today, i gave my blog address to aunt sally, who is now semi retired in Perth and sort of guardian to my cousin who is pursuing his Masters in Perth now.

so this gives me the motivation to update my blog every day.

random thoughts for the day:
1) Maria Hertogh died. for those who do not study history or social studies, she was the girl who was brought up by Cik Aminah when her Netherlands parents were taken prisoners during WWII. When her biological parents came to claim her back after the war, the british court gave the custody to her biological parents. This resulted in a riot between the Muslim community and the Eurasian community in the 1950.

so the relation to me? well, students were surprised that she was still alive until today. They thought she had died long ago.

2)oasis taiwan porridge has shift to toa payoh gardens. we went there for dinner this evening. children love the egg, we love the cockles.

3) i actually nearly fell asleep on the sofa just now watching tv
