Taylor's Volleyball Club

I've been the volleyball club teacher advisor since my first semester at Taylor's. Yesterday was the first day of training for the new club. Unfortunately, it started to rain as soon as we all arrived at the courts. We still managed to have a good time. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season.

This semester the volleyball club has set up a blog of their own:

Gong Xi Fa Cai

Wo Ai Ni Zhongguo

Me and a statue of an old Chinese lady on my last day in China. I'm going to upload a video of New Year's fireworks when I'm on a better computer.

Suzhou

Christmas at the Humble Administrator's Garden.






















Picked up this Taylor Made Jacket for 150 RMB.






This picture pretty much summarizes what I did most nights.



Suzhou is awesome.

Hangzhou China

Flew from KL to Hangzhou on Air Asia X. Luckily the seats on Air Asia X are bigger than regular Air Asia seats. The journey wasn't too painful at all.



Hangzhou, first stop, Starbuck's








I didn't bring a guidebook or dictionary with me to China. Luckily, I had been to Hangzhou before and knew how to say West Lake (Xi Hu) in Chinese. That got us from the airport to the city center.

Old Pictures from Laos Holiday

This is me in Vientiane on the last night of my holiday. Overall, it was a pretty boring trip, but I might go back because I didn't spend much time in Vientiane and it seemed like a pretty cool place.



Me in front of Laos Central Bank. The currency in Laos is known as Kip. If you have any Kip left at the end of your vacation, it works quite nicely as toilet paper.




Here I am in Vang Vieng. This place is hippie paradise. A popular pastime here is floating down the river in a tube while drinking. Unfortunately, I had a small disagreement with the tube mafia and I was banned for life before even touching a tube. Another popular way to pass time in Vang Vieng is to visit a cafe and sample the "happy menu". This town might be the only place in the world where you can order an opium fruit shake.

Phone Images from Christmas Holiday

We spent about a week in Kunshan. I never saw this restaurant when I used to live there. I'll leave it up to you to guess whether or not I ate this restaurant's specialty.



I thought my memory card reader was stolen from my desk at work. Turns out, I hid it before the holidays so it wouldn't get stolen and then forgot I did it. Flurry of posts coming soon.

Graduation

The VIPs



Here I am looking like a psycho while shaking hands with the consular general.

Cobras In The Star

I told you it was a bloodbath



Here's the link to the play-by-play of the finals that appears in today's Star:

Rollin'

I'm still not sure if I look like a big nerd or super cool on my bike.

President's Cup Winners

The KL Cobras (my team) won the MIHF President's Cup ice hockey league finals on Friday night at the Sunway Pyramid. Although it's a non-contact league, the final game was a bloodbath.

Thanks to Farshad for the picture and video.

Forgot to Post This

I just got a reminder from a student in my Period Six class to post this one.

Forced Retirement

This is the real reason why I've been bumped from I.B. I'll admit that I'm not an easy person to work with, but I think this is going a bit too far.

Period Six

Here I am with Ing and Samantha on World Peace Day.



Jeff and Nawwar on the last day.

Good Night I.B.

Here I am stealing Li Huey's portfolio.





After two and a half years of teaching International Business Fundamentals, I'll be switching to Principles of Financial Accounting next semester.

Here are some pics from Period Three.

Watch This

Ever wonder what it's like to teach in the ICPU programme at Taylor's? Watch this video. I make a brief appearance from 5:15 to 5:25. That's also a still shot of me before you press play on youtube. Hat tip to Meng Zhen for bringing this to my attention.
