From the Webmaster's Desk - Question Not The Little Things in Life

2009-01-23T08:42:00.002+08:00

How did you receive the silence that greeted us?
Did you ignore the pain of the leaves you stepped on?
Would you appreciate the warmth of the sun rays that penetrated through the branches?

When would you discover where the path ahead lead to?
Did you notice the wind chasing the ripples on the lake?
Would you feel sorry for the fallen flowers that once bloomed?

Have you left your warmth on the cold benches?
Did you thank the trees that provided shelter?

Did we miss too many little things in life?
The gentleness of the wind, the fresh scent of the morning...
Have we taken too many things for granted?
The singing of the birds, the rustling of the leaves...

Greet a smile by smiling back, show appreciation with nods of approval.

I did not forget to look back as I take my leave,
I saw the trees waving goodbye in the wind...

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.

A Primary One (7 years old) boy lost his wallet in school.

When he was asked how he spent his money, the teacher discovered that

he bought a one dollar purse to keep the other dollar...
