姐妹情深

欢庆雯雯归国,我们简单及隆重地与一堆草莓一同庆祝了。
谈天重来就是我们姐妹帮最爱做的事。
当然随着岁月,姐妹帮里多了些‘兄弟’。。。
vv的老公,欣欣的男友(虽然他甚少出现)
述说天南地北,说着雯在印度的奇遇。

‘我们白种人像动物园里的动物一样被人欣赏。。"
  “那儿什么饮料都加奶,甜得不得了。”

还说了好多好多。。。
有朋友在身边真好。。。
品尝着可口的草莓。。。
述说着深深的姐妹情。。。

今晚的夜,连星星都笑了~~~

Gracious Goodbye...

Been googling on what were those best words for retirement.
What does retirement means?
Old age? The end of a workaholic? or starting of another phase of life?
Personally? I preferred to believe that is time to spend all the money I have, wisely, and do something that i always wanted to, while i still can.
It was not a very good day with the sudden black out in IMU.
Things became slightly out of control, and the organizer started to freak out on whether the long planned event can be carried out smoothly....and then ... God just heard our prayers when He need to ~
Lights ON, air cond ON....
It was a long awaited day for Dr Mak.
Spending more than half of his life in education field, he honouredly retired at age of 70.
It was a day with lotsa wishes, presents and happiness.
Guests walked in with smile...
Dr Mak walked in with smile too ~
The event started off with a short video clip and brief opening by our Miss Mcee..
Followed by Prof PP's gratitude to Dr Mak and also a humour speech by Prof Ong Kok Hai..
Then, Dr Mak took the Mic..
It was hard for him to be on stage facing all of his old mates, old buddies, and had to farewell them, with smile but not tears....I knew he tried to hold back his tears.

"This morning, there's a sudden black out in IMU, then i thought that maybe IMU dun wan me to leave...but then suddenly the light on back...then i think ...may be is really time for me to leave...I spent 14 years working in IMU, there's a lot of memories in every corner ...i remembered those days we celebrated CNY together, having lunch together, and back to those days where IMU is no where like what we have now. There's only 3 staffs for pharmacy faculty, and the open concept office is real OPEN as in there's only table and chair...not even cubicles. People that walked in will thought that I'm jus PA for someone. And then slowly, we grew together... more staffs, more course.. I would like to thank IMU for giving me a chance to take up a lots of high post in IMU...and also thanks to all my colleague for working with me so long and giving me a lot of supports and helps along the way..I know speech should be like mini skirt...the shortest the best...." (laughs and applause from the floor) " I would like to thank everyone for giving me this small yet warm farewell...at first i thought wanted to leave quietly but IMU insisted for this farewell...and yes.. I appreciate it a lot. Thank you especially to Mai Chun Wai for organizing this. Left one old mak , we have a new mak in imu (same chinese surname). Hopefully this young Mak can contribute to IMU too...Thank you everyone..." speech ended with not only applause but also lotsa gratitude , thankfulness and heavy heart.
We clapped not because how good his speech was, but how much had he sacrifice for students, staffs, colleague and IMU.
He worked quietly behind ....without noticing anyone...without hoping for anything in return. Yes, he might not recognise his student well, but we will never forget how he left his footprint in our life.

I was sitting far back from the stage, seeing this old man, standing on the stage, with his hair all white, some wrinkles here and there over his face, yet still energetic. Every strand of white hair and wrinkles symbolised his path for his past 70 years. Yes, we might not be all of his life, but we definately marked a pit stop...a colorful pit stop on his life.

I try to recall all his good and bad.... and all I can remember was how funny he used to be while he was giving lecture, how responsible he can be when it comes to tutoring...and to my own surprises...i remember only his GOOD....

Our gratitude to Dr Mak can never be replaced by only presents, or slides, or speeches...
But we sincerely wishes him all GOOD....
healthy, happy, cheerful , relax....

Life doesn;t end with separation nor farewell but it brings hope for another reunion....

Before i left...I saw Dr Mak was happily smiling...and having photographing sessions with his students, with his friends....Deep inside I know is heavy hearted for him to say goodbye....but he replaced tears with smiles...waving with hugging....

Yes, we too...will farewell you with Smile..
Goodbye ~

笔墨情

假期最开心的事,莫过于重拾会我的爱好,阅读。
通常只限于华语刊物,上至散文小说,下至报纸副刊;
偏爱于感动人心之刊物。
喜欢读者能以篇子只语,就能感动人心。
心随着作者笔下人物而起伏;
随着主角不幸的遭遇而落泪;
随着幸福快乐的结局而欢欣;
可以为了看小说而无眠;
最爱的,就是看着我爱的书,喝着我爱的咖啡。

曾想过,可有那么的一天,我也能令众生,倾倒于我笔墨下?
但,语法,仍欠那没一点;
思路也欠那没一点;
创意,也欠那么一点;
综合那么多的一点,嘻嘻。。。
看来前往以一支笔来赚钱的生涯还真是欠那么的一点。。。

有一段时间,没在看小说了;
因为,一栽头看,总是无法自拔;
最近,仍在忙课业,‘无法自拔’的事不能作,
因它会让我有罪恶感。

所以,爱上了副刊。
名人名句,令人启蒙不少。

张柏芝说:“人呢,遇到不好的事,不要觉得自己很惨,应该感谢,感恩;因为是上天对你的安排,当你坦然走过,走回高出,蓦然回首,那个过程更加值得欣喜。”
她,说得动听。

李商隐曾写 : “ 锦謐无端五十妶,一弦一柱思华年。
                                  庄生晓梦迷蝴蝶,望帝春心托杜鹃。
                                  沧海月明珠有泪,蓝田日暖玉生烟。
                                  此情可待成追忆,只是当时已惘然。”

人生如曾有过那么镶嵌于心中的感情,还有遗憾吗?

多读多听多写,说不定真的有那么的一天;
我,也能以笔墨,以敲键盘,感动人心,脍炙人口。

是恶魔?还是天使?

喜欢当天使还是魔鬼?
曾经,我是一个天使,乖巧得无人能敌;
从不要求买玩具;母亲要我做的,一定做足。
从来不会所不,任何人的要求,都一定全力以赴;
从不在放学后偷溜出去玩;
从不没有礼貌;
品行永远甲等;
功课永远前三;
那时的我,温柔得像天使。

随着年龄的增长,开始与社会接触。
复杂的社会,容不下善良的天使。
人善被人欺,这句话不无道理;
你不欺人,并不代表别人不会在你头上动土。
再不食人间烟火的天使,也被迫从容,妥协了。
有时候,环境迫使我们长大。
险恶让人不得没有提防心;
外头的世界到处危机重重;心怀不轨的人到处都是;
打劫,强奸,殴打事件天天上演;
天使已经没有办法露出灿烂的笑容;
天使已经历经沧桑,无以招架快速转变的社会。
天使开始披上了恶魔的衣裳。
雪白的翅膀,染上了灰色的尘埃;
甜美的笑容多了一份虚假;
单纯的心多了提防的枷锁;




                                                   天使当上了虚有外表的恶魔。
                                             恶魔只在必不得以的时候才会出现;
                                             在所爱的人面前,天使依旧是天使;
                                                 哪怕翅膀不再白;笑容不再甜;
                                               心,永远,保留着那么一片纯真。


                                                          武装成恶魔的天使,
                                                                   仍是天使。

《题都城南庄》

唐朝崔护,《题都城南庄》

去年今日此门户,
人面桃花相映红,
人面不知何处去,
桃花依旧笑春风。

曾几何时,我也在唐诗三百首。
桃花依旧笑春风,
春风,扑鼻芳香,令人迷恋。
身边的人,去去留留;
身边的物,变幻无穷;
只有思念,不曾停歇;
回忆,袮补了无眠的夜;

曾那么的一时,我们并肩作战;
无为你我,任性妄为;
呼吸着快乐的气息;
享受着忙碌的疲惫;
朵颐着垂綖的美食;
追逐着时尚的尖端;

回忆总是快乐的。
但,快乐不会停止;
因为亲爱的朋友们,
又回来了。
我开始见到了,那即将被填满的友谊,
笑声将把沉睡的心再次唤醒;
快乐将我沉溺于美梦,

桃花不只是在笑春风了;
我们即将在桃花路上,
再次的任意挥洒我们的青春!

期待我的周末~

女人理念

晃一晃,有一个月没写部落格了,并非没有灵感,只是太懒了。
颓废了大概两个星期,回到了我可爱的故乡。
怡保,山明水秀。。。。
喜爱星期日与家人窝在一起的感觉。
睡到日上三竿,跳过了早餐,偷了一口弟弟正在吃的油条,回到了儿时打架抢食物的情形。
很快到了中午,刚巧外婆与阿姨到访,便搭了趟姨丈的便车,一同去吃了午餐。
在车上,外婆,阿姨与妈妈七嘴八舌的谈论起谁的同事嫁了什么人;谁的儿子又娶了谁;
然后,阿姨开始语重心长地提醒我,要嫁,得找一个可靠的人嫁,嫁得不好不如不嫁。
突然,鲜少八卦的姨丈也加了一把嘴:“找个医生嫁了吧!”
妈呀,姨丈也太看得起我了吧!
嫁,谈何容易啊。
随着年龄的增长,无疑地,会开始担心嫁不出去的问题,但却只至于担心;
然后祈求上帝,赐我一个如意郎君。
嫁得不好,被别人说三道是;
嫁不出,也被别人指指点点;
人的这张嘴,这条舌,可真是杀人不见血。

哪个女人不期望一段美好姻缘;
哪个女人不奢望一个如意郎君;
哪个女人不渴求一场梦幻婚礼;
哪个女人不是在秉持着那么一点的信念,相信世界上的某个角落仲有那么一个‘他’,承载着满满的爱,打算无私地传递给你,用爱包容你,疼爱你。。。
因为有心,因为有信,也因为有爱,我们有了期待。
期待得到也许奢侈的幸福;
期待那妙不可言的爱。

愿有情人终成眷属,单身人找到归属,让我们一起美梦成真吧。
