All his strength

all his might

 with aim to move

In this season of the Chinese New Year again 

how many remember the forgotten?

It was my friend's idea that a few of us

go to an old folk's home

just a day before the eve of CNY

It has been three weeks on the field

and on which some green grass turned yellow

The days of training

times of competition

that blazing sun

those moments

This lifestyle has come to a pause

Happy Lunar New Year!

Absent Moon

In the past, in the sky lived a moon

I appreciated every night

When I was down, and when I was weary

the moon was there to shine

In times I eager that time might fly

I, there to observe the moon

There was a time I looked to the sky

every single night fascinated by that moon

In this time, in the sky still lives a moon

however the blanket tonight seemed dull

gathering of stars became shrunken

and I in my heart, struggled to not cry over

the Absent Moon

Where is it, now that I need company?

How I admired its shape, appreciated its beauty

now it is absent when it should be crescent

Have you seen people march?

Have you tried marching?

In marching,

no matter how good you are

how consistent your steps are

how well you can keep your tempo

You are in a team

Every member in a team is good in different ways

but in a team, individuality can cause disaster

Things are different in a team
Sometimes members need to be same in a team

Some boys are different

Some boys have sisters, others don't. Those who have might not appreciate their sisters while those who would appreciate might not have sisters. From what I can see, many boys who have sisters are different from boys who do not.

Younger sisters can show whether a boy is a responsible caretaker or a jerk. You can sometimes tell if a guy is a gentleman by the way he treats his mother and sister(s) because if a person who is unable to treat females in his own family well can never treat any other female well genuinely. Younger sisters.... You can love them so much you would even die for them if need be; you can find them so irritating you wish you never had any sisters.
Younger sisters can sometimes be so helpful(useful, HAHA!) when they help you do stuff; they can also be such pests when they ask for help from you in terms of service or finance.

I have a younger sister who is very very different from me in personality. She is the studious one, the "smarter" one in the family but I do not mind. Haha..
We seldom interact with each other deeply but I know and I am sure that I love her enough to lay down my life. Or maybe this has got to do with my value towards my own life?

Anyway, I have a younger sister whom I care about but I wish to have an older one.

Boys who have older sisters are so blessed, but many of them are so ignorant to this blessing. Why can't I have an older sister?

They can help you out with schoolwork, they can be more worried about your exams than you yourself are. They cannot sleep the night before the release of your exam results. You can find comfort and confide in them, you can seek advice and help. You can have assurance that they will do their very best to love you.

Some boys are just different.
