		<description><![CDATA[When I was in college doing my International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, I used to complain a lot about how so diversified the topics of study are, so much so that it&#8217;s difficult to really be good at any one of them. More is not always better I would start my day with a Mathematics class, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To a certain extent I believe it wouldn&#8217;t be incorrect to say that reading is just not in our culture. We don&#8217;t buy and read books like, say, we watch TV. Having said that, it does seem to me that reading is gaining popularity among teenagers, albeit slowly. But then again, maybe it&#8217;s just me. [...]]]></description>

At one point in the middle of an interesting talk regarding boarding school, he told me that one of his student told him that she has never known any Chinese friends before.

		<description><![CDATA[During secondary school, debate competitions were not really my favourite. Even though I did join quite a number of them including representing my school once, I never really liked them. Yes, they&#8217;re mostly entertaining especially to the audience as we get to watch lots of verbal attacks and counter-attacks between any two debating teams. Some [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everyone thinks; it is our nature to do so. But much of our thinking, left to itself, is biased, distorted, partial, uninformed or down-right prejudiced. Yet the quality of our life and that of what we produce, make, or build depends precisely on the quality of our thought. Shoddy thinking is costly, both in money [...]]]></description>
