‘彩排’,不是‘彩牌’

Teachers' Day celebrations!

Somehow that don't seem to be the case for the organizing teachers at all. Coordination to be worried about, prizes, decorations, rehearsals, participants, sound system, quality of performances. . all seem to twirl up as one as we try to list them out in a logical sequence.

These few days, perpetually feeling sleepy, just a little bit of rest time, one can just lie on the table and doze off to lala land.

Getting old or feeling sick?

Hopefully not on Teachers' Day!

Life!

Wow it's been a long long while since the blog moved.

Suddenly i recalled what Kaiz said to me and thought i should share my life a bit.

Pity it's very much revolved around school.

As usual breakfast was very rushed this morning as I had to attend a lunar 7th month dinner with family. Not that i like such events but somehow a sense of responsibility hangs over the notion to say yes. So after a long day at work, i had to rush back in a cab, bathed and before i know it, i was at the very very long dinner.

My understanding of a 中秋晚宴:raise money for charity, fund-raising, social networking, show of spending power, family get-together, etc. . .

My observation of the opera singers at the side: determination, passion, need to earn extra money, be able to sustain interest even if nobody else supports, etc. . .

then i only got to sleep at 0130hrs!

That explains why I am so tired on friday! and then whole day of lessons, clear admin, write emails, meet O for consultation, check out on talentime rehearsals, bring the Xi'an teacher out for dinner, then went out for another dinner with fren and then a movie and now i am at home writing this blog!

super busy rite? :p

平常

每次经过居家附近的饭店,都不怎么留意其中的周遭。
今天却在晚上时分看到一个特别的画面:同样的卖饭阿嫂正聚中会神地工作着。曾几次与她交汇,而感受到的是一种再也平常不过的平常。无论午间或晚时,不同的时段,那种平常依然维持着。
人能做到如此已经是很不错了。纵然有人认为这是一种束缚,是一种折磨,但其实它又何尝不是一种坚持呢?
所以,要是有一天,你在平凡中看到了奇迹,不要震惊,因为平常也可以是一种奇迹。

why

why are kids nowadays so evil?

why do they do wrong things and stay silent even after they have figured that it was the wrong things to do?

or was it that they keep the hope that they will be spared? to leave things in the hands of fate? or opportunity?

why are they not courageous enough to pick up the call?

just where did morals go to?
