Thursday, 17 April 2014. 31 things to say for a month - Day 25: Why I left teaching. Day 25: Why I was so upset with teaching. Despite having the option to change a coach at the end of the year, me being the sentimental me, decided to retain our current coach because I felt that he was just beginning to experience a little success with our girls and it would be unfair to change a coach suddenly. Did they have enough sleep? Was I too harsh? Labels: 31 things to say. 31 things to say. 49 days in Europe.

Wednesday, 15 April 2015. I went to Cardiff Bay in the evening and what shocked me was that everything was closed! It is nothing like the Clarke Quay or Keppel Bay of Singapore neither was it like the marina at Nice, Marseille, or Monaco whereby you expect a bustling crowd. The number of people that you can see in the streets could be counted using two hands. haha! Alright, on my next trip there, I must set aside time to explore the place itself. :).

Reminiscence of Memoirs from 6156.84 miles....: February 2015
http://diminishingdominance.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Monday, 23 February 2015. 19: Nice, Eze Village and Monaco. Left to Right (Top): (1) Main plaza in Nice, so nicely lit. (2) Train station in Nice - I like all the train stations in France because they are all so artistic that one will never imagine it to be a train station. (3) Port in Nice - pales in comparison to the port in Marseille but seeing all the yacht and boats docked in the harbour is such a pleasant sight. Where the rich and famous reside.

Monday, 13 January 2014. A long overdue trip to the Holy Land VII. Oh well, I have already finished blogging about the entire Holy Land journey. Why then do I dedicate another post to the Holy Land visit? This is all about my personal feelings and reflections and not representative of what Israelis speak about or what my role as an educator should be. This leads us to one critical question, "For whom does the State of Israel exist for? What about the minority groups like Druz or Christians (brought there...

Reminiscence of Memoirs from 6156.84 miles....: Thirty-one: Ephesus
http://diminishingdominance.blogspot.com/2015/07/thirty-one-ephesus.html
Friday, 24 July 2015. 31: Old City of Ephesus. This part of the Turkey leg was one of my favourite because we had this really knowledgeable tour guide who explained so many things about the Greeks and Romans and their influences in Turkey. So claimed to be the last resting place of Virgin Mary. No one knows how true it is but add a fountain or some spring water and if you have any traces that it might be in any way related to history or religion, you see tourists. One of the many funny encounters was tha...

Reminiscence of Memoirs from 6156.84 miles....: Twenty-ninth day: Cappadocia
http://diminishingdominance.blogspot.com/2015/07/twenty-ninth-day-cappadocia.html
Sunday, 12 July 2015. This was one of the most look forward places to on this trip because it is where we see posters of hot air balloons in the air in typical "Go Turkey" advertisements all over the world. We had to wake up really early to catch a morning flight from Istanbul to Kayseri. Let the pictures tell the story. Valley of imagination: The picture below shows a rock formation that looks like a camel. There were some that depict a couple dancing, monkeys, etc. Blue Evil Eye. Almost every house...

Friday, 30 January 2015. 14: Noisy passengers on Swiss trains. Every country is famous and infamous for certain things or behaviour. The trademark characteristics of a Singaporean are 'Kiasu' and 'Kiasee' i.e. afraid of losing out and afraid of dying but damn efficient (partly because we are 'kiasu' so we want things to be done fast! I am not pro-Asian or anti-Westerners or whatsoever. I strongly believe that every country has its own culture that we must respect. We must appreciate a country for...That ...

Wednesday, 31 December 2014. 2015: A new chapter. My 2015 New Year resolution is to make dreams a reality. After all these reflections, I have decided to pick up Spanish instead. [LOL! Signing off with the quote for 2015:. Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365 page book. Write a good one. Brad Paisley. Tuesday, 30 December 2014. After thoughts of my epic 49-day adventure #3. I am typing this post of mine on my iPhone so I guess I need to keep it short. Why this title? Labels: 49 days in Europe. She s...
