阑风长雨,中秋月依稀

不知为何,今年中秋令我想起了清朝纳兰性德菩萨蛮里的一句:“阑风伏雨催寒食,樱桃一夜花狼藉。”

我可算是个相当‘无情’的华人,从第一次中秋节吃月饼到现在,没有一次是想着嫦娥的。我反而会不禁的想起朱元璋。其实现在许多华人对中秋的典故也不什了了,更甭说为什么它会和朱元璋扯上关系。我还希望有人能记得这类历史事迹,未免过于迂腐了。呵呵!

现在的华文教育者,都不提老朱了。为什么哦?是不是老朱的起身成事,有煽动的意味?

在英文学界里有这么一句话,一百万人又怎么会错呢?不过,资深的宗教或政治家都很明白,他们都能对你说,群众是可以长期被迷惑的。希特勒是最好的例子。

今年的中秋,我又多了两个第一。第一次没有看到月亮。中秋的月儿,对我来说每年都一样,那皓白无瑕的光,有如待嫁的新娘子,时而羞涩的躲在云后,时而带着澄红的脸庞,静默的看着自己的倒影,也不介意世俗人们的打量。我听说中秋在海边赏月,更是别有一番风味。沙沙的海潮声,拖曳着月光,在一起一伏的海面上翩翩起舞。我可以想象。

可不知道外国的月亮,是不是也那么美?

深秋明月份外亮,更待何时述情长
羞花闭月,沉鱼红霞,直叫心向往
话别后,述离长,更教人惆怅

问世间情为何物?

阑风长雨,海角天崖

(在写这篇时,竟听到有人在窗外放鞭炮。呵呵的有点不伦不类。)

A student molested another student is hardly news worthy


I am late about this, which is done on purpose. But I think an outstanding human like this deserves a second chance.

You see, I never come across anyone who committed crime twice against modesty, yet still being able to continue study in University. During my time, if you are caught smoking in school uniform, it is the end of you academic life.

Maybe being a mental therapist has got nothing to do with having a sound mind.

Maybe there is something about him I failed to see.

The headline of a related news also deluded me. "A China Top Psychology student in NUS molested a China local woman on a shutter bus".

Wo, I thought Singapore newspaper accidentally printed a piece of news which belongs to China.

What a pity. He could have be great. Now there is one less pro head-shrinker in the world.

Remind me to bring along this photo next time I need to see a psychiatrist.

秋季。数数载落叶翩翩

我记得我所见过每一个人的面孔。或许有点夸张,应该说,你若曾经当我是朋友,依然当我是朋友,我不会忘记你的脸。绝对不会。你可以安心的跟我打招呼。

我记得浪头三十尺时,全船人无一不翻,仍然起身为我们准备一大锅瘦肉粥的海军厨师。他只是一个二等兵。

在我为傢具公司打工时,你夫妇俩曾经向该公司的经理写了一封表扬我的信。我记得你们,谢谢。

年 少时有本小红册,里面写满了随笔的诗词幻想,甚爱不释手。一次母亲在焚烧垃圾时,把那本小红册也一块儿丢入火坑里,无良的火贪婪的咀嚼着那些破铜烂铁,也 将年少的热情,壮志一并化为灰烬。我赶到时,不顾一切的伸手到火堆里搜索。救出一半的梦,一半的纸灰,手也被烧伤。从此后,更加爱惜这本小册子。

不过,后来还是把它给弄丢了。人也长大了。

前一阵子在巴士车站见到你。你急忙转过身去,把老天安排了好久的叙旧机会也撇开了。我当天心绪不宁,直到你上了巴士,走了,我还是没有望你一眼。我心里其实是很清楚的。耳机播着三毛的《说时依旧》,似乎是太含蓄了。

我故意假装不认识你,因为这不是一部爱情片,我们无须向彼此交代。

一阵风在树梢沙沙的刮过,刹时整条路都盖满了黄叶,还有几片落在我脚下。

If I Have One Hundred Meg,


A parody MTV made by Trevor Thum, using Singapore once popular Hokkien song - If Only I Have a Million Dollar, lyric re-imagine as how local netizen like to have their Internet faster and faster. I like it very much.
