Secondly, time robs us of our mental faculties. It is an undeniable fact that as time progresses, the control we have over our minds slips ever so slowly that it goes by almost unnoticed. For example, we may sometimes forget where we put our phones or our keys and alarmingly even names and faces. We know that these symptoms are most evident in Alzheimer's, a cruel disease that robs its patients of their minds, but most importantly their memories. To quote an oft-quoted adage, ‘true death only comes when we are forgotten’. So when our cherished friends and family members slowly forget the memories that are worth a thousand lifetimes, the pain is nigh unbearable. Especially so, given that this disease does not even harm the physical health of the patient but ‘merely’ harms the emotional and mental well-being of them and their closest family members and confidantes. Now, most of us will probably at most be forgetful but never to an extent of being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. But even so, the wit and intelligence that were once a roaring bonfire are now a dying ember. One of the great luxuries in life is the ability to learn unbounded knowledge where only the sky is the limit. To regress to a child-minded state after savouring the fruits of our thinking and daydreaming is a fate that should not be bestowed upon our most bitter of rivals. Therefore, another great treasure is our mind squirrelled away by that abstract concept known as time. Furthermore, time robs us of our bodies. It is a great and terrible truth that what we have now shall not continue to be ours in that distant future we try to forget about. This is most evident in the bodies we inhabit that are ever so slowly chipped away at by time. What was once a healthy and hale body full of vitality turns into a sickly and frail one filled with nought but medication for a prolonged period. As we age, our bodies grow weaker, and our immune systems wearier after countless defensive battles against foreign invaders. The freedom that was once had in the past to move about freely is now so cruelly taken away. Instead, we are chained to our houses at best and sterile hospitals at worst. Plans for places to see, and old friends to visit, stay as plans, and no further. But, sometimes fate is worse for others than it might be for us. Ravaged by diseases such as diabetes, limbs are removed to save the greater whole. What in the past was deemed an afterthought now seemed so dear to us. Some are dealt an even worse hand than this. Some can see but cannot speak; some can speak but cannot taste due to time. The luxury of stimulated senses that were a part and parcel of our daily lives is now confined to memory. And so it is another one of our treasures that is our bodies, now stolen by the hidden criminal known as time.
Designed by Kho Wei Ying (6AUUM) Lastly, time robs us of our relationships. Life is nothing without the relationships we cultivate whether they are our friends or our families. So, of course time decides that it is another thing that it wants to take away from us. Friends that we were once thick as thieves with, now grown up chasing dreams and ambitions that override their previous bonds with us. Of course, we do not begrudge them for it as it is their right in truth but it almost always leaves us wistful and feeling as if we are unwholesome. We sometimes meet them and have get-togethers, but never to the same extent as in our youths. But, sometimes even these get-togethers leave us more wistful than ever before, dreaming an impossible dream of having unlimited time to spare for those we hold so dear. The same dream of unlimited time unfortunately also applies to our families most especially our parents. It is a sad fact that we have already spent the majority of our life with our parents during our childhood which is seven days a week 24/7. Even if we make the effort to spend a day out of every week with our parents, we are still losing six days a week of time with them. The dearth of time we have to spend with our cherished friends and families makes it all the more painful when inevitably time reaps its toll upon them. For those of us still living, it sends us into a self-destructive spiral of regret and shame for not spending enough time that we ultimately do not have with them. Consequently, that scoundrel thief known as time has once again decided to rob one of our most precious treasures which are relationships. To sum up, time is the greatest thief in all of history for stealing that which is worth its weight more than gold, such as our youthfulness, our minds, our bodies and our relationships. Yet, this essay does not intend to condone going down the path and mind set of nihilistic doom and gloom. Instead, we should learn to appreciate what we have now and learn to use the utmost of what limited time we do have to maximise our happiness and general well-being. Whether that may be spending time with friends and family or exercising is ultimately our decision alone and no one else's.
Computer games have often been the subject of intense debate since its inception. Some have argued on behalf of computer while others demonise it as the bane of all evil. The debate about computer games hinge on its benefits and its downsides. Though there are downsides to all activities, the pros indisputably outweigh the cons of playing computer games. Thus, the statement of playing computer games is beneficial to everyone is rather contentious. In my humble opinion I am in full agreement with the statement. Playing computer games provides a multitude of benefits to everyone. Among the benefits of playing computer games include improved eye-hand coordination, strategic and problem-solving skills, as well as improved neuroplasticity. Computer Games : a boon or bane The importance of eye-hand coordination is often overlooked by many. It allows a person to better control their movements and react quickly to possible dangers. Computer games help train one’s brain to better connect the visual cortex and motor cortex. The ability to quickly identify and react to prompts in game are key to winning. First person shooters are games that require the most attention from the player to quickly react to enemies and targets. Unlike other genres of games, first person shooters are not passive games and requiring continuous focus from the player. These types of games are best to improve eye-hand coordination. The importance of eye-hand coordination maybe overlooked due to the mundane pace of life. However, without good eye-hand coordination many ills may befall a person. A staple example of the consequences of poor eye-hand coordination are car accidents. Many of the elderly get into car accidents due to slow reaction time and poor attention. These kinds of issues can easily be overcome by a healthy dose of computer games. Hence, It is best recommended for everyone to play computer games as to sharpen one’s eye-hand coordination.

Problem solving skills are often sought trait among the working class and administration. Politicians, leaders, businessmen, blue-collar and white-collar workers require good problem-solving skills. On a day-to-day basis, we face a variety of problems from the smallest to the largest. Playing computer games help train a person’s problem-solving skills. Planning the finances for your company, building something for your school project or getting out of trouble requires excellent problemsolving. Games often have deep and intricate puzzles requiring a person to think outside the box and find creative and ingenious solutions. Some games force players to grapple with a large amount of information to analyse. This improves a person’s ability to absorb, analyse and extract valuable information more easily. Computer games in the genre of puzzle solving are great for those keen to hone one’s problem-solving skills. Games such as Tetris, multi-dimensional chess, and adventure games help condition the brain to be better problem solvers. Whether you are young or old playing puzzle games on the computer gives more depth compared to playing traditional puzzle games. In essence, playing computer games is beneficial to everyone as it can improve their problem-solving skills. Lastly, playing computer games improve neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is the ability for a person’s brain to adapt quickly and smoothly between different actions. Most computer games rely on players ability to quickly switch between tasks and adapt new situations quickly. The ability to multitask and adapt to changing environment is dependent on neuroplasticity. The importance of neuroplasticity cannot be overstated. Improving neuroplasticity requires one to juggle multiple tasks simultaneously. First person shooter train players navigation skills, reflexes, and strategic planning at the same time. An added benefit to playing first person shooters is the ability to rotate space in your head. This seemingly irrelevant skill allows people to have spatial awareness. This unassuming skill is extremely important in our daily life. All these tasks that are being carried out train the brain to be more plastic and adaptable. Neuroplasticity is crucial for the elderly as it can delay or prevent early onset Alzheimer’s disease. By keeping their brains more active it will prevent degeneration of neural tissue. To put it simply, playing computer games improves a person’s neuroplasticity and thus their brain health. In summary, computer games provide a multitude of benefits to those who play them. The benefits such as improved eye-hand coordination, improved problem-solving skills, and promoting neuroplasticity have definitely outweighed its shortcomings if one practises self-discipline. Adults, children and even the elderly stand to gain a lot from playing computer games. Far from being the source of all ills many would like to believe it as a boon to society. However, playing computer games is not all sunshine and rainbows. Everything should be done in moderation as the saying goes ‘Too much of anything is good for nothing’.

The environment, home to all living organisms in this world, faces drastic changes in line with the continuous modernisation of planet Earth, whether from economic, social or political aspects. Transformations bring about advantages and disadvantages, from which detriments stand out in their daunting forms. Currently, the environment is facing consequences imposed by human exploitations carried out in an endless pursuit towards economic development and achievements, such as in the industrial and agricultural sectors. The air breathes irritating pollutants, permeates the environment with excessive heat in a notorious phenomenon known as the greenhouse effect. Water in oceans and rivers flow with putrid and pungent domestic and industrial wastes, putting the lives of aquatic organisms in danger and causing harm to the health of human consumers in the form of diseases. The modern world faces climate change, from unpredictable weather patterns to global warming. Earth is ill and is setting off alarms through the deteriorating environment. Following a series of environmental ramifications, countless efforts are being made to increase public awareness towards the pressing issues faced by the environment. Efforts are seen to be made by the government such as through law enforcement and education, education in which syllabi are adjusted to be environment-oriented, and where values such as eco-friendliness are inculcated in the minds of students. This can be seen, for instance, when students are introduced on a large scale to the 6 R principles of waste management, namely Rethink, Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Repair; Communities can be seen working as units to clean and beautify the environment. In short, the involvement of every individual in the preservation and conservation of the environment is taken into consideration. Though what is most eye-catching in this modern era is the role of social media in raising awareness towards environmental issues, particularly among Generation Z individuals who make up a large fraction of social media users. Knowledge and awareness towards our environment spread like wildfire through intricate infographics, informative videos and written posts. Furthermore, social media applications such as Facebook and Instagram have launched "sharing" and "reposting" mechanisms from which environment-related posts can be widely shared by social media users, whether privately to their friends and relatives or publicly to their followers. The existence of social media, with a wide expanse, has made the environment a viral and endless topic among generations of users, in other words, a constant talk of the globe. In a nutshell, public awareness towards environmental issues is being raised in a considerably successful manner. Environmental Awareness Without A Cause Tan Kerr Xi 6A UM1
However, despite the success in raising awareness such as through social media, countless disappointing situations related to daily individual habits and behaviours are witnessed. Social media users are seen to share posts related to environmental issues, only to turn around as traitors by making or repeating the mistakes that they seem to "strive" to put an end to behind their screens. Individuals are seen to speak out against deforestation and to promote the replanting of trees, done, for instance, by sharing a post which is worth one tree planted, only to waste countless white papers and tissue papers as soon as they did so; Social media users are always spotted advocating their followers about the prevention of environmental pollutions, only to leave the virtual world and to exacerbate environmental pollutions such as by smoking a cigarette in open air and dumping rubbish into the river instead of prepared garbage bins. In other words, awareness is widely raised, while leaving out care and compassion. Instead, negligence is let loose to further undermine the environment. Words are spoken, actions are carried out virtually by individuals, by "sharing" or "reposting", while neglecting concrete practices in reality. Dedication towards environmental causes, as exhibited through social media platforms, is reduced to mere veneers concealing ignorance and ruthlessness towards the aching environment. False diligence in the form of words acts as a replacement for actual actions that should be carried out to protect the environment. In short, words simply speak louder than actions. To make matters worse, the topic "environment" is constantly used as a bait by countless individuals to garner fame and attention, craved publicity, without a slight sincerity behind their "impactful" words. Meanwhile, others jump on the bandwagon, in a ride to act as citizens who show "deep knowledge and concern" towards the environment through social media platforms, while in reality they are blind, out of ignorance, towards the extent by which the environment faces damage. With that, environmental approaches are no longer a pursuit towards what is right. Instead, they are defined as a form of trend to be kept up to date with. Consequently, environment-related actions are carried out with a blind awareness, an awareness gained through prolonged exposure towards ongoing issues faced by the environment, yet blinded by an oblivion towards the real intention behind these actions, that is, to protect and save the environment; an awareness devoid of care and compassion towards the environment, thereby stripped off of its clarity.
The environment, home to each and every one of us, acts as our vital source of life. It is our responsibility to protect the environment which sustains us as soon as we set foot upon Earth. It is a responsibility to be carried out by us humans, not just out of obligation, or out of blind compliance towards the latest trends, but with care and compassion towards the environment which shelters us. The environment, our home, should not be taken as a token of exploitation. Instead, it should be accepted as a gift of appreciation, loved and cared for unconditionally. Every individual plays an important role in the preservation and conservation of the environment. In fact, all we need is a little faith, sincerity, and most importantly, a kind heart. The welfare of the environment is ensured by the goodness in people. After all, instead of, for instance, giving up all hope in a pursuit of a new habitat, why not save Earth, our home, while it is still not too late? Designed by Joann Mok Jin Yuan (6A UUM)

期待、不安、兴奋、彷徨与孤单，这不就是我们的十多岁吗？ 转眼间，我们都抵达了十多岁的终点，即将挥别懵懂青涩的自己，那徘徊在成熟和稚嫩 之间的自己。 不舍和感慨，惆怅和紧张，不禁在心中蔓延开来。 人生有多少个十多岁啊。 其中一个成人最怀念人生中的阶段，儿时最期待的一个阶段，就这样，在我们的指缝 间溜走了，即将成为我们只能缅怀的一段时光。 阳光和煦，微风徐徐，午后的暖风掀起了课室里的窗帘，课室里一阵喧闹，同学们嘻嘻 哈哈地玩耍打闹。虽说是中学生了，但是脾性却像极童心未泯的小学生，在嘈杂声里能见 到埋头苦读的身影也就寥寥无几。求学时期的年轻旺盛，让学生们难以按捺自己亢奋的心 情，安分地读书。 “考试要到了，你准备了吗？” “就一个普通的考试，需要那么认真吗？” 十多岁的我们，年少轻狂、偏执倔强，不甘被世俗标签，势必逃脱道德的局限，心中的狂 妄固执，驱使我们冲破墨守陈规的框架。鲁莽和冲动，在我们心里是有个性、满腔热血的 表现，但在大人们眼中，就是叛逆。 “你这臭脾气从哪儿学回来的？是不是混了那些猪朋狗友！” “我的朋友可比你好很多！哪儿像你这么不讲道理的啊！” 甩门的那一刻，宣示了胜利，在一番歇斯底里后，把对方的口堵住的成就。渗透骨子 里的反叛，透过语气和声量反映出来了。难道你没听说过吗？那些电视剧电影里都是这么 说的，如果不在这时候把所有东西试试，你肯定会后悔的，别以后留下遗憾啊。 所以赶快啊，赶快紧紧地抓着自由的尾巴，任性一把，往青春的方向奔去。 青涩岁月 里，是不是要这样才不会留下遗憾啊？ 星期三的午后，头顶上的太阳嚣张耀眼，无论是奔跑在操场上的抑或是在周会场地练习 操步的同学，每每转身拍球抑或是奋力蹬脚的那一刻，无畏天气的炎热，刺眼的太阳，剩 下的就只是充满干劲的体魄在阳光下都挥洒着汗水，韶光里留下的仅仅是青春的那股冲 劲、热情。 Ong Zhi Yen 王智欣 (6AUKM) 人生有多少个十多岁
那段午后的时光，无论是走廊、课室、周会场地甚至是食堂都充满了银铃般的欢笑声。 那是一个就算身体疲惫，但是依然觉得快乐的下午。 我们的十多岁，似乎离不开阳光、笑和汗。 我们的十多岁赐予我们多少的泪水与汗水啊。 依稀记得下雨后的那片草场，空中弥漫着夹杂了青草与泥土的味道，清新且湿 润。 依稀记得运动会上，为自己的队伍互相打气大喊的口号、欢呼和叫嚣，在空中重叠 交会。 依稀记得每次周会前，与同伴们仰望上空，看看那被晨曦渲染的天空，享受上课 前短暂的惬意。 依稀记得每当上课途中肚子饿的时候和同学悄悄倒数下课的时间。 欢笑、忐忑、悲伤、懵懂与天真，填满了我们的十多岁。 我们的十多岁，附带着我们的感受，把回忆一并交给我们了。 时光荏苒，光阴似箭，一眨眼，我们的十多岁都快过去了。倘若给我一次时光倒 流的机会，此时此刻，站在十多岁终点的我，一定会告诉那青涩懵懂的自己，好好 珍惜现在你拥有的时光。 即使不是自己原本满怀期待，会像小说一样有趣精彩的，甚至是一个离不开功课 和考试，平凡的岁月，但也值得我们珍惜。 没有其他原因，纯粹是因为时光很短暂。 况且，人生也没有多少个十多岁啊。 Little did we know that we were to bid farewell to the youthful years of the past as we are approaching full adulthood presently. Memories of the past are fading : the beautiful blue sky the green, green grass of our familiar surrounding , the morning fresh dew and lots of beautiful scenes . If time could stand still at a particular point in the past, I would be very appreciative of it. Nevertheless, reminiscing the past often reminds me of how time flies in the wink of an eye. Every single moment of our adolescence will soon be carved into memories. Moments of joy, despair, rebellion, laughter and tears, will soon be shaped into memories, just memories.

⼈ 李紫婷 Rita Lee Ziting 6R UPM ⼈为什么是⼈，⼈的终点为何⼀定是死亡， 死亡是否⼀定是⼈类的终点？ 是什么决定了⼈类的寿命？ 根据科学家多年的 研究， 端粒的⻓度决定了⼈类的寿命。端粒保 持染⾊体的完整性和控制细胞分裂周期。⼀旦 端粒被耗尽，⼈的⼀⽣也迎来了圆满句号。相 反的，如果端粒能停⽌消亡，⼈类就能达到⾁ 体上的永⽣。 但⺠间流传着⼀种假说--⼈本是外星⽣物，统 称外星⼈。 ⼈本是⼀种意识性的存在，可在宇宙中⾃由 地瞬移。⼈的本性是残暴的，我们以侵略和霸 占其他星球为荣耀的象征。由于⼈类⽆法收敛 本性的恶习，宇宙的和谐和安宁受到了威胁。 因此，⼈类被宇宙之⺟ （⼀种⾼等⽣物来⾃上 等维度的⽂明）灭族。剩余的善类被流放到宇 宙⼀⻆的太阳系⾥。由于⼈是意识性存在，
⾼等⽂明为我们制作了⾁体，再把我们的意识 封锁在其中。这就是神话⾥的⼥娲造⼈。为了 确保万⽆⼀失，⾼等⽂明把⼈类定在地⼼引⼒ 强⼤的地球内，在刑罚结束前⽆法踏⼊宇宙半 步。即使进⼊了宇宙，也⽆法瞬移到另⼀个维 度。 为了削弱⼈的怨⽓，他们在⾁体⾥安置了 脑。我们原有的记忆，也称为‘前世记忆’ 会被 ⼤脑封印。我们只会记得⾁体存活时的记忆， 忘了过去，重新做⼈。 ⾝为失忆⾁体寄主的我们唯⼀的执念就是把 这⾁体养好。失意的我们早已忘了我们是被困 在⾁体⾥的意识，我们把这⾁体当成了家，当 成了命，当成了希望。如今我们认为只有⾁体 不死，我们才会有明天，才会有未来。 可往往通往极乐世界的唯⼀道路是战胜恐惧-- 死亡。只有死亡，我们的⾁体才会腐化，意识 才会得到解脱。死亡才是 （⼈）⾃由的开始。 浴⽕重⽣，是凡⼈⽆法战胜的恐惧。 ⼈贪⽣怕死只因为为未知的死后世界感到⽆ 助和害怕。我们不知后续是安还是恐。因吸多
了氧⽓，氧成瘾，我们渐渐忘了意识之⾝的⾃由; 因眼前的利益，我们忘了事后该付出的代价。 ⼈性终究还是⼈性，⽆论我们以什么形态活着，我们终究还是⼈。 没了前世记忆的我们毫⽆⽬的地游荡，寻找着 ⽬标。我们不知⾃⼰为何⽽⽣，为谁⽽活。若没⽬标，就不知存在地球的意义和使命。因此我们每个⼈都努⼒奋⽃着，让⾃⼰有活下去的理由，把空⽩的开始写满了故事，让⾃⼰的⼀⽣有始有终，有痕迹。也许时间会让世⼈渐渐忘了我们所⾛过的过去，但⾄少刑期间我们没浪费光阴。 死亡是不存在的，死亡是结束过去，是另⼀个 旅程的开始。死亡允许我们重获⾃由，探索新的世界。死亡让我们以另⼀种形态活着，体验着不⼀样的⼈⽣。⽆论⼈是以⾁体还是意识性的⽅式存在，我们依然是游荡在这宇宙中的遗体罢了。因此，⾃传是酸甜苦辣，喜怒哀乐取决于我们如何主演⾃⼰的⾃传，由不得他⼈左右。珍惜当 下，做好⾃⼰的本分才能建⽴更美好的未来。结局好坏并⾮宿命，⽽是因果轮回 。
The paragraph above is about appreciating our life. It points out the fact that every living thing on earth, including humans is going to die one day. Thus, we have to do something meaningful in our lives and contribute something to society. People might forget our existence on earth as time passes, but we should do our best to make our life successful because we know who we are.

回⾸往事，我们就会发现当中⼀半是笑声，⼀半是哭声。原因⽆他，纯 粹是因为⼈⽣是由欢声和泪影相映⽽成的。回⾸往事，有些⼈会觉得⼈ ⽣过得很充实；有些⼈却觉得⾃⼰蹉跎岁⽉，蓦然回⾸才惊觉错过了那 么多东西。我的⼈⽣可算得上是属于后者。但是我明⽩⼀个道理“往者 不可谏，来者犹可追”，⼈⽣不能⼀昧地在怀缅过去，这样的⼈⽣是⽆ 趣的。⼈⽣匆匆数⼗年，我们应该把握当下，珍惜⾝边⼈，留⼼⾝边的 美好⻛景，这样才能⼤声地说⼀⽣⽆悔。回⾸往事我们不难发现在幻变 的岁⽉⾥，时间原是⼈间的神偷。 回⾸往事，我们就会赫然发现时间偷⾛了我们的友情。友谊没有脚，因 此它不会跑，但是时间的巨轮却从不停歇。曾经写在同学录的友谊万 岁，曾经在脸书加为好友的好友，如今还剩多少个您还在联络呢？有些 时候，友谊不复存在并不是因为吵架翻脸、不是因为喜欢上同⼀个⼈更 不是因为⾦钱上的纠纷。有的时候友谊⾊彩的褪去只是因为我们的思 想、三观以及圈⼦已经不同了，这时我们才会发现原来我们根本不适合 当朋友，之前只是环境使然。⼈越⼤，朋友只会越来越少，因为真正的 友谊犹如真⾦⼀般不怕红炉⽕，经得起岁⽉的洗礼，经得起时间这位神 偷的考验。时间虽然偷⾛了友谊但是却为我们留下了知⼰。回⾸半⽣， ⻘衫⼈⽼，唯有知⼰才会永远陪伴我们左右，所以说⼈⽣得⼀知⼰，夫 复何求。时间的巨轮只会不断地前进，它的前进意味着我们的年岁正悄 悄地增加，它也作为⼀个很好的⻅证，⻅证真正的友谊。 再者，时间也偷⾛了我们的亲情。亲情可贵，那也是为什么我们华⼈那 么注重亲情的缘故。在这世上，所有的关系都有可能变质，唯有亲情不 变。所以我们需要珍惜我们的家⼈因为我们能成为⼀家⼈是需要积累⼏ 百世甚⾄⼏千世的福分。当今许多年轻⼈总是为学业、⼯作打拼，却忘 了家中还有等他们回家的⻓辈。⼈们以为给了家⽤就是⼀种孝顺的表 现，其实⻓辈们更希望晚辈能多陪伴⾃⼰。所谓“树欲静⽽⻛不⽌，⼦ 欲养⽽亲不待”，时间虽然给予我们为学业、为事业打拼的机会，却也 夺去了⼈们孝顺的机会。等到⼦⼥们事业学业有成之时，⻓辈们可能已 经往⽣净⼟了，有时间不妨多陪伴家中的⻓辈。当今科技发达，如果晚 辈们有⼼的话，不妨为家中的⻓辈购买⼀部⼿机，并且耐⼼地教导他们 如何使⽤就好像当初他们不厌其烦地叫我们⾛路⼀样。这样⼀来，⽆论 ⾝在何地，我们都能和家中的⻓辈视讯。皇天不负有⼼⼈，时间不负孝 顺⼉，只要我们⽤⼼地对待亲情，我们回⾸往事时才不会悔恨曾经⽆法 侍亲⾄孝。 再回⾸ HENG JING HUNG 王靖竤 6A UM1
此外，回⾸往事将使我们发现再美丽的外表也敌不过时间这位超 能神偷的考验。外表只是⼀个⽪囊，即使⼀个⼈多么厉害保养， 它终将抵不住岁⽉的侵蚀。所以，我们不应该太在意外表，⽽应 在乎内在修养与知识。⾹港⼩姐的⼝号是美貌与智慧并重，这显 ⽰了主办⽅的前瞻思维。⽆论⼀个⼈曾经多么漂亮多么英俊，⽼ 了还不是⼀个样，唯有智慧陪伴我们终⾝。外表的⽼去就似蝴蝶 蜕变⼀般，蝴蝶之所以能从蛹变成蝶是因为它经过了历练，它有 了充⾜的经验。⼈也如是，拥有丰富经验的⼈才配得上拥有韶华 逝去的外表。我们不应该嫌弃年⽼时外貌的不堪，因为正是这些 不堪⻅证了我们⾛在坎坷⼈⽣路的⼀步⼀脚印。 回⾸往事，我们也会发现时间偷⾛了我们的爱情。年少时，情侣 总喜欢甜⾔蜜语，⼭盟海誓。不过当热情褪去，⼜有多少⼈能平 凡地过⼀⽣？于我⽽⾔，⼈⽣不需要轰轰烈烈地爱⼀遍，细⽔⻓ 流的爱情才能做到执⼦之⼿，与⼦偕⽼。真正的爱情需要忍耐、 信任与包容，⽽不是⼀味追求物质上的享受。回⾸往事，我们会 发现⼀⽣中遇过很多对热恋情侣，但是他们最终都未能开花结 果，反⽽在分⼿之后连朋友都做不成。他们抵不过岁⽉的洗礼， 时间的考验，曾经的誓⾔依然徘徊⽿边，但是⼈⾯不知何处去， 桃花依旧笑春⻛。⽣命来回穿梭于时间的⻆落，时间也因此⻅证 了真爱的诞⽣与逝去，若是真爱⼀定经得起岁⽉的考验。虽然有 时我们因半⽣追寻真爱不果⽽⽓馁，但是只要谨记“精诚所⾄，⾦ ⽯为开”，只要我们依然相信、憧憬与盼望，总有⼀天⽉⽼也会为 所有相信爱情的⼈牵红线。 时间贵为神偷⾃然也不会忘了⼈们⼀⽣中最宝贵的⼀样东西——— 健康。我们总是仗着⾃⼰年轻能消耗健康的资本，熬夜玩游戏， 熬夜复习。努⼒肯定会有回报，但是⾝体却逐渐吃不消。于我⽽ ⾔，健康是财富，⼀个⼈纵使有万贯家财，没了健康，便什么都 没了。⼈们总在夜阑⼈静，⽉⿊⻛⾼之时回⾸往事，悔恨当初为 何不注重健康，到了晚年把赚来的钱都拿来看医⽣，所谓“年轻不 养⽣，⽼来养医⽣”。 纵观⽽⾔，回⾸往事可以给予我们反思⼈⽣的空间，反思⼈⽣的 不⾜，让我们学会做⼀个更好的⼈，愿⼤家共勉之。 Looking back on the past, we will find that the most important things in our life including love, health, family, friendship and appearance have undergone subtle changes over time. Only at the end of life do we realize that time is the thief of life. DESIGNED BY KHO WEI YING (6AUUM)
