最近看到了一位同事为了学生而感到情绪非常低落。
她非常努力，想把课业做得尽善尽美，但是却得不到所追求的成果。她勤奋异常，但学生总是无法专心听课，却还在班上惹是生非。
终于有一天，她在上课时转过身，偷偷地哭了。可想当时的她是多么地无助！
今天她还是坚持自己的一份信念：永不放弃！
至此我向您致敬！

失眠的夜
我现在失眠。
为什么失眠？刚才喝了亚坤的 “teh si”，所以辗转难眠。
我现在觉得自己有点心血来潮。
为什么觉得心血来潮？因为无法入睡，所以上网，然后看到一位好久没看到的朋友，然后却又得知了他的 blog 是什么，然后再读他的 blog，所以心血来潮。
然后朋友说他最近很忙，没什么时间上网。
我看了看自己 －－ 我好像也没什么时间在 blog 上面写写东西。怎么我们都这么忙？怎么我们都不在做这些有趣的事了？
于是这个 blog entry 是我在失眠的时候写的。

迷失的我们
最近老发现自己一直在用英语发表言论。
很多时候，我总是觉得华文难以表达心中的想法。这不在于我不会写，而是你们可能看不懂。对于华文教育，我已是看开了许多。华文不该再是主要的语言了吧？华文应该被当作是第三语言吧？
我们向中国看齐，所以大家都须要读得懂华文。我们所受的教育都是和英文挂钩较深，所以华文须要以不同的方法来教不同能力的人。政府所谓的因材施教也许就是这样的短浅吧？
也许大家华文不好都是社会的错吧？我们或许也不该再继续活在自欺欺人的观念中。与其说华文不好的同学是不求上进的人，倒不如说他们是迷失了方向的羔羊？若是华文再也激不起他们的兴趣，那么我们也只好认输 －－ 因为有时真的是所谓的“事实胜于雄辩”吧？

Dealing with Farewells
The scene of dear old Biblio Baggins came into my mind when i decide to write on the topic of farewell tonight. Biblio wanted to be away from his boring life at Bag End and he wanted to go search for his adventure at the very same time. Such was the passion that was burning in his heart that he finally put on his ring and disappearerd right in front of a huge crowd who apparently adored him.
Then, at the end of this week, we would be saying farewell to our dear Justin of 4 Charles. The time that we had was very short; there were not many happy memories capsuled when we were around with him, studies were heavy laden on many of our backs and time was forever in short supply.
Could it be that he is parting for his west heaven as stated in Tokkien's last chapter? Could this be the last time that we might see him? That dear Justin will just return to Singapore and then begin a brilliant career and never be reunioned again as part of our class again?
Or that the class of Sec 4 Charles of the year of 2005 will all be going our separate ways very soon? Time was short and time will be shorter still. In a week or two, the prelims will be here and soon the big Os will come and it will be many new schools and many bright futures awaiting.
I will be assigned another new class and life will just carry on to do its new work... ...
Perhaps thats what farewells were meant to be. To remind all of us forgetful humans that certain things can be so important and so precious, that we ought to be cherishing every single moments of our lives and that we should do our very best each time we are blessed with good things or faced with tough challenges.
To Justin who is leaving for his brighter future: do your best and shine brightly as a star should be and leave your splendour for all to see; be someone useful and be of a person with a undying spirit of service to the community. Do us all proud and one day, if that day should come, maybe the class of Sec 4 Charles shall once forth come again and relive the happy moments that was once shared by one and all.
Bon Voyage.
