Bye Bye Mayflower

Went back to mayflower for a farewell dinner at the old school building. Homecoming they call it. How we have ALL growth up. Everyone look more tire, that's how you can tell. The students have moved on and have taken new responsibilities and roles, no longer the teenagers we were huh. Yet no matter how a person changes, somthings never change. It's like the, the, well the person 'inside' is still the same no matter how many children you have or what car you drive now. (Btw Teenage sucks. I think it's never easy for anyone. Anyone who want to be a teenager again must be out of their mind.)

A lot of us miss the school, some came back for the tour only. Surprising a lot really. Some could'nt make it i guess. But of course, what we really miss are the times we spend in our school. And of course the people. And our augurments, crushes, problems, punishments. In short, our growing up.

What to do? I mean even the teachers are retiring. Might even be a few funeral coming up.(Hey! This is real life, what do you expect?)

Seriously, we have learnt a awful lots of things in Mayflower. Much more than books and exams. And we have met many wonderful people, teachers and students, in here. The friendships forged will last forever. It's not a perfect school, but at least, I like it.
We live, work, and dream.
Each his own little scheme.
Sometime we laugh, sometime we cry.
And thus, the days go by.

Bye Bye Mayflower, to all - blessed be.

I want that smile!

The only smiles i saw the whole day was on the face of the rubbish collectors i met this morning. What power! Instantly we all became friends. What joy! I help them load their load, and they help me load mine.
How many of us would want to have that smile on their face.

and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price"-Kahlil Gibran

I turn my omelet in the pan for the love of God"-Brother Lawrence

And with a wave, they are on their way.

heavy heart

I know not what else to call this blog. The recent passing of a friend has leave me with a heavy heart. Ever wonder why people always gather when theres a birth or a death?
Bush hater out there will want to catch the 9/11 show. I watched it. It's fun. There might even be a grind of truth in there somewhere.
I handed over my duty to a new guy today. So by right, i should be clearing my offs and leaves now. And so should everyone else. But no one in camp seems happy. The only smiling faces are on those who are staying on. Wonder why.

I think everyone of us have a story to tell. I feel we should listen more to these stories, or we'll live in a world of our own. So please, please, go read this online book: The silent ark.

people u please influence u to stray.

U r cute, & everyone loves u. U r a best friend that

feelings and seldom have ur own feelings hurt. Life
is a breeze. U r witty and calm most of the time.
Just keep clear of backstabbers, and u r worry
free.

(35-42 points) U r ZOE.
U r a lover. Romance, flowers, & wine r all u need
to enjoy urself. U r serious about all commitments.
A family person. U call ur Mom every Sunday, &
never forget a Birthday. Don't let ur passion for
romance get confused with the real thing.

43-50 points) U r BERT.
U r smart, a real thinker. Every situation is
approached with a plan. U r very healthy in mind
and body. U teach strong family values. Keep ur
feet planted in them, but don't overlook a bad
