No one speaks chinese in RJC. Everyone communicates in English...somehow after 3 weeks, I begin to feel a distance forming between the college and me. haiz...Not that English is a lousy language or anything, it's just that English at times just sound so formal...so distant... I miss the time in RI when communication with friends was mainly in Chinese(contary to popular belief), though our chinese wasn't that great...but there was tht affection...tht special feeling that bonded us so strongly together. Perhaps this is the "farmerly" feeling they call it in HCJC. Yes, chinese at our level might sound crude...sometimes even obscene...but well...it's better than saying stuff in English that we do not mean. The lack of Chinese(as in the language) in RJ was so bad that even chinese CO members dun understand wat the conductor is talking about...I knoe that this elitist environment is crucial for my future, but is losing myself in the process worth it? Finally, I think I understood why TPH insisted that we learn the language proper and perhaps the reason shan took chinese A? “你是我最好的朋友”and "you are my best friend" just sound so different....

天高地厚
你累了没有 可否伸出双手 想拥抱 怎能握着拳头
我们还有很多梦没作 还有很多明天要走 要让世界听见我们的歌
准备好没有 时间不再回头 想要飞 不必任何理由
不管世界尽头多寂寞 你的身边一定有我 我们说过不管天高地厚
想飞到 那最高最远最洒脱 想拥抱 在最美丽的那一刻
想看见 陪我到最后谁是朋友 你是我最期待的那一个

可以一起闯祸一起沉默一起走 可以一起飞翔一起沦落
不管天高地厚陪着我 陪我一起大声狂吼
想飙到 那最高最远最辽阔 想唱完 那最感动的一首歌
没看见 那天高地厚不肯放手
因为我有我想要的朋友 你是我最想要的朋友
