来到另一个海边

绕了半个槟岛,来到另一个海边。
吹着海风的当儿,吃着美味的香蕉糕,幸福得可以飞起来。
一定是前世曾经煮过东西请K.k. Lok吃,所以这一世可以那么轻而易举的又吃又参观老味道的房子。好久都没有看过打洋灰的地板了。
谢谢呵。
回家路程看着刚从工厂里五点放工取车的人。
我想起当年我多么努力的工作,也多么努力的坚持不要马上一工作就买车,情愿驾摩哆,偶尔下雨天就向好心的同事求救。
也想起当年五点放工就不自在得好像在做错事。那个年代没有手提电脑,查电邮是要回工厂。
那个是话当年,其实只有浅浅的回忆。
当年的坚持,其实只是在铺着朝向简单生活的路走。但是那时并不懂怎么告诉身边的人,我的坚持其实不像坚持,像一个选择多一点。
有人说脱俗,其实和懒惰也很相似。
我的幸福,建立在简单和朴实,但是也可以和邋遢和懒惰相提并论。
多年后有人问起为什么可以放弃那么多时,其实真的很惭愧,也不曾拥有什么。
这样子下去,其实国家破产的话,我想不用移民我大概还可以靠物物交换过活吧。

《阿Q记》


从中学开始看周星驰时,就有感觉到自己有潜质当无厘头导演。
虽然明明到现在都听不懂粤语,但是就是会收藏周星驰的戏。
也总是觉得自己不执导无厘头浪漫喜剧是有点浪费。
不过也有点像某朋友说的,自我感觉良好很强。
这幕浪漫剧情,不懂有缘搬上银幕让后人发挥吗?
话说,买了耳烛想让自己放松一下,一开始就把爸爸拿来当白老鼠试一试。谁知道我爸爸用到不耐烦了,一直喊停。原来我烧错方式了。没有让蜡烛燃上火。
几天后,我的老板头痛。我想也是可以浪漫一下,耳烛一下也应该不错。有了上回的经验,就知道耳烛要点上火把。只是人算不如天算,火把会烧过火。烧得旺的蜡烛也会掉下来。可怜的老板的颈项就这样给烫伤了。其实我是很内疚的。可是,望一望两道伤疤,又觉得应该把它当是爱痕才对。所以,就一面看一面狂笑了。

Should i install standing fan at home?

When kids were toddler,for safety reason i insisted on installing ceiling fans and there were several voices who told me ceiling fans were dangerous coz they would fall down.
In my limited life time, i have witnessed 2 occasions of standing fan accidents, one when i was 10 yo and the table fan had a short circuit where it nearly burnt down the whole room, another occasion was this one. See this for your self, the standing fan actually had broken into 2 parts right in front of my eyes. Luckily there was no short circuit.
In my limited life time too, of the 3 schools that i studied and the 4 schools that i taught, i have yet to witness a ceiling fan fell down knocking on anyone. Think of this, that the ceiling fans in school were supposed to be workhouse that work all day through at the maximum speed.
With CNY coming, if u r thinking of getting a brand new standing/table fan, think twice. Getting an eletrician to drill hole to install ceiling fan may seem troublesome, but in the long run, it's still the safest thing at home.
Let's take a look at the broken parts of the standing fan:

绝对绝对绝对

老板的桌上放了根塑胶圈。
一转眼,就变了个样。老板要发飙了。好好的桌子,被人用永久马克笔涂鸦。一定要找出经手人。
这里所有的人都知道我一向处事认真,绝对不会有闲情做出这种事来。
而我也很肯定。这种调皮,绝对绝对绝对不是来自我的基因。

How does karma work?

一面喝着味噌汤,妹妹不自觉的爆料。
“你有看到味噌罐里面有手指印吗?那是我用手指挖来吃的。”
妈妈超级冷静。没有发飙的迹象。反正不是什么大件事。
可是内心有股想玩弄人的调皮在叫着。
随即也来演完下半场,“你后来喝到的味噌汤有没有一点酸酸的味道?那是因为我看到有发霉的虫了,可是又舍不得丢掉,所以就勉强弄出汤来给你们喝的。味噌很贵。”
我讲完,就大拍桌子三下,哇咔咔狂笑三声,再说“The karma will fall back to you."
姐姐看不过眼了就插嘴,“你乱讲话,the karma will fall back to you."
我后来看着蒋勳的书,读着这段“艰难是一种教育,没有艰难感就没有珍惜。”我突然明白为什么我可以原谅自己有轻微的虐待狂。

保健品

去年,有家人住院了,热心的朋友送来了某燕越洋保健品。平时不挑食的家人,泡上饮料来喝。只喝一口就说她要吐了,不懂手术后是不是口味变了。
我也来试一试。天呵。是何等饮料呵?我说不上口。
后来把剩下的几包带回家,我请我家的小瓜帮忙喝。
小瓜才一口就说,这是不是药水?
对啦,就是咳嗽药水的味道。
说什么水果蔬菜。
就这样,剩余的还有一包,到现在,我连用剪刀剪开它的勇气都没有。
那个味道,还回旋在我味蕾和脑袋。
许多保健品,美其名是养生延寿,其实如果有真正的食物,还需要吗?
说是提升免疫力,拿着还有这种感觉,可能是广告台词还有产品见证很多吧,但是其实都是在安定人心,尤其是那个买的人,不是吃的人。
请不要对号入座,还是有适合‘人’食用的产品。

打鼾

凌晨的梦里,驾着相伴多年的灵鹿,在乡间小路行驶,迷路在稻田里。
和平日的路痴没有两样。也像平日的那样挂电话找老板。
老板那边厢电话接通了。
想清楚的交代路上有什么特别标志,却一而再,再而三的,老板一说话,就有轰隆轰隆的杂声。
我开始不耐烦了。
死鬼电话,搞什么鬼那么不中用,那么吵。
噢,不是,好像不是电话,是我的老爷车,我只要一说话,就轰隆轰隆的响。
我越讲,就越吵。
后来就气到醒了起来。
可是怎么醒来的房间里还是有轰隆轰隆的声响?
---- 天啊,不得了,既然是老板的打鼾声。
这打鼾声,既然那么犀利,可以跑到我梦里化成其他可恶的声音。。
不了,不要笑他了。
当初老板就是这样,整天讲怕和有打鼾的人一起睡,结果现在轮到自己打鼾时,连自己都听不到。
这是现眼报。
所以,我当然不敢笑他,不然改天变成我是那个打鼾的就真要打自己的嘴了。
梁文福说,“世人都晓神仙好,唯有金银忘不了。”
针对这起事,只能说是,“世人都晓打鼾吵,唯有自己听不到。”
不过,倒是想听听那个懂得解梦的大大,有何看法。

My first bookbinding experience

My first bookbinding started out to be japanese stab binding.
It was simple but it took a clumsy me some 2 hours to finish 2 books and 2 types of basic japanese stab binding.
Too bad during that time i didnt snapshot the books and i passed it to the girls to use it as scrapbook soon after.
But bookbinding has since continued to fluorish as another of my passionate items in line.
Gees......say me, i always end up with countless things to fall for.
But particularly bookbinding, is a rather experience one.

Kiddo patriotic

Asked her to choose the cute flag erasers. She asked got Malaysia flag or not. I said no. Coz these are printed in the overseas. Then she replied 'then i dont want the erasers.'
Call it patriotic for young kiddos? 
---- and to those who always think some people aren't Malaysian enough to call this a home, please refer your statement to a kid. Only the purest mind will give the best answer.

Blessing before sleep

Before slept, they spotted a lizard in the room.
Biggie was terrified. She asked smallie to get rid of it.
Smallie agreed by chasing it with the broom. Eventually the insect freed.
Came dedication and blessing before sleep.
I recited the usual "May i be well and happy. May my daddy and mummy be well and happy. May the Buddha Dhamma and Sangha blessed me with peace and happiness....."
Before i finished the verse, smallie chipped in with this "May the lizard come back to find JE."
What a cheeky bun!
