GLAY concert!!!!!

I listened to GLAY's songs since university days. Not a big fan until I attended their concert held at Osaka's Universal Studios of Japan's carpark in 2004. I'm proud to say I'm one of the 100,000 people at this open-air standing concert. And since then I'm a fan of GLAY.

I like all 4 members coz they each have their own attractiveness. Sad to say, ever since the 2004 concert I've not been able to attend their concerts. I was looking forward to attending one this year. But *sob sob* they don't have it during summer when I'm in Japan!

Instead it'll be in Dec'07 - Mar'08. Too close to wedding date. And no more spare cash for overseas trips after my August trip to Japan.

Dear GLAY.... please don't disband for another 10 years! I want to catch your concert again! *muacks*

Local school teachers

I wonder what kind of teachers are teaching in the local schools these days, esp. after witnessing how a teacher treated her student today at an exchange programme held at my school.

The kids were seated on the floor (cross-legged), 2-by-2. As they were supposed to sit closely to their partners, we had to bend down & tap on their shoulders to tell them to sit closer, move in closer. But guess what this particular local teacher did? She lightly kicked/tapped her students' thighs with her feet!! And she was in high heels!

There was another teacher with a super grumpy face, complaining away at how the programme is being run & pulling her students' shoulders to get attention. I heard she's retired but came back to teach. It's nice to have experienced teachers around, but looking at their attitude & behavior, if I'm the student I'll "switch off" during lessons.

With teachers like that, no wonder S'pore kids' behavior is getting from bad to worse!

The mad driver

I hardly drive but am often been chauffeured around. Being the passenger/driver, I've come across bad drivers as described in the Straits Times article "Do you agree?.

Just yesterday I came across this super hot-tempered driver in the CTE tunnel. Apparently his car was knocked by another car behind. He was out shouting & scolding at the top of his voice at the driver inside the car (who knocked him). The man was in a working shirt/pants & looked so professional yet his behavior was like a mad dog, barking away. I wouldn't have dared to come of my car if I were the driver who knocked his car! Even after i drove past the accident scene, I could still hear his voice scolding away. Scary.....

Is there a need to behave that way? No doubt the driver who knocked you is at fault. But it's not as if he enjoyed knocking at other cars. He has to compensate you & pay for his own car's damages!

I'm not a witness to the accident. Don't know exactly what happened. But well, unless at 7.10am in the morning, these 2 cars are having a race or they're enemies before this, such behavior is crazy!

Giant Dorayaki!!!

My dear sister, knowing how much i like Doraemon, bought this big & cute dorayaki cushion for me from Tokyo recently. For those who duno, Doraemon loves to eat dorayaki. Yummmmmmmmy!!

Drawing

Recently after I showed my Pri. 4 students the photos I took with my bf, one of them drew a picture of us together, manga-style. Kawaii desu ne....
