经过朋友的头脑的思绪
与一位老朋友共事多年的我，在昨天让我看到了他脆弱的一面。
他说他觉得非常失望，一群失去了“权力”的学生竟然为了自己的遭遇而感到愤愤不平，改变了他们对团体平日的作风与精神。这件事的发生让他感到非常的沮丧；原来一些人的所谓付出与忠诚是由他们所被授予的权力程度而断定的。他们的举动好像意味着权力是他们原先努力的原因。一旦失去了这样的“优待”，他们就变得非常的冷漠，甚至连态度也变得不可一世。
这样的面对方式是否显示了我们的气量非常狭隘？我们的自尊心是否过分膨胀？我们能够虚心向学吗？我们开始的努力到底是为了自己，还是为了向我们看齐的小辈而付出？我们这样的处理方式是否传达了不良的意识与价值观？我们是否考虑过自己为我们的学弟做了个怎么样的榜样？
⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
他也只能带着一脸的憔悴，口气中叹着的是一阵淡淡的无奈⋯⋯红肿的眼睛告诉了我在前一晚的他，一定是失眠了。

Conflicts
I have been worrying over students and parents and student leaders lately. Some of those of which have not been studying, of some who had been playing too much, of others who are losing focus over their studies. There are parents who are so kept up in their own worries that they forget their children and then start to feel helpless and worried when their children begain to do odd things either behind or in front of them.
Have not been seeing much positive things lately, and would even say that it was quite disappointing to see that a CCA that i have been following for almost 13 years has also taken quite a dip observed from the recent spate of events.
There are people who are concerned of their personal glory and mission that they fail to see the big picture in which they are supposed to play a role, and even ended up making a mess of the beautiful canvas that was supposed to be part of their contribution. Then there are others who feel that they do not belong to any part of their loved ones even when they are so much being loved for. There are even some who lived in the lap of luxury and fail to see the role that they are supposed to play for their families in the future.
It could be cliche to say that they are unknowing of their own happiness and live life decadently instead of being good children or role model for parents, peers and juniors around them but i do beg to differ.
Little people know contentment, some hungers ever for power. Some basked in the love of their parents and refuse to admit that they are fortunate people who have shelters and parents who sacrifice for them.
As i compare to what they are enjoying their life to, i can't help but feel saddened. If we do not treasure, we will then be made to live our lives without our loved ones and so torturing can the feeling be at times that you can no longer feel anything. It is a fate worse than having to adapt to family who you no longer feel close with.
Life goes on, and it moves even if we do not recognise their presence. Time goes on even as we refuse to accept the order of things or how certain process seems to go towards. We have to get on with life, even if it means each step is a struggle, or that it is ever a burden. The worse life seems to treat us, all the more we should push to carry on with our lives. Cause it is precisely these struggles for a better life that we can truly feel pride and satisfaction in all our endeavours.

Moments That Take Your Mind Away Somehow?
Was cleaning my cup when i happened to look out of the pantry window. There was a slight rain on the outside and the raindrops were falling on the leaves of the trees. The air was fresh, light around was a paling white and all was tranquil and fresh... ... and suddenly it seems that we are in a temporary world where we forget that we are stuck with our neverending work ... ... what a bliss!

莫待无花空折枝
金缕衣
劝君莫惜金缕衣，
劝君惜取少年时。
花开堪折直须折，
莫待无花空折枝。
这个早上真是把我给吓死了！你们怎么能够还想在考试的当儿计划到中二学生冒险营呢？
看看上面的诗句；“金缕衣”为你们的“贪乐” －－ 不要贪图一时的快乐⋯⋯要珍惜你们仅剩下的宝贵时间，往着最后的两个礼拜冲刺。
“花开堪折直须折” －－ 花在盛开的时候就是我们应该把它摘下来的时候。倘若不这么做，等到了“花朵”凋谢过后就太迟了。
试问把没有花的枝叶折下来会有什么用处呢？
But then i guess that there is another side to the story. At the time that this entry is being entered, one of my friends actually tell me that i should let you fellows go for the camp.
I was told that i am simply being too possessive and not letting you people learn the lessons of your life; lessons that should be learnt the hard way to remember them by. If not for these lessons or the failures that might come with them, we might never learn what it means to fail, or to learn to treasure the things that we ought to treasure. In this instance, it is the time that will never come back once we depart from our revision to join in the fun for the camp -- and that life has many such similar parallels...
Make clear the paths and you make your choice.
What will your choice be?

她在想什么
（图片登在 http://ms4c05.blogspot.com）
OK! 又有新的网页日记；这次是在回家的路途中无意碰上的一项观察。
照片显示的是一张画有涂鸦的椅子 －－ 一位女生想必在我之前也坐在同一个位子吧？但同样的位子坐的却是两个迥然不同的人。我想她的情绪波动也许非常的大；因为我们应该很少看到女孩子在公共巴士上涂鸦吧？她是否粗鲁我们暂时搁置不提，但她的字句上流露的却是自己心灵深处想要表达的苦楚吧？
她的心情是怎样的？大家是否可以在 tagboard 试着分析与分享？
我将期待你们的回应⋯⋯

Just an Update
Hi pple!
Just wanna say that i will be updating both blogs;
http://hengsia.blogspot.com
and
http://ms4c05.blogspot.com
as one cannot type chinese and the other one can... and please do help me if you know how to combine www.flickr.com with blogspot and still can read chinese. What to do when you are computer idiot right?
anyway i got 4 blogs to the links segment already le. Talking about links, i seemed to recall asking raphael to teach me how to make one, but in the end he never help me. In the end i have to figure it out through trial and error. The moral of the story? Never give up, never surrender!
Cos when you give up you will never know the answer for which you have search for!
As for now, i am just contented that i can post pictures and type chinese at the same time. For ease of reading will be updating this blog if there are new pictures posted.
Ciao~
p.s: i hate those people who can mark so fast! Damned envious!

Sharing a little of my life?
Was requested to share more of my private life? Hmm i guess it does sound mysterious of the happennings of your teachers. When i was in secondary school, i always wonder how the lives of my teachers are. Looks like some things do really have a cycle.
Anyway there is nothing really special about my life; I am just another ordinary person on the street, and life revolves around school, home(family) and friends. If it were just another ordinary week, most of the time would be spent at school.
However if there were something that could perk me up, it would be a good movie, nice conversations with friends in the cafe and just simple meal get-togethers. Hmm i don't watch much of the television programmes on show everyday, as time is really short and passes by really fast always. Recently am reading Da Vin Ci code.. am taking forever to finish it though.
Am losing a lot of sleep over marking recently, and sleeping at odd timings.. wonder if its all like that if you had a lot of markings to be done. Oh well, shall have to wait and see... ...

感人的故事
我们敬爱的前总统黄金辉博士逝世了。
我对他的认识并不深，在他任期的时候也只是一个毛小子，所以对这项消息的反应也不是很大。但当我阅读有关他的新闻报道时，眼眶却不禁有些湿了。
关于他爱的故事，关于他与妻子共同走过的 69 年，我就觉得是一种感动。人的一生也不过那短短的几十年，虽然非常短暂，但却让许多人摸不着它的意义。有些人忙碌了一生，终究寻求不到他的快乐，但却又有另一群人却能天天开心，度过一个充满意义的人生。
黄金辉博士也许就是理想人生的一种代表吧！虽然贵为总统，他却知道自己对人生的要求，并有始至终地追求他的人生理想与哲学。“平易近人”与“充满热情
”的他所达致的最大成就也许就是与妻子所建立的坚定感情。
之所以感动，因为他对妻子的付出是那么的无私，那么的不求回报。而只拥有短暂人生的我们，又能有多少机会遇见这样一个肯为我们无私付出的人呢？我们是否又能做到像黄博士这样？

旧歌介绍
红的黄的橙的灰的
曲：小夏 | 词：彭佳慧 | 编：
静静着仰望着天空 轻轻的哼着你的歌
星星在闪烁 映在黑暗中
可是我的心好重 渐渐的不想说什么
昏昏的烟雾飘渺中
星星在闪烁 我也在其中 可是你从没想过
红的 黄的 澄的 灰的 那么多彩虹
画在蓝色的天空中 我以为你真的懂
红的 黄的 澄的 灰的 画一道彩虹
我走了 给你天空
（回忆起那段拥有 开始有笑容)
This is a very simple yet meaningful song; it is about the proclaimation of a girl who is using a tape recorder for her diary entry. Here is roughly how it goes:
Silently i gaze at the sky.
Very softly, I hymn your song.
The stars are shining bright,
Against the dark of the sky,
But my heart feels heavy instead.
Gradually, I don't feel like speaking.
Blurry are the haze that makes my view.
The stars are shining bright,
and i am amongst them,
but you have never thought about (them) at all.
Red, yellow, orange and grey; so many colours of the rainbow.
Embossed in the blue of the sky,
I thought you really knew.
Red, yellow, orange and grey are the colours i draw for you in the form of a rainbow,
Now I leave, giving you the piece of your sky.
(i think back of memories past, and i begin to smile)

The Rain Has Come
Wow... finally the rain all of us had been waiting for has come. Makes me think of Yanni's "The Rain Has Come". It could be due to a similar experience that he was inspired to write this song. Imagine the anguish that he had to go through after such weather. But then again, he doesn't stay in singapore, so i wonder what was his exact feelings?
Anyway hows revision going along? Haven't really been in close contact with you fellows for quite some time. It sure feels a long time ago. Was talking to a fellow colleague and we have this same sentiment that time goes by really fast; haven't had the time to breathe and half a year have already passed by.
Heard from many that the 15% of the prelims really "sucks"? Well i guess it is, things are a bit rushed and last-minute. But the school has good intentions when they made such a decision. Don't give up and study hard even though you feel that you are not going to do well. Ultimately all this is made to help you get better results for your Os at the end of the year. Trust that the school is making such a decision to help you get your goal. We never will know which are the things that we are not sure of until we really put in our effort to study. That means if we give up and don't study now, we will never know what we do not know.
A lot of times in live we have to do the things that "suck" to get the job done, and many a time it is for a greater good. We must learn how to see far and learn to look forward for that delayed gratification that will satisfy us better rather than to look for short-term satisfaction.
Hope that this makes sense to you fellows :)
