做人为快乐之本、纯正华语
重蹈覆辙、得寸进尺、豁出去
学以致用、察言观色、公民意识
反盗版、观察入微、意识形态
静观其变、既来之，则安之
打铁趁热、物以类聚、变种
同化、经济、萎缩、意识形态
永不言败、有志者，事尽成
千里之行，始于足下、
天下无难事，只怕有心人
人在江湖，身不由己、
家丑不可外扬、大刀阔斧
忘恩负义、多多益善、意犹未尽
甘甜

Picture Perfect Harmony

I AM an American living in Indonesia and over the past 30 years, have made dozens of trips to Singapore.
The Prime News photograph yesterday (above) of Rabbi Mordechai Abergel, Buddhist monk the Venerable Fa Rong and Mufti Syed Isa Mohamed Semait nearly moved me to tears ('Tributes flow as mufti gets award').
I wish my native country as a whole could demonstrate the religious tolerance that Singapore has been able to cultivate.
Certainly there are good, tolerant people everywhere, and the United States has many who think like I do.
But in Singapore, it is the norm, and immediately observable everywhere you go. On a daily basis, I see Christian, Muslim and Hindu office workers sharing a meal at a kopitiam (coffee shop), exchanging smiles or pleasantries on the street or otherwise kindly extending help to one another.
In all my trips here, I have not once witnessed religion-fuelled hostility or prejudice.
My travels have taken me to all corners of the world, yet I have never found a country that comes even close to the religious and spiritual maturity that Singaporeans demonstrate towards one another.
Many letters complain about life in Singapore, but from an outsider's perspective, what a beautifully pluralistic and enviable society Singapore has.
In many ways, and especially in their tolerance for one another, Singaporeans are a beacon to the world.

将进酒
李白
君不见，黄河之水天上来，奔流到海不复回。
君不见，高堂明镜悲白发，朝如青丝暮成雪！
人生得意须尽欢，莫使金樽空对月。
天生我材必有用，千金散尽还复来。
烹羊宰牛且为乐，会须一饮三百杯。
岑夫子，丹丘生，将进酒，杯莫停。
与君歌一曲，请君为我侧耳听。
钟鼓馔玉不足贵，但愿长醉不复醒。
古来圣贤皆寂寞，惟有饮者留其名。
陈王昔时宴平乐，斗酒十千恣欢谑。
主人何为言少钱，径须沽取对君酌。
五花马、千金裘，
呼儿将出换美酒，与尔同销万古愁！

'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.

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
