

The St George Ball 2006

It was a kiwi (New Zealander) ball organised by a student hostel, St George.
However, it is not the "ball" that many of you, my readers, think it is...

First of all, it was held at a large sports bar, Chicago Bar, not a grand hall.
Second of all, all you do there is either drink or dance, there is no program whatsoever.
Jz a DJ playing party music, the dance floor & the bar.

Dress up & pay NZ$30 just for 2 free glasses of tap beer or house wine, finger food and a night of dancing & drinking (at your own expense).
You have to put in a LOT of effort to hava good time...
It wud hav been more economical to jz go to one of the local clubs... free entrance...

The only difference here is u hav many many friends there...
And its really wonderful to hav all ur frends around & buying each other drinks...
Dancing with the girls...
It was really a blast!

My date to the ball, Amanda, was really beautiful tat nite... as usual...
She's a very special person... however, she doesnt realise it...
nor will she accept this truth...
Well... let's all spend some time blessing her when we next talk to Jesus, k?

GBU!!!


As usual, my blog posts are never complete without pictures!

    Yeah, I went to a ball too in Aus. Like you said, you need to put in effort to make it fun, so I went to dance with my friends...AND I broke my brand new pair of glasses. Darn!

    But it was fun, overall, getting dressed for it, my date and dance. :)

What I Learned & Shared At Sarawak English Langauge Education Symposium 2019

Pictures of idea & slides from the symposium shared by me & others. If you're teaching English in Sarawak, join us at Sarawak English Educators.

A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of participating in the 3rd Sarawak English Language Education Symposium (SELES) organized by the Ministry of Education, Science, Techonological & Research (MESTR) Sarawak in collaboration with JPN Sarawak. At last year's, I was involved as a speaker. Year after year, I've witnessed the symposium highlighting all the amazing English teachers in Sarawak & providing a platform for them to share with their peers. It was indeed a sparky moment to rekindle the flames of our battle-weary teaching spirit.
Initially, I was roped in as one of the MCs for the Opening Ceremony, so I decided to submit a workshop-proposal abstract to kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Thankfully, it was accepted! (More about it later.) When I got there, I found out that I was dropped as MC, & given a bigger role in…

What To Do If You Miss A Megabus Ride & How Was The Ride

As an ESL teacher, it's a dream come true to attend the legendary TESOL convention. This year, it's in Baltimore, Maryland. Look me up if you're there too!
As a grad student, money is scarce & any kind of travel will need to be bootstrapped. So, I'm travelling by bus (4 hours) & staying at a hostel (in a bunk room).

Rushing from my last class of the day to the bus stop after saying goodbye to my beloved missus, I missed the bus by minutes. I actually watched the bus leave the stop with my friends (who were there much earlier) staring blankly at me behind the large windows as the bus bustled by. I was pissed. I was also wondering... what's next?
