雖然還有兩份功課未開頭，但考完試總要hae一hae。昨天每位考過歷史科的同學皆有股怨氣，因為老師出卷確實高明－－通通是讓人毫無選選擇的選擇題，每題均有一部分是你沒有把握答的。這樣一來，各人的功力立見高下；真不得不佩服老師的狠。
立見高下的，也是這個從別人綱誌看到的短片。每逢在電視上看到政府的宣傳片，都有股轉台的衝動；是他們「語塞」？還是因為「沒有message」？無論如何，若你有機會替政府拍片，請參考一下Children See. Children Do.（為什麼教育電影不可以拍得漂漂亮亮？對，因為budget。但可能也關乎有沒有heart，有沒有對影像的執著吧？）

From Original Writer:
When I was in China last month, I saw a Chinese modern dance competition on TV. One couple won one of the top prizes. The lady has one arm and the guy has one leg. They performed gracefully and beautifully.
The lady in her 30s was a dancer and was trained as one since she was a little girl. Later she got into some kind of accident and lost her entire left arm. She was depressed for a few years. It seemed that someone asked her to coach a Children's dancing group. From that point on, she realized she could not forget dancing. She still loved to dance. She wanted to dance again. So she started to do some of her old routines. But by her losing an arm, she also lost her balance. It took a while before she could even making simple turns and spins without falling. Eventually she got it.
Then she heard some guy in his 20s had lost a leg in an accident. This guy also fell into the usual denial, depression and anger type of emotional roller coaster. She looked him up (seemingly he was from a different Province) and persuaded him to dance with her. He had never danced. And to dance with one leg? Are you joking with me? No way. But she didn't give up. He reluctantly agreed. ' I have nothing else to do anyway.' She started to teach him dancing 101. The two broke up a few times because the guy had no concept of using muscle, control his body, and a few other basic things about dancing. When she became frustrated and lost patience with him, he would walk out. Eventually they came back together and started training. They hired a choreographer to design routines for them. She would fly high (held by him) with both arms (a sleeve for an arm) flying in the air. He could bend horiz ontally supported by one leg and she leaning on him, etc. They danced beautifully and they legitimately beat others in the competition.

四面受敵的日子
師兄師姐口中的「黃金週」，對我們來說喚作「黃金月」比較貼切。忙，已到了非常討厭這個「忙．我」的地步。也許天真的曉得我正需要這「忙」為麻醉藥，讓我不至「當機」得太快。
今天Janey提到在這校園生涯的三年間她共失去了三位朋友；開學至今短短三個月裡，我也告別了三位友人。有的萍水相逢，在他生命將要結束前有幸相識；有的相遇相知，一起在癌病的陰霾中踩鋼線；有的，是見證著我成長、影響了無數生命的師父。
報讀神學至今，差不多所有我認識的同期病友不是離去、就是復發；好幾次更在自己身上「發現」疑似復發的徵狀。我不知這是不是所謂「死亡的咆哮」，但我討厭這「四面被兇」的感覺。
喜歡天堂鳥，因為它提醒我結局永遠是美麗的。
黃金月的季節，我需要看到天堂鳥
