I think writers are metaphor crafters!
The trick lies in using original metaphors that are quirky yet remain accessible to most readers. Thoughtful writing without resorting to the run-of-the-mill ones
As a language teacher and cross cultural enthusiast, I appreciate particularly the portions in which different cultures view time and space in ways that are foreign and counterintuitive to us. The world holds infinite ways of being
Thanks for pouring so much effort into your book review. I feel like I get a sense into the nuanced person that Pertwee was!
No wonder you compared me to Shakespeare before.
I still have my high school Chemistry notes! I can’t bear to throw them away
Do you know how to manoeuvre Obsidian so that it functions like our second brain?
I started to use it because of such a promise, but I have never figured it out haha

I was telling my ex-colleague that it still feels surreal. Having an out-of-body experience, in which I feel that my soul is detached from my physical shell and taking up temporary residence in this new school.
He immediately accused me of being Over The Top dramatic. In my defense, I think I didn’t expect a Primary 5 class to be so energetic. Every other person seemed to be talking at the same time. Geez, and I thought I go to work to get a breather from my kids.
Slight culture shock aside, there’s nothing like a significant change to shake up my routine. So, today I:
- ran to school
- joined the new form class for handball (which explains why they were so rowdy during my Science class)
- fixed plans to have lunch separately with one new colleague and another ex-colleague. This is very out of character for me! I like to have lunch alone.
I do feel like an Emperor, trying on new clothes for size and seeing whether they would fit me.
New term, new school, new me.

Two ex-colleagues from NorthLight texted me in the morning to wish me good luck. Their messages had a disproportionate impact on my mood. I never thought a simple message would uplift my spirit so much.
I’m missing 2T6 so badly! Never expected to feel so attached to a class after so many years in the service.
Looking forward to meeting my new students. I have already heard not-so-nice things about them, but after all the love 2T6 has shown me during my last week, I’m just ready to pay it forward and love them as best as I can.
