Your Singapore

Digging the latest WP update although I’m not big on the default typeface. First time reading about Matt Mullenweg after seeing his catchy blog title: Wrong Number Flirt. I often wonder what my life would be like if I had continued web programming and maintained my online moniker – keymistress. Too much catching-up for me I reckon, after I painfully incorporated some AJAX form validation into the last website I had to maintain (which was totally out of my job scope because I was supposed to be an assistant photography teacher).

Enough rambling. My English Corner (EC) was smooth sailing today, thanks to the snazzy flash website, YourSingapore.com. I thought my EC was tomorrow and hadn’t prepared for it yet, but I had been toying with the idea of doing one on Singapore. Food formed the main part of my presentation with really interesting questions from my students during the evening session:

What are the top universities?

Do the Malays get along with the Chinese?

What’s the military/defense like?

The class was on fire compared to my previous topic on Bhutan. I was rather disappointed with the lack of enthusiasm from them and judging from their response for the other feel-good theme on Earth Hour, the Chinese students really don’t give a shit about the environment or such. I’m now wrecking my brains for my next English Corner, suggestions appreciated.
