I Am Hamster

taken from chipchick.com

Don't you just love hamsters?
They're cute, cuddly, clean & well groomed.
They live in a cage that is lovingly bought & ornamented for it.
They run on a treadmill with their all so adorable little legs.

I am a hamster.

Every time I enter my hamster cage, the only thing I do is work on the treadmill.
And just like a hamster treadmill, there is no end to the work.
It just goes on and on and on... and on.
The faster I can run, the faster the treadmill will make me run.

I cannot leave my cage.
There is no way out.
Hamsters need to unplug at a non-work environment.
But there're just these four invisible walls.

I am hamster.
I am 20kgs less.
I am run-out.
I am thinking of some changes.

    Oh no! Babe. Quick take my advice and stock up on UHT milk!

    Anne:
    Maybe hamster went to work for the ministry of education...

    Najib:
    Really?
    I dont remember that one...
    Must have been way way waaaaay back.

    Maybe we can make a new cartoon about the current group of hamsters who got sent overseas & then into the education system.
    hahaha~~

    Trish:
    I'm doing my best to gain the weight back.
    Buying more food & forcing myself to eat more.
    This week I dont have as much work, so I do have better appetite & see myself growing a bit.

    But down there it's still good.

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?
