It's A World Record!!

I just read the headline in today's Google news from Bernama News:
World Record Of One Million Tweets Targeted On Malaysia's 55th Independence Day
http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v6/newsindex.php?id=690309

and I was like, "Seriously!??"

I'm getting really, like really really irked with people being obsessed with hitting world record for this, world record for that... oh pleeze! Spare me the hot air balooning!

One question is all I ask - WHY do we find the need to prove our capabilities? Did anyone question our capabilities? Does the world undermine us? Have we been wrong countless times for us to decide that we have to prove to the world otherwise?

You know what I believe?
- I think we're in Malaysia have been, and are, doing just fine! In fact, we're doing just Great!! 

And that's the real spirit!

Happy Mother's Day

Tribute to all mothers, esp. my mum, and Mary, Mother of God.

Talk on Autism

If you are a parent whose child is autistic, or if you know of anyone who has an autistic child, or even if you suspect your child may be autistic, and want to know how to identify the symptoms, then it would be very beneficial for you to attend a 2-day workshop where you can learn how to deal with autism. This workshop is conducted by Ruth S. Arunasalam who has vast experience in teaching students of all ages, from school going children to professional adults, and who is also specialized in autism.

I know Ruth in person as she is my current TESOL teacher whose motive in teaching is purely selfless and goes all out to make sure we all leave this course fully armed with all the training and knowledge to enter into the real world of teaching. In fact, I am already feeling more and more confident after every class, and I daresay I will be fully prepared to start teaching by the end of her class, which would be end February.
