Daily advice for HK immigrants to the West:
At work or at play, you may be called on to speak. Don’t apologize and say, “English is not my first language”. With Asians, a lot of time, people just assume that you don’t speak great English. There’s no need to reinforce the prejudice. You can live in humility without the added humiliation. If someone remarks, “You speak good English,” you don’t need to push back too hard either. You can simply thank them. If you want to be funny, you can say, “Thanks. You should hear my Cantonese”. Never apologize for something that can’t be helped or who you are. Be proud of the fact that you’re bilingual or multilingual. Instead of playing along with their prejudicial narrative, you can change their minds by speaking slowly and clearly. When you slow down your speech, you have more time to think and you sound more thoughtful. If you just give off the cuff answers like you’re racing for the F-1 finish line, you’re bound to have to apologize later for your faux pas.

Here’s a little-known fact about me - I absolutely HATED writing when I was in school. But surprise surprise, I am doing all the writing on my blog and social media now. Funny how life turned out. 😂😂😂
And it’s the turn of my boys now… because just how on earth does one teach essay writing, especially to secondary school kids??? All the different types of essay questions from argumentative, narrative, descriptive to even discursive (I had to google that last one), I struggle to even come up with topic-related essay ideas, let alone guide them on how to write a good essay!
So thank goodness for Prune.sg, which is an AI-powered essay writing platform for secondary school students. With Prune, both Ash & Ayd get guided practice and develop their ability to tackle a range of composition types. First, Prune helps them to analyse composition questions with its AI-powered brainstorming tools to avoid going off-topic. Then it helps them to develop creative ideas quickly to maximise writing time during exams. Finally - and that’s the most helpful tool for me as a parent - Prune helps to mark the essay too!!! They get immediate feedback on grammar, vocabulary, and style when they submit their compositions. Wah solid, I like.
You can zoom in on the photo to see Ash’s attempt at one of the essay questions. Yes, I could have just used a photo of Ash & Ayd staring aimlessly at a screen, which will be more IG-worthy. LOL. But I really wanted to show you that Ash really attempted to write an essay based on that and the result was he loved it. He liked how Prune broke down the various parts of the essay into different points by guiding him write down his views in a systematic manner, which really simplified the thought process.
There are tons of online learning tools and portals for pre-school and primary school kids these days but for secondary school kids? Not so many. Which is why I think Prune is truly a fantastic helpline for this group of teens. But don’t take my word for it - sign up and try it out for FREE for one whole month at www.prune.sg/register with my code: CMPRUNEL. No strings attached. 😊

RAPE JOKES - NOT FUNNY NOW, NOT FUNNY EVER
1. Sexual harassment has been taking place in the schools for years, but only recently has it begun to get the attention it deserves. Some have called such attention as an overreaction to normal teenager behaviour who is going through puberty, but sexual harassment can inflict deep psychological damage on young people. Two recent incidents have made it clear to me that we must put our foot down and do something to stop it.
2. Sexual harassment is not an easy topic of discussion, let alone a joke. Derogatory sexual comments and rape jokes are very dangerous. When one person makes a comment that uses derogatory sexual language, others can use that comment and later repeat it to their friends. These friends will then absorb the comment and circulate the derogatory sexual language in their social circles, thinking that “it is okay” to laugh about it thus perpetuating a cycle that is difficult to break.
3. We are aware that the role of a teacher is to inspire, motivate, encourage and educate learners/students. A recent Malaysian student's tweet about her teacher who had joked and underplayed rape has gone viral. It was said that the teacher also made another sickening comment that “if boys get raped it doesn’t get reported because apparently boys would feel ‘good’ about it”. What’s more shocking is the fact that when the student lodged a report to her counselling teacher in school only to be told that it is “normal” for jokes like this to be made as boys feel alright and girls are often too sensitive and emotional. Instead of getting the justice she deserve, she was sent to the same counselling teacher for a “therapy” session.
4. We must put to an end of labelling rape jokes as “part of our culture.” Rape joke was never part of Malaysia’s culture and will never be. The modern society has belittled the voices of survivors, making conventional discussion very one-sided towards the perpetrators. Schools must take the responsibility for preserving an appropriate learning environment that rest primarily with school administrators. Listen to students when they speak up on any form of sexual harassment or approaches made by their teachers, peers, school personnel or any other members in the school. School staffs must never turn a deaf ear to students’ cries for help.
5. Thank you to the student who gathered every ounce of courage that is in her in making a very daring and bold decision of stepping out and speaking the truth whilst still handling her trauma/shock. Sexual harassment is not something young people need to learn to tolerate. Rather, it must be confronted and stopped so that schools can be a safe and positive space for children to learn. Ignoring the situation can often lead to a cycle of ongoing harassment and victimisation. Calling out on people who commit the “humour” of making a joke out of rape or any kind of violence need more efforts. Stern action must be taken to safeguard the safety of our students in school so that in future, actions like these will not be tolerated and it will be put to an end. We should make the elimination of sexual harassment or derogatory actions our top priority. I hope that the Ministry of Education will take action in engaging relevant authorities to make sure this horrendous practice ends.

funny fact 在 Lisa hui 許靜雯 Youtube 的最讚貼文
The way I feel
作词作曲&和音:许静雯Lisa Hui 编曲混合:Awesome Studio
Lisa 的創作心靈:
當你不被你的愛人認可,卻想要引起他的對你注意力,那就只能盡你所能展示你魅力了吧。
只有18歲的Lisa愛唱歌,寫歌,跳舞,Lisa寫這首歌時候是想運用阿拉伯曲風與西班牙風格組成混合,希望藉着異國風情的熱情舞曲展示出她對愛人的那份熱愛。
這曲寫給她的愛人,他會欣賞嗎?
可惜那時候那位愛人已經愛上了另一位女生,而他卻沒男子漢的擔當,不敢勇敢的承認。還取笑Lisa 為他寫的歌,說Lisa寫的歌詞沒意思而且還很搞笑,哈哈大笑地取笑Lisa。其實對Lisa是滿諷刺的,只是Lisa 放不下那段感情,畢竟那時候已經拍拖3年半,雖然感情上的分分合合,讓Lisa心靈有重重的挫敗感,但Lisa 根本不想放棄。
Lisa還是把滿滿的愛意寫給這位愛人。 打從心底希望愛人能夠欣賞。只可惜最後都是有緣無分。
這也是Lisa 專輯裡面唯一的一首英文歌曲。
The way I feel
Melody, Lyrics & Harmonies : Lisa Hui Mixing & Arrangement : Awesome Studio
Lisa's creative mind soul:
When you are not recognized by your lover, but want to attract his attention to you, then you can only show your charm as much as you can.
The 18-years-old Lisa loves to sing, write, and dance. When Lisa wrote this song, she wanted to use a mix of Arabic style and Spanish style, hoping to show her love for her lover through exotic passionate dance music.
Will this song be written to her lover?
Unfortunately, at that time, the lover had fallen in love with another girl, he did not have the responsibility of a man, and dared not to admit the relationship bravely. Also making fun of Lisa’s song for him, saying that Lisa’s lyrics are boring and funny, and do not make sense, and made fun of Lisa with a loud laughter.
In fact, Lisa is full of irony, but Lisa can't let go of that relationship. After all, she has been dating with him for 3 and a half years. Although the separations and combination of emotions made Lisa's heart frustrated as a teenager, true love is what she longs for. Lisa didn't want to give up at all.
Lisa still wrote a lot of love to this lover. From the bottom of her heart, She hope this lover can appreciate it. It's a pity that in the end they were all destined apart from each other.
This is the only English song on Lisa’s album.
