Graduation day...

My dear padawans... on this day you 'graduate' but the journey has not ended.. you have to study hard and smart for your 'O' levels... and even after that... your journey will not end...

I wanted to share this with you all.. but thought it'll 'over run' as "You are the man' often says..
Hence, I shall put in writing so that it becomes more permanent...
It may be a bit 'chim' for some but I hope you will understand it at some point in your life...
and may your very flesh be a great poem..

Enjoy this by the great poet, Walt Whitman...

This is what you shall do:
Love the earth and sun and the animals,
despise riches, give alms to every one that asks,
stand up for the stupid and crazy,
devote your income and labor to others,
hate tyrants, argue not concerning God,
have patience and indulgence toward people,
take off your hat to nothing known or unknown
or to any man or number of men,
go freely with powerful uneducated persons
and with the young and with the mothers of families,
read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life,
re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book,
dismiss whatever insults your own soul,
and your very flesh shall be a great poem...

from the Preface to Leaves of Grass

by Walt Whitman

7) Hmmm.. what to order... ?? After Graduation Day, we headed to a cafe at Bishan Park to 'celebrate'. The haze was bad, the park was packed, the food took forever.. but the company was good...

8) Where's my food??

9) Is this an irony?? Bird acting cool while drinking hot tom yum soup...

10) At the end of the day, will this batch of 2006 be tough enough to brave what is to come? Will they be able to continue this friendship that they have forged? Is it gonna be too tough for them??? ..... What will their response be?

Piece of cake.... :P

God Bless...
