@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Welcome! 欢迎!@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

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!

小人物小故事

富都巴士总站里。来来往往的人流,密密麻麻的档口,不同的人卖着几近一样的东西。有一个中年华裔的档口,被夹在六个马来妇女的档口间。但对于匆匆经过的旅客,他们只看到一档又一档卖着同样东西的档口,谁也没有留意到这细微的不同。一个马来售票经纪,在他的档口买了一瓶水;而后一个马来青年,买了一盒烟;而后一个女保安,买了一包零食。

为什么他们没有选择其他的档口呢?六档里的其中一档?不是种族,不是性别,不是运气,是他的努力。其他档主有的选择发呆,有的选择自忙自的;只有他,也只有他,挂着一幅笑脸半坐在椅子上朝两边来往的人群打招呼。或许,顾客买的不只是货物,他卖的也不仅是货物。只是如果笑一百次才额外收获一单生意,你会否会费心去做?一整天的脸部疲劳,如果只赚多十元,你又是否会去做?

这故事能带来什么启示?我也不太懂。这不过是城市生活里某个角落某个小人物的生活的某段。之所以被我察觉到了,并不是因为我觉得具有深刻的启示,而是因为在总站里等朋友等了一个小时半没有事情做,周遭又没有好看的女生,所以就这样了。
