开车乌龙事

开车的两周,有很多乌龙事。一再地印证,我真的很健忘很blur……



乌龙事一

误转入单行道,反方向行驶!


乌龙事二

停了车就走,完全忘记锁车门!


乌龙事三

要靠路边停,竟然不小心撞上路堤,刮伤了车子……


乌龙事四

晚上开车,忘记开车头灯!@@


乌龙事五

摆放三张停车固本,其中就有两张撕错了时间。应该撕PM的,却撕了AM。


乌龙事六

我决定破例把车子停在两辆车子之间。好不容易成功停进去,才发现那不是一个停车位,上面漆着红色的“NO PARKING”!!


乌龙事七

开了车窗忘了关,直到感觉有点热……



我希望不要再发生乌龙的事了!

有车 万事“达”

(这是我的车子两个星期大的样子,她刚刚洗了第一次澡。 :P)


我从小就喜欢车子。

一般小女生都是玩芭比娃娃,而我却喜欢玩lego积木和玩具车。

在新加坡,车子绝对是奢侈品,拥车必须付出不小的代价。但我还是没有放弃这个梦想。

开始有收入时,我就去考驾照,第二次就考到了。但我并没有离梦想近一些,因为理性告诉我,以那个时候的薪水,拥车将是个沉重的负担。所以我将拥车的目标年龄一年一年地延后,耐心等待薪水增加、荷包长大。

终于,近年的拥车证价格下降不少,新车售价也降到低点,更令我蠢蠢欲动。

6月1日,我订下生平第一辆车。而且还是我喜欢的Madza。

两个星期后,拥车证标到了。

不愿意跟新加坡中央医院有任何关系,所以我拒绝SGH的车牌,就要等待注册SGJ的车牌。

终于……7月6日,我的车子注册了。

7月7日,7点半终于看到了我的车子……蓝色小车。弟弟第一句话却是:“为什么不买黑色的?这个蓝色看起来有点……。”我忘了他说什么,反正他不太喜欢那个颜色。不过,只要我喜欢就行了!

有了车子……我觉得比较开心点了。

岁月的酒

















照片中的女人叫曾淑勤。 3月1日在《弹唱人》表演。

那晚替她伴奏的一个失明民歌手吴锦发是陈伟联的师兄,应该跟我差不多年纪。
曾淑勤赞他对她的歌很熟悉,他说:“我是听你的歌长大的。”惹得她佯装微愠。
在台下的我牵动嘴角,我也是听她的歌长大的。

她在这里并不是很红。
不过她有几首蛮红的歌《鲁冰花》、《客途秋恨》、《茉莉花的日子》等。
她歌声低沉落寞,擅长唱民谣曲风的歌曲。我觉得她很适合乡村摇滚风格的歌。
不过以前的她在舞台上很拘谨木讷,一点也摇滚不起来。但这次的表演令我惊喜。
听她唱《花房姑娘》,看她疯狂飙吉他,野性尽露,放得开了。
她真正属于舞台了,且演唱功力越来越棒。
即使是唱别人的歌,她也得心应手,崔建的《花房姑娘》、林慧萍的《说时依旧》、许美静的《城里的月光》都在她的歌声中,得到了新的诠释。

我喜见她的改变。年纪越大越自信,活得自在。

那一晚重温了她许多好歌,发现民谣就是不同,十几年前的歌现在听来却没有过时感。
真正的timeless。

《岁月的酒》是曾淑勤所唱,我最喜欢的其中一首歌,它很有意思。

岁月的酒 线上试听
曲:苏来 词:谢明训

岁月的酒 你只能喝一遍
喝过一遍 就走过一生
在这一生 你爱过多少人
有多少人 最后 还留在身边
喝吧 啊 喝吧 岁月 啊 干杯
喝吧 啊 喝吧 岁月 啊 干杯
清醒时说过的爱恋
等到酒醉 都变成谎言
流的是温热的眼泪
喝下的是 你我的岁月

附带提一下,曾淑勤每周末的傍晚6点至7点在台湾的音乐台《台北之音》主持节目。
可以上网收听http://www.hitoradio.com/showtime/onair.php
现在我已习惯在线上收听这个电台的节目,因为是歌多话少,而且都是好歌,有许多节目主持人是歌手,播的歌真的比较有水准,而且至少他们说话听起来较悦耳。

我知道我累了

当我一躺下就入眠

当我坐在椅子上等待上课时也昏昏欲睡

当我走进电梯而按错楼层,电梯停在原地不动


我知道我累了

I must be strong, when I'm weak.

我还在看医生,还在吃药,还在抓痒。
我烦不胜烦。
我开始怀疑自己能否跟这样的疾病相处,它不时挑战着我的理智。

昨天看了钟琴的一篇访问,她之前患上了跟甲状腺有关的病,好像是失调什么的,这种病我搞不清楚是什么。但是看她熬过了药物副作用,积极勇敢面对疾病,我还是有所启发。我觉得她说得没错,身体不好时,我们更要勇敢。

我现在不奢望完全摆脱这难缠的病,但我还是希望它不要这么烦,别老是发作。
我要怎么做,病情才会好转一些?

梦境

昨晚莫名其妙地做了一个莫名其妙的梦,
其实醒来时已忘了它。

然而眼角干了的泪痕、微肿的眼,
提醒了我,那个梦。

梦中,妈妈告诉我,P永远离开了。
我晓得她的意思,虽然现实中,他好好的。
梦中的我没有怀疑,只有难过。我狠狠地哭。
这是我后来记起的。

我无法解释为何会做这样的梦,并不是日有所思。
P活得好好的。
告诉了萍,她说做了这种梦一定要告诉对方,这样才不会梦境成真。
虽然觉得荒谬也不太相信这样的说法,但宁可信其有,我还是把他们约出来,告诉P这个关于他的可怕的梦。原来萍多年前也曾有过类似的梦,主角也是P。可想而知,他听了毛骨悚然。

前阵子我梦见自己把一个好学生的脑袋轰开。
那个梦境感觉很真实,梦中的我以为自己这下完了,竟然成了杀人犯。
惊醒的时候,发现是做梦,才松了一口气。
我没有告诉那个学生我在梦中把她杀死,当然那个梦没有可能成真。第一,我并不讨厌她,反而挺欣赏她;第二,我没有枪,不可能把她射死。

有些人相信梦境是有意义的。这两个梦要如何解读?

这一首歌,我们的对话

爱,永远不会消失

我知道你慌 我知道你乱
我知道你没了主张
我知道你用泪水洗着伤

不要哭不要苦 就算月亮星星忘了守护
不要哭不要苦 就算时间空间瞬间结束
爱是永远不会消失 从相同的地方开始
记忆变成一床被子能温暖心事
爱是永远不会停止不过换个方式开始
拥抱过美丽的日子感动会真实一辈子

我知道你怕 我知道你恨
我知道你不想这样
我知道你求上天让时间倒转

不要哭不要苦 就算月亮星星忘了守护
不要哭不要苦 就算时间空间瞬间结束
爱是永远不会消失 从相同的地方开始记忆
变成一床被子能温暖心事
爱是永远不会停止 不过换个方式开始
拥抱过美丽的日子 感动会真实一辈子

你的心若遗失在昨天 捡回来把它还给明天



有些事,不是错过了,还能追回的。
有些事,没有明天。

2000年2月23日
我飞到某地。

2000年2月24日
你走了。

再见那一天,他们簇拥着我上前,
完成他们认为的,我该为你做的事、该对你说的话,
我好抗拒。
不,那不是你。
记忆中的你如此美丽,那怎么会是你。
那一天的情景,他们告诉我片片断断,我无法想象。

告别那一天,
我想,你是来过的。
你是来看我吗?还是我占了你习惯的位子?

终于告别了,
我躺在床上,极累。
催自己快睡,睡醒了,噩梦就醒了,这一切都没有发生。

然而,
这个梦没有醒。

有些事我没来得及,我后来才知道,已经太迟。
她们只说要坚强,要放下,
但没人告诉我
后悔了,遗憾了,怎么办?

快6年了,
她们已可以坦然聊起你的点点滴滴,就像你还在。
我还不得不别过头,不得不走开。
没有人明白,这份遗憾,我独有。

这一段日子的回忆和情绪,嵌在这一首歌里。
这会不会是我们的对话?

办公室熄灯,黑暗中白影飘过

今天6点40分,办公室已经熄灯,里头应该没人了。

我站在离出口不远处,等一个刚从楼上下来的同事,她不知为了何事直往办公室里头冲。

在等待的当然,我竟无意间看到一团白影,从厕所外的走道往我座位那个方向飘过!

我顿时愣了愣,我记得......进入办公室内的同事今天穿的是黑衣。

那......那团白影是??!

愈想愈毛骨悚然......



正在犹豫不知怎么办时......突然,黑暗中,一团白影向我走来......

原来

是我的另一名同事,她今天穿全白的连身衣裙,

而且我以为她已经离开了,哪知道原来她还在......

害我吓一大跳,没事不要穿成这样嘛!



本来想在走出办公室后告诉她那场虚惊,

可是一出去就忙着和学生说话,她赶时间先走,

我后来一边走一边传简讯给她,告诉她刚才发生的事,

她在德士上看了我的简讯后独自发笑,大概也吓了司机一跳,以为遇到了......


没事就别穿白色连身衣裙啦!

坚强,不失控

我想她说得对,我真的应该自豪,
因为面对那种无礼野蛮人的指责侮辱,
我并没有失控

虽然我已经在失控的边缘。
拳头已经握紧,全身肌肉紧绷。
只要我修养少一点,脾气再火暴点,拳头或许已经挥出去。

事后回想,愤怒让我的眼眶发烫。
但是我还是没有落泪。

那样的
咄咄逼人、乱扣帽子,
蛮不讲理、颠倒是非,
让我全身的血液滚烫。

只有坚强与自信,
使我能
对抗这家魔鬼。

地狱里
正义绝迹,
魔鬼,
我等天来收你。

What parents say to teachers

Story 1

[Context:

Sec1 girl's parents request that she leave for home promptly at 5.30pm for every CCA training, usually CCA ends at 6pm. Girl told teacher it's because there's nobody else to fetch her P2 sister home from school, and she needs to take bus home on her own, so she needs to leave at 5.30pm. Believing what she said, and out of goodwill, the teacher allowed her to leave early, but told the girl that by leaving early she'll miss out on the learning part and that's not encouraged. Actually the girl is not suitable for this CCA because she's too petite to do much in the CCA which requires some physical work, but unfortunately the girl insisted on joining. A few weeks later, one day at 5.45pm the students are doing debrief. The girl didn't remind the seniors that she needs to go off, a man dashed into the room despite being told to wait outside, and demanded that his daughter be dismissed, it was then that the teacher discovered that it's actually the girl's father who fetch her home in taxi, and the father doesn't want to make arrangements to fetch the younger daughter himself even though he's driving a taxi (which has more flexible working hours) so that he can earn more money. Since the girl has not been telling teacher the truth, and actually the father can fetch the sister home, teacher advised the girl to either stay throughout the CCA training or look for a CCA that ends earlier. Girl's parents demand that teacher call the father.]

Teacher: Do you understand the nature of XXX CCA?

Father: Whatever my daughter likes, I will let her join.

(Teacher: No wonder she insists on joining this CCA and refuses to budge, typical pampered spoilt brat.)


Father: My daughter said that you said since I'm fetching her home, can let me wait until 5.50pm.(referring to the day when he dashed into the room)

Teacher: I did not say that, I didn't even know that there's someone picking her up! She told me she goes home on her own by bus..

Father(Realising that it's his daughter who twist the words): Okay, that's not important.


Teacher: She’s going to miss out a lot if she were to miss the debrief every time, so I've advised her to change another CCA, but she refused.

Father(yelling into the phone): Okay, as the father, I'll advise her to change another CCA.


Not long after, the girl's mother called the CCA HOD, CCA HOD at meeting, so could not answer call, girl's mother called the office repeatedly, HOD of humanities informed CCA HOD that there's this parent who kept calling. CCA HOD still did not go and answer call. Girl's mother called again and again, until HOD of humanities told the CCA HOD to answer the call immediately before the parent drives everyone crazy. CCA HOD answers call, after which he hinted to teacher to let the girl stay in the CCA. Teacher insisted that for the benefit of the student, it'll be best that she find a CCA that fits her timing and she won't miss out any training.


The next day, both parents come to see the CCA HOD, demanding to talk to the teacher.


(Note: The mother's hair is golden in colour, and she wears tight-fitting bright orange top and green color hot pants, typical old Ah Lian look. )


Mother: She will be late (in picking up younger sister) if she has to walk to bus stop at XXX, take bus to XXX to change bus XXX to XXX.

Teacher: She did not tell me that....

Mother: As a teacher you should ask her! She leaves school at 5.30pm, reach home at 6.40pm because she needs to wait for bus you know or not? As the teacher she should ask her!

(Teacher thinking: I am not the one who demands her to be home early. Why should I know the details on how she goes home? I'm not responsible for her transportation home.)


Teacher: At the end of every CCA training there'll be a debrief whereby a lot of learning takes place, if she leaves early every time and miss out on the debrief she’ll lag behind in the learning……

Mother: Then you’re a irresponsible teacher! You should make up what she missed to her! It's your responsibility to make sure my daughter learns what the rest learnt! The next meeting you must teach her what she missed! What kind of teacher are you?!

(Teacher blood boiling)


Mother: I've been to school before so I know what school is like! (Teacher thinking: You think we teachers never been to school before? Or you're conscious that the way you look and talk make us wonder whether you've been to school before?) School must let student join CCA that they have interest, school cannot ask student to join CCA that they don't have interest!

Mother: And you tell me which CCA ends before 6pm?!

Teacher: Library.

Father: But library 4 times a week leh!

Teacher: But our CCA can also be 4 times a week, even everyday!

Father: But she's not interested in library!

(By this time the teacher is too angry to say anything.)


Mother: Actually I demand an apology from you for asking my daughter to change to a CCA that suits our timing but she has no interest!

(Teacher boiling mad: I want you to apologize for insulting me!)


Mother: If really cannot then I either let her change school or this year don't let her join CCA!

(Teacher thinking: Go ahead and change school! As if I care!)

Father: Anyway CCA not important one right? Unless she wants to go JC, I checked with my friends they say if go Poly CCA points are not important.
(Teacher thinking: So the truth is you do not think that CCA is important that is why you want her to leave early!)

Break to cool down and get the girl over here for CCA HOD to ask her what she really wants.

Mother goes and complains to Principal who was just nearby.



Story 2

Parents come to school to look for a teacher, but didn't make appointment in advance. They talk into the intercom(to page for teacher): We would like to see Mdm XXX, please don't make us wait, our time is precious!

(Teachers who heard it: You think your time is precious so our time is not worth anything lah!)



Story 3

Boy often forgets to bring books and do homework.

Teacher informs his mother through the phone.

Mother: Thank you for informing me. (Teacher thinking: oh this is an appreciative parent)But can you not inform me only after a few times? Please inform me every time he forgets something.

(Teacher thinking: You think I only have to teach your son? I've got more than a hundred students to look after.)

Teacher: Well, usually we give a few chances, I've warned him that if he forgets to bring something for the 3rd time I'll call his parents……

Mother: No no no don't give chance, must call me straight away. He's still young I must keep a close eye on him.

(Teacher: A concerned and supportive parent, but I am not so free to call you every time!)

敏感寡言的双鱼座


极度慢热,朋友不多,
幸运的是,在朋友之中,知心好友不少。
倔强不肯把菱角磨平,
仇人大概不比朋友少。

越来越相信,我们来到人世,
是为了与别人相遇......
愉快也好,气愤也罢,
每一个交集都丰富我的生命。

谢谢你对我的好,
遇到恶人,气愤之余,
提醒自己:有所学,有所获,那就好。



从前......
