My, you all have graduated.. for real..





I miss you all.
I will miss you all.
I was touched, when a few of you waved for me to go over and take photos with you all.
Perhaps our last group photo together.
**************************************
Because, deep inside, I know it will never be the same again.
Our class T-shirt says," Friends Forever."
It may be tough to stay friends forever to the friends we thought we will and as much as we want to...
Because as we embark on different paths, take on different roles, fulfil various commitments and have different priorities in lives...change is the only constant we have to embrace...
But some feelings and sweet memories will be compartmentalized and storied carefully forever...
****************************************

@ each phrase of graduation, from the 4N ceremony, to the 4E5N ceremony to the prom night, somhow, fewer and fewer students attended the ceremonies.
It is almost like how we move through different phrases of our lives.
Soon, you may find out some things just get less and you want more of some things.
More or less, are they the same?
If not, how different are there?
How you perceive the things and people around you and make the best out of situations matters.
Numbers matter to most.
Perhaps way too much in every word of it.
Test marks. Number of As. Number of achievements. Number of qualifications. Numbers numbers and more numbers. We are almost haunted by numbers in our daily routines and lives.
Why do things get so complicated by the endless combinations of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0?
Did we remember to count how many As we scored with our families and friends today?
******************************
那晚,每个到场的学生都获赠一个面具.
有几个小瓜说虽然面具很好看,但是戴起来不舒服,还是不戴了。
没有带着面具的小瓜笑容灿烂。
以后毕业了,不喜欢面具的你们或许有了隐形的面具也不知道。
但求你们都要记得无论如何要保持一颗赤子之心和最真的笑容......
******************************
你们毕业了。
我也要振作。
要打起精神!
