“How good would I feel after watching it?”
I played it with much curiosity.
On 23 March 2009, more than 200 dancers were performing their version of the musical “The Sound of Music” in the Central [...]

“I still want to be a journalist and I hope to share my experience with more people, especially young ones like you.”
That was the answer I gave when I was asked what I hope to be in 5 years’ time.
It was an informal ”meet-the-students” session at Elias Park Primary School on last Wednesday. Many of them asked me why did I choose [...]
