Teacher by day, prostitute by night. An Auckland primary school teacher is apparently moonlighting as a prostitute and it has caused waves in the school’s board as well as the Teacher’s Council.
You look familiar... i think you teach my kid English?
God comes along and gives you a double whammy, just so you wake up real good.
And I put it as my wallpaper, so that I am reminded of what I want, what i have to do, and how badly I want and need to achieve it!
Like they say, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. But I’m going to go one step further and sell the lemonade business.
I recently got a ping from a friend on MSN:
AM: heh, love your facebook status. Can feel your passion to quit!
Just for the record my status was:
Garry is serving goddamn time. Give me a strong reason to throw in the towel, please!
As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.
Just happened to read this article on the NYT on a frugal road trip.
Just really needed to say this: I NEED TO TRAVEL… SOON!!!!!!
As of now, I can’t wait to type something like this:
Dear Co-Workers and Managers,
As many of you probably know, today is my last day. But before I leave, I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know what a great and distinct pleasure it has been to type “Today is my last day.”
For nearly as long as I’ve worked here, I’ve hoped that I might one day leave this company. And now that this dream has become a reality, please know that I could not have reached this goal without your unending lack of support. Words cannot express my gratitude for the words of gratitude you did not express.
So 2 weeks back I took a trip down to JB for some go-karting (man, they have some monster machines over there!) with Wenzheng, Sylvia and Chayying. We were having a ball of a time, until we returned to the car. I found my windows smashed, boot broken into, all bags stolen - except Sylvia’s - lucky girl!
I simply couldn’t believe it. I usually follow all safety precautions, except I didn’t consider parking my car at the end of a line of Singaporean cars (mine being the one at the end of the row) a safety boo-boo. It’s the kind of thing you never expect to happen to you - yes especially you - until it happens. Sigh. And it was in broad daylight. And we were racing right at the track right next to the car. 10 metres. I. Don’t. Believe. It. Still.
To make things worse, the Malaysian police are just a laughing stock. We went to a police station and they told us they don’t do police reports. I’m like, huh?! We went to another one, and it was like oh, broken windows, stolen cards - yeah, they happen two thousand times a day. Just give me the details, let me type it in, and then both of us can go on our way, ok? I’m so totally disgusted at Johor Bahru, the Malaysian police force, and the crime rate in JB. I’ve only gotten pickpocketed once in my life, and it was in Johor Bahru. I’ve only gotten my car broken into once in my life, and it was in Johor as well. And the total number of times I have been victimized by crime in my life is a total of two. And i’ve spent a grand total of not more than 3 weeks of my life in Johor Bahru. The facts speak for themselves.
I lost many things. My camera, my ipod, my wallet. And the bastards had the audacity to charge another RM$10,000 to my credit card, too. And Citibank refused to reverse the charge despite my immediate attempt to cancel the card upon knowledge of the incident - I just received their call, and i was just speechless TOO. What’s up with my luck these days?!
I’m appealing to more senior management with regard to the credit card payment. Keeping my fingers crossed now.
So ends another trip to Taiwan. I was there for just 4 days. I promise I’ll update pictures and more details this week. As of now - I’m so swamped I barely have time to breath. Sigh.
I promise it’d be good - Taroko Gorge in Taroko National Park is really pretty! Wait for it…
By the way, I’ll be publishing all my pictures from now on in Facebook as it’s the most convenient way for me to update pictures (direct upload from iPhoto), so if you don’t have an account already, go sign up!
A good friend just reminded me unconsciously why I should get out of IT. Initially, I took the IT route because it was simple. Fun, too. But I realized in university that IT as a hobby is fun and challenging, but IT as a career? Bad mistake (for me anyway).
