'Hey, Chicago, Say Hello to Your Next F#@*ing Mayor'
On his best behaviour, Rahm Emanuel looks to trade running the White House for running a great U.S. city

Training for a Tough Job

Much credit surely goes to the candidate himself, a paragon of fitness and energy. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays he starts at 5:45 a.m. by swimming a mile at the elite, perfect-for-networking East Bank Club. On Tuesdays and Thursdays he does 25 minutes on a stationary bike ("Level 14," he says), 15 minutes on an elliptical trainer, 100 sit-ups and weights. On Saturdays he hikes 20 miles (32 km) or runs 4 miles (6.5 km), and on Sundays he has private yoga instruction. Then it's off to daylong, mostly unpublicized, appearances, including meet and greets at 100 El stops so far and hours spent feeding his inner wonk by studying the intricacies of school policy, transit, community policing, planning, airports, homelessness, garbage collection, health care and public housing... A serial cell-phone user, he's constantly dialing donors, prospective hires and legislators, like Illinois senate president John Cullerton, who says Emanuel has been the only mayoral hopeful to call.

英保良"二老板＂ 30万元宴请老员工传佳话

结业25年

我该习惯吗？

又一次对学生的训话。
垃圾、穿着、对老师的反应，无一都是在自己可以接受的标准。
精益求精，每天校歌如此
但却多少人铭记于心？
蔚然成风的东西，一个人的坚持是否可以克服？

Sentence

It really pains to write a death roll.

Whirl

Many things going through in the mind, morality, professionalism and how to survive in the working world.

The problem of stress and the anxiety of students not wanting to motivate themselves and doing well. The knowledge of knowing what to do for something and yet knowing that certain things cannot be done, of knowing the right thing to do and yet not able to achieve.

Baffling, handling, coping, thinking.

Sometimes you just wish you know exactly what you have to do.

海星精神

好久都没有动笔了。

今天早上却为了一种莫名的感动而再次写作。大家为同学投下的票，公众对我们的好评，早会的气氛，都让我深有感触。

就仿佛在就读中二的那一年…………当时我校篮球队对垒美华中学，虽然无法记起成绩若何，但那种万众一心的感染力至今仍旧停留内心深处。

何时我们能再重振雄风，想，现在就是关键。Go with the Marist Spirit!

好文共赏

昨日看到一位旧同学刊登于报章的好作品，这里借机分享：

《灵感在雨天》
断了线的字句
轻击着窗
我展开一张白纸
挽留它的匆忙

感觉被时间串起
栓在摇曳的树上
我用笔尖挑下
化为纸上的绵绵诗行

一滴雨水竟穿透了窗
落在诗名的一个字上
悄悄地，晕开了
一双翅膀

到底是理想还是现实？

阔别

It has been 2 years since the class of 2007 graduated and tonight I am really happy that a particular ex-student messaged me on facebook for a chat!

Sometimes the greatest things in life cannot be expected or counted or measured.

My heart is once again warm and happy!

Thank you!

For once more I see the true meaning of my job again!

新加坡人

和朋友聊天，突然觉得有些新加坡人如此没有礼貌可能是环境造成的。
试想一个拥挤的国家，怎能让人心情舒畅？再加上繁重的工作和无穷的压力，礼貌应该排在不重要的事项里吧？
我们是否太小却又想拥有太多了呢？
