| Today, I started my new work as a executive officer, Department of Home Affairs. The feeling was so strange in the way that just two weeks before, I was still a reporter, so-called the Fourth-Estate in a society, to supervise the government. Nowadays, I was sucked into the paper works and governmental procedures---the reasons that drove me crazy when I was a reporter, giving day to night call to those relaxing governmental officials for responses on issues, who responded mechanically that they were still preparing the answers, because of the paper works and procedures. Not until the last minute, or even a week after my reporting has been published, that their responses came with several words, most of the time told nothing at all. But still there is something I could learn. My main responsibilities are to organize different governmental departments to remove illegally parked bicycles and to build lamps in Yuen Long area. Never look down on that, as I did before. It involved numerous paper works and procedures cornering different laws, restrictions and communications with the citizens living nearby. It is no easy to build something by the government on the ground, even a lamp, but from another angle the procedures protect our living places. I know I will understand more on how the society operates. This is coherent to what I always believe, to know the world better, allows me to love the world more. In my room, there are three people, having the same titles with me, having similar age-numbers with me. The appalling thing is, one of them is my primary-schoolmate, and another one is my schoolmate in secondary school!! Thanks God, at least, at the time when I am trying some other paths in my life, it is not a boring one. (i believe that writing in English will stop me from producing burdensome writing.....obviously, without success. the verbose beast inside my body will never rest, yeahyeahyeahFD%*$%*$%$ok, ^$%GO$to^^&^Sleep%$%Now) |
