today was the last day in Saint Andrew's for a school day. ever.
the fact sinked into me during the Farewell Assembly.
could feel the tears welling up[i think during Ms. Chai's speech] but i know once i pop i can't stop, so i sucked the tears back in.
no more Ms Goh hunting.
no more crappy western food.
no more hymn singing.
no more morning devotion.
for 44 people, life has moved on and left them trying to catch up.
But for all that we no longer have, there is still the peace of the Lord.

I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.
---Winston Churchill
When My Mind is Still - Paul Beattie
When my mind is still and alone with the beating of my heart,
I remember things too easily forgotten:
The purity of early love,
The maturity of unselfish love that asks --
desires -- nothing but another's good,
The idealism that has persisted through all the tempest of life.
When my mind is still and alone with the beating of my heart,
I can find a quiet assurance, an inner peace, in the core of my being.
It can face the doubt, the loneliness, the anxiety,
Can accept these harsh realities and can even grow
Because of these challenges to my essential being.
When my mind is still and alone with the beating of my heart,
I can sense my basic humanity,
And then I know that all men and women are my brothers and sisters.
Nothing but my own fear and distrust can separate me from the love of friends.
If I can trust others, accept them, enjoy them,
Then my life shall surely be richer and more full.
If I can accept others, this will help them to be more truly themselves,
And they will be more able to accept me.
When my mind is still and alone with the beating of my heart,
I know how much life has given me:
The history of the race, friends and family,
The opportunity to work, the chance to build myself.
Then wells within me the urge to live more abundantly,
With greater trust and joy,
With more profound seriousness and earnest service,
And yet more calmly at the heart of life.
