What makes one walk away?
The times when everthing sway?
It's pretty natural that we walk away from things when we think we cannot deal with them. However, do we actually try before turning our backs to them? Do we learn without facing the challenges or being in the sways?
A misunderstanding may happen, things turn sour but do you walk away without clarification just to avoid an awkward situation?
When you find it difficult to love a person, do you walk away without even trying to love? When you assume you will not receive the love, do you walk away without trying to find out first? When you learn that the love you have given may not be as worthwhile, or returned, will you walk away?
We may not find ourselves in a smooth trip all the while. All things do happen for a reason, walking away from a problem is not the best situation. Facing it with all the strength you can find will take you to greater heights.
Don't walk away from things that sway, the unforseen and things that falls on you hard. Don't walk away from the love you deserve. Don't walk away from those who yearns for love.
Look ahead, face all, walk on...

Many worlds
As I sat down in the weird hours of morning, counting down the hours to prepare for work, I craved for a world of mine... these words came flowing...
Do I wonder why?
Why should I?
My hands are small but full.
I miss much, when you are far away.
Off to another world not close to mine.
Whenever you are in sight,
I get a grand insight.
Out here where I am,
I see the world as worlds.
Right here, this moment,
I hope to be inspired.
I saw many worlds before me.
only one I behold.
The one I will miss, treasure and be moved.

Elmo
Yes, that little furry thing you see in Seaseme Street, who sings his song.
"La la la la, it's the Elmo song...."
Years ago, in a class I taught, the kids and I shared this song on one occassion. I remembered Benjamin, who was the lead singer that day. He led the class into a spontaneous mood of singing. From then on, it's la la la la for the class, it marks the day when kids are elmoies and the teacher a elmo!
These are one of those beautiful moments captured into my heart and some of the elmoies. Till date, we remember... These lovely children, they know me quite a bit. My love for dolphins, dogs, elmo and silly stuff. A kiddish teacher was I, don't get me wrong, I teach the real stuff! However, being real to the kids did get many of them to be who they are. I believe in respect and true love showered upon them. My gauge metre on anger can never last long, the out burst of it is usually soothed with little notes they write or smiles they give. The care and concern shown with one another was amazing. The bond created that lasted till now was a gift.
This website is introduced and was created with the time one of my bubbly elmoie has. I remember her as someone really shy. She behaves really well in class. She takes pride in her school work, leadership and friendships. Her journals to me was endless and each time she writes to me, it never fails to put a smile on my stressed-out face. Her eagerness in getting a reply, gosh, it nearly killed me! Sweet-natured and I am starting to realise she is like me. She treasures people around her. Though I am not her teacher anymore, my relationship with her continues to blossom with the online sessions whenever we can. Once again, thank you Rury, for being who you are, so real to me and allowing me to reach out to you. Thanks for touching my life! You will, like the rest, have a special place in my heart...
And... here we go, "La la la la, it's the Elmo song...", did I mention, it is my message tone now!
