No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted, in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise, without the prior permission of the copyright owner. First published Dec 2009 by PUI CHING MIDDLE SCHOOL Hong Kong. ISBN: 978-988-99247-7-5 Printed in Hong Kong by Chung Tai Printing & Hot Blocking Co. Dedication The collection is dedicated to God, the founders of the school, and the inspiring principals and teachers of Pui Ching, who seek to make the school the best cradle for nurturing talents and leaders of generations in the past now and the time to come. Foreword Dr. Yip Chee Tim It is indeed my pleasure to read all these wonderful pieces of literary works by our students. The articles, in one way or another, display the talent of the students of Pui Ching. They can write extremely well. I am deeply touched by their beautiful style of writing. Their skills in writing bring forth special effects to impress those who enjoy reading. I am much impressed. Good works speak for themselves. Yip Chee Tim Principal 20 November 2009 Words from the Editors Subsequent to the previous revised publication of Oasis , there comes the heartwarming applause from various sides. With the precious experience and generous comments, we are now very honored to present to the readers yet another issue of this continual series, with a compilation of our students’ creative expression of their perception towards life. Oasis is a collection of essays, which are primarily the creative work of our students who, through constant practice of reading and writing as well as shrewd observations of their immediate world, pour out their hearts in the form of short stories, novella, letters, diaries and articles. We understand that such precious perception and spontaneity towards life should never be allowed to be laid waste and it is our very aspiration to cultivate creativity in young leaders even at their early age. Sharing of insights, nourishing of the writing culture and appreciating of literary writing can inspire introspection and unleash the beauty of human minds, thus rekindling our passion for living. Linguistically speaking, it is indeed also our intention to help our students to master the language to express themselves more than adequately. We are so blessed that teachers and students are so supportive in conceiving as well as giving birth to this publication, despite all the sweat and blood through the travails. In taking greater pains to bring forth this issue into existence, we very much hope that when you are reading through the pages, savouring a line or two, may you envisage the oasis of freshness on the parched land of modern hectic life.
