I shall immerse myself in my music. P.S Obviously those four lines mean different things..
私は私の詩人の旅に乗り出す.
继续用自己的声音、自己的想法、自己的坚持、自己的倔强做应该做的事。

不一样
Tuesday, January 29, 2008
有时在想，是不是所谓的长大了，踏入成人阶段了，所以以前的年少无知都离得太远，所以过去的幼稚、不懂事、无聊（更低层次的那种）真的已成为毫无印象的历史名词。是现在的我已经不能理解现在的小孩吗？
话说回来，是谁说小孩天真无邪，活泼可爱... ... （活泼恰好可以是蛮可恶的）

What is the Meaning Of..
Friday, January 25, 2008
There are times when we ask ourselves "why we are doing something" (especially when that something is physically and mentally draining to the point you start questioning it's importance)
I guess this happened to me most in the past two years of my life, especially when I am doing something that I am just told to do, without seeing the need to do it or the results of finishing it. (which often means doing another thing..) The interesting thing is I see two differing perspectives in the way we view this kind of work, normally entailing grunt work. The first one is the "try-to-get-to-the-bottom-of-things" mentality, and the other, the "since it has to be done, why not just get it done quickly and disappear from sight" mentality. The former tries to find meaning, the latter, probably just the next step.
Anyway, today our Relief T council actually came together for some after school activity and guess what, we actually played... Captain's Ball... Right I must admit it's been quite some time since I last touched this game, but I am sure the a12 people will fondly remember the many sessions (in fact it is almost every session) of PE where we played this, that is, when we are not skipping PE in the first place.. And we probably look weird to be engaging in this kind of self-entertaining sport to the students who caught us playing.. And for that fraction of a second the question of "what are we doing" flashes across my mind, but that was quickly dismissed. Why bother...
有些东西没有什么好追问的，因为没必要，也因为那样很无聊。这应该就是所谓的不求甚解吧。

虚实浅见
我很肤浅，为了不想看得太彻底
我很虚伪，只因不太值得看仔细
至少，
我很诚实。

《佐贺の阿嬷》
Monday, January 21, 2008
最近又接触到了这一本好书，说起来还是托了学生的福。这是他们的假期读物，而我在批改他们的假期作业时也间接了解了书中的来龙去脉。（开玩笑，改了几十份情节讲来讲去八九不离十的阅读报告，不用自己看都知道书中细节了。）
书中大致讲述年仅八岁的小男孩昭广被母亲因为无法抚养的原故送往佐贺外婆家寄养，尔后与开朗幽默，对事物看法别有一套，人生哲理独树一帜的乐天派阿嬷一起生活的过程。从阿嬷身上，昭广学到了许多积极的人生观，在他未来的道路上帮了他许多。
其中就有几句不错的语录。
“不被察觉到的体贴才是真正的体贴。”
“（考试）一分、两分没关系，加起来就有一百分。人生就是总和力。”
“穷有两种，穷得消沉和穷得开朗。我们家是穷得开朗。”
“你一笑，旁边的人也跟着笑了。”
“只要能道声：‘再见’，就是幸福。如果能说：‘改天见’就更加幸福。要是能说：‘好久不见’就更加、更加幸福了。”

Greek Galore
Sunday, January 20, 2008
Went to the National Museum for the first time in many years with Wei Zhuang for the Greek Exhibition held there. Many Greek artefacts and Roman copies were shipped to Singapore from the Lourve. Hermes, Opheus and Eurydice, a common painting found in the Necropolis to depict the sorrow of bading goodbye to one's departed loved ones. Opheus managed to charm the underworld with his beautiful music and struck up a deal with the wife of the God of the Underworld to bring back his dead wife Eurydice, on the account that he must not turn his head back to check if his wife is following behind him on the way back to the mortal world. Alas, Hermes intervened and planted thoughts of anxiety and distrust in Opheus which made him turn back... only to make him bade a second goodbye to his love. Head of a veiled woman (Known as Aspasia) There were many people doing sketches in the gallery and this is one of the sculptures chosen by one of the many artists there. Socrates Aristotle Having attended this exihibition only makes me want to go to Greece... immediately...jpg)
Gaia returning a Baby to Athena
Barberini Suppliant (not very sure what it means but the statue looks like she is pining for her loved one) 
Athena Parthenos 
Plato
Artemis Bendis
Apollo
Ares, Husband of Aphrodite. .jpg)
The Beautiful Aphrodite, said to be the most beautiful of goddesses..jpg)
She is often sculpted with an apple in her hands. This is said to be Paris' apple, given to her by Prince Paris (yes the cowardly prince acted by Orlando Bloom in Troy, who caused the fall of Troy) and in return she promised him that he will be loved by the most beautiful woman... Haiz.. Lust and Caution...

Age Shows Itself in the Slightest Way
Friday, January 18, 2008
Hitting the big twos might have become something of the past but I realise age shows itself in the faintest manner.
Today I was doing a class skit and the two boys who were acting as Wu Song and the other as the tiger respectively, started to make a go at each other and I was like "Goodness please don't be childish enough to start a fight and get me into trouble.." even though I can tell they are just "playing".. And it dawned on me that they are, after all, a bunch of 15 year old (maybe less) youngsters..
Especially when they come telling my colleague who teaches them civics that they like to take civics lesson because she showed this nc-16 short film in class.... And I was like, wow, 16... I don't even need to show my ic when I go into the cinemas now...

空出两年
Wednesday, January 16, 2008
上班时居然有比我小两岁的同事问我几时入伍，让我不知所措了几秒，不知如何回答。虽然看起来没这么老是好事，懂得保养也值得赞扬，但怎么证明你过去两年所作的事情，证明自己是如何生活的，似乎就有点困难。自从挥别那段绿色生涯后，回忆淡去得很快，忘记在催逼着过去，仿佛有股力量在漂白抹去那心情浮浮沉沉的岁月，使上了色的地方反添了些许空白。 这两年，在我身上到底留下了什么痕迹？可能就是那看得半透不透的心情。

双子座的矛盾
Saturday, January 12, 2008
会说话，不过不是什么时候都想说话。
不会说话，不过总是说不少话。
不爱热闹，却不沉醉于孤独。
不外向，但常被当作外向的人。
很内向，但没人相信。
拥抱黑暗，不忘光明。
很多朋友，很少朋友。
不想想太多，却越想越深。
自闭，但会为朋友一通电话随传随到。
和人能用三分钟就一拍即合，但也能一年同住一个屋檐下仍形同陌路人。
不喜欢说谎，但是还是说过谎。

念新谣
Monday, January 07, 2008
你是我的唯一
巫启贤
很想给你写封信
告诉你这里的天气
昨夜的那一场电影
还有我的心情
很想给你写封信
却只是想想而已
我已经不能肯定
你是不是还会关心
爱与不爱都需要勇气
於是我们都选择了逃避
爱与不爱都需要勇气
於是我们都选择了逃避
或许你不相信我很满意
这样的结局
或许你不相信
我没有一丝的埋怨和悔意
虽然你是我的最初
虽然你是我的最终
虽然你是我的唯一
悄悄地一年又过去 悄悄地想念又来袭
丢掉的心情何苦拾起
时间或许是原因
悄悄地一年又接近 悄悄地记忆闹委屈
读小说情节总很熟悉
眼泪迟迟没一滴
可能都已认清
是当时太年轻
可能都已尽力
是最后的结局
当沉默划过你眼里
呼吸过滤着凝固空气
无声无息
两人的距离
