Seagate SPC!

I am doing a speakers' corner at Seagate during their lunchtime. The topic: Questions you would ask famous people. The simplest topics can generate the best conversation if you ask the proper questions.

Seagate, a manufacturer of Hard Drives, is our biggest corporate client, and is keeping us very busy these days.

Lite On Golf Event 3

It was standing room only as spectators watched the putting tournament.

I didn't have much advice to offer the participants but I kept accurate scores.


Below, the tournament champion sinks the tournament's final putt. He was disappointed to learn that I was exaggerating when I announced a million rmb prize for the winner.


But the world will know Paul won the tournament because of this blog.

Before the tournament, yours truly had to give a little lecture...




And a demonstration. I didn't have the heart to tell them, I was at least a 40 handicap.

Annoying Things Speakers Corner

This afternoon, I did a Speakers Corner about Annoying Things. The students seemed to enjoy it. For if you can get people to complain, you can't shut them up. The most interesting annoyance reported by a student was of their water machine gurgling late at night and disturbing their sleep.

Littel Fuse!

We got the contract with Littel Fuse! I look forward to teaching them.

We aren't teaching the Middle School now. It seems that the government is changing regulations. So public schools can't sub contract to private schools. Or So I have been told.

They like me!

I did a demonstration class yesterday at a company called Littel Tech in the Wuxi New District. I can pat myself on the back because the students liked me.

I hope the subsequent negoiations with the company work out and we get their business.

Seagate Students

The first batch of students I had from Seagate Company were alright. I will enjoy teaching the big lot of them we now have. Thank God, in these times of Economic Difficulties, the school is busy.
