Sidelight on Matriculation Ceremony |
The first student set foot in the board room, followed by another nine black gowns. Startled by the sublimity of the event, they looked about the setting in round-eyed wonder to figure out where to place their focus. Haven't I previewed the whole process at the briefing next room? Why am I still feeling all at sea? I see three rows of chairs, but which should I sit in?

Dear S.H. - Shing Mun River in the Oaring Sound and Light Shadow |
(Chinese version only)
恍然間,北京已是初秋時節。燕園裡人頭攢動,攘攘熙熙,一派喜迎四面八方負笈學子的熱鬧景象。前幾日,在36樓前遇見了初到園子的Jeremy,不由得想起那些在善衡面朝大海的日子。屈指算來,作別善衡也已四月有餘。秋風一起,欲作家書意萬重。謹寫下幾許文字,遙寄一分祝福,一分念想。
