The Art of Feng Shui and The Hungry Ghost Festival

Scary subjects some might say
Well it's the month of the year in the Chinese lunar calendar where the gates of hell are open and the ghosts are out roaming the earth and the believers offering them joss sticks and candles and others to please them and for other reasons...
So how about it guys and girls?

Any input on how to behave this coming month of the Hungry ghost Festivals?
Philip Aw is supposed to come out with the Lower 6 Arts 5's class discussion on this issue. All 19 of them.
I think I'll ask Christopher Chong to come out with Upper 6 Arts 3's class discussion. Do you agree Amy and Ee Ping? Or do you want to do it?
As for 3A, I'll just have to ask Brandon or Barnabas to do it with Adriel.
Do you believe in it or just hearsay or do you experience it before.....
cheers

Life is Precious

A life was lost last Sunday morning. All due to someone carelessness....
Life is short.
We are all here for a reason. Find out what is your purpose in studying and in life
Go for it and be happy.
Choose to be happy and just do it.
That's why you will see me in a happy mood until I start scolding in class.
Anyway, don't worry if you have done your revision and homework. God helps those who help themselves.
cheers and be happy
Any comments class?

Anwar vs Shabery Cheek

It's here and was here and they did it.
The anticipation of it was killing us all
So it was a great time to see them do it and did it in full view of an audience albeit a partially paid audience...
So how did it go?
Anwar was in his element and Shabery was alas shabby and in shambles avoiding the issues altogether and going for personal attacks.
Frankly, I don't like Anwar from his University days and still don't but then he has mellowed down a lot.
But Shabby was like a sacrificial lamb offered to be slaughtered by Anwar...
What say you guys and girls?
cheers

Homonyms and Plurality

Hi there
Here is the poem for discussion
cheers
Four All Who Reed and Right!
We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes;
but the plural of ox became oxen not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice;
yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.

If the plural of man is always called men,
why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
If I spoke of my foot and show you my feet,
and I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?

Then one may be that, and three would be those,
yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
and the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
but though we say mother, we never say methren.

Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
but imagine the feminine, she, shis and shim.

Let's face it, English is a crazy language.
There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger;
neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
English muffins weren't invented in England.

We take English for granted.
But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly,
boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea, nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing,
grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?
Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends, but not one amend?

If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

Sometimes, I think all the folks who grew up speaking English
should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.
In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?
Ship by truck and send cargo by ship?
Have noses that run and feet that smell?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same,
while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language
in which your house can burn up as it burns down;
in which you fill in a form by filling it out
and in which an alarm goes off by going on.

That's all folks
Any more homonym examples
cheers
