Fornicating Lilys

I hate feeling helpless. I think that's the worse part of being where I am now, where so many factors are out of my control. I really don't like it.
The ruthlessness of this world sometimes really crushes me.

I learnt a new word a few days ago after reading "The Geography of Bliss" by Eric Weiner.
The word is

Mai Pen Lai

Now, Mai Pen Lai is the thai word for never mind, meaning like "Take it easy, there's no need to get to the bottom of this mess.


Thai workers taking it easy as pictured above. Now, the proper way to say this phrase is to use a shrug of your shoulders to signify the relax-ness of your zen, chi-chi attitude to life. Caught in a Traffic jam? Mai Pen Lai. Got hit by stray bird droppings? Mai Pen Lai. No clue what/where you are waking up after a night with hot naked thai girls covered in day-glo paint? Mai Pen Lai.

See, life is good.

so what's in a name?

I like the phrase victorian whorehouse. It brings to mind a cabaret, a place where the imaginations were feasted upon and the people were free. Of course, the rancid bacteria filled vaginas were an eyesore but I must admit, I do like the whole idea





See, it captures your imagination. Knew it would.

Insert a diabolical, left-field, senseless disease that limits their goddamn happy ever after and reduces a good story to a @#$%^-ing tear jerker, then go to the same poster guy that you know:








Last step:

Get all the cash in the world.

just die.

The lessons of history

Today, after much teachings to my classes, poring over history books and looking at ancient scrolls, I have come to one conclusion: That we don't learn any thing from history. At all.

Conflict after conflict, war after war, time after time we make the same same mistake. Kinda like our own existence anyway.

I like aluminium foil!

Teacher Student Relationships

I think that when I do leave River Valley, I would like to have achieved some stuff.

1. Have learned how to speak confidently to the kids.
2. Learn to be calm, cool and efficient in projecting ideas to them.
3. Have impacted their life such that they become better people.
4. $.

we are but mirrors of insecurity/ in a never ending pantomine

our resistance

is love, as always.

i think that what I truly want to do with my life is to write. And I want my story to be great.
