A Self-Introduction

Hi everyone! Actually, I've created this blog quite some time ago. However, I have not been posting on the blog. Well, let me give you a brief introduction of myself...

My name is Juliana Jumain, fondly known as Mdm J by my students. Currently, I'm teaching English Language at Ang Mo Kio Secondary School and I'm proud to say that I am an old girl of the school. It's great to teach in my alma mater together with my former teachers.

The food that I like...

I hope you do not mind if I change it to the most memorable drink I ever had...

This is a honey drink that I had on one of the islands in Vietnam. It is made of natural honey and while my students and I were drinking, there were bees flying around us and some went into our glasses. One fell into my glass and I didn't know what to do. Later it drowned. I felt very bad. So as not to have more casualties in our honey drinking session, we started to save some bees by scooping them out the moment they fell into our glasses.




A place that I enjoyed visiting...

Attached you will be able to see a video taken when my students and I visited a Vietnamese orphanage, Dieu Giac, last year. It was nostalgic for me as it reminded me of my childhood when toys and playgrounds were so simple.

Not only that, the boy in light blue sitting on the swing on the extreme left looked and behaved very much like my younger son. I felt very touched as I was able to feel what it was like to be far away from your beloved family members, but sadly for the children there, the separation could be for a very long time.




Feel free to visit the other blogs that I have created with my students by clicking on my profile. Enjoy!
