喊
Shouting and shouting, that's what colleagues thought i have been doing lately. Though there isn't much i can do otherwise if i don't. Its damaging to yourself, it's not very good to be shouting, but it's the least i can do. If shouting raises some note of sympathy, i pretty much hope it will gather hope and action from the bigger population. There is only so much one can do, and some things are better left unsaid and done.

珍重
若是教书有任何的意义，那就是当一位教师看到学生为学业努力拼搏。
坦白来讲，本人并不觉得教书是一件简单的事。有时我们看到老师似乎轻松上课的样子－－－那是一种假象。记得有一位前辈对我说，做一个教师容易，做一位好的教师可是难上加难。经过这几年的折腾，对这句话的体验可谓愈加深刻。
一两天的辛苦其实不算什么，但若是每天如此，这其中消耗的精力可是能把人累死了一般。试问多少位教师可以数十年如一日般地过呢？
可看到学生的辛勤却又是教师的一大鼓舞，亲爱的 4E 同学，非常感谢你们为老师这坎坷的路途带来许多的快乐。虽然我们将分道扬镳，但我想我们所曾经拥有的回忆一定能永久长存的。

狂语
Frankly i was quite disgusted when a friend said that in a realistic society such as Singapore, it is those who are scheming and fiercely independent who will make it big outside.
Off with trying to educate young minds about the right things in life. You will end up destroying them, or subject them to become slaves for the masters.
You teach them well, you become guilty of limiting their success in the future.
So success is happiness?
How about becoming rich and ending up raising a son who snaps up your fortune? How about fighting hard for your whole life only to realise you have no real friends or family?
How about the real definition of happiness? Money? Fame?
Is success in life measured by the amount of dollars you have?
Is happiness a reflection of how big a house you are staying?
Or imagine if a teacher is the person who spouts such words. So what makes a good teacher? Someone who allows the child to be how he wants to behave? An adult who tells him the consequence of his actions and taking the role of a bystander when things go wrong?
Why do you want to be a teacher in the first place then if you are such a kind of person?
If being a bystander is what you preach, maybe you should be a university lecturer, in that way your students are adults, and you will be better off saying all those words.

Exclamation
Today a close friend asked if i was okay; that he sensed that i was very bitter about a lot of things. Although i did not feel that it was so, it might be because i have failed to realize it earlier.
I do not understand about how the world works, nor do i understand why people are the way they are or for the fact that they should be allowed to be behaving in negative manners because they feel things are supposed to be as such in the realistic society.
What is the point of having morals and education if all are to feel this way? Go with the flow so you can have a wonderful and relaxed life?
Feel justified because everybody else is doing the same thing? Or feeling that there is no point changing because it is futile to fight a losing battle?
What ever happened to ideals and dreams?
What happened to making things possible because we wanted them to?
Please do not judge me if you are not those who do not fight for what you believe, please forgive my insolence if i proclaim my likes and dislikes, for it is a short but meaningful life i prefer instead of hiding at dark corners and proclaiming your preferences behind closed doors.
Though, sincerely I wish happiness for all of you out there.

A Brand New 2008!
Oh well, it suddenly dawned on me that my blog postings are super super slow! Its January already and i am still in Japan! Gosh..
Went uncle's place today and he was telling me how old the elders are growing and that all will be leaving one by one, sounds kinda sad doesn't it?
And so time flies.
Maybe tomorrow i will be old and sickly. So maybe will you.
Are your dreams unfulfilled? Have you lived a life with no regrets? Do you really need a lot of money? Are you happy?
Well i guess i am generally, but can i complain that the cab fares nowadays are really ridiculously high? :p

More Japan Photos!
Some random pictures taken in Kyoto & Narita Airport!
I just realised the leopard seal pup is actually a therapy toy for old folks! Its quite life-like and costs USD 4000 each, and did i forget to say that it croaks too!
And look at the strawberry cakes! Simply delectable! :p
