回忆

爱的代价
歌手:张艾嘉


星期五这一天,突然回忆起以前与家人一起观赏电视剧的情景。从琼瑶的爱情苦情片,金庸的武侠片,各位神明的生平故事到铁面无私的包青天等等等等。青青河边草,包青天,哪咤,望夫崖,三千金,关公传,土地公传,神雕侠侣,书剑恩仇录等等等等。这里写出的只是当时我所看过的十分之一。 突然间,很想念以前的时光。真的很谢谢爸妈。因为他们没有禁止当时的我们观看这些电视剧。也因为这样,我才有这么多美好的回忆;也因为这样,我才会热爱华语;也因为这样,我的中文程度才不至于太差;也因为这样,我才有美好的童年。走过的日子,不管当时有多苦,回忆过去时, 总会很甜很甜...

朋友,微笑的走过每一天。 让我们的回忆,都是甜甜的。

Nice Articles to Share...

(Thanks Kiang for sharing this email with me. And thanks to the author of these articles. )

TRUST
Trust is a very important factor for all relationships. When trust is broken, it is the end of the relationship. Lack of trust leads to suspicion, suspicion generates anger, anger causes enmity and enmity may result in separation.

A telephone operator told me that one day she received a phone call.
She answered, "Public Utilities Board." There was silence.
She repeated, "PUB." There was still no answer.
When she was going to cut off the line, she Heard a lady's voice, "Oh, so this is PUB.Sorry , I got the number from my Husband's pocket but I do not know whose number it is."

Without mutual trust, just imagine what will happen to the couple if the telephone operator answered with just "hello" instead of "PUB".



NO POINTING FINGERS
A man asked his father-in-law, "Many people praised you for a successful marriage. Could you please share with me your secret?"
The father-in-law answered in a smile, "Never criticize your wife for her shortcomings or when she does something wrong. Always bear in mind that because of her shortcomings and weaknesses, she could not find a better husband than you."

We all look forward to being loved and respected. Many people are afraid of losing face.
Generally, when a person makes a mistake, he would look around to find a scapegoat to point the finger at. This is the start of a war.
We should always remember that when we point one finger at a person, the other four fingers are pointing at ourselves.
If we forgive the others, others will ignore our mistake too.



CREATING PERFECT RELATIONSHIPS?
A person visited the government matchmaker for marriage, SDU, and requested "I am looking for a spouse. Please help me to find a suitable one."
The SDU officer said, "Your requirements, please."
"Oh, good looking, polite, humorous , sporty, knowledgeable, good in singing and dancing. Willing to accompany me the whole day at home during my leisure hour, if I don't go out. Telling me interesting stories when I need companion for conversation and be silent when I want to rest."
The officer listened carefully and replied, "I understand you need television."

There is a saying that a perfect match can only be found between a blind wife and a deaf husband ,because the blind wife cannot see the faults of the husband and the deaf husband cannot hear the nagging of the wife.
Many couples are blind and deaf at the courting stage and dream of perpetual perfect relationship.
Unfortunately, when the excitement of love wears off, they wake up and discover that marriage is not a bed of roses. The nightmare begins.



NO OVERPOWERING
Many relationships fail because one party tries to overpower another,or demands too much.
People in love tend to think that love will conquer all and their spouses will change the bad habits after marriage.
Actually, this is not the case. There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "It is easier to reshape a mountain or a river than a person's character."
It is not easy to change. Thus, having high expectation on changing the spouse character will cause disappointment and unpleasantness.
It would be less painful to change ourselves and lower our expectations.



RIGHT SPEECH
There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "A speech will either prosper or ruin a nation."
Many relationships break off because of wrong speech. When a couple is too close with each other,we always forget mutual respect and courtesy. We may say anything without considering if it would hurt the other party.

A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site.
A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted,"Hi, Emily! Remember me? We used to date in the secondary school."
On the way home, her millionaire husband teased her, "Luckily you married me.Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction worker."
She answered ,"You should appreciate that you married me. Otherwise, he will be the millionaire and not you."

Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed for a bad relationship. It's like a broken egg - cannot be reversed.



PERSONAL PERCEPTION
Different people have different perception. One man's meat could be another man's poison.

A couple bought a donkey from the market.
On the way home,a boy commented, "Very stupid. Why neither of them ride on the donkey?"
Upon hearing that, the husband let the wife ride on the donkey. He walked besides them.
Later, an old man saw it and commented, "The husband is the head of family. How can the wife ride on the donkey while the husband is on foot?"
Hearing this, the wife quickly got down and let the husband ride on the donkey.
Further on the way home, they met an old Lady. She commented, "How can the man ride on the donkey but let the wife walk. He is no gentleman."
The husband thus quickly asked the wife to join him on the donkey.
Then, they met a young man. He commented, "Poor donkey, how can you hold up the weight of two persons. They are cruel to you."
Hearing that, the husband and wife immediately climbed down from the donkey and carried it on their shoulders.
It seems to be the only choice left. Later, on a narrow bridge, the donkey was frightened and struggled. They lost their balance and fell into the river.

You can never have everyone praise you, nor will everyone condemn you. Never in the past, not at present, and never will be in the future.
Thus, do not be too bothered by others words if our conscience is clear..



BE PATIENT
This is a true story which happened in the States.

A man came out of his home to admire his new truck.
To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the truck.
The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp as punishment.
When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital.
Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands.
When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, " Daddy,I'm sorry about your truck."
Then he asked, "but when are my fingers going to grow back?"
The father went home & committed suicide.

Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or u wish to take revenge.
Think first before u lose your patience with someone u love.
Trucks can be repaired.
Broken bones & hurt feelings often can't.
Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge.
People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.

珍贵的友情

(以下故事纯属虚构,如有雷同,实属巧合)

“禾,待会儿我们要到Banting去,有一个烧烤会,你要不要去?”
“嗯,我考虑看看。”
禾知道今天是星期五,因为他最近都很忙,她和他都没有好好相处过了。今天是他手头上的工作告一段落的日子,本来就打算今天一起看场电影,打一场游戏。怎办?她在友情和爱情之间须要做一个抉择。
她,询问他的意见。
他,虽然希望她陪他,但他不希望她处于两难的状况。他叫她去。
她,明白他的心思。经过心理的挣扎,她决定了。
她决定推了那朋友的聚会,留下来。
这样的决定,她都反反复复的做着。三次中,有两次她都会选择留下。
.
.
.
K年后,她开始怀念那些和朋友三五成群,一起在图书馆逗留,一起去mamak档吃supper,一起去某某餐厅庆生等等等等。
她,开始觉得,除了他,朋友也很重要。

~~~~~~

“佳,朋友也很重要啊!有时和另一伴吵架时,朋友就很重要。”
“和另一伴吵架,是两个人之间沟通出了问题,为什么你不尝试去了解,和对方多做沟通呢?每个人都有他们独特的想法啊!就好像一张纸有两面,你问了朋友,他们可能这样想,那并不代表你的另一伴也那样想啊!”
“... ... ”
.
.
.
K年后,他们听到一首歌。
刘若英:“我真的觉得朋友很重要,就是那个真的觉得很委屈的时候...”
范玮琪:“有一个人在旁边说我懂。”
刘若英:“对,我不管他到底懂不懂。”
他说他觉得刘若英说得很对。
她,因为时间和环境的磨练,她默许了。
她和他,终于有同样的想法:朋友很重要。

~~~~~~

“金,我下个星期二会随父亲到你那边附近。我们出来见个面。再联络哦!”
“金,我会在家乡待到九月。如果你有回来,记得找我。我的电话是:xxxxxxxxxx。我已经和焕,靖,耀他们见过面了。你回来家乡一定要联络我哦。”
“金,我这个周末会回家乡。你有在吗?你可以来我的家过夜哦!”
...
一次又一次,她错过了和他或她见面的机会。原因?懒?忙?家人?
.
.
.
K年后,她,经过那特别的经历,她才明白,为什么那些到海外念书的朋友总会用尽一切力量与每一位朋友保持联络。她,学会了更珍惜朋友。
她终于觉得,也感觉到:朋友真的很重要。

~~~~~~

“匀,别难过,我们知道我们的友情不会因为毕业而结束。”
那年那天,她和她们,在心里默默的许下承诺,她们之间的友谊不会结束。但是,日子一天一天过。人也会一天一天的改变。她发现,她们都变了。想法,观点,都不一样了。曾几何时,她担心:见面少了,友情会变淡吗?
.
.
.
K年后,她在异乡。难过的时候,寂寞的时候,想到的,始终是那几位知己。他们让她感觉她还是她。她,也感受到,真正的友谊是不会被距离和时间给磨灭的。当她寂寞,有疑惑,他们总会在那里给她隐形的支持力量。有时,虽然他们不说话,但有个人在那里陪着她,她已觉得足够了。她,感觉到,朋友真的很重要。

~~~~~~

四则小故事。与大家分享。这几天,总觉得不怎么开心。因为看到几位朋友被恋爱那把刀给割得伤痕累累。很想与他们分担,但不懂该说什么。

希望大家多多珍惜身边的朋友。可能你和他不怎么亲密,你和他不可能聊心事,你和他不可能...但是,别忘了,你的生活,因为有他或她,所以才会这样的完美。别再用“忙”当借口。今天就拿起电话,向很久没联络的朋友问候。

也谢谢在我生命中的朋友。因为有你,世界变得更完美。

不能跟情人说的话

歌手:范玮琪+刘若英


有時候對一個人 那麼用心
卻還是搞不清楚 她的落寂
談戀愛誰沒演過一點戲
裝沒事 裝忘記 裝相信

有時候和一個人 那麼盡力
卻還是忍不住想 保護自己

誰戀愛不曾藏一點秘密
留防備 留回憶 留心情

謝謝你總是陪我分享

不能跟情人說的話

我反反複複你也從不笑我
老是罵他卻又離不開他

謝謝你總是替我收藏
不想跟情人說的話

我胡思亂想你一直握著我手
讓我釋放 然後慢慢寬廣

謝謝你總是陪我分享

不能跟情人說的話

我反反複複你也從不笑我
老是罵他卻又離不開他

謝謝你總是替我收藏
不想跟情人說的話

我胡思亂想你一直握著我手
讓我釋放 然後慢慢寬廣

別人都說我很堅強
只有你勸我別逞強
愛是漂亮卻不完美的天堂
舊了總有需要修補的地方


謝謝你總是陪我分享

不能跟情人說的話

我反反複複你也從不笑我
老是罵他卻又離不開他

謝謝你總是替我收藏
不想跟情人說的話

我胡思亂想你一直握著我手
讓我釋放 然後慢慢寬廣

诚实

你说我变漂亮了
有一种清朗的神色
你的微笑挡着快决堤的寂寞
我心疼但没说 也不能说
你说你们分开了
为什么我眼睛红了
星星像被风吹得有点摇晃着
你试着牵我手 我躲开了

有时候诚实多么不容易
尤其是看最爱的人伤心
你的幸福真的不在我这里
你走以后 我整理好就再确定
对自己诚实岂只是勇气
懂得坚持更要舍得放弃
有些感动 会落地生根的定居
有些快乐 是终究对回家的旅行

你说我变漂亮了
有一种清朗的神色
你的微笑挡着快决堤的寂寞
我心疼但没说 也不能说

你说你们分开了
为什么我眼睛红了
星星像被风吹得有点摇晃着
你试着牵我手 我躲开了

有时候诚实多么不容易
尤其是看最爱的人伤心
你的幸福真的不在我这里
你走以后 我整理好就再确定
对自己诚实岂只是勇气
懂得坚持更要舍得放弃
有些感动 会落地生根的定居
有些快乐 是终究对回家的旅行

有时候诚实多么不容易
尤其是看最爱的人伤心
你的幸福真的不在我这里
你走以后 我整理好就再确定

对自己诚实岂只是勇气
懂得坚持更要舍得放弃
有些感动 会落地生根的定居
有些快乐 是终究对回家的旅行

p/s:范范的最新专辑还蛮多首歌合我胃口,好听好听...

是非题

歌手:范玮琪

每段故事 都有一篇劇情
每段愛情 都像動人旋律
一顆真心 卻只向著你前進 
也許愛越單純越著迷

你是窗外 另外一片風景
在你眼裡 我是什麼關係
你的呼吸 存在我的愛情里 
何時能誠實面對自己

我們從不開口那個原因
那一句 我愛你 
永遠像少了勇氣
別人都說我和你之間的關係
沒有人相信 只有關心

我們從不證實那個問題
那一些是非題 
總讓人傷透腦筋
我會期待愛盛開那一個黎明
一定會有 美麗的愛情

你是窗外 另外一片風景
在你眼裡 我是什麼關系
你的呼吸 存在我的愛情裡
何時能誠實面對自己

我們從不開口那個原因
那一句 我愛你 
永遠像少了勇氣
別人都說我和你之間的關係
沒有人相信 只有關心

我們從不證實那個問題
那一些是非題 
總讓人傷透腦筋
我會期待愛盛開那一個黎明
一定會有 美麗的愛情

我們從不開口那個原因
那一句 我愛你 
永遠像少了勇氣
別人都說我和你之間的關係
沒有人相信 只有關心

我們從不證實那個問題
那一些是非題 
總讓人傷透腦筋
我會期待愛盛開那一個黎明
一定會有 美麗的愛情

看展览的那一天 Exhibition


李老师和暐騰慑于101大厦前
Mr. Lee and WeiTung, taken in front of Taiwan 101

台湾很棒,难怪台湾的电子业会比马来西亚快了八年。 那天,李老师带暐騰和我到世贸去看“台北国际秋季电子展览会”和“台湾国际RFID应用展”。很棒。照片中的是李老师和暐騰。李老师是公司的老板, 但我和暐騰都是称他为老师。 暐騰是老师的得力助手,在公司里,不管大小事务他都懂得怎么解决。虽然他与我同年, 但他的知识比我高很多。惭愧...

10-10-2007, Mr. Lee brought WeiTung and me attended two exhibitions near Taiwan 101 Tower. The two exhibitions are "Taipei International Autumn Electronics Exhibition" and "Taiwan International RFID Application Exhibition". It is really an eye opening experience for me. :) In the photo, Mr. Lee is standing on the right while the one standing next to him is WeiTung. Mr. Lee also known as my boss in the company. However, WeiTung and me used to call him as "teacher". WeiTung is an all-rounded person in the company. Although he is same age as me, but his archievements are much better compare to mine.

台风 Typhoon

屈指一数,我在台湾也有一个月了吧。 在这一个月里,我真的很幸运。 或许老天爷知道我未曾经历过地震和台风。所以他让我有机会经历了一次地震和两次的台风。根据这里的朋友,那一次的地震是大地震。 而当时的我还以为是自己头晕了。 两次台风,第一次的韦帕台风(Wipha)不会很严重。但是我很幸运,因为第一次的台风让我学到了该学的。所以在第二次的柯罗莎台风(Krosa)才不会成为台湾历史上第一位因为台风而饿死在家的马来西亚人。这两天,是第二次台风侵袭台湾。这一次的台风很可怕。电视的新闻主播有说这是台湾今年最严重的。也是这三年来最严重的一次台风。谢天谢地,我还活着。但是,为那些在这次台风丧命的难民致哀, 也希望他们的家人能走出这次的伤痛。

Had been stay in Taiwan for quite a period of time. I am really lucky. May be God knows that I haven't experience earthquake and typhoon in Malaysia. So He give me opportunities to experience myself during this 1 month. I experience ONE great earthquake (my friend told me that the earthquake I experience is considered as GREAT) and TWO typhoon. The first Typhoon Wipha is not that serious but She is meant to prepare me for the second typhoon which hits Taiwan these two days. The second typhoon, Typhoon Krosa, is quite serious. According to the news reporter, it is the most serious within this year or even within these three years. Well, I am not sure how true it is. But from what I can see, it is really serious. :) And thanks God, I am alive. :)
