I am Ben or Benjamin, as inspired by Benjamin Franklin and Benjamin Britten.
I have been teaching for years beyond counting, from CE and UE to DSE.
I enjoy reading in both English and Chinese. My favourite English writers include Agatha Christie, Arthur Conan Doyle, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, and Thomas Hardy. I am also a fan of Chinese martial arts fiction by Louis Cha Leung-yung (Jin Yong). So, I may be a bit old-fashioned.
I like listening to classical music by Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and Tchaikovsky.
I occasionally work out in the gym, such as running on the treadmill and pumping iron.
I have been learning mindfulness to release stress in everyday life.
My motto is 'Genius is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration' from Thomas Edison.
