Next week I am being made to go to a workshop on 'image" cause I need to work on mine.... :) what??? a independent confident free spirit Image dosent work??????Oh By the way.. yesterday I forgot to change my shoes and wore my "having too much fun" shoes to class.. wow!! the kids were out of control, they took one look at my shoes and started dancing on the desks.. then before I knew it out came the music and they all started to laugh... out loud... I am wearing my serious shoes today...
"dancing like I hoped noone was watching"Picture this... the 'country barn' bar.. me dancing with old chinese men who can only dance if the dance has a name and they count.. so there I was doing the cha cha ,disco rock,salsa and merengue to kenny rodgers and patti page.. just another sat night in Malaysia ... tomorrow night I am going to a bar called 'little Havana'.. I think it will be asking too much to assume it will be full of Latin Men...
Parent teacher interviews were last sat..

Love ????? so that is the subject of the week .. I got the students to compare shrek and snow white.... and got this from a student......
"what is true love and how do we get it?.. just as princess Fiona awaits in her castle to be rescued by her one true love so too do many of us sit waiting for love to come.. for someone to rescue us from our current state of affairs. well what if that person we are waiting for is really none other than our self....the true love story is really the journey towards wholeness. It is the process of learning how to be love itself and neither give or take love. but just be it and eminate it. If we see beauty in the ugliness and the ugliness in the beauty we realize that every thing is just piece of the puzzle and we are on the same journey. And just like our friend shrek we too are like onions unpeeling the layers to find the beauty within us that incidently was there all along "
Wow eh!!!!! so I am confused.....who is the teacher here :)
