    WOW! Tun Dr Mahathir! COOL! He's my fav country leader, always wish to meet him one day. He's supposed to attend TAylor's last year grad ceremony and I would receive my foundation cert from him. But due to some reasons, he didn't manage to turn up. What's the meal about?

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.

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?
