It's been 4 years? Since you've left us. Please forgive me for not remembering for how long you've left us, because it hurts my soul when I count the days and years you've been away from us.
How've you been doing over there? Where you are... I looked up the blue sky and have always wonder whether you're up there somewhere.
How I miss you so. Everytime I gaze upon the corner of my room where you used to sleep, which is now replaced by a cupboard. I see you sitting over there, looking at me. Sometimes, I wake up at night, just to see whether I can catch a glimpse of your ghostly figure.
I grew up because of your love and care. I get well fast from sick because of you. Because of you, I have never been so human in my life.
My heart just teared, when you left us. Without saying goodbye, you left... you left.... you left..
You left too fast. You've promised you'll see me graduate. Now I had graduated, and doing masters now. But, I couldn't share my joy with you anymore but hope you'll know... somehow...
Time passess so fast, now I'm already 23, and you've gone.
How I miss you so.
Popo
I love you... I love you...

Toasted Brain
My brain is toasted. Like a French Toast.
Today was an extraodinary day, primarily because of my tight schedule which starts from 12pm marathoning all the way to 9pm. Of course I do get breaks in between, but it's like half and hour break between 1:30pm to 2:00pm and another from 5pm to 6pm. Not mentioning I'm having early morning class tomorrow which starts from 10am to 1pm.
Secondly, today's class was productive. In the sense of, my coursemates actually participated proactively in class discussion and debate, which of course I did too. Here's the interesting part.
We had a guest lecturer which gave a topic on China-Taiwan relations in my Contemporary Asia class today. My first reaction when he was going to touch on that topic was *Hohoho, let's see how the China students react you!*. Inevitably, it happened. Let me explaind why.
The guest lecturer commented on Taiwan had a different culture and history which is distinct from what the Chinese have. Of course, they do share similiar culture, food, celebrates same festival la dee da. But in terms of national culture, from a historically it does makes some sense. He *the guest lecturer* actually pointed out the fact that at the point when the communist party gain power, Chairman Mao actually noted in a speech which he gave, indirectly regarded Taiwan as another sovereign state. Of course this is where the Chinese students went wild and berserk. They contested strongly simply because this is not what they've been taught of since young. Well my point of view is, as a Master student, it is not a matter of being patriotic and nationalistic and to defend against crazy foreigners making unreasonable claims about their country. Of course, I would have felt the same way too but I would have taken a different approach.
Questioning is the key to finding the truth. If you do not agree to certain things while at the same time having somebody prominent who has rich experiences in his field of research started saying something different, search for the truth! I appreciate the fact they contested, but in a poor manner I would say.
After that, I had another heated debate session in my "International Institution and Organizations" class. We took on the question where it says " It is better to have weak UN (United Nations) than no UN". Another controversial issue that sparked flammmmmmiiinnggggg debate. I'm gonna write about this when I gather more info.
So, that's it for now ;) .

My virgin post
I've decided to move from my friendster blog (http://moonlightcorner.blogs.friendster.com/_moon_light_corner_/) to blogspot.
Simply because I find blogspot's feature are much more stable and user-friendly. So, welcome to my world, your world.
