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?

Perseverance
What does one do when he puts in his all and yet do not see the results he desires?
I vaguely remember telling one student in 2005 about this.
Sometimes it's so much easier being the bystander.
As long as we have tried our best.
How resilient can one stay?

On Sri Lanka and Israel
Quotes from World Updates:
"Are you going to punish [all the] citizens for that or the man who is responsible? Take me. Say that I violated all these human rights, killed people, right? Do you punish me, Mahinda Rajapaksa, or the innocent people of this country by sanctions, embargoes, travel advisories?"
Mahinda Rajapaksa, President of Sri Lanka, on winning the war against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. (LTTE)
"To the Arabs, Israeli settlements have sliced and diced up territory that once belonged to them, taking scarce resources like water and requiring special checkpoints that make ther daily lives a misery."
On the settling of Jewish populations in the occupied West Bank, Israel.

冰心散文
半夜里听见繁杂的雨声,早起是浓阴的天,我觉得有些烦闷。从窗内往外看时,那一朵白莲已经谢了,白瓣儿小船般散飘在水面。梗上只留个小小的莲蓬,和几根淡黄色的花须,那一朵红莲,昨夜还是菡萏的,今晨却开满了,亭亭地在绿叶中间立着。
仍是不适意!---- 徘徊了一会子,窗外雷声作了,大雨接着就来,愈下愈大。那朵红莲,被那繁密的雨点,打得左右欹斜。在无遮蔽的天空之下,我不敢下阶去,也无法可想。
对屋里母亲唤着,我连忙走过去,坐在母亲旁边----一回头忽然看见红莲旁边的一个大荷叶,慢慢地倾侧了来,正覆盖在红莲上面••••••我不宁的心绪散尽了!
雨势并不减退,红莲却不摇动了。雨点不住地打着,只能在那勇敢慈怜的荷叶上面,聚了些流转无力的水珠。
我心中深深的受了感动----
母亲呵!你是荷叶,我是红莲。心中的雨点来了,除了你,谁是我在无遮拦天空下的荫蔽?

Woots
Today's ICT course by Apple is really a storm!
But it also dawned on one that the road is a long and arduous one.
Though it can still be fun!
It's more than just work, or fun or anything.
One thing that Greg said really struck one's mind; big advocate for fun!
Now how many teachers can really make that claim?

Apple Professional Development Course from 4 to 5 Jun 2009
Quite an interesting course and its good to know new knowledge and sharing experiences with the experts.
Haven't had so much fun in a while with courses already.
And it was not bad a lunch provided by Apple.
And of course a good dinner with pals from work. And the nice nice conversations, although they are too philosophical at times :p
Another day tomorrow and more things to rush!
And did i say that i am hungry again?
