Teacher posts her "Ah Lian" photos on blog

Gwen posts pictures of herself in micro bikinis and blogs about her tattoos, piercings and her wild parties with friends at the pub.

She even admits that her actions are "very Ah Lian", which means 'gangster girl' in the Hokkien dialect.

Revealing photos of her in barely-there bikinis would have raised many eyebrows, what makes Gwen's blog stand out so much is the fact that she is a primary school teacher.

The blog came to the attention of the Singaporean online community last week when Netizen alvinology wrote on his blog that he found a Singaporean girl's photo in an Australian bikini contest.

alvinology identified the girl as Gwen and commented that the picture of her in a micro bikini was rather tame, though other pictures found on the contest site were not safe for work.

Another Netizen by the name of Steve Lee then revealed that Gwen is actually a teacher, and posted the link to her blog.

A Shin Min Daily News reporter visited the blog and found Steve Lee's claims to be true. According to information found on the blog, Gwen identifies herself as a primary school teacher, although there was no mention of the school she teaches in. She also said that she was born in the year of the dragon, and it is believed that she is 32 years old.

Tattoos, piercings and "Ah Lian" behaviour

Gwen's blog posts are peppered with profanity, and she reveals that she has tattoos, a nose piercing and often goes partying with her friends.

In a posted dated February 26, 2007, Gwen wrote, "I got myself a new tattoo, it's a picture of a dragon. I was born in the year of the dragon. I know this is typical 'Ah Lian' behaviour."

She also uploaded a picture of herself getting her nose pierced, and says that she is considering getting her tongue pierced as well but has second thoughts, "But my friend who did it had trouble speaking normally."

"I will call the whiteboard a f***ing idiot"

On her blog, Gwen says that she enjoys her job, but there are times when her students get on her nerves. Unable to punish her young charges, Gwen says that she will start hurling expletives at the whiteboard to relieve stress.

"Teacher Gwen will turn to face the whiteboard and start wiping the whiteboard clean (because she thinks this will help her calm down). Then she will start calling the whiteboard a 'f***ing idiot', stressing on the word 'f***'. Once she's done, she will turn around and say, 'Where did I stop just now?'"
