Back In More Ways Than One
I'm gravely ill. I have have contracted a deadly disease. I'm about to die soon, and before I do, I hope that I will be able to leave behind this blog as my legacy. One more thing, as my last wish, I hope to be able to see more people tagging my board. At least I'd have a few moments of joy.
RIIIIIIIIIGHT!
I just thought I'd start on a heavier note this time. =)
In any case, as the title implies, as always, I'M BACK! After...err...err...A few, yes, a few weeks. Or was it months? Oh well. I just figured that since I had nothing to do, might as well post an entry. In other words, I' ve been quite busy the past few..err....days? Weeks? Months?
Amidst all the buzz and hoohahs, one main event that really overshadows the rest is the issue of Jianbin falling seriously ill. It's about as bad as it can get. His lung sorta collasped, and he has difficulty in breathing, and expirences pain every so often. Everyone who's reading this, please pray to God for a speedy recovery for him.
Despite all of this, he came back to school yesterday for a while. Yes, a while. Halfway through Chinese lessons, he started experiencing pain in his lung. I say, it must have been the Chinese! Too much got to him, and he could withstand no more. Poor soul. He had to return home, but he was in too much pain to even move. Eventually, we had no choice but to call for help. We called for a ambulance, but before that, the St.John's Brigade. Goodness. what are they teaching these cadets nowadays? They would have had absolutely no clue on what to do if the teacher were'nt there prompting them. And they took quite a long while before they reached the 4th storey, further more, they had someone else carry the stretcher for them. Goodness.
However, [always a however huh?] behind the scenes, there was much politics going on. Lots of hypocrisy. The masked put on their masks, while the unmasked sat and watched.
Before he fell ill, everyone was like " I dont want to talk to him" ,"I'm not close to him" , better still "who's he?". Nah, the latter was made up, but I can't say the same for the other 2.
So, Jianbin falls ill suddenly, gets admitted suddenly, and miraculously, everyone suddenly cares! How much more hypocritic can people get nowadays? People talked about visiting him and all, but alas, it was all talk and no action. And when he came back today, everyone, save myself and a few others, crowded around him, in hopes that they could make his breathing more difficult by using up all the oxygen surrounding him. Not in its literal sense, but if the hamster is still running on the wheel, then I'd expect that you'd be wise enough to get what I'm saying.
The reason why the few of us didn't seem to go with the flow was simple. We expected that he would to be able to see us for who we actually were, not only me and the 'rest' but all of us, and I certainly hope that he can tell apart the masked and the unmasked.
So here I am, back, posting entires, Jianbin's back and I am back with my cynical and nonsensical comments. And by the way, watch your backs! For many a times, the masked seem unmasked and the unmasked, masked. And sometimes, just sometimes, the unmasked seemed masked, but are unmasked.
