Mimi’s Garden of Reflections

About the Book

This is about the beautiful journey I had throughout my teaching year in 2015. In the span of one year, I have gone beyond my official portfolio as a mathematics teacher to become an accountant, a financial advisor, an English motivator, a Thinking Skills course instructor, as well as a science projects advisor. Some would call this versatility. Is it? You tell me. This is about my exploration into the heart of Borneo, to the rural and to the urban territories, for work and for pleasure. It is by no way a suffice travelogue, but you can count on it taking you somewhere unfamiliar from your comfy chair. This is a diary. It was shared with only a handful of people I trust with my thoughts. Now I’m trusting you. There were some pressing issues I cared to share but couldn’t do much with. Who knows? Maybe you can. This is my garden of reflections. Reflecting on anything I felt strongly connected to. Reflected and translated in the form of free-flow writings, poems, as well as selected book and film review related to education in general.
