Indifference

Elie Wiesel:

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference.
The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference.
And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.

(Oct. 1986)

 

To learn to think like what the quote said must be a painful process.

However, I believe out of the pain, it is a happy life in return.

 

"Anyone who has not rowed in a really close boatrace cannot comprehend the level of pain." -- Dan Topolski from TRUE BLUE, The Oxford Boat Race Mutiny

 

And my rowing crew sure can after today’s race. We have won by only an inch or two. At the end they must have pulled it out of nothing. It is determination which bought us to victory and make us show sportsmanship. I reckon, sportsmanship is mainly about the determination of one to win in a competition and taking up all the responsibilities needed, not blaming anything.

If you aren’t part of the solution, you are part of the problem.

On the title is a quote quoted by my vice-principal on the news letter this week.

I wanted to tell that to a new friend I have just made, quite badly, in quite a bad way…

I won't say it though…

 

Anyway…

 

In these days, I am feeling that my unatoned guilt is creeping out, crawling on my back, holding me back.( I am probably exaggerating it here…)

I want to say sorry to everyone who receives this through email. I am sorry for not contacting, for not being able to visit Hong Kong often, for not having the courage to get a phone card and pick up the phone.

So, here I am writing this and now realize that I have got to move back on my work…

Catch you later…

Workaholic, am I?

I am apparently being in too many things at the moment. I am already feeling exhasuted.

Yesterday, I went to the ICCES Swimming Carnival(schools around Victoria compete) providing that I have came 2nd in the GSSSA Swimming Carnival for Backstroke. It was surprising that I can still win some races in Australia by losing a couple kgs and getting myself a bit fitter. However, I regrate choosing to spend a day in Melbourne just for swimming in 2 events. I find it really exhausting catching up the work and having a SRC meeting on the first day back.

The concequence of the decision, of which I am dealing with now, was to rush all my Japanese work of the week and an English essay in one night... Believe me, this is not what you want to do when you have an Physics SAC on the next day.

I am in need of someone for me to complain about everything and be childish and lost in front of them as I am really lost at the moment. I am living in day dreams and awake suddenly and realise that I getting late for something and rush for that. I am just dreaming, I don't feel like living at all...
