Distance

even a milimetre distance away..
can be so captivatingly suffocating.
i am stubborn. those that seem unreachable is always where i am heading.
wanting to get so near, and thus the distance in between became more and more materialsed as if made of cold hard rock.
communications seem hanging like a thin thread, threaten to break at any second.
as i edge nearer, everything seem to be threatening in turning into vapour.
and therefore i moved away, and then it all became foggy and an air of mystery added to the already unreachable.
getting tired of entrapping within this dilemma.
wouldn't it be easier not to care as much about everything in this world?
yes, it would. it will be less of a hassle, too.

one touching reply so far...

after my Nov 10th note on "show your support if you are a part of the chinese community..."

i got no reply so far from anyone until now.

and i got it from my friend Sharyn on Facebook.

i posted this note on Facebook notes as well and tagged lots of people who is related to New Era College, sadly though, i only get one reply from all of my coursemates and friends.

i know, some people hold the thinking that "it is too late to do anything" "there is nothing we can do" "why would they demonstrate anyway" "why causing so much trouble" etc.

it is never too late. it is this kind of strength that we students should have.

in chinese we say 追根究底, which means no giving up till you unearth the truth or understand something.

we as graduated students feel sorry and sad for the juniors.

we feel sorry if we lost this place we once called home.

we feel sorry for our own community that if NEC changed its form, flushing chinese education system out of its new system.

we do not want to lose our remaining stronghold of chinese education.

even now, 10 months since i graduated, i can hardly recognise NEC anymore.

the rapid changes have shaken NEC.

and now shaken even more and it comes in tides.

what can i say? my heart is still with NEC, rise and fall.

with all my heart i hope it will rise back up and for the better.

When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak.

which type are you? which do you prefer?

i am an observer, most of the times i prefer to just sit around watching...

with my ideas merely forming within my mind, without uttering them.

but nowadays i found that voicing it out feels much, much better.

letting others know what you think is an important thing, don't underestimate your opinion, what you have to contribute might just trigger more interesting ideas.

and what is more, you can compare ideas too!

and so you'll learn more.. ^^
