大个仔了咯!

那些“小孩子”都长大了,我一直以为,他们还小。
看到朋友的弟弟妹妹后的感慨。
当年那些傻傻的、爱哭的、不起眼的、静静的、姐姐前姐姐后叫的、紧紧靠在我身边的那些小不点。
当年那个会跟我讲好多话包括他喜欢的女生的事的C.H.弟弟,昨天找我chatting,感觉他长大了。
当年那个粘在我好友她姐和我身边,看我们谈天、弹琴、做东西的妹妹,出落得漂亮可爱、才思敏捷、在教会里也很活跃。
当年那个常被我好友他姐冷落的、不起眼的、矮矮小小的可怜弟弟,变成一个结实的少年,笑得那么的阳光。
听着朋友讲他们弟妹的事,见证着他们长大,间接的他们也变成了我们一半的弟妹。

傻傻的,是在讲着小胖。以前我们最爱把他弄哭,因为很好玩,哈哈。一直到现在我还是觉得他是个可爱的小宝宝,十八岁的小宝宝。去年我毕业的时候家人来KL完,我用小孩子的话跟小胖讲话,他问我“做么你像小孩子一样跟我讲话?”,对啊,他本来就是小孩子啊, 不是吗?
以前会跟他玩这样的会话---
我“我叫我妈妈来打你哦!她很厉害,把你打哭掉!”
小胖“我妈妈更厉害,我叫她打你妈妈!”
我“我妈妈比你妈妈更厉害啊,你妈妈打输给她!”
。。。。
。。。。
云云。
明明就是同一个妈妈,还我妈妈你妈妈的。后来我再讲的时候小胖都不应了,“这个人太幼稚了”他一定这么想。哈哈。
爱哭的,就是阿hao啦,因为他爱hao(福建话:哭),哈哈!
连阿男阿弟都这么大了。

看那些小孩子们长大,变漂亮、变帅哥一个,说一堆吓你一跳的话,才惊觉到他们长大了。
或许是自己不想长大吧!
唔,原来都大了!

老家记念特辑

我的旧家最近刚被拆下了。今年新年我们两家人特地在老屋前拍照留念,此景只留在记念中了。
这间家是公公1955年(没错的话,屋外的石灰地板有写着日期)建的,屋龄小老爸五年。曾住了公公和他的兄弟们和各自的家庭,还有其他的亲戚。婆婆爸爸姑姑常讲起那年代的故事,背景就是这间年代悠久的老屋。
几年前每年的新年,这件家就是亲戚们和他们的朋友的聚集地,大家在那里“buak giao”啦,可热闹得很呢。屋子前停满了一大堆的汽车,有时还停到邻居家去,不懂的人,还以为这里是卖汽车的呢!当年小小的我们新年的时候就在赌桌和热闹的自家亲戚中穿来穿去,听着亲戚们输掉或赢了的玩笑声,还真怀念那段日子。说起“buak giao”,故事一箩箩,有空再说,hehe。


全家在楼梯口的大合照。大家都好开心哦。

团圆饭的桌椅,见头不见尾,够长吧!

我们一家。老妈当时在忙着怕照。


我家的女将。左起为妮妮(她过三天要结婚了哦!),嘉莹,嘉微,阿圻,Nana,小婶,和我。拍照的是妈妈。这张除了我之外的大家都拍得不错,也是稀有的一张,所以我只好牺牲丑相放上来了,哈哈。


这是09年的新年拍的。屋内。


钢琴室之钢琴。中学的时候,我有本老歌歌集,老爸喜欢坐在钢琴后的沙发椅上,我弹他唱,有些他喜欢的歌,或想学的歌,我们重复了一遍又一遍。之后长大了,我们就没这样的‘活动”了,或许他觉得我大了,不喜欢这样的活动,或没空了,但其实我还蛮喜欢和怀念的。
阿圻练过它。三岁的小纲也学过。就是哥哥,家里有这么个可以玩的东西,怎么我都没见过他碰过?对咯,好像家人都不常碰。可能被妈妈说的“这是很贵的东西,不要乱乱碰”吓过吧。。。=_=


钢琴室之休息处。是中学时期和死党们的秘密基地。我们说心事的地方、滚来滚去的地方、吃喝玩乐的地方,很多事都在这里发生过。
那些床褥并不是原本在这里的,而是我出外读书后老爸整理出来给小胖读书休息的。


来我们上楼。有我们的衣橱、妈妈折衣服的地方。



婆婆、我和阿圻的房间。

以前是我和阿圻的书房。我们一起K书的地方。想起那段中六拼书的日子还真辛苦。
现在是电脑房和阿纲的书房。很乱,不好意思!


电脑房另一角。小胖曾站在洗脸盆的小椅子上看我刷牙。我发出咕噜咕噜的漱口声,然后扑嗤的吐出来,他立刻科科科科的笑个不停。


客厅。以前的新年大家 buak giao的地方。也是拜年的地方。

介绍完毕。下次来我的新家吧!

Break through the hard time

I did think of quitting. And i don't like my friends to call me a PhD or Dr, even they are only joking, for i am still very very far away from that level, and what if i am not graduating? It's a hard time.
Today i get encouraged by my respected and beloved Professor that we should give ourselves at least 6 months monkeying around the lab before any usable data can be collected. His advises and encouragement touched me. Ya, i believe that i can go through it and things will go better and better, with God's lead and help!
There are always a time that we feel that everything bad seizes us, and there's nothing on Earth worse than that; but when something good finally comes, everything will get better and better.
God, i dedicate myself to You, leaving all the sins and selfishness behind, strengthen my determination, Amen.

那天的赞美时光。。。

曾几何时唱诗敬拜的时光
竟变成了个人演唱会?
还是让人兴奋的派对?

那天的崇拜我完全不能投入敬拜
类似 rap 的东西
怪怪的chord
像周杰伦的歌的节奏
好象唱歌只为了跟得上很炫的节奏
还有出现了那种明星唱歌的身体动作

时代不一样了
一切都要快要炫
如果诗歌也一直变变变成流行歌、rap的东西
我宁愿唱回圣诗
庄严、有意义

敬拜是敬拜上帝
不是做明星

My life recently ~~

A few weeks ago me and my old friends had a journey to Seremban-Melacca-Johor-Singapore-Johor-Melacca-Seremban. Happy to meet them!





Oh ya one more week back my sister and her friend came from Seremban visited me and had a stay here. We went to the Mines, Sunway Pyramid, Kajang Satay and Putrajaya, where Keh Li (she is a wonderful friend haha) guided almost all the time. Have a nice time as well.

These few months i found nice friends (both new and old friends) and thanks them very much for accompanying me through my boring postgraduate life.

And i am going 2 churches alternately. I like both.
Long for going to Christian fellowship (not just sunday worship), any youth's Christian fellowship will do, cause i need spiritual feeds. Recently got lots of activities but spiritually i am rather empty. Do need churchmates to share and support each other.

Many friends are moving back to Sarawak, while some others are moving here from Sarawak. People come and people go, we share and we let go, the important thing is what legacy we left for our friends.

Last week my previous churchmates Yan Ying and Ma Li came and we went to Balakong Jusco. Had a nice time chatting. We went into the wrong way in the way back and accidentally go to kajang and thus having kajang satay there. Thanks To Keh Li again who always bring me here and there and thus i know how to drive to these places!

Last saturday i fetched Ling Shuang and her friend who came from Johore and we almost get cheated by a liar. I always tease those aunties (of course in my heart only lah) for getting cheated and giving money so easily to the liars, but now, even we are already postgraduates, still almost get cheated, haha!

Yesterday i and Yieng Ing went for the Bookfair at The Mines. Initially i met the four chinese classics (三国演义、西游记、水浒传、红楼梦) which collectively only cost RM99!!! Ouw i was so happy to saw this but i kept considering whether to buy or not because if i am buying i will lost a big purple paper! And also my concern is whether i will complete reading those books. And at last i decided not to buy.. maybe.. next time? Instead Yeing Ing who initially didin't have interest with the chinese classic, bought 三十六计. We also bought some Enligh books.. i had two books of The Chronicles of Narnia with me now. (Oh ya, mum, Chee and Cheng, when you buy any books, please keep the receipt because these can be used to reduce baba's income tax oh.. i just knew that yesterday from my friend.. so please keep the receipts loh =))
We had dinner at Carl's Junior. Then i saved some movies from Yieng Ing and had a nice time chatting.

Erm.. thats my recent life. I also miss my family and my old house at Sarikei. Wish to go back to kacau kueh ah kang (ah kang please quit internet gaming!), and stay at the old house for one more time.. haha. And i dreamt of my family also, the person i remembered the clearest after my dream is grandma, thus a few days after that i phoned her (and her birthday is around these few days).

I need to write in English because recently i dont have internet at my house, and when using the computer and internet in UPM, there's no chinese function... so for such a long time i cant blog :(
When i have internet back, will update the stories in chinese as i like!!
Wait for the next chinese story-telling time ya! Haha

他的血。多么宝贵的礼物

千多年前
他的手他的脚被钉
生命
一滴一滴
流失
他以人的感官
承受人难以忍受的痛苦
他以神的慈悲
饶恕人加以莫须有的罪

然而经过千年时光的飘逝
那徜流的血
那受屈辱的痛
那留钉痕的双手
那伤痕累累的躯体
那高深莫测的爱
似乎那么



直到那一晚
握着给我的
象征流着他宝血的铁钉
只有感动及愧疚
那流着的宝血
其中一份是为我流
那所受的痛苦
其中是赎我的代价

感谢耶稣
你一切的牺牲
给了我们多么宝贵的礼物

记忆里的那首歌

无意间溜到一个朋友的部落格。依然没更新,但却听到了一首勾起回忆的歌,好有感觉。
新年回家清理自己的东西时,把好一些留了很久的东西都丢了,有的有十多年了(啊,原来我也可以用十年的数量词了,真是。。。时光不留人啊!),终于,还是丢掉了。
有些东西,漂亮的,留下了一些些,包括一个卡带(卡带的年代。。。也好久了哦!)。卡带里,就有那首歌,好有感觉的歌。

P/S 1:主题是什么?我也不懂。只是想说,突然间好怀念那首歌哦!
P/S 2:你!就是你!几时要更新部落格啊?一个两个都这么懒惰,我快要闷死了!
P/S 3:哥哥,不好意思,偷你的P/S的梗来用一下。

小V的出生字

我的小V亮相啦。他已经一个多月大了。那天花花和07看到小V,说车牌好巧,刚好是阿兰的生日,哈,不说我还不知道。阿兰说我好爱她哦!开玩笑问我可不可以把号码卖给她。这个号码我也很喜欢,爸爸不是特地买的,这么巧可以买到蛮美的号码,谢谢爸爸!当然不要卖咯,blek!


刚买的几个星期,新年前,后面的车牌掉了,向代理反映了两三个星期他们才弄回一个新的。新年后,前面的车牌也掉了,还好这次我立刻看到,拾回来,自己用双面胶粘了回去。(子丰说他要买字哦,买了没?哈哈)
小V,我开始习惯和喜欢你了。

莎士比亚大人,请问您在说什么?

Life's Brief Candle

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The ways to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more; it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Author: William Shakespeare in 《Macbeth》

上星期帮朋友为中一英文补习班代课,认识到中一第一首英文文学课的诗。作者是莎士比亚,此著是他Macbeth戏剧里的其中一首诗。
整首诗不懂你看懂了多少。
我查了很多遍的字典。不要说中学一年级生,我大学五年级了还不是很懂。生字多不是大问题,但那种抽象的比喻要中一生怎样理解啊?
学生问,生活怎样像一个影子?什么"生活像一个演员"?(莎士比亚大人,我可以有异议吗?应该是生活着的人们像演员吧!生活,要怎样比喻成演员呢?)
句子中有很多的复句(很多个单句组合而成的句子),也是很难解释的一个因素。

“And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The ways to dusty death.”
学生也很难理解 lighted = 指示 的隐义吧!
dusty death 呢?像灰尘般的死亡?布满灰尘的死亡?灰飞烟灭的死亡?死了就空无一物的死亡? =_=

他们一个个在神游。要解释个字的意思,再解释隐义、抽象的字,再把每个生字和隐义字组合起来,再分析抽象的比喻,成为有意义的句子,好像不可能了。对past tense和present tense都不懂的中一生。更别说要他们赏析诗章了,可以明白诗的大纲就很好了。
再一次要说,生字多不是问题,但抽象思考的程度请符合学子的年龄,好吗?
那些决定教材的教育部官员们,你们来做老师解释给他们听,怎样?
