Trick or Treat – Happy Halloween
A s we celebrate our last day of school for the month with boggle and party scrabble, my previous grade 7 students decided to have a small Halloween party together with my grade 6 class. We had our pizza and chicken galore, delivered by the Pizza Company at our classroom. Everybody was happy while devouring on the foods with the thump thump music loudly playing in the background. Some danced, some sang and some rapped! I have the talented students giggling their way on a Friday afternoon. When the clock hit 2pm, all of us hurried to the bus and off we went to Northbridge Community which is 2 minutes away from the school to bid farewell to my student Koichi Mayumi. It’s his last day at school today because he needs to go back to Japan to continue his studies....
Au is for Gold :P
I t’s time to review your knowledge in the periodic table of elements and our lesson for today is about Gold which has Au as it’s symbol But let us cut the crap and not discuss the element, let’s analyse the gold in our life. It could represent as our family, work, friends and many more that is as important as gold. I am saying this because as we grow old we learn to value things and people that exists in our daily struggles in life. We all know that gold is one of the most difficult to find elements in the world. There’s plenty of them in the sea and in many parts of Africa but still, you need great courage and perseverance in searching them. Just like the people around you! Some maybe 24k, others will be 21k and so forth. What exactly I...
I smell holiday just around the corner
T here will be a big event in the Penh and it’s going to last for 3 days, for me it’ll be 6 days, whoopeee! Though I don’t have any plans to go out of the city this Water Festival, I have decided to spend it with my family – quality time with them and we are going to have swimming sessions for three days! If time will permit, we’ll go to Koh Kong or Sihanoukville for a swim but if we’re not lucky, we’ll end up at the Phnom Penh Sports Club which I think is not a problem as long as we can enjoy and relax. Talking about swimming, I think I will be needing a good swimsuit for this activity. Something nice and comfortable since I gained weight after giving birth to Aiken. I need to hide the extra bulge of fats that formed in my...
Orionid Meteor Shower
T here’s gonna be the annual meteor shower tonight at predawn hours. This meteor shower happens when Halley passes around the sun on its elongated orbit – every 76 years – it lays down a fresh track of debris for Earth to plow through in subsequent years. Those tracks spread out and mingle over time, and we pass the tracks each October during our 365-day, nearly circular trek around the sun. The best time to watch will be between 1 a.m. and dawn local time Wednesday morning, regardless of your location. That’s when the patch of Earth you are standing on is barreling headlong into space on Earth’s orbital track, and meteors get scooped up like bugs on a windshield. Peak activity, when Earth wades into the densest part of the debris, is...
Love thy books
A s a teacher and a mother, I always impart to my children and students how important books are to our life. They should be treated as your best friend especially if you’re still in school and studying. For me, they’re gems that needs to be taken care of, away from the harmful elements! Books are one of my investments, I collect as many as I can to help me understand things that I do not know. It gives me more knowledge of the issues that are happening around and it educates me more as I read the pages thoroughly. One thing that concerns me when buying is the price of the books. I remember when I was still studying in the university, I always save from my allowance just to buy a small book from the bookshop. I even look for cheap textbooks so I...
