Solstice


如果不是同事们都准备回家做‘大日子’,我还真的不晓得今天是冬至。知道后,还真的有种’今昔是何年’的感觉。坦白说,我还是对什么时候是公假来的更有兴趣。嘻嘻。。。

回家路上,妈来电。

妈:“有吃汤圆吗?”

我:“没有。我不知道今天是冬至呢!”

妈:“去买回家自己煮一点啊! 冬大过年。吃了汤圆就大一岁了。哈哈。。。”

还记得小时候妈在冬至做大日子的情景,还有我们几个瓜玩/搓汤圆的时候。我和妹最喜欢将不同颜色的糯米团搓成五颜六色、大大小小的汤圆。看着一粒粒的汤圆在沸水中滚烫着,还真有种莫名的成就感呢!

有的没的跟妈聊了一下,没多久,就到家了。

没有汤圆的冬至也没什么的,反正不用’大一岁‘。哈哈。。。又赚到一年了!

冬至快乐。

Hand In My Pocket


那天在MixFM 听到这首歌。上网查了一下。
疯这首歌的那年,是1995年。

14 年前的事。

I care but I'm restless
I'm here but I'm really gone


很 folky blues 的一首歌,和大家一起分享。

I'm broke but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind
I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah
I'm high but I'm grounded
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby
What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine
'cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five
I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired but I'm working, yeah
I care but I'm restless
I'm here but I'm really gone
I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby

What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be quite alright
'cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flicking a cigarette
And what it all comes down to
Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet
'cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving the peace sign
I'm free but I'm focused
I'm green but I'm wise
I'm hard but I'm friendly baby
I'm sad but I'm laughing
I'm brave but I'm chickenshit
I'm sick but I'm pretty baby

And what it all boils down to
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
'cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playing the piano
And what it all comes down to my friends
Is that everything's just fine fine fine
'cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxi cab

Pray


Don't pray for an easy life;

Pray to be a strong person.

...and I am getting stronger and stronger,

each day.

Jatuh?Lompat? Ditolak?


多年前,他从扣留所出来的时候,一边眼睛明显被打伤。
他们说,是他自己弄伤的。

多年以后,一名大好青年离奇坠楼身亡。
他们说,谁知道他会跑去跳楼。

跑新闻跑到最‘前锋’的马来报新闻标题:Jatuh atau lompat?
为什么不写 ditolak?

后来那个“雪州不懂反什么反出人命的局”的主席说,“雪州不懂反什么反出人命的局”不会对这起身亡事件负责。

然后有几条水跑出来说:“警方会以十分专业、透明手法进行调查。调查工作必须在不受任何势力干扰下,公开並公正的进行。”

“我们只要真相,也要为赵明福家人討回公道;我对赵明福坠楼死亡感到很伤心,希望执法单位能公正的履行职务,不受任何因素影响。”

“希望大家不要把这起事件政治化。”

我的心情,从开始的惊讶,悲伤,到现在的悲愤。赵明福就是大马民主人权纪录最好的KPI。

至于那些花圈,还是留给‘你们’自己用吧!

You are playing with fire!


Perhaps, the above mentioned title is the last thing one may want to hear from others, at least the last thing you want to hear from your head of department.

So this is what my immediate was telling us before the meeting:

Try to use all the possitive words when you are talking to him. The moment he increases his volume, you should stop talking and listen to him. If he starts to scold you, you just keep quite, let him scold.

"You are playing with fire!" ,said my Head of Department.

He said this to me, in front of the rest of the team, right after 1 to 2 minutes after i started the opening of my campaigns performance review, way before the actual performance were shared.

You should look at your own face after I showed you the forecast result until the end of this year.

Next time you want to scold me again, scold me with facts and figures. Don't fire me just because you can, or you want to.

Departures


耀眼的阳光,西下过后,又可以怎样?
喧哗的红地毯,人群散落后,还可以怎样?
胜利的欢呼后,剩下了什么?
狂欢过后,你又拥有了什么?

最后的最后,谁又能带走云彩?

死亡,只是生命的另一个阶段的另一个起点。

Always By Your Side


My yesterdays are all boxed up and neatly put away
But every now and then you come to mind
Cause you were always waiting to be picked to play the game
But when your name was called, you found a place to hide
When you knew that I was always on your side

Well everything was easy then, so sweet and innocent
My demons and my angels reappear
Leavin' only traces of the man you thought I'd be
Too afraid to hear the words I always feared
Leavin' you with only questions all these years

But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear
Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear
Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternally
This isn't how it's really meant to be
No it isn't how it's really meant to be

Well they say that love is in the air, never is it clear,
How to pull it close and make it stay
Butterflies are free to fly, and so they fly away
And I'm left to carry on and wonder why
Even through it all, I'm always on your side

But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear
Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear
Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternally
This isn't how it's really meant to be
No it isn't how it's really meant to be

Well they say that love is in the air, never is it clear
How to pull it close and make it stay
Butterflies are free to fly, why do they fly away
Leavin' me to carry on and wonder why
Was it you that kept me wondering through this life
When you know that I was always on your side

给爸爸


那年3月28日,我觉得你接受了一项很吃亏的任务
这项任务 24/7 随时standby 没有年假 没有bonus 最重要的是 没有工资
我也无视法律的程序 劳工法令的条款
在没有给你签下offer letter 的情况下
硬硬要你接下这个工作 - 我的父亲

小时候我总觉得你是一个很厉害的人
你总会读很多我不懂的生字
你知道所有数学题的答案
你知道戏里头的鬼是假的
你甚至知道那个看起来很好人的圣诞老人是人扮的
最重要的是 你养活了一只经常生病的病猫(本人)

后来长大了
我慢慢的发觉你也并不是那么得厉害
曾经有一段日子 我会因为家里的欠缺而把责任推在你的身上
却没有一丝的体谅
渐渐地 你老了
是的 你累了
没想到你休息的那天 竟然是你咽下最后一口气的时候

而我
却不曾让你知道
不曾亲口告诉你
爸 我爱你

虽然你离开了
但很多时候 我都感觉到你的存在

二姐的婚宴 you were there
我在台上表演 you were there
you were there我的毕业典礼
我上班的第一天 you were there
you were there 那次很重要的 presentation
我和妈到上海 you were there
you were there 妹上大学的那天

还有 you will be there
每年的团圆饭

我不晓得我是否让你感到骄傲
但我会因为是你的儿子 而感到自豪

爸, 父亲节快乐。

Fit In VS Stands Out


Why keep pushing yourself to fit in, if you are born to stand out?

我的 Office 里有很多东西吃


是的,the above title refers. 我的办公室里有很多东西吃,比方说,死猫s。

总是觉得我部门的管理层很体恤我们一班exec,知道我们常常要劳碌奔波,怕我们会体力不支所以常常把很多的死猫s 送给我们吃。 我们一众exec 都把死猫s 吃得津津有味。

就好比我,这几天就吃了不少死猫s。

死猫吃多了,把肚子撑得胀胀的,影响了呼吸系统,变成了一种疾病,临床医学称作“堵烂肾上腺素上涨发懒渣虚火上升顶住条气综合征”。此症无药可救,但通常在一/两 天 MC 或 Annual Leave 后自行痊愈。

除了死猫,我的部门也有很多‘大闸蟹’任君享用。大老板常常一句 “I Don't Care. You die die also have to do it for me。”大意是,“我不管,你死都要做给我。”君不知有多少exec 就被压死在此‘大闸蟹’低下。

下次想要吃免费餐?Just let me know ya. :-)

颓废的乐观主义者


今天,我是一个89.7% 颓废的乐观主义者。
。。。还是‘出走后遗症’。。。

关于这一次的出走


是的,5天的出走,使我变成了一个不折不扣地反对企业资本主义者。我狭义的认为,资本企业个削夺了个人生活的策划和主控权; 资本主义更让现代人坠落在无止境的消费漩涡里,企图通过消费来达到自我成就感及自我肯定;现代人更忘了如何经营自己的生活,永远活着偿还银行债务的日子。

E 也有着相同的看法。 不同的是,他选择了较奢侈的方法- 不断地通过旅游来麻醉自己,他说的。

写着这个post 的当儿,我正在经历着所谓的‘出走后遗症’。

Ladies and gentlemen,we had just landed successfully on LCCT, Kuala Lumpur. The local time is 6.12pm and the temperature is 34'C...

Welcome back to the reality.

飞机降落的时候,我的心还留在这个岛屿。或许我应该说,我根本就没有想过要把我的心带回来马来西亚。

朋友说,让这次的旅程留下少少的遗憾,那么我们就有理由再次旧地重游。可是,对我而言,没有一趟旅程是完美无缺的。也就是因为它的不完美,才让每一趟旅程都那么的独一无二,那么的令人回味。

所以,我会尽可能的记住旅途上的点点滴滴,特别是每一次吃吃的笑声。

一个伟大爪哇祭司被迫将自己放荡的儿子驱逐到爪哇岛的东端,接着,用手仗在沙地上画出了相隔的水路。多年以后5月的第一天,一行人来到了这个岛屿,留下了甜美的回忆,还有,很多很多的笑声。

幸福缺席的地方



有什么地方是佛菩萨到不了的吗?
有什么地方是被上帝遗忘的吗?

看完了这个短片,答案是,“有的。”

那是一个幸福缺席的地方。

笑话一则



星期一到了……小英在交完作业後,中午马上被老师叫去罚站,附加念500遍「我以後不敢编谎话欺骗老师了」。
why?何这名老师要残忍的对待这名柔弱的小学生?我们来瞧瞧她的作文是怎麽写的……
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

星期日今天是礼拜日,虽然昨天去海洋公园玩到晚上11:00多,可是今天我们起了个大早,就到海洋公园旁边的太平山去摘水果,因为奶奶跟爷爷就住在太平山。我们到了太平山下後,就鞋子脱了开始爬山,大约1分钟就到山顶了。山顶上的空气很好,爷爷带我们去他的果园。
哇……爷爷的果园好大,种了好多果树,有西瓜树、草莓树、菠萝树……因为我太小了爬不上树,爷爷就爬上西瓜树,摘了一颗最大的西瓜丢给爸爸,爸爸用一只手就接起来了!果园还有很多长在地上的水果,像苹果、梨子、椰子等等……爷爷摘了一些椰子,用手把椰子皮剥掉,去籽,然後分给每个人吃。椰子好好吃喔!我吃了20几个。表弟还拿椰子丢我的脸,痛死了!
吃完了水果大餐,我们到太平山旁边的喜玛拉雅山去玩,听老师说喜玛拉雅山是世界上最高的山。果然老师没有骗我们,我跟表弟爬呀爬,大概爬了2分钟才到山顶,我热死了。後来我们还是觉得很热,就到山顶泡温泉。好冰凉的温泉哦~喜玛拉雅山真是个好地方。後来表弟问我有没有钱,他看到山顶附近有卖麦当劳。死表弟,每次都跟我借钱!
我们还在买的时候,听到妈妈在太平山那里喊我们回家,只好依依不舍的走了太平山跟喜玛拉雅山真是个好玩的地方,我以後还要叫爸爸、妈妈带我们来玩。爸爸说如果这次考试,我第一名,这个星期日,他还要带我去东京、北京、南京去玩,我最想去西京,因为我表妹就住在西京。
她说其实课本是骗人的,西京有比喜玛拉雅山更高的山,大概要爬3分钟,上面还有很大的夜市跟儿童乐园,还有清澈的小溪。我一定要好好用功然後叫爸爸带我去这些地方玩。━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

2009 。快。乐。2009


我在想,这个世界上有没有什么学会或团体的成立,目的是为了更美好的明天?


他们会为人们带来希望。
他们会为社会带来和平。
他们会为人类带来快乐。


2009 年,我们迫切地需要这类型的学会/团体。

愿这世界如童话
抱着想像实现它
就凭摘星的手臂 为地球每夜放烟花
就算世界无童话
下包袱完成它
就来学攀山者有心不会怕 --- 就算世界无童话 - 卫兰

2009 年 的第十一天,祝你新年快乐。
