From the Webmaster's Desk - Reader's Feedback

Feedback from Mr. Jake Tan

Hello, I'm a new reader of your blog.I'm taking the Olevels this year and find your website to be really useful. I also like the various tidbits of your life, they're highly humorous.

If your blog posts were to be tagged and categorized it would be much easier to find what I want. I suggest switching to another blog host, Wordpress(http://wordpress.com/) which provides such features.

An example would be to divide your posts in 3 categories, Animation, Human Geography and Physical Geography and further tag them with the topics. This would be easier than digger through the archives(unless you have a search engine?)

My Response

Dear Jake,

First, I would like to thank you for your support... I'm glad that you have found the notes useful and enjoyed the Fun@Work column. Feel free to share this with your friends.

Next, I would like to respond to your feedback to improve the blog. I'll definitely look into your suggestion. I'm used to the layout and functions of blogspot. Let me explore your suggestion and see if I will be able to transfer the information.

Thank you for your permission to publish our correspondence.

I look forward to your continued support.

From the Webmaster's Desk - Head of the Family

Very often, we hear our friends say:

"I make the big decisions in the house and my wife will take care of the other matters... However, there are no big decisions to be made in my home."
(His wife has the final say...)

Lately, I heard of another way of saying this:

"I am the General of the House. I give my wife the rank Major- a few ranks under me. I make decisions for all "General" matters while she makes the "Major" decisions."
(What's the difference? He gives his wife the final say...)

Fun@Work - Generation Gap

In order to promote the speaking of proper English, a teacher in a particular primary school put on a construction helmet and yellow boots so as to imitate "Phua Chu Kang" (a character in Channel 5 sitcom who speaks Singlish) during a school assembly.

When he went up the stage, he asked at the top of his voice, " do you know who I am?"

The lower primary students shouted, "Bob, The Builder!"

There are no failures, only learning experiences...
