Festivals In Malaysia

Malaysians love to celebrate, and most importantly, we love our Public Holidays. We love all kinds of festivals and thank God that we are from various ethnic, cultural, and religious backgrounds. But whatever these festivals are, the most common things that bind them are; Public Holidays and "Open House" Concept.

This year I plant this plant again. It is now just about 2 week old and about 1 foot tall. It will flower in August when it reaches the height of my chest. 

Some folks (person who gives me seeds) call it Hàm Hương, meaning the " latent fragrance) because the flowers do not have any scent. However, the monarch butterflies come and be so infatuated (or intoxicated) by the unfelt scent that they chose to stay around until they die or the flowers die out. http://njunhung.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/p

Postcolonial English Development

     English has taken precedence over many other languages during recent history. The rise of English as a global language has led individuals from English speaking countries to take the language for granted. In other words, motivation to learn a second language is virtually nonexistent for these individuals. In a specific example, a gentleman from Ireland commented that “Everything that we inherit, the rain, the skies, the speech, and anybody who works in the En

Be Strong

Don't Let Anything Break YOu..
You’re right. People do lie, and cheat, and stab you in the back. There will be people who use you, and don’t love you even though they say they do. But you can’t let that stop you from living. Because there are people out there who do love you, and would never hurt you. You have to find those people and keep them in your life forever. Some people will do you wrong in life. People will say things about you that you never think they will, people will lie on you, peo

It's Hard to Let Go

I have meet my students 4 weeks ago for the short ESL class and now I have to let go. on my second week i cant help but wish for the time to pass by so fast since some of them are not really my cup of tea. We somehow argue with each other almost about everything. Asian culture says that older people know better and since most of them are older than I am I am torn between being a teacher and being a younger person.

I Finally Get It

It has taken me awhile to figure something out, but I think I finally did it. But I want to make sure, so please help me.

I really first encountered this when I came to China to teach. The Chinese teachers I work with did not use capital letters or ending punctuation. When I study on LiveMocha, very few learners there use punctuation either. Then I found English Club, and guess what? Many learners here don't use punctuation either. Until now, I haven't been able to figure out why.

I'm sure they ha
