声色赶来交朋友
今朝有乐不堪等
明日太远望不见
夜晚宿醉好入梦
梦散酒醒还有夜
船柁在手数十年
风浪已成老相识
现时苦乐看朦胧
安枕无忧享清福
人生好比一场梦
梦好梦坏总得醒
近视,多为青年人所患;
远视,多为老年人所有。
Welcome to my virtual home. This is a little private space for me to put my thoughts and share my feelings since 2005. Due to my wide range of interests, there are perhaps too many tags. I would explain some of the less obvious tags:
"About Life" is really about how I have been pondering about life and what enlightenments and paradigm shifts I had experienced.
"About Psi" contains most topics about happiness, optimism vs pessimism,
confidence, comparison, pride and prejudice and other psychological aspects.
"About Logical Thinking" is about my own way of interpretating and explaining
certain issues, aiming to debunk (or create?) superficialness of them.
"About Ideology" is about my thoughts on big concepts like freedom, justice,
fairness in society and religion.
"About Society" is more about my observations about the society, often through interactions with different peoples.
"My Country" reveals my frustration, critics and hope
on my homeland - Malaysia.
"My Little Pieces" has more short posts though mostly are written in Mandarin.
While I do have some posts on book reviews and business, I am planning to
separate them into author-specific and content-specific blogs. Stay tuned.
Enjoy your reading!

听鸟声吱吱,细腻软耳;听雨声滴滴,绵密清心。让发下空空,任思绪悠悠,慵慵懒懒躺床上,迷迷糊糊进梦中。

日前陪母亲去处理公积金的提款申请,柜台服务的马来大姐实在给人留下太深的印象。
“Auntie, ada bawa bou zai (簿仔)?”
“yau sau (右手) tekan”
“Auntie, tangan mahu fong song (放松)”
连发音都丝毫误差,实在“无得弹”,于是投桃报李地赞一个:“Kak pandai bercakap!”美丽的花朵在她的脸上缓缓绽开。
赞,不是因为她是马来人去学粤语,挑起了民族自豪的神经;而是欣喜公务员提高效率,体贴民众。
此种人不可多得,赞要赞出口,而后也值得为文再赞,以示支持。

父亲突提一事,因日前与母亲常奔波少在家,怕别人联络不到,向姐姐拿我托她保管的手提号码,未料姐姐开口第一句就提及重新激活户口的五元。于是父亲暗怒,虽没发作,事完后心中雄火却自个儿烧得通天。养育的百万不计,只为区区五元。旁观火尽烟散后,心中只剩苍凉;连亲姐姐都要防,呼声尽是叹息。我懂得,这不是年轻的叛逆,这不是愚昧的直觉,这是无情的冷。骤然间,我的天空乌云密布,紧接雷雨轰轰,冷风嗖嗖。
雨渐小,向母亲求证。事情确是有,但描述得很轻淡。我直觉地讯问母亲为何不生气,她只说:“生她养她还不知道她性格?改也改不了,生气有何用?徒增悲伤。”我释然,犹如感到一股清新的风,把心中的烟雾吹尽。这不是无益的哀愁,不是简单的心死,而是伟大的包容,厚软的白云。尽管我还是有点不解,我户口有百多块,姐姐平时也有用,何需再激活,激活的五元何来?真是令人疑惑的五元。
一日后拿回号码,打了一通电话,惊觉户口只剩二十余块。向姐姐提起,只听她微笑道:“聊下聊下不知不觉就这样了。”,哭笑不得,只有略微调侃后离去。又不见你用自己的号码聊得那么不知不觉,唉声一出,心里多了一个“服”字。“有入没出”,母亲真是概括得十分精确,于是五元的谜题也解。
想起姐姐曾经调侃我吝啬,现在才觉得一点道理都没有。我的吝啬是对自己的,她的吝啬是对别人的。父亲的阳刚,我不学了;姐姐的精明,我也不学了,我要学的,是母亲的智慧。

所谓“天生我才必有用”,每个人都有自己的特色,只要不是大奸大恶,或小人小虫,大抵都是可爱的。是以职业无分贵贱,种族无分优劣。任何崇尚民族优越论的都应被掷石至死。噢,抱歉,太不民主人道了,是电击至死。每个人,每个种族,以至每种习俗语言文化,只要有其特色,就能合理地存在,就有存在的价值。但也因各有各的特色,所以我们很容易先入为主,以自己的标准否定他人存在的合理,以自己的特色衡量他人的特色,不但欣赏不到位,还会产生鄙视的情怀,真是可惜。
一如语言。叫今人念古人的“之者乎也”,酸溜;叫古人听今人的“的地得了”,头晕。叫老外听北方人又卷又翘的话,混成一团,听南方人入声韵尾的调,鸟语一堆。哪怕同一语言,十里变音,大家也未必听得顺耳。香港人自觉当地粤语正统好听,在广州某些省城可是不堪入耳的歪音。把四川的“川”念成“泉”,大概也只有成都人自己能欣赏。新加坡的语言大杂烩-英语、华语、马来话、福建话、各地方言,我听得总觉奇怪,但这就是地道特色。马来西亚的广东话,因早期移民粤客相掺,受不少客家话影响,例如把“落雨”说成“落水”,若你嫌我语意不清,不知人落水还是落水狗,我反还觉得“落雨”太文雅呢!说“茶雪”就是怡保人,说“雪茶”就是吉隆坡人,就这么简单,要混着说蒙骗身份也可以,就是别抹煞我的特色。大家各有各讲,各得其乐。为外人所取笑或被自己人调侃的,即为特色。
二如风土。每个城市都有自己的开埠史,有的历史悠久,有的新近开辟。在开埠不过百年的城镇找沉淀的历史韵味,无理;在与世隔绝的乡野找交汇的东西荟萃,不通。怪就怪在风土不如语言,出奇地不为自己人所珍惜看重,外国的月亮总是较圆一些。难得先入为主被抛弃一回,大家也就乐于用他人的特色衡量自己的特色。大抵猜想自己住得久了,没什么特别,认不出特色。于是旅游一词,是专给国外的,若自己国家还算大,那就是给城外的,绝没有在自己生长的地方旅游的。居民和游客,外延绝无重叠。诚然居民对城市的各处历史文化的所知比认真的游客还差。大概此类人,即便出到国外旅游,也不过慕名观赏,走马看花,留个脚印,拍张照片而已。其实小山有小山的秀,名山有名山的灵。不识小山之秀,焉辨名山之灵;没有了比较和参照,各种风土文化不同的细微和奇妙之处,也就无法体会。无法体会细微奇妙之处,则小山名山皆同,能登能爬能上能下,如是而已。
与他人不同的,才叫特色。不认识不同之处,他人的特色从何谈起?自己的特色又在哪里?不珍自家玉,难识他家宝。

每逢周末的休息日,总有一班人成群结党冲上云顶,赢了大鱼大肉,输了下周重返。实际上不论赢输下周重返是必定的,那是大家挥金散银的约定。这就是人到中年。奔波一周,所为何事,劳碌半生,志在何方。人生苦短,不花天酒地对不起时间,不声色犬马对不起自己。购物,或只为几张收据;旅游,或只为几张照片。他们立志逍遥,只可怜我暂时还找不到方向。大概日后应该竭尽所能赚钱,然后发挥一下创意,开马场、狗场、鸡场、鸭场,集四为一,取名四畜乐园,定能造福大众,让他们找到人生方向,享尽人生乐趣。若能成事,己立志,助人立志,功德不可谓不大。我确实应该好好考虑一下。

心吸一阵沉痛,唇呼一团长气,眼帘一群散云。我把心情托给天,天晓得我的郁闷。难解自卑感。若那距离像我与天之间,只直望已让我低头闭目。哪来通云梯?那天上的云,云间的蓝,蓝色的美,远得那么缥缈,永远。

不盲目跟随,只理智敬佩 - 他人
不虚狂自转,不卑微公转 - 自己
做个独立的人,物质上,精神上。独立不是隔绝,独立与傀儡一样有躯体,一样与四周连成千丝万缕,不同的是傀儡少了灵活的头脑,完全受制于线条,不能拉扯收放。
妒忌之心人皆有,能疏能转不能绝。无妒有,少妒多,低妒高,丑妒美,穷妒富,庸妒能,人鲜有不妒他人,轻为羡,重为恨。对于别人的不满,源于对现状的不满,对自己的不满,源于欲望。空妒无益,没改变环境,没改善自己,妒因仍在,循环往复,徒伤神劳心。若能改变改善,转妒嫉为奋斗,化欲为进步,必有一日可成。若不能,疏妒嫉,减欲望,也可自得其乐,过个快乐人生。
寂寞如蔓草,无论地势高低平坦凹凸皆能蔓延,也不会因多了篱笆而停止蔓延。曲高者和寡,高处不胜寒;曲低者心空,难耐无烦嚣。既使知己相伴,也因离散生忧。天下无不散之筵席,有不完之离愁,仅一离字,牵出古今中外多少愁,皆因寂寞。人不能独居,因而生寂寞。寂寞,实是人生首个朋友,终生不离不弃。漠视它、害怕它、抛弃它都徒劳,认识它、接受它、欣赏他才明智。能和它做朋友的人,不愁和其他人做不成朋友。能享受寂寞的人,会享受热闹;能享受热闹的人,未必会享受寂寞。

Today is last day of internship. After returning all the stuffs, my mood is as shiny as the sunrays through the glass, my body is as light as louds beside the sun. 2 hours more, and that's the end of 5 month. This period has been a fruitful lesson and experience for me. It's as sweet as desserts that me and my colleagues eat during lunchtime, when I was praised for good work and quick hand, once for each. It's as spicy as the fish beehoon soup added with cili padi, sweats a lot and gets nervous when I spoilt caps, chips and power supply, and rushing for reports and logbooks.
Time flies. I woke up 5:30am and cook maggie mee for the first day, and delayed 10 minutes per day until optimum wake up time: 6:30am. That was about in the 2nd or 3rd week. Morning - sunrise - rain - bus - mrt - my paper - bun - bus - company - online - nap - lunch - slack - work - high tea - work - stay - collapse. Everything was becoming regular and scheduled, my body had automatically adjusted the biological clock accordingly.
Schedule was regular but things observed varied over period. Different employees with different work natures, different times to start work and leave company, different behaviours and working attitudes, different smiles and faces. Time was relative too, passed quickly when worked with concentration, crawled slowly when supervisor was not around and work has not been given.
I should feel very glad that I had a nice manager who always wears smile, a supervisor who always gives words of encouragement though he's too busy, a knowledgeable and helpful friend, a kind and intelligent senior colleague and other colleagues. I should feel glad that I was allocated at a quiet corner where I could do anything I wish without being observed by others. I should feel glad that I entered a company that provide computer and internet to employees, as I could always online. A quite relaxing environment, best for slacking! :) Too bad from another angle. I was just an average IA student, if I were to evaluate myself.
Now I go, here it stays.

前几天,在平静的雨夜吹熄了几根蜡烛。吹熄的前一刻,合眼的瞬间,帘入了温馨的烛光。开心的、郁闷的、微笑的、哭泣的、愤怒的、怨恨的,尽数从口中呼出;往逝的365天,随着淡灰的烛烟飘远,所有的得与失归零。
谢谢朋友的所有祝福,愿你们也一样愉快。若果有对不起的,让人不愉快的,希望你们会一笑置之。我不太会维系友谊,但愿还值得你们的珍惜,而我也一样会珍惜你们。
年岁一次一次增加,责任一担一担加重,力量一点一点累积,暂且徘徊一下,然后继续迈步前进。希望前方的阳光,让我有新的勇气踏出旧错的泥潭;希望迎面的微风,让我有好的心情舍弃曾有的不解。就这样在风云莫测的未来,继续高唱自己的心曲,幻变出真我的色彩。
但愿在新的一年里,心中不会燃起一刻的怨恨,而我会像流水般,静静地流过平地草原,缓缓地流过高山低谷,清清地反照生活的光彩。
