Oh My God!

This evening when I was practising hard, I received a MMS from my sis... After I retrieved it from the Internet, I found that it was the picture of my dog- Happy... Quite cute and handsome(just like me, wahahaha)... It was the following pic I received... Check it out...














After that I admired the pic of the dog which is only a bit less handsome than the master(wakaka) but cuter anyhow, suddenly my phone rang again... It was a MMS from my sis again... The pic was as following...














Looking at the pic I was thinking to myself:"What is this stupid and ugly dog doing at my house? May be it is the dog of my mom's friend?" Wondering the purpose my sis sending me this pic, for a split sec, I suddenly realised! That dog is Happy! I could recognize the eyes! Oh God! What happened to him?! Without any hesitation, I called my mom and asked about Happy... My father said that they have adopted another chiwawa dog... Doubting that statement, my mom finally told me that they brought Happy to... erm... What do you call the professional dog fur cuter? Dog barber? Dog fur stylist? Personally I like the latter one... So, they brought Happy to *ahem* 'dog fur stylist'(dfs)... And one of the dfs told my mom that she had to cut Happy's fur thoroughly or else the fur regrown wont be nice and pretty... So the dfs 'botakkan' Happy... Since it is sleeping in air-conditioned room(Not even me have the pleasure!), my mom even bought a dog t-shirt to prevent it from shivering in coldness(Nowadays dogs are very fortunate!)He has toys, blueberry snacks, two cages, a rotan and all the luxuries I don't have! Now he has a new shirt! I am so jealous of Happy now! My mom doesn't love me anymore! *sob*

P/S: Hope Happy's fur regrows fast b4 I go back home this coming November!

饿与饱之间-进食的中庸之道

由于介于斋戒月中,我的胃常常处于很饿或很饱的两个不同的极端。早上和中午在宿舍范围是找不到食物的,所以会饿着肚子(如果没有课的话),躺在床上奄奄一息。一直要到下午四、五点在宿舍前面的档口才买到久违的早+午+晚餐。因为是早餐+午餐+晚餐,所以会吃很多很多以弥补我心灵的不平衡,这时候又会感觉到很饱。有点像predator,难听一点的说法就叫像禽兽,如蟒蛇狮子诸如此类的。当捕猎到食物的时候狂进食然后死撑打饱嗝;当没有猎物的时候呢,肚子就被饥饿煎熬着鼓声如雷响。这是不文明不健康不合天理的进食习惯。所以,我认为进食要走中庸之道。

何谓中庸之道呢?如果我留一把胡子,手握《中庸》一卷,然后碎碎念什么天道与人道合一或天性与人性合一之类的,相信可以活生生地闷死很多人。当然我也不懂什么是真正的中庸之道,大抵知道中庸是‘中立’、‘平庸’,是处世不偏不倚,折中调和的态度。不过,鲁迅先生对中庸之道狠批得体无完肤,其中例子如下:

“中国人的性情是总喜欢调和、折中的。譬如你说,这屋子太暗,须在这里开一个窗,大家一定不允许的。但如果你主张拆掉屋顶,他们就会来调和,愿意开窗了。没有更激烈的主张,他们总连平和的改革也不肯行。”(《无声的中国》)

“遇见强者,不敢反抗,便以‘中庸’这些话来粉饰,聊以自慰。所以中国人倘有权力,看见别人奈何他不得,或者有‘多数’作他护符的时候,多是凶残横恣,宛 然一个暴君,做事并不中庸;待到满口‘中庸’时,乃是势力已去,早非‘中庸’不可的时候了。一到全败,则又有‘命运’来做话柄,纵为奴隶,也处之泰然,但 又无往而不合于圣道。这些现象,实在可以使中国人败亡,无论有没有外敌。”(《华盖集•通讯》)

“我们中华民族虽然常常自命为爱‘中庸’,行‘中庸’的人民,其实是颇不免于过激的。譬如对于敌人罢,有时压服不够,还要‘除恶务尽’,杀掉不够,还要‘ 食肉寝皮’。但有时候,却又谦虚到‘侵略者要进来,让他们进来。也许他们会杀了十万中国人,不要紧,中国人有得是,我们再有人上去’。这真叫人猜不透是真 痴还是假呆。而女人的脚尤其是一个铁证,不小则已,小则必求其三寸……”(《由中国女人的脚,推定中国人之非中庸,又由此推定孔夫子有胃病》)

当然鲁迅先生是对于与其它封建思想做出辛辣批评谴责,并不只是针对中庸。当时的中国人的思想墨守成规,并不懂得进步,鲁迅先生通过辛辣的文字、尖锐的语言,做出中国人思想大革命,这是非常艰难的,所以鲁迅先生真的很‘有型’!当然中庸和其他封建思想也有可取之处,只是有些out了,所以这些智慧要选择合适的来应用,好比说进食要走中庸之道:吃要七分饱,不快不慢地咀嚼,不急不缓地吞;切勿狼吞虎咽,也禁忌吃得出奇地慢。这样才会吃出健康,吃得开心,何乐而不为呢?

当然,我只会说说而已,每一餐我都走豺狼和老虎的路线,吃不出健康却很满足,嘻嘻!

顺带一提,饱和饿两个字很可爱:

饱:把字面拆开,是一个‘食’和‘包’,意思是吃了一个叉烧包或豆沙包或蟹黄包或面包,胃里暖暖的,即是‘饱’。
饿:把字面拆开,是一个‘食’和‘我’,意思是没有东西吃,只好‘吃自己’,自我消化,即是‘饿’。

婆孙俩

这是一个炎热的下午,老婆婆拿着破扇子在树底下一扇一扇地乘凉。

忽地一瞅,老婆婆看见宝贝孙女在房子角落抱膝哭泣。她缓缓地放下了破扇子,吃力地爬起来后蹒跚地走到了孙女面前,用颤抖的手轻柔地抚摸孙女的头发,说道:“是谁那么大胆欺负俺的心肝宝贝啊?瞧你这副模样啊,哭成个泪人般,真是要把婆婆的心也哭碎吗?唔?”孙女抬起头,看着老婆婆慈祥的目光,她紧紧地抱着老婆婆却哭得越发凄厉了。老婆婆仍旧抚摸孙女的秀发,说道:“哭吧,哭出来准舒服些。是为了阿明吗?两小无猜斗嘴稀松平常,别看婆婆老了,婆婆曾经是年轻貌美的过来人呢!”轻拍着孙女的肩,老婆婆笑道:“泪水串串儿地流,泪水里有盐分(缘分)呢!今儿你还会为了他流泪,证明你俩的盐分(缘分)不少!”一番话说得孙女扑哧一笑,用略为哽咽声音说道:“婆婆,原来眼泪有盐?怪不得感情会那么的咸(玄)了?”

说毕,婆孙俩相视而笑。

与寂寞登山

相约登山,
无惧荆棘载途、坎坷不平的道路;
他们握紧彼此的手,
徐徐前进。

山顶上,
等待日落的同时,
他们手牵手、肩并肩。
残阳映在土地上,他们的影子,
隐约是一个心形。
他放声呐喊,厚颜地向世界炫耀他们的幸福;
她曼妙吟唱,羞赧地朝大地诉说他们的爱情。

但是,
他们并不知道他们身后的老树旁站着一个卑微的我,
静静地心碎、偷偷地哭泣、轻轻地称羡;
当然也有一些不甘心地祝福他们幸福快乐、天长地久,
虽然他们的甜蜜让我感到苦涩;
即使他们的恩爱让我体会孤单。

夜幕低垂,他们的歌声静止了,
两人紧紧地依靠着对方,
此时无声更胜有声时。
我识趣地踏着遗留于满地的回忆碎片,
隐藏起潸潸流下的眼泪,
悄悄地、缓缓地下山。
我并不寂寞,
因为我还有我的影子相随。

Lovely Spring of May

Flowers blossom in the lovely spring of May,
There are violets, chrysanthemums, roses and buttercups
Which are red, blue, purple, yellow and roundly happy,
Blooming in this pleasant field.
Forgive me for some I couldn’t name;
But they play their role to cheer me up,
Performing this splendid flower-show.

Overjoyed at the colours, children running all over the field;
Their laughter fills this land with joy,
Composing a natural melody that invites me to sing-along.
Oh, let’s not forget the ripening apples and cherries,
They are the essence of the pies Aunt Marie baked.
Suddenly, tantalizing smell pervades my wooden cabin,
Aunt Marie has brought some for me to taste,
I express my gratitude with the pudding I have made.

Oh, lovely spring of May, what a joyful day!
Breeze of warmth gently brushing my face,
What more could I ask for with the peace I possess?
Just one thing, as there is something missing,
That would be your smile which always cure my pain,
I ought to see you smiling or else my life is flawed;
Life is meaningless even if I live eternally,
In this lovely spring of May, in this joyful day.

累了

累了,所以紧闭双眸,
思绪却肆意飞翔,
频频闯入不知名的国度;
延续清醒时的痛苦,
承接现实中的无奈。

猝然,
一道划过苍穹的七色彩虹赫然退色,
化作七道不同深浅的黑灰线条,
刺破人们彩色的希望;
空气中飘散着成千上万希望的残骸,
最终或委尘土,或随流水;
场面如斯地绝望,
也如斯地凄美。
歇斯底里的人群,随处可见,
撕裂呐喊的声音, 震耳欲聋。
我迷惑了,
分不清清浊是非真假;
梦境内所有多么地真实,
现实中一切又何其地虚伪?

醒了,然后张开双眼,
脑海却一片空白。
我打了一个呵欠,伸了伸懒腰,
痛苦地延续清醒,
无奈地承接现实,
一步紧接着一步,
缓缓地迈向死亡。

The Crowded Room

Here I stand, in this crowded room
That filled with emptiness
With strangers exchanging glances
Shoulders rubbing shoulders
Solitary or grouped, empty souls are there
Faking smiles to one another
As I watch, I give a genuine smile
To myself in the mirror that smiling back at me

Here I am, in this crowded room
That filled with loneliness
With passers-by avoiding each other
A lifetime, I would spend
To seek love in every corner of this room
Naive you may say I am
As I believe in lies that never exist
But I am not as empty as you are
My soul, is filled with hopes more than anybody else
In this dimly-lit crowded room
