结婚的理由

2012-01-13T20:52:00.003+08:00

从前，不明白为什么人人都要谈恋爱、结婚、生孩子。
有人说，这是天性，从夏娃和阿当开始人类就是如此代代繁衍。
也有人说，为了个伴，老来有人照顾，晚年不凄凉。

这些都不能让我动容、说服不了我。
要繁衍生孩子不一定要结婚呀，精子银行全搞定。
要有个伴，还不如存多个钱请个看护或入住老人院，更热闹呢。

大学时，在课堂上借着性爱课题讨论，向讲师提问。
“因为人是合群的动物啊！”
讲师理所当然、不假思索的回答，语言表情还带着惊讶这样简单的提问。

是的，如此简单的道理，四年级在科学和人文与环境的课堂上就学过的理论，我竟参不透。

和自己唯一可以选择、喜欢的人做一辈子的伴。那是人生最幸福的事。

揪

2012-01-03T19:58:00.002+08:00

第三天了。
妈妈依然愁眉不展。
一股忧虑、紧张、着急的气息弥漫着。
妈妈的手机铃声犹像火警钟声，每当一响起不禁让人心颤。
阿嫲耐着饥、忍着渴两天两夜，却还没能排到手术房和医生的空隙。
妈妈为阿嫲心揪。我为阿嫲、妈妈心揪，却无能为力。。。

新课程

2011-12-07T20:55:00.003+08:00

是时候，
学习在寂静的客厅看电视。
习惯面对诺大的饭桌吃晚饭。
记得留意天气预告在雨天为自己撑伞。
从容面对热闹的聚会。
修车的、修电器的、修水喉的要认识几个。
幽默面对别人对身份的提问。
要学会认路。

得孤身奋战了。

忙

2011-11-29T19:51:00.001+08:00

朋友很忙。忙结婚去。
我也很忙。忙出席喜宴。

热闹后

2011-11-07T13:36:00.002+08:00

热闹后，总让人越觉寂寞。
心，好像被咬掉了一块。

那是一种孤独感。

机率

2011-10-29T23:37:00.004+08:00

多么希望勾动天地雷光火石的那一迅间同时发生在你和我的身上。
让我们一起悸动、雀跃着。
就算那一刻我们不知所措，我们却那么小心翼翼地珍惜那迅间。

这是一个关于机率的考题。再伟大的数学学家也无法算准。

如果你是那千分之一机率巧阅了这章让人抓不着头脑的文句，请忘了它吧。
我偶尔会发些神经。

敌人

2011-10-28T20:40:00.002+08:00

原来生活中的大敌人是冷漠。
学习保持持久长远的热诚是生活的智慧。

手机

2011-09-28T20:47:00.003+08:00

我还带着一架用了五年的手机。那还是老爸给买的。在我大学毕业后。开始用手机是初次离家到外地念书的当时。还记得当时第一部手机是姐的二手机。电话卡还是在准备离开家乡的前一个傍晚，在妈妈的催促下，爸爸匆忙办的。后来在念书期间，换了几部手机。写到这里，需要澄清我不是贪新厌旧。每次都是爸爸觉得需要而换的。至今，还未曾给自己买过一部手机。如果，我说我不需要手机，你会瞪大眼睛对我传达“我是老人或是怪物”之类的讯息，对吧。我不是科技派的那一卦。加上本人社交网络、人脉不广。也懒得和朋友哈拉聊天。所以，手机只是给爸妈安全感的一个物品。或许，你会惊讶为何一部手机可以用五年（电池还是原装的）。因为，基本上我的手机在充完电后就是一直存在摆设的作用直到电池耗完，然后再充电。相对于我来说，一个月的通话记录要超过五通是件难事。我的电话费一年绝不会超过一百块，，听好了是一年。我敢保证。

当然，以上的种种决不是值得炫耀的。或许，我应该是时候换部多功能的手机。

一加一等于二

2011-09-20T20:42:00.003+08:00

世界上让人深觉讽刺、荒谬的事还真多。
听了别人的故事才觉得自己的生活单纯的可以。
当你问一加一的结果，我还依然不假思索回答等于二。
这，应该是件好事吧。

可是，
爸爸说，我想的太简单代表不够精明。
妈妈说，我太老实会被骗。
姐姐说，我是笨蛋要我想远些。

可是，
可是。。。
人活得简单些，快乐才不是多谢吗？

还是坚持认为一加一等于二这答案最般配了。

无

2011-08-23T21:35:00.002+08:00

没有所谓的蓝色郁郁星期一。
也没有对周末二休的兴奋感。

对于工作还是休息都无所谓。

早已忘了感受。

笨小孩

2011-07-27T21:54:00.004+08:00

如果做错事，妈妈拿着藤条叫小孩伸手认错受刑。
你是那个会乖乖伸手的小孩吗？

那年我应该五岁，姐姐六岁。
我们借着洗澡为名，躲在浴室嬉戏整个小时。
妈妈提着嗓子在门外对我们下令。
指明藤条在手要我们无条件立即弃武投降。
裹着毛巾小心翼翼地打开门。
一如其他做错事的小孩，我们保持安静，紧低着头准备受刑。

“伸手出来！”
我们没动静。

“自动伸手我打两下。”
“不伸手我大大力打五下。”

姐姐伸手了。
妈妈守承诺打了姐姐手心两下。

“你伸不伸手？”

我犹豫。
我不想挨打。
但面子也不能丢。

“你不伸，是不是？”
最后机会已给了。

我捂着嘴，手捉紧垂落在腿边的毛巾。
我害怕，但坚持。

来了！
妈妈捉着我，五条鞭子烙下在我的屁股和大腿上。

我立即放声大哭。
大声宣告我的不满和倔强。

我就是那个笨小孩。

圆的原点

2011-07-10T23:18:00.000+08:00

地球是圆的。从马来西亚到美国；美国到马来西亚是条地平线。
感情线是圆的。从亲情到友情到爱情的认知；再回归亲情。
时间是圆的。从黎明破晓到日晒当空、进入傍晚至到黑夜侵袭；太阳再度升起。

地球是圆的，路上的风光和途上相遇的旅人却永远不会相同。
感情线是圆的。当回归亲情的当儿对感情的认知、责任的背负已不再相同。
时间是圆的。岁月却堆积了历练不断改变人们的思维。

回到原点，期许自己在熟悉的环境里看到的、探索的有别于以前。
我要把以前忽略掉的东西再重新发现一次。

十一点三十四分

2011-06-06T23:31:00.003+08:00

电脑荧幕显示十一点三十四分.
已过了我的睡眠时间.
明明很捆但又不想下线.
滑鼠移上又滑下不知何去何从.
望着荧幕我空发呆.
手搁在键盘上不懂该按下哪个字母键.
一个困境.

总觉得这样

2011-06-05T16:04:00.013+08:00

昨晚和一些老同学去了母校建校一百年庆嘉年华会，顺道小聚会了。

席间老同学们无聊的讲讲笑话、互相调侃。我也不自觉地透露了最近找工的困境和压力。

同学们都劝说放松心情找起工来也比较会顺心些。有些还建议疯狂的放纵自己，如日夜颠倒、睡到饱到爽、什么都不要做不要想只吃喝拉撒睡和摇脚。

虽然听起来此建议有点废，但想想从懂事以来从未做过在自己理智以外真正撒野的事情。

没有工作的日子我都让自己早起些。就算只是看看报纸、电视、上网。总觉得这样才没有在浪费时间。

以前读书的日子没人给我压力非要拿好成绩不可，但自己总会给自己无谓的压力让别人的期许转换成一种非要达成的目标不可。让不是特别聪明的自己死读死背死记。总觉得这样才不会辜负他人。

在工作上我不喜欢假他人之手，每件事都做得特别整齐、资料或记录都一目了然。一些不着边的琐碎小事，我都会替别人弄好。总觉得这样才算负责任。

空闲无聊时，总弄些小卡或整理柜子、照片；最近则勉强自己多阅读。不让自己发呆浪费时间。总觉得这样才不会让自己过得很废。

就算再忙、再累、再赶，都会抽时间想帮妈妈多捏些包虽然并没有真正帮上忙减轻她的负担。总觉得这样才叫孝顺。

明知道这些小事都显得很无谓、很琐碎。但一直重复在作着、严厉自己。我从没有让自己酩酊大醉过、没有向反对我念心理学的爸爸提过我很遗憾没念上自己喜欢的科目、没向我最爱的妈妈表示过心疼、没向我曾暗恋过的男孩们显示过一点我的心意、没向过我的好朋友们说过其实我也很怕孤独寂寞终老。

墨守成规的我，看是守规则的乖孩子，却是一点都不勇敢、不坦诚。

百年婚潮

2011-05-29T22:19:00.001+08:00

报章天天都在提“百年婚潮”。

不太理解其背后真真的正解。

但我想多指的是“大家都在赶结婚”。

应该是这样了。

反正，

打开报纸歌星明星都在结婚。

去喝个茶聚个会铁定会扯出朋友中谁将要结婚。

面子书上一堆上载的浪漫艺术婚纱照。

朋友网上传载留言叮咛出席婚宴。

长辈三不五十又说要去当大家长喝茶给红包去。

但是，

有人可以告诉我到底为什么大家都在赶结婚啊？

不知道

2011-05-26T18:34:00.002+08:00

恐惧，动力在慢慢地消失着。
恐惧，迷失于寻找人生目标。
恐惧，自己逐渐麻木的感受。
恐惧，无法掌握的无知未来。

恐惧的是没有动力、没有目标、没有感受、不知道自己想法的我。

因为年纪长了

2011-05-07T11:47:00.004+08:00

许多东西不再坚持了，因为年纪长了。
许多东西可以理解了，因为年纪长了。
许多东西能身同感受了，因为年纪长了。
许多东西更容易满足了，因为年纪长了。
许多东西不能以自己为出发点了，因为年纪长了。

因为年纪长了，所以觉得要珍惜拥有的许多东西。

我的生日

2010-09-11T16:01:00.003+08:00

自小就没有庆祝生日的习惯。所以一直非常害怕面对那种大伙捧着蛋糕高唱生日歌成为焦点的尴尬场面。昨天，第一次在国外度过了一个五味杂陈昏昏噩噩的生日。

昏噩是因为喉咙痛、头昏、肌肉酸痛、双脚乏力。这是连续一星期加班十二个钟的累透的后遗症。一直工作，包装奇异果、服止痛药和喝盐水。

五味杂陈是姐姐特地蒸制了个鸡蛋糕。鸡蛋糕上面用米谷拼排了“生日快乐”。外加了每年妈妈会为我做的红鸡蛋，但，此红鸡蛋是用红笔写上的。晚上十点，吹灭了蜡烛，心里默默许愿-许愿我家人健康、平安和快乐。

姐姐和我

2010-09-04T11:31:00.000+08:00

突然想写我的姐姐。就只是纯粹的、单纯的，陈述中带点感性的记录。

十七个月的年龄差距似乎若远若近的紧系我们。关于脸孔、个性，我俩是完全的不同。外表上，她长得像妈，我长得像爸；性格上，她像爸，我像妈。在外头，盖上了我俩的名字，没人会猜得着我俩的关系。短的来说，除了我们都不爱酸的食物、草莓和热爱旅游外，其余的真的找不着相似的共同点。

列一：她爱研究烹饪新奇的食物；我从来只爱收拾和整理。

列二: 她处事圆滑变通；我认为应该坦率直接。

列三：她说人事交际是社会生存之道；我每次都我行我素。

列四：她爱薯类、巧克力饮品；我疯面包、牛奶。

列五：她皮肤属干会裂、会痒；我属油会长青春痘。

列六：她是科技派；我是艺术派。

列七：她头发密、厚；我头发疏、细。

列八：她聪敏学习力强；我默默耕耘型。

列九：她总掉三落四；我细心、龟毛。

列十：她有些邋遢；我过分井井有条。

我想正因为这样，我们不时会斗斗嘴地。但也正因为这样，我们同时也是生活上的最佳排档。

白领和蓝领

2010-08-31T17:54:00.002+08:00

白领和蓝领的不同处：
白领配合上司、迎合客户、力求个人表现；
蓝领服从主管、遵照指令、争取加班时间。

白领和蓝领的共同出：
察言观色，尤其是上司/主管一举一动背后的真正意义。

噢，这样的生存之道有些累人。
我只想努力尽责完成每个工作。
（一定会被骂笨。）

框框

2010-08-08T17:49:00.002+08:00

人总是习惯性的躲入自己所熟悉的环境。

因为新环境是如此陌生、充满许多的未知数，令人忐忑不安。

在冒险和安全之间，人总择后弃前。

有天我择了冒险，并不代表我勇敢。

只是不想望着伸手可摘的梦想遗憾。

我的家人请忍耐一会儿。

我清楚知道家的方向。

五十天

2010-06-26T20:03:00.006+08:00

在路上五十天。

除了解决旅程上的目的地、交通问题和基本生活需求的吃喝拉撒睡，
也观察别人怎么生活。
偶尔思考未来的人生、工作的意义。

他人的生活，
自己碰上的难题，
真切地体验，
更深地体会和了解自己的所求。

喜欢旅游，会喜欢一辈子直到走不动、走不了。
因为路上让人惊奇、感激、消除距离和单面思考。
但不会持续地一直在路上。
家，永远是期盼的目的地。

曾经只是尽责的工作。
往后也会尽全力地热爱和享受工作。
因为工作原是生活的动力和活力泉源。

我会更加努力生活，从今以后。

上路

2010-05-12T11:50:00.003+08:00

带着林悦的《我的私房地图》出走。
那是关于24个大马人的旅游故事。
望从中借于他们的勇气和坚韧上路去。

我爱我的家和马来西亚。所以她永远是我的终点站。

我的时光机

2010-05-02T10:57:00.021+08:00

这是我的私人时光宝盒。
长大成了大人后，工作和琐事让回忆变得模糊。
许多曾经和自己最亲密的记忆都被时间无情遗忘一辈子。
其中最惋惜的事莫不过于当朋友聊起过去的时光和自己，
拼了命地在脑海的记忆库挖掘，却无迹可寻。
曾经的过去都是历史。虽然琐碎，虽然平凡，那是自己最珍贵的回忆。
如果有天老去，不想记忆都是空白的。
所以，一点一滴地收集即将转变成回忆的现在。

宝盒里的画具
“喜欢”是件很抽象的事。你说不上来喜欢的原因，偏偏却被吸引，离不开。
喜欢画画是很自然的事。懂得很迟。12岁以前，只是羡慕别人可以画图画得很美。
小六上美术课，已离开的陈芳盈老师很认真地教课。从此，喜欢画画。

13岁决定学画。谢老师倾囊相受。
中学时期多了水彩和素描的陪伴。

其中占据宝盒多空间的信和卡
左边是笔友的信，中间是新年贺卡，右边是生日卡
好久没有真实地握笔写长篇的书信。收到的文字越变可贵。
尤其喜欢看见信封粘贴的邮票，有那遥远的祝福和怀念。

或许很肤浅，但是生日有人记得是件感动又愉快的事。
谢谢我的朋友们。

宝盒中3岁的无忧、7岁的单纯和13岁的青涩
无意地收集却是最无价的珍藏。

书签独占宝盒一角
小时很爱书本，所以连带喜欢书签。
那年我们喜欢以书签代替生日卡。

七彩的名信卡
小时侯的我们都爱模仿大人的世界。
现在看回，有些好笑，有些幼稚。

学长的时代
小学的时候，自告奋勇报名要当巡查员。
小五、小六当了两年，下愿不再担任任何责任职位。
中学的时候，被老师挑上当学长。
和老师说想专心学业。老师回说，这是我的部分责任。
中二到中五毕业都是学长身份。
曾不满国中学校的学长制度，以学长身份和校长抗争，但败了。
第一次尝到了不平对待的滋味。

小型星座记事本
记忆中好像是堂妹送的。收着收着，也收了十年有多了。

名字石印-最喜欢的礼物
初中的生日礼物。是小学要好的朋友们送的。
那年他们离开到另一个城镇升学去了。

Another goodbye

2010-04-30T20:08:00.002+08:00

Two years three months and ten days.
Times create relationship. And, it makes leaving hard.

Guess there were some unpleasant and up sad moments.
But there were more delighted and cheerful memories.

Thank you, thank you and thank you.
Time to say goodbye.

清明记

2010-04-18T16:11:00.011+08:00

每个墓碑诉说着每个不为人知的家族历史、故事和秘密。
每个清明节是纪念、怀念和感激。更是乡愁。
长辈口中温和细心的阿公、精明爱抽烟的阿嘛都会牢牢记住在心里和脑海里。

以下照片献给林诗韵和林筱韵。

再起程

2010-03-24T22:07:00.006+08:00

大学毕业后，第一件做的事是去了旅行。它花完了我所有的储蓄，当中包括了我3年省吃俭用的贷款。当时，可以为了省5毛钱的巴士费或3块钱的德士费而扛着重重的行李花半个钟从车站走到在山坡上的宿舍。可，这些辛苦省而剩下的贷款都一次狠狠花在那次的旅程。那一次的目的地是纽西兰。选她的目的是因为她的美。传说中的蓝天碧云，青草原确实没让我失望还让我为之惊叹，兴奋不已。至今，她还是我首选最喜爱的地方和国家。纽西兰，她一直让我念念不忘。

这几年，一直在旅行。把所有的时间，假期和缴贷款所剩余的储蓄全都给上了。在旅行中看到的，寻找的美，渐渐地变得有所不同了。美，的意义不再仅全是对景物上的留念。更多的是珍惜感恩的美，热情单纯的美，慷慨的美，刻苦踏实的美和追逐梦想的美。

当你感叹着简陋的起居，小孩却要求你为她拍照。看见相机荧幕上的自己，满足地给你大大的笑容。

当你抱怨着漫天沙尘，居民却只默默地清扫、刷洗。从复地，持续地。

当你还在衡量他人的用意和目的，服务生却单纯地只是好奇你生长的国度。

当你想尽法子坑别人的好处，相识一天的陌生人却为你奉上最丰盛的晚餐。

当你犹豫不决凝聚勇气，她已潇洒地背起行囊只身踏上梦想的国度。

再次起程。是圆梦。是为不留遗憾。是探索。是发现。

发现不只是蓝天白云青草地的纽西兰。

决定

2010-03-08T23:30:00.002+08:00

虽然，没有很喜欢，没有很眷恋。决定早已做好。
但是，要离开，还是会舍不得，会难过。

心很坚定。
但还是需要勇气。

Just an idea

2010-03-06T19:46:00.003+08:00

野餐记

2010-02-25T19:28:00.013+08:00

在一个风和日丽的星期天，爸爸突然心血来潮提议带我们一家到公园去野餐。。。
在小学的作文里，曾这样的描写过我的野餐记。
仔细想想，从我有记忆以来却从没有过真真的野餐的经验。
在36度的大热天，在家吹吹冷气、看看电视不是很好吗？野餐？白痴呵。
更何况，我们家最小的小孩今年都二十了。
可是，
就在虎年的大年初二，我们全家到雨城太平湖野餐去了。。。

迈向目的地。
　物色落脚处。
　铺上席子。

摆好食物。

开动啰。

分享中。

津津有味中。

照相留念。

靓湖美景。

卷铺盖走人。

潇潇洒洒

2010-02-21T20:49:00.006+08:00

从没想过要的是怎样的未来。
从没真正规划过自己的人生。
买车？买房子？当上司或老板？结婚？生小孩？
没想过也没概念。
别说十年五年，明年的目标是什么也不知道。
没抱负也没理想。
或许你会说我在浪费人生。
人生苦短，我只想潇潇洒洒的走一回。
我可以住小房，驾小车，背包旅行。
但，有时候潇潇洒洒的人生也需要付出极大的代价。
例如说世故的眼光，孤寂的晚年。。。

生存规则

2010-02-05T18:35:00.003+08:00

对工作保持长远的热诚是件相当考意志的事。
不断催眠自己，不断说服自己。每天，每天。
可是，当碰上不平的事，意志就在下一秒瓦解了。
观言察色，是每个上班族必修的学问。
服从上司，是每个下属无可置疑须遵从的。
忍气吞声，是对客户的哲理。
防范小人，是保障生活饭碗的基本法则。
选择当一个上班族，就无法逃脱这样的工作生存规则。

讨厌

2010-02-01T18:26:00.001+08:00

冷漠。封闭。我行我素。
有点讨厌这样的自己。

Graduated almost for 4 years. Still, not too sure I was belong to JR1 or JR3?!

尼泊尔

2010-01-10T11:17:00.011+08:00

尼泊尔给我一个很大的冲击。体力上、思绪上。

那种惊叹、那种惋惜、那种折服，无法深深地体会却又不由自主地感动。

别再问为什么出游到哪里。到哪里一趟，你会爱上它。去吧。

Things I learned in Nepal

2009-12-28T20:23:00.017+08:00

Why Nepal?
Keep being asked.

Good environment?
Nope. It is not.
It is under construction. It is dusty. Heavily dusted.

Is it under develop?
It is.
It is not fully supplied with electricity.
The local is still very much depending on ancient underground water system.
Majority of the local is earning very little. Supply is more than demand.
The percentage of literacy is low. Many children are not going to school.
There are still lots of hard work to improve the traffic and transportation system. 200km journey it takes us almost 7 hours.
Upon of this. It is beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful.

Keep stunned,
The view of layers of mountains.
The changing colors of the hill top during sunrise and sunset.

Touched,
The generous of local in accepting and respecting other religions.
The sincerity of local in providing good services without expecting any return.

Amazed,
The colorful and variety of its religions.
The way of the local taking ease of their difficult life.

I am very much appreciated. I have been Nepal.

I learned,
Not to demand too much.
Be generous to others.

Treasure everything I am having.

有意思

2009-12-21T19:09:00.004+08:00

对李宇春不是很了解。从没完完整整、认认真真听过她的歌。只知道她参加《超级女声》，是位中性打扮的歌手。今天，在星洲副刊看到她的专访，非常有趣、很酷。

你觉得自己身上最大的魅力是什么？
你自己看啊，我今天穿了一件上衣，一条裤子.

出道4年, 你觉得自己变化最大的是什么?
老了.

进入娱乐圈的人, 似乎成长地更快?
即使你不做艺人, 也要成熟起来啊.

你希望别人怎么看你?
我一般目不斜视.

你有跟人吵架, 拍过桌子吗?
你拍我就拍啊.

娱乐圈光鲜的背后其实也要付出很大的代价, 结婚生子也不能堂堂正正. 如果有一天也结婚生子, 你会这样吗?
那你得问如果啊.

你觉得自己算成功吗?
有的东西比成功更重要, 因为那决定了我们是谁.

5th Dec, 2009

2009-12-02T21:27:00.002+08:00

It is something I've been waiting through out the whole year.
Finally, it is confirmed. And, I'm flying this Saturday.

What is so fun about Nepal? I'll let you know soon...

学习

2009-11-28T20:37:00.002+08:00

心情有些不平衡。
不喜欢别人闯入我规律的生活习惯。
这是极端吗？这是孤僻吗？
不理会别人对我的眼光。
但，希望得到我亲爱家人的理解。
当我在学习着包容和宽阔的心胸。

For A Dream

2009-11-14T23:11:00.003+08:00

Too many plans for 2010.
They involved scarification.
All the saving will gone.
Job has to be dropped.
Ultimately,
it needs huge courage to make a move,
to make a dream come true.

Just for memory. And,
not many people think it is worth.

近视后感

2009-08-28T19:01:00.003+08:00

三个月前，被宣判成近视分子。
虽然，只是左右眼各近视加散光二十五度。但，对一个近二十五年来清晰看世界的我却足以造成困扰。还一度怀疑眼睛长了瘤或得了白内障什么的。也懂了那种望着钟却不能确定时间；看着了人却看不着表情；远方朦胧一片的郁闷心情。
这样的生活过着过着，竟也习惯了。焕然间，意外惊觉自己不再在意朦胧地过日子。舍去墙上的钟取而手上的表，不再执著着看清某人说话真心诚意的表情，也接受着无法看清的远方景物。
时间确实是强大的催化剂。让人在不知不觉中改变了生活习惯甚至思想观念。

段阶

2009-07-27T22:33:00.000+08:00

当我们还是孩提的时候，父母是我们的全部。亲情是我们仅全认识的。

上学了以后，同学们变成了朋友。朋友一年比一年多。我们一起共同高唱友谊万岁。

在偶然的一天，我们遇上了让我们心动不已，愿意为对方不顾一切的付出全部。怦然心动的爱情是我们人生的全部。

当我们孕育了另一个相同血脉的小不点同时，我们生活的中心开始转移于他们身上。我们回归到了亲情的最根本。

和老朋友约了一个月却一杯茶还没喝上，一部电影还没看过。想旅行，上网查询了机票，行程却找不着旅伴。现在，我就在这样的一个段阶。

我真的真的为我的朋友们找到幸福而感到快乐。但，有空记得想我，喝喝杯茶嘛。

I'm sorry, Boss

2009-07-21T18:52:00.003+08:00

My carelessness brought to a seriousness mistake on the work.
I'm guilty.
I'm sorry.
I just overlooked.
Unfinished workloads are like tans for every single working days. And, I'm seriously working on every pieces of assigned tasks. And, I always do.
I know I shouldn't look for any excuses.
Boss, I can't promise or guarantee that similar mistake would not be happened again in future. Because. I do try my very best to avoid it.

I'm sorry.

阿嫲八十三岁，经历无数无数次悲痛的生死离别。在妈妈十一岁时，阿嫲送走了生病的阿公。好不容易把八个儿女拉拔成人，新婚小媳妇却意外车祸生亡。大姨毫无征兆地于三十六岁高血压病逝。二舅也不幸于四十青年壮期突然逝世。两年前，阿嫲最疼爱的勤劳大舅战败病癌离开了他忧心的阿嫲。不幸的事，好像会无限期的展延。这星期二，阿嫲又得接受年华盛茂大长孙车祸逝世的事实。三十三岁的表哥在加班的夜晚，骑单车归家途中撞上迎面而来的单车，就这样撤下妻子，七岁儿子和八个月大哺哺待育的女儿离开世间。

亲戚说，生于大伯公诞的阿嫲，命太硬了。我说，阿嫲这一生太悲痛了。。。

幸福，真的不是必然的。

老去

2009-05-07T19:28:00.001+08:00

二十四岁七个月又二十八天。我的青春在年华老去。如果我有七十岁命，我的人生已走过了三分之一。
身边有男性朋友总不明白为何女生总害怕承认自己年长的事实。确实，那是件可怕的事实。看着眼角的鱼尾纹逐渐多了深了，眼袋渐渐下垂了，皮肤开始长斑了（人家说那是老人斑），吃得少肚腩却越大了，体力越来越差了，动作变得笨拙了，腰会痛了，熬不了夜了。。。你说，那不可怕吗？
而真正可怕的是在你暮然回首之时，才惊觉你已老去了。

cursed

2009-03-31T20:21:00.004+08:00

I guess i'm self-centralized. I guess i'm fussy. I guess i'm not an easy going person.
That's why i couldn't make a move to adapt lifestyles other than mine.
I'm cursed to be alone.

我把它归纳为荷尔蒙的变化。

晚饭席间，妈妈偶然提起，过了年姐姐虚龄将是二十七。大家突然惊觉咱门家有女要迈入三十大关的门槛。而且不是一个而是两个。姐姐二七，我就二六了。天呀，真是难以置信！！妈妈说他二七的时候，已生了我弟结束了他的生育期。而我们还如小孩一般。我确实不想长大，拒绝变老。天啊！我怎么可能已经是二十六了呢！？！？！？！？！？！？

感叹

2008-10-21T21:19:00.016+08:00

第二次踏上中国大陆。
对于中华文化，中国人的生活习惯，人文风情有着许多的疑问和不解。更多的是失望和无法接受。

举一：不守秩序
在中国“排队”二字实质上并不存在。插队是他们的习惯。然而最让人发火的是他们爱立起手肘将你推把你挤。别以为你把入口处堵了你的位子就得到了保障，他们会后来居上明目张胆理所当然地抢了你的位子丝毫不愧疚。

举二：“解放”自如的功夫
大家早有所闻中国没厕门的厕所，这种情况我们可以视它为逼于无奈。实际上，中国的厕门却无用武之地。只因大家都爱不关门如厕。就算大解，就算人来人往，就算众人目光睽睽，也可以一贯收放自如无拘无束。

举三：诈欺游客
无可否认，身为游客总会被本地商人敲诈，或多或少。在中国，这种情况处处上演。中国商人手段极其高明且具创意，软硬兼施，无孔不入，游客连连上当却浑然不知，死得不明不白，非常冤枉。
实案一：强硬邀游客热情参于民族文化表演，其后却要求付费。如果大钞付上怒不找钱，其余化作小费。
实案二：博取游客同情心，如利用小孩，美色，损伤身体某部分等。且目标锁定男游客。

不知提倡礼仪廉耻的老子先生会否感到失望。可我是很感叹。

The little excitement in meeting my primary old schoolmates.
We knew each in our navy childhood. We grew. We found we are still who we are.

A long lost friend

2008-06-13T19:10:00.003+08:00

Dumpling festival. It makes me thought of someone. Of cause, no 'Qu Yuan' but a friend. A friend i knew at my college and university time. She and I are totally diffrent from the personality or even thoughts. She loves pet but i don't. She likes cool stuff and always got her own style in fashion, but i never do. She likes black and white is my favourite colour. She likes rock music but I never appreciate it. Because of homesick and assignments, we were close. Both of us were not the kind of people who were good in tracker pressure, so we always done our assignments ahead of others. We were always a pair of good partner. She was the one would stay with me in the Mac Lab the whole day croping the animals with photoshop for our advertisement project. She would still keep on croping when get back to hostel and both of us would combine our work for the next day. We studied Mass Communication thus we gotta always prepare for questionaires. She was the one would stay and scracing the head along with me for hours. She did most of the article side and I did most of the technical part for our assignment. We got a fruitful partnership throughout our years in university. They were all sound very 'business', i know. She never understood me wearing slipper in rainning day likewise i questioning her for wearing the proper sport shoes. But she was also the one who shared the umbrella with me while we were heading our way to Pudu Raya. She shared her mother home made dumpling with me when she gotta know that I have to stay at PJ for the dumpling festival. She bought me a black dog doll as my birthday gift to bring me luck as she knew i drive all the time. That is friend called, isn't? However, i really couldn't imagine that the homely girl made a huge decision to go abroad. That required tremendous courages. I knew she wishes for a diffrent way to live for, something others than works. May be she is just seaching for her own dream but not to surrander for the reality like others did. Whatever it is I really wish her the best of luck and it would be good if she can keep me posted of her latest news. You know I'm talking about you..

肯定。

2008-05-23T20:15:00.000+08:00

会有人为我的用心和努力给于肯定和赞赏吗？
如果真的会的话，请别太迟。
因为我的自我肯定就快耗尽了。。。

妈妈说：“你作麽在我白白的墙上画画”？！
弟弟说：“你真的要在这里画？家里没有白漆，画坏的话，就没得补救了”。
姐姐说：“你应该在角落画先”!

在冒着冷汗的情况下，完成了本人第一副半抽象画。幸好还不至于恶语如潮。

要致敬给所有的艺术家，你们是伟大的！

My pony tail

2008-03-30T11:03:00.005+08:00

I first kept my long hair in the age of 21.
I kept it because of a beat with my brother.
I won, lastly.

Soon after I got the 50 dollar from him, I cut my hair.
This mad him up.

Feel sorry (may be), so keep my hair long again.

And, here again my pony tail.

许多事我们都把它看成理所当然而忘了要珍惜.

它们和我生活在同样的空间里许久许久…
恍然间发现, 我原来忽略了它们的存在这样久..

I’m really in such a bad luck!
I get involved in the car accident for twice in the month of November; while this was my third times in the year of 2007. It is not a good record and I really don’t want to make record like this anymore!
Dear Jesus, Dear Allah, Dear 大伯公, Dear 观音菩萨, Dear 世迦無呢, I really need some luck and your protection as well!

Likewise Khang Nee stated in one of her articles, 'things became meaningful and perfect when you recalled back; due to the change of time and mood'. I really agree with her. Even though, my trip to Hong Kong, Macau and Guang Tong was not great enough, it was still part of my memories. I'll carefully take care of it.

事后回味，原来比“当时”更有意思。

经过时间的沉淀，心情的转变，

不尽美好的事情也会变得无缺陷。

~Quoted from Khang Nee

The famous seafood and night view of Hong Kong. They are terrific but I really don't feel the like toward the polluted air, greyly sky, overcrowded buildings and unfriendly citizens.

This is the MTR system in Hong Kong. It is comfort, clean and convenient; it is connected to 'Shen Zhen'. However, I'm afraid that you are forced to spend some time at the China and Hong Kong custom.

'Wong Da Sin' blesses all His followers.

Love you always...

Travel for life

2007-11-03T15:13:00.000+08:00

In one and half year, I had gone for nine countries. I know it is something too much...

I can stop myself from buying the stuff that I really like. I can eat less. I can work on part time job. I can find all the way to apply for the leave even the unpaid one just for traveling. But, I just cannot stop myself from travel…

Traveling is not only about fun, it is a way I collected my memory, I learned a country’s culture, history and its people. And, of course, it is also a good excuse for me to escape from those dull, boring working days…

I just wish I could keep on traveling for the rest of my life…

Pray for it

2007-10-11T09:37:00.000+08:00

If there is a if.
If there is a possibility.

Let's pray for it to be happened.
Sincerely.

Do you?

2007-09-29T10:12:00.000+08:00

Do you still remember the ambition of your young time?Do you?

The first ambition of mine was to be a teacher. At that time I was only six. Throughout all my childhood, I used to have my sister as my company and I used to believe all she said even thought she was just bluffing around. She is just a year elder than me, but she was my entire world. One day, she went for the formal school and I became alone. In those free times after kindergarten schooling, I spent most of the time in role-play as a teacher. I wrote or drew something meaningless in the little blackboard and started to talk nonsense into the air. My students were someone only I could see in my imagination. And, I even created names for my students. Inside my little heart, I really thought that teacher was the most respectful job in the world. Anyhow, in a short period I started to realize that teacher was not an easy job and i always do.

If said, teacher is the “Engineer of the human being”; I would rather be attracted by the word of the “Engineer” itself. I did not have a single cue of what exact the engineer does but in my opinion it was a better job than teacher. So, engineer was always the one I used to state in the ambition form in my primary school time.

My ambition changed once again in my secondary. This time, it was something much more “enormous”- doctor. The reason I wanted to become a doctor was simple enough as I wanted to be like Dr. Green, Dr. Drog and Dr. Carter in the drama series E.R. But, this dream did not stand for long as well. Soon, I knew the hardship to achieve for this great dream if look into the financial and academic aspect. Therefore, I turned into psychology. I was a quiet and sky girl since I was small. Due to this, I was poor in building up a close relationship among my schoolmates and always bad in socialization. In term of this, I was keen to look out more solutions and decided to become a psychologist. However, my dream was cruelly turned down by my family before long i went for the college.

Out of my expectation, I got my degree in Journalism. It was something I never thought of in my life. Yet, I neither become a writer nor reporter after my graduation. For those endless interviews in my job hunting period, the interviewees were always surprised and shown their curiosity with the course I took. Evitable, I could not run of this question- why I did not roll in the mass communication industry. For me, it was really a boring question as I had answered it for more than thousands time, though the answer I provided was not really convince myself.

I was always being asked for what kind of job I was looking into. Frankly, I do not have an answer. I do not know what I want to become. Dream, ambition, they all seem very far away from me.

Do you?Do you know why and what are you working for? If you managed to answer it, I really really envy on you. You are the happiest one.

乡愁. 滋味

"乡愁是游子永远放不下的背包, 乡愁里面, 最无法舍去的重量是味道.
5年, 10年, 20年, 名成了, 利就了, 你以为你已经适应了异乡, 你以为你已经戒掉关于家乡的一切, 但是, 一道名不见传的家乡小菜, 依然日日夜夜在心灵最深处温着, 呼唤漂泊的灵魂.
味觉的记忆永远戒不掉. 躲在味蕾里的乡愁, 是最顽冥不化的乡愁.
然而, 酿造乡愁不一定需要空间的转移, 即使从来没有离开过出生地的人, 面对越来越陌生的土地, 也会常常感觉孤独, 寂寞, 思念以前的味道.
很多时候, 我们想吃的, 其实不只是家乡的味道, 而是记忆中时光的滋味.”
~摘自于二零零七年九月二日快乐星期天副刊专题

所以, 每年的红鸡蛋对我来说都特具意义.
谢谢, 妈妈.

P/s: Sze Chia, Happy Birthday and this post is specially for you.

Please!

“You’re not up to my level.”
“All my teammates are English educated.”
“I don’t see any reason why you applied for this job.”

I always know that I’m not that good in term of my education achievement, my working experience that I’ve gained through all this while; but I’m not that bad actually…

I know I’m not a smart person but I’m willing to learn.
I know I’m not aggressive in my career but I’m absolutely hardworking.
I know I’m lack of experiences but I’m ready to do my best.

Dear employer, if you think that I’m not up to your expectation or level, please just rejects me in the proper and polite way. I’m here for interview to present myself but not to beg you for a job. Yes, you do have the authority to eliminate any of the candidates but please be reminded that we’ve feeling too. We don’t expect you to provide us any candies or chocolates but at least PLEASE do let’s us to leave with our self esteem.

安分守己

2007-08-16T11:47:00.000+08:00

“每个人都有自己的等待.
或许是努力不够, 也可能是命运捉弄, 等待不一定都有结果.
有的人一生都等不到, 却一直等下去.
等待多半是惆怅的, 但也有人在等待中, 散发热情光芒…”
~摘自于二零零七年八月十六日光明副刊

我不喜欢等, 也没耐性. 等待对于我来说, 是种漫长的过程. 日夜期盼着更是种几乎痛苦的折磨… 奈何我既不能掌控天时也不能掌握地力, 唯有安分守己的等下去.

我等待着许多的机缘. 你也是吧?

Thank you and Goodbye

Dedicate to my pupils

2007-05-16T17:22:00.000+08:00

Dear pupils,

There are the last two drawing classes I will be with you. I hope that you all wouldn’t be surprised with this news. Forgive me for not informing you much earlier, as I’m still finding the best time, the best way to tell you my decision. I did this decision since the end of March, and I would like to make it clear that it is nothing to do with you. Due to the past two horrible experiences in teaching and dealing with kids, I am kind of phobia to children. However, this time I managed to do the classes with you for five months. It is a long period for me and I never expect that I actually can stand for that long. This is because of you. I feel hard whenever I think off to quit. Anyway, I got to go… I don’t feel ease in working in such environment, and you are just the victims in this business world. I have to admit that the adult’s world is complicated; and it is out of your imagination and far beyond your understanding.

For my leaving, I know it will not bring too much impact to you. Soon you will get used to the new teacher and her way of teaching as I have been get through with you before. And, soon you will forget me…

Anyhow, I really hope that you did learn something from me as I always wish. I might not a good teacher but I do try hard to be the teacher of you. Children, thank you. Thanks for everything. I will carefully take care of the memories that you gave me both the good and bad, the happy and sad one. I will remember your sweet voices in singing the song of “Tong Hua”, counting the numbers and alphabet that just out of sudden while you were doing the colouring. I will remember the confusing faces in asking me why you could not put the colour you want; the expecting faces in waiting for my appraises, my permission to go for the toilet as well as the my last word to end the class. I will keep them all in my heart.

I know the possibility for you to read this post is almost equal to nil. However, I would like to leave my few words for you.

"Yan Xuan, Ji Yong, Ren Jun"

Yan Xuan: You always try hard to make a good piece of work for you and me. And, I am glad that you show your interest in drawing and colouring. You are the beautiful, kind and friendly girl in the class. Therefore, you are always being liked by others. And, I am proud with your generous in treating your friends; you give your encouragements to them and make friend with newcomers. Your big smiling face in saying “Jia You” will be always stored in my heart. “Jia You”, Yan Xuan!

Shi En: You are observant and fast-learner. So, I believe a little patient and concentration will make you excellent. Girl, I hope you could work hard for yourself but no others reason. Open your heart for criticisms and you would find a wonderful world around you. All the best for you.

"Wan Ping, Chi San, Jin Hui"

Jing Hui: You are the quietest girl in the class and I rarely heard your voice throughout this five months. You always provide the most cooperation for me during the class but I wish you could be more confident in the future of what you are doing. Believe in yourself, my girl! And, hope you could smile more.

Chi San: You are a smart and quiet girl. You really concentrate in the class and it is not easy for a little girl in the age of five. I know in future you will success in any field that you would roll in. May you joy and happiness in everyday of your life.

Wan Ping: You are the only girl who offered yourself to join my class. It is an honor for me and I could see your hard work in every pieces of your work. Keep going!

"Kai Bing"

Kai Bing: The little shy boy sometime could be very naughty too! You have a high sense of colour mixing but sad to say you show not much interest in drawing. Whatever it is I sincerely wish you happy and it is nice to know you!

"Yau Xuan, Xin Rou;

Yan Xuan, Shi En, Sherlyn, Ji Yong"

Xin Rou: It is not a long period since you join the class, however you seem enjoy yourself in drawing. I am happy of that. You are such a nice and sweet girl. May you happy always and enjoy the life!

Sherlyn: What a smart and creative girl! You catch up things really fast and you bring lots of surprises to the class. We really have fun with you. Let’s cheer for the life!

"Yi Jie, Yu Jian"

Ji Yong, Ren Jun, Yao Xuan, Yi Jie, Pei En, Yu Jian and Xin Ru: I am happy to have classes with you and I send my best wishes to you. Happy growing, my little boys and girls!

May your days full of sunshine and blessing. Good bye.

Best regards,
Chen Chien

Stories about books

2007-05-01T13:12:00.000+08:00

Book was my favourite things for once when I was small.

The first fairy-tale that I got touch with was “The Mermaid”. I was five at that time. I remember in that year my mother brought my sis and I to Penang Island to visit my aunt. And, my grandmother was keeping us company along the way. We went for a little shopping, and “The Mermaid” was the book my mother bought for my sis while I got a book named “小伊达的梦境”. For your information, it was story about a girl, 伊达 who liked flowers very much. She planted a lot of flowers and always took a good care of them. But at one night she dreamed all her flowers attended for a dancing party and they danced happily through out the night. On the next day, when伊达woke up, she found that her plants and flowers were all withered. 伊达sadly buried them up; and it was the end of the story. Until today, I still have no idea of what exact lesson the story wished to send out. Anyway, I kept the book for many years in a very good condition. Ya, “The Mermaid”! My sis and I shared the story on ferry while we were on our way back home. The story was started in this way “在很深很深的海底里, 住着一个海王. 他有六个漂亮的女儿…”. And, of course at that age, I couldn’t recognised many of the vocabularies. It was my sis guided through me in understanding the story. I was so attracted to the beautiful story between the Mermaid and the Prince until I couldn’t accept the ending of the story, which the Mermaid finally gone into bubbles. I was sad for quite a long period. It was the first ever fairy-tale I had read.

Then, I went into primary school. Sad to say, it was the period I read the most books ever in my life. I just loved book. Every time, I followed my mother to supermarket (shopping mall was still not popular at that time), I must visit stationery department and spent the most time hang around there. Certainly, library was the place gave me a lot of excitement. At the age of 12, I had finished reading 巴金 most famous literature- “家”, “春”, “秋". I read them because they were thick enough. If not mistaken, “家” was 500 something pages while “春” and “秋” were much thicker. I was neither appreciated nor truly understood those pieces of works of the great author at the young age. However, I did like a lot the character of 觉慧.

Afterward, I started to get touch with novel. “笔友” by 倪匡 was the novel I first read. From that onwards, I couldn’t help myself falling in love with the works of 倪匡. He is such an amazing and awesome author. If you are his fans, you’ll agree with me of his truly remarkable imagination and creativity. I went through all his two series of work- “卫斯理” and “穆兰花” during my lower secondary. It was always a kind of enjoyment in reading his novel, as you could feel your heart was pumping faster and faster…

"My favourite author for once"

"His books always come along with lots of interesting stories,

however, i found some contrast thinking with the author."

"I was once laughted by my classmates

for buying such expensive books"

Later in my Form Four and Five, study became hard; the tuition classes were followed one by another, the same went to my collage and university’ time. There was no more other reading materials except reference book, text book, hand out and article that given out by lecturers. Due to the pressure I faced in my study, I even started to hate reading. I read less and less and finally nil. There were still fresh in my memory of my job hunting period last year. I was asked to fill up the interest column in the form, and I took a long time to think about it; as I really didn’t know the interest of mine! If it was in my primary school time, I had no doubt in answering as reading. I did struggle for the proper answer while trying to be honest. Few answers pass through my mind: sleeping? Surely it couldn’t be in the list. Watching movie? It seems not so suitable. Traveling? No, what if I was arranged into the sales and marketing department. Drawing? It sounds hypocrisy. Lastly, I put down as reading- the interest that I had forgone for a very long time ago. This gave me a deep thought of it.

"Most think his works souldn't be missed"

"My collection of the world literatures"

Recently, due to some factors, I went to a lot of book shops like Popular, MPH and Broader. I get touch with books again. While standing in between books, I can feel the excitement getting back to me again after years. It is such a great feeling. I miss so much the smell of book. I know I would be the happy reader again.

"These are the three interesting books that i recently found"

"One of the travel book written by local authors"

"Another travel book"

My good Job

2007-04-20T10:59:00.000+08:00

Friends said I’m lucky and they are jealous on me as I get a very GOOD job.
I think they are right and there is no way I could find such nice job elsewhere.

Friends, please see the below facts:

My working hour is started at 9 am. Every morning, I wake up at 8 am and start my journey to workplace at 8:30 am. It may seem very normal. But please be informed that the distance between my house and workplace is approximately 45 km and I need to pass by the Penang Bridge, which has been known for its busy during the peak hour. So, do you think that I managed to get to work on time? Sometimes, I should say. Being late (10 to 15 minutes) for work is not a big matter as long as I could get in earlier than my boss and others in the every lovely morning. How about the time I caught in the deadly traffic? What I need to do is making a phone call for my colleague and supervisor or if you think off to save some money on your prepaid, a SMS will so. Then, what is the reason to tell? What I did is telling the truth. At the same time, I will usually send a message to my boss informing him the condition of the traffic to avoid him to get into the jam, as he stays in Mainland too. See, what a considering worker I’m.

Sometime, office politic can be very troublesome and frustrated. Fortunate enough, I do not need to face all that at my current workplace. The social circle is very simple over here. I have a boss, a supervisor and a colleague. In other words, there are only four of us in a company or I prefer to call it as an office rather. So, we are closed for each. We talk for gossip, personal things, public affair, and etc. And, the most excited time we have is planning where to have our lunch.

Ya, we have two hours lunch time everyday, from Monday to Friday, 12 to 2 pm. And, usually we will go for shopping in between this little “happy hours”. For your information, Queensbay is now my second home as I go there during my lunch hour at least twice a week.

Friends, if you start to really envy on me, please don’t do so… I have more to tell.

My working hour starts from 9 am and ends at 6 pm. If count on that, there are 9 hours in between. In fact, I only work for 3 hours per day! No joke. Let’s have a count. In these 9 hours, 2 hours of them are lunch time. Then, deduct one more hour for the “rest room time” and the also the “late coming time” during the morning. There are still 3 hours left. Since my workload is very light, I spend those 3 hours for my personal entertainment- surfing net. Oh, how about OT? Sorry, there is no OT. I get back home sharp at 6 pm, everyday.

If you still confuse, here you go the calculation:

3 hr (work) + 2 hr (lunch) + 1 hr (rest room/late time) + 3 hr (personal time) = 9 hr

Friends, you think I’m bluffing? You better believe it. This is what my current job all about.

Yes, sometime I do feel guilty and sorry to the company and also myself, which my salary is totally not equal to my contribution at all. But would you let go such “great job” like this, where you are being paid well as a fresh graduate… I’m still in struggle.

23

2007-04-12T10:36:00.000+08:00

23 is an age a normal girl should be in love, has a boyfriend and dates a lot.
I’m soon going into the age, in few more months’ time.
Noise starts to get around me.

“Eh, where is your boyfriend?” friends ask.
“No, I didn’t have any.”
“Don’t bluff la.”
“I swear!”
“Don’t be shy, come on just tell me!’
“…”

“Go out more and don’t stay home all the time!” colleagues say.
“I prefer to stay home.”
“You need to meet more guys to open up your social world. I know a guy, he is good and I think you both are quite matching. Look for a time and I let’s both of you have a meet, okay?”
“…Mmm…”
“Okay, then deal.”
“…”

“Qin, it’s time for you to look for a boyfriend,” mother advises.
“I’m still young.”
“I will get worried if you always get alone.”
“I can live very well by myself, I can earn!”
“Then, who is going to take care of you when you are old?”
“There are old folk homes out there, mum.”
“Do you want to die alone and get smelly, fetid and putrid till no one know?”
“…”

I just wonder is there any better idea to end the above conversations then being wordless...
