Today, before the teacher’s day celebration began, our principal read an email to us. It is from a reporter from Sunday Times. It is mainly about our school uniform. The reporter claimed that he/she has conducted a survey about school uniforms in Singapore. According to his/her observation, Nanyang’ uniform is one of the most disliked as “it is old-fashioned and communist”. Above all, it is sleeveless.

 

Affected by this email, our Mdm Mak hesitated if we should have a uniform revolution, thus, conducted an election about it. She showed us other two new designs………..

 

As a matter of fact, I am not so fond of our uniform when I first came to Nanyang. However, as time goes by and compared to the uniforms of other school’s, I fell in love with our “hongzi”. It is extremely outstanding among all the other uniforms. Rather than say it is “old-fashioned and communist”, I prefer to describe it as unique with high Nanyang identity. That is what we call “个性”. Haha… Also, I thought those two designs looked indifferent from the one we wore now, but they were terribly screwy and ugly indeed.

 

I am not the only one who is strongly for our present uniform. As a result, the whole school including our teacher, alumni and parents declared that we will always support our school uniform. It is our tradition. It is our identity. It is our spirit.

 

Thanks to the meddlesome reporter, I have found my Nanyang spirit and identity which lay deeply in my soul.

 

3:33p.m, back in my hostel

My roommates have not come back yet...feel desperately lonely, but better than yesterday.

Maybe the busy school work could help me to relieve my pain a bit. However, still feel that my heart has been slashed and poked.............

 

The school should be reopen in Malaysia today. How are u? My dear friends?

 

Yesterday afternoon, Pei felt so lonely as i did. So we chatted on the swing for nearly 3 hours! Talked from Malaysia to Singapore, from Singapore to our motherland, and then back to Malaysia............once more, we asked ourselves: Why we are here in Singapore? Was it a right choice for us to study in Singapore? Nobody knows the answer........

 

It's the time for us to adjust ourselves to the previous 'normal' life. I told myself that everything would be OK more than a thousand times. but isit true? I still can't find my heart.......it's deeply fallen into a swirl that made by myself...

 

Sept. holiday is coming on the corner, followed by the end of year exams...==I have to keep my promise to score a higher mark in LA!!!MUST!!

 

Anyway, dust will continue to gather in the corners. Moons will wax and wane. Flowers will bloom and fade. Rivers will go on running to the sea...............LIFE GOES ON!

换上标准的校服、校鞋和校袜，戴上标准的金属表，脱去多余的装饰，标准而单调的宿舍、学校两点一线的生活又开始了。

真的不想回到这里，但这终究只是幻想，因为，我属于这里。

 

和丹虹回想起从前，记得当时我并不是非常强烈地希望去马来西亚，但她背着我找了老师，这才促成了我们的马来西亚之行。现在想来，多亏了丹虹，否则我一定会后悔一辈子的。

 

在malaysia的一点一滴还历历在目，但是却永远无法重新再来一遍，也许有些朋友，今生都无法相见，但心中有爱，应该就已足够了吧？

 

不过也许crystal说的更对，在malaysia，我们的身份是特殊的，在singapore我们是平凡的，但我却觉得，应该说是malaysia给了我家的感觉，中国的感觉，熟悉而久违的感觉，不像在singapore总感觉自己只是一个过客。

 

关于马来西亚的点点滴滴，我会在空余时再多贴一些东西上来，因为我实在有太多太多的话要讲，但是现在，还是来看看我恐怖的schedule吧：

OMG, I'm dying, dying, dying!

自从msn spaces改版后，就没怎么写过。

还记得刚改的那天，惊悚啊……那背景，实在不是用言语能够形容出来的恐怖（其实是我的中文退化了）。

 

最近其实还是发生了蛮多的事，只是受到背景的影响，一直没心情写spaces,现在快去大马了，换个可爱得有点弱智的正常背景，把前段时间遗漏的记忆统统写上来。

 

 

我是说真的，我八百年一次把手机带着去吃饭

我是说真的，我八百年用一次cateen的厕所

我是说真的，我八百年一次带着手机上厕所

 

可是，千年不遇一次的事就在8月7日晚20点**分发生了……

 

我是说真的，它掉进去了……全线瘫痪……

 

 

对我而言，这应该说是Cross-country walk。

那天，我和dada,yangwei一起行动，自恃出发的不算晚，又听说“走也能走到”，于是就一边欣赏风景，一边慢慢的走。由于我们都是很有食力的人,聚在一起讨论什么好吃也是自然的。也正因为如此，我们的脚步越来越慢，曾经一度成了全校最慢的3个。到后来，还要夸张，被开着车的老师们逼着快快走……呵呵，fun run真的是很fun啊……

 

为了庆祝national day而cross-country run，本是一件值得赞扬的事，只是让我们一些中国学生做competitor，甚至flag carrier,这就有点……不管怎么说，我不得不承认，新加坡在庆祝国庆这一点上，的确做得比中国好。不过也许，是因为太久没有听国歌，在外面太久，才会体会到这一点。哎，突然好想回效实去参加升旗仪式啊……

 

 

national day那天，我的foster family带我去了East coast。去过那的人都知道，到那儿不是骑自行车，就是 roller skating。作为一个中国学生，自行车似乎也太没挑战性了。于是乎，我就选了roller skating,要知道，我从前从来没有溜过冰，不管是旱的湿的，单排的还是双排的，因为中国很多溜冰场很乱，所以我妈坚决禁止我去溜冰。

 

没溜过冰之前，看人家溜的时候那种超帅的样子，觉得应该不是很难，可是……

 

当我刚穿好鞋站起来时，四脚朝天……

工作人员把我扶了起来，说我的鞋没穿好，于是把我穿好了鞋，在他离开不到5秒，四脚朝天again……

干妈把我扶起来的时候，由于本人重力过大，差点把她也拉倒。

从借鞋的地方到菜鸟练习场，大概有100米的距离，这路是水泥路，好在两边有泥地，因此我基本是以大脑CPU使用率100%的状态走过那段泥地的（泥地里鞋子的轮子不会转）。但是有时泥路中段，不得不走一段水泥路，在那硬地上，那轮子转得比吃了摇头丸还恐怖，于是，四脚朝天once more……

后来在干妹妹的指导下，我决定，保持前倾僵直状态，任由那轮子滑，因为按照那地形，我总能滑到泥地的那一端的。我真是太聪明了，哈哈哈……“扑通”，高兴太早，四脚朝天……

经过一番挣扎，我终于到了菜鸟练习场有栏杆，让我安全感顿增。不过，有时也因为安全感过而四脚朝天……

不过不管怎么说，我最后还是由很大的进步——我是从硬地滑回借鞋的地方的，虽然速度有限，形象怪异，但毕竟是回去了，哈哈

 

经统计，那天一共四脚朝天狠狠地刷了6跤，后果则是——现在坐椅子时有后遗症……

 

 

今天早上的事……

今天做flag day，给St John集款，累得要死，感触良多……

从donate角度来分析，街上的人大致分成这几种：

 

远远避开型

低头装作没看见型

解释说没有coins型

面无表情地donate型

面带微笑地donate型

捐n次型

主动来捐型……

 

值得一提的是，Chinatown的人们，不论男女老少，不论种族，普遍很好心，没一会儿，罐子里就很多多的money了。另外，很多人一听说是St John就露出笑容，慷慨解囊，终于有点体会liu pei为什么那么热爱St John了……

 

PS：空闲之余，在chinatown吃东西也是自然的拉，由于昨晚吃了约30只干虾，今天早饭又吃到撑饱，食欲不怎么旺盛，再加上今天的主要任务还是flag raising，因此累计只吃了三只腐皮虾卷，一个老婆饼，一个金沙酥，打包了一块蛋糕，一块面包，喝了两瓶饮料……有失水准啊……

 

明天就去马来西亚咯，不过说实话，其实倒也不是特别想去，但的确是个不错的机会……
