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.

Mr. Saint Turns 30

P3 representin' in full force for my birthday.



Great card from P3.



I should have played futsal after school to burn off this cake. Some day I'm going to get really fat.



Got an awesome "Mr. Saint" pen from P5.



Thanks to P6 for the wonderful donuts.



This is the biggest card ever. Thanks to Sofia

Here's a sample of this semester's stealth marketing videos. Hat tip to Nawwar for posting this on youtube.

KL Cobras

I've been playing hockey in the KL division one hockey league. My team isn't bad....





but I am. Notice there are only three players with less points than me. These include:

- The goalie
- The spare player (who isn't even a human being)
- The injured guy/alcoholic coach

Tonight I get my new jerseys. Maybe that will inspire me to start playing sober.

Still Alive

Here are some pictures from ICPU Dress Up week.




Sports Day

Malaysia Boleh!




Career Day



Interesting Hat Day



Hippie Day

In order to capture the true spirit of the day, I didn't shower in the morning.

My School

This is a picture of my school taken by Tuguldur P5. The two buildings in the background are TBS and IDP, which are both part of Taylor's.

Workshop Stuff

I'm on holiday this week, but I have to host a workshop as soon as I get back, so it's a working holiday. The topic is "Technology in the Classroom". Amazingly, I just discovered Windows Movie Maker and I've been farting around with it for about thirty minutes. I just used some photos that are saved on my computer at school. The point is that I've figured this thing out now and I think I can make some boss videos. I'm going to edit this post as I add new stuff to the workshop.

In other news, I'm on my third day without cigarettes and I'm in great pain.

Bandung

This year I chose to go to Bandung for the annual company trip. Bandung is known for it's beautiful women and cool weather. I really enjoyed this trip and hope next year is just as fun.




Nothing bad could possibly happen on this trip.



Take a peek in the window to see how I spent most of my time.



Some volcano.



Les and I at some museum, on the way to the most memorable golf game ever.



This is what happened to our golf cart on the 3rd hole. Actually, it was our caddie who made this mess, but the golf course still found a way to pin it on us. We finsihed only 9 holes because we spent over an hour in the club house fighting with the management about who was responsible for the damages.
