third day of school

a morbid state of obligation fulfillment

is the grass greener on the other side?

first day.
it was walking into friends. some looks. some welcome. some chat.
i got back on track. amazing.

then i sensed -
danger.
senses working over time
one two three four five
3 was not a large number
but big enough to make a day mundane enough

an apology.
heartfelt sincere awareness of a mistake.
put myself in others' shoes
that's just a little reminder for myself
and i did my part

day 2.
typical morning blues.
school was dumb.

luckily there's more to life -
an afternoon gathering with friends
a night swim
energy dissipated
a small dose of endorphins was all I need
and it worked
finally a peaceful night


third day.
some normal lecture at main campus
the console of some familiarity
the illusion of everything being nice and in place

but what's real?

and it's only wednesday.

saw a minibus after another - packed with men in tracksuits
oh those gold medal heroes
China's sweet hearts
people waving the bright red HK flag running up the hill in CUHK
what a sight

a great follow up to last night's 'spectacular'
i really respect them as athletes because they obviously gave their all to their country
but all in a sudden
they fell in a wrong category:
crowd entertaining clowns

singing off key on stage

i really wish they could just do their part and save us some torture

"their Chinese courage
their Chinese sportsmanship
their Chinese perseverance"

the MCs just can't do without the word 'Chinese'
and they refer every single quality they exhibit as a Chinese quality
well, I see courage as courage but nothing as courage with a nationality label.

and i've never seen such thing as 'British courage' or perhaps 'Tahitian courage'

maybe 'American' is a word mentioned frequent enough but i've never heard something close to 'American courage' either

i respect the athletes.
it's just the pretentious show i detest.

echo. echo. echo.
echo all the way to Beijing.
