First Presidential Debate

Romney's eloquence surprised me. I've never watched any of his debates before.
He is really good at story telling, and orderly presenting his argument in the most appropriate tone of voice and pacing.
I love his enthusiastic smiles and effe

ctive hand gestures; they made him appear sincere and human.

Obama, in comparison, seemed more like talking to himself rather than to his citizens. Dull tone, too much "err", too much frowning, too many pauses (short sentences).

Speaking of impression only, Romney was giving new hopes while Obama was defending what he's been doing for the past four years.

I feel a little sad from watching it... not because who's performing better than the other, but because I lost my right to vote.

本能

本能促使我避開所有有關撞船的報導和消息, 使自己撇開傷感和憤怒...
這是我回流香港多年, 經歷多次天災人禍後反射性學會的自我保護機制.
今晚得悉是次海難令聖士提反小學失去一位小學弟, 自我保護機制立即崩壞, 難過不已. 

時光倒流

或許，我不應再提起此事。
每翻看選舉論壇的影片，恍惚時光倒流，回到8月，這場噩夢發生之前。
那時，香港島的民調差不多每天都處於安全區內。
我們還放肆地討論來屆兩位新立法會議員的工作分配。
9月10日凌晨趕往點票中心的車程裡，眼簾沒法藏起一行又一行眼淚，完全淹蓋了我對新界東勝利的喜悅。
眼踵了，妝也溶化地到達會場，看到幾位香港島候選人，沒說什麼，也不敢說什麼，因我不想在會場抱著他們跪地痛哭。唯有每幾秒鐘流下一滴眼淚，讓人家誤以為是對自己選區流下的感觸眼淚。
對此，我還是千萬個不甘心。
是哪裡做得不夠好？是哪裡出錯了。為什麼和原先估計的落差這麼大。
我還未能放下。
