CELTA Pass B
It’s official. How awesome is that?
Doing the TEYL course right now.
Masterpieces by Ion, Tom, Eric and myself. Ion can draw so well. Did I mention that I love crayons?
A Letter to Family
Dear Michi,
All is well over here, please let Pa and Mummy know and tell them not to worry.
Golden Sweat has been very accommodating with my nonsense and makes sure I get to school on time every day. He is very smart and helps me a lot, especially on grammar and phonetics. When I get too [...]
Teaching Day 4 – First Conditional
Like I expected, I can’t remember what happened last weekend or what went on for teaching day 3 if I didn’t write ‘em down straightaway. There’s a cocktail of English and American accents and CELTA lingo in my head now with imaginary phonemes appearing on everything I say or write.
I got an “above standard” grade [...]
Teaching Day 2 & CELTA Dress Code
Just finished my assignment 1, stealing some time to blog a little. I experimented with using the Overhead Projector (OHP) for my lesson last Thursday. Too much drilling about “chesting” led me to forgetting to use the overhead transparency that I prepared (to give instructions) and had some students fill up the wrong column on [...]
CELTA – Teaching Day 1 & Stuff to Bring
The CELTA course has been keeping me very occupied.
Got a “Standard” pass for my teaching today. It’s not “Above Standard” but I’m happy because I know I still have plenty of room for improvement. Things like pairing/grouping students or “chesting instructions” seemed easy to execute while observing classes, but they turned out really awkward and [...]

Weekend in Bangkok – Part 2 of 2
I’m not your typical shopping-girlfriend so don’t count on this too much.
Start the day with the infamous Chatuchak, and start early! We had a map but we still didn’t manage to navigate so heck, just go with the flow! Stuff here aren’t exactly cheap what with the hordes of tourists that visit, their sense of [...]
Weekend in Bangkok – Part 1 of 2
3 things: Cash, Sunscreen and a Cap.
You can’t hide from the sun unless you’re shopping indoors (and they have a few good ones too). Asian countries like Thailand and Singapore have high humidity levels so you’ll perspire easily. Oh, and wear your most comfy pair of sneakers or slippers.
