開學日
September 1, 2006今天，是開學的第一天。
這是一個很睏的下午，我一個人躲在音樂室彈琴。
我小聲地跟著唱，希望沒有人聽見：
“For this school O Lord we pray,
guide us forward everyday;
Saint Margaret our Patron Saint,
keeping all our faithful hearts.
We are brothers & sisters all,
learn to live in harmony;
we are children of our god,
ever open to joy and love.
Hopes and dreams that we have got,
letting in God’s heav’nly light;
striving hard to achieve our goals,
with Holy Mary pray for us;
bless the students here within,
let them learn to love our God;
with the faith of Saint Margaret,
we can see the scared hearts;
bless the students here within,
let them learn to love our God.”
啍著這首現職學校的校歌詩歌，卻怎樣也想不起從前就讀的中學校歌的旋律。還記得當時每朝早會都會小聲地跟著唱，也怕被人聽見自己投入認真的演繹。
十年了，我記得的就只有這些：
“…strive your best…
……in TVTS…”
連校名都改了，由工業學校變成官立中學；校牆由米白色變成淺藍色，校歌也至少不再唱TVTS了。始終，也過了十個寒暑了。
你說十年過得慢，老師笑你別傻，轉眼你已成為人家的老師了；
你說十年過得快嗎？課室裡的學生卻悶了一個世紀。
你說十年過得慢，公公婆婆笑你別傻；
你說十年過得快嗎？課室裡的學生卻悶了一個世紀。
