Dream III

3rd Dream in a week.


XX: "Will you mind holding my hands?"

KH: "But I thought you had a Boyfriend (aka BF)?"

XX: "It's ok. He wouldn't know anyway."

KH: "But............."

XX immediately place her index finger towards my lips and she moved slowly towards me. The smell of the perfume was so intoxicating. I was so nervous that my heart started to beat faster and faster..

Then she placed her chin on my shoulder. Her soft silky hair, brushing against my cheeks. At that moment, I felt that my heart will burst out of my ribcage.

"It's ok love. Don't worry." she whispered into my ears.

And she held my hands and pulled me along like a toy.

But I was enjoying it. It doesn't matter (or rather, I don't care), if she got a BF or what. As long as I am not close to the BF, and in this case, a stranger, it will be fine. We went around the place like a loving couple, walking around the mall, window-shopping all over the place.

But good things doesn't last long...

It ended when Md Hafiz sms-ed me. HAISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Dreams II.

I dreamt of a girl. She is overseas at the moment. She was at this table with Steven, Nicholas, Aidil and me. So halfway though, She asked.

"Where Hafiz?"

Nobody replied her.

Then Nicholas said he got coupon for dunno what Airport promotion. Then at the corner of my eye, I saw Eugene crossing the road to come towards us.


Then? Stay tune to next episode of My Dreams II

Degenaration/退化

自从我再2006 年从树群中学考到了我的 'O' 水准证书而毕业后，我就再也没有好好的运用到华文了。 我在这含有至少3000年文化历史的华文运用方式已退化到莫一种程度，到现在我只用华文仅仅在读些报纸里的报章和和别人用华语沟通罢了。

我们原始华文的根源可是从商朝的甲骨文遗迹所演变出来的。但到了秦朝后，我们的原始华文经过秦始皇的所下的命令，才逐渐地经过一番改革和普遍化。在他统一中国前，每个小国和省份都有自己的华文写法。他觉得这太麻烦了。所以当他统一中国后，他也决定统一这个语言的写法。这决定就带来了隶书，也就是我们现在学习的‘摩登’华文。

当我来到了理工学院后，这急速的退化我的华文。 为何如此呢？因为我们的班都是用English来教的。连一个华文课程都没有。但是有一小部分的人还是有机会学华语的。他们可靠他们的卓越的成绩去选 "Chinese Studies" 的呀。

这是个很令人担忧的趋势。如果我们没好好的去学习以及运用的话，那这3000年来我们的祖先所辛辛苦苦所学习的，所传下来给我们的‘遗产’不是被我们给白白浪费了吗？难道这代代相传的语言会在这21, 22世纪，像现已消失的玛雅和印加人，被灭绝吗？

没想到这3000年前的古迹到了现在还没有被人遗忘。

It's been 3 years since I properly studied Chinese for my O levels in my secondary school and I had not been using them in writing ever since. Except for reading and speaking this language, I basically have zero usage in this ancient language, which have its roots from the Shang Dynasty, who recorded their writings on oracle bones in 1200 BC, approximately 3200 years ago.

And the birth of modern Chinese was born during the Qin Dynasty, the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang, decided that he wanted to standardize a unified system for the usage of Chinese in his kingdom. This action of the Emperor eventually leads to the birth of Modern Chinese, called the Lishu (隸書), or Clerkly Script..

So the list below shows the development of Chinese over the centuries. For more details do visit the site listed below.

After 2007, my uses of Chinese had been minimal, other then using basic conversational Chinese with my classmates, due to the lack of opportunities to use it during lessons, as classes were all conducted in English and there is no visible need to even touch on Chinese as it had been relegated to a second-tier language after English.

This begs the questions: Is Chinese less important? Everyone is talking about the rise of China as a global economic power and Chinese is getting more and more emphasis in our global environment. So it brings the next questions: Are polytechnic students losing out to JC students who had a more rounded education and also a more in depth knowledge of Chinese during their 2 year course?

Why not put Chinese lessons into the class? I know there are Courses and Interdisciplinary Studies (IS) in Ngee Ann Poly (NP) which do provide Chinese studies if I am not wrong. But, those are only for those who were privileged enough to get in.

This is a worrying trend. What if Chinese goes the way of the Incas or the Aztec and become extinct and unknown?

It will be the most 'famous and greatest' extinction since the Dodo and the Dinosaurs.

Presented by National Museum of Singapore, in co-operation with Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, Egyptian and Near Eastern Department

Venue	Exhibition Galleries 1 & 2, Basement
Date	TUE 22 DEC 2009 - SUN 4 APR 2010 10:00am - 6:00pm

The ancient Egyptian world is often characterised by a fascinating and remarkably supple mental universe. Ancient Egyptians melded images in ways that often beggar logic. They linked material elements with a realm inaccessible to humans, as reflected both in their daily conduct and their emphasis on the afterlife that led to their quest for immortality.

Quest for Immortality – The World of Ancient Egypt offers an insight to the ancient Egyptian’s attitude to life and the afterlife, and the preparations they made to ensure their transition from earthly existence to immortality. Discover the Egyptians’ means of equipping the dead – through mummification, provision of sustenance, magic and ritual – and explore the evolution of their burial rites as well as the changing relationship between man and ritual through time.

With 230 artefacts spanning from 4000 BCE to 950 CE, this exhibition endeavours to place tomb objects in their social, religious and artistic context, demonstrating the diversity and adaptability of an art that has prevailed in both time and space.

Thats the end of the football column. Stay tuned.

so sorry for disappointing you. But i guess dota was an outlet for me to vent my frustrations and a form of escapism from the real world. I just feel that I have to be responsible enough on both sides.

So I had to choose the difficult choice of rejecting you. I feel sorry but that's all i can do.
