感谢古越遗民, 我又在Gurney Plaza的大众书局破费了。这次买了弘一大师的自传和圣严法师的书,还有一些图文并茂的中国历史书。
什么时候爱上书?还记得小时候,姐姐是第一个让我接触到华文书的人,当时爱看故事,尤其是中国历史人物的故事。印象中除了明姨买给我的启蒙佛书,姐姐借我的一些故事书,还有小学图书馆的零零散散的故事书外,童年还不算跟书很有缘。
六年级时,作了一件自己很难以置信的事,我竟然挑战《三国演义》、《东周列国志》和《红楼梦》三本古典名著,现在想起来真有点不自量力。
最先读的是《东周列国志》,虽然很多国名和人名搞不懂,不明白为什么有人那么笨可以为了一个女人断送江山,搞得家破人亡;可以为了一时意气大兴干戈弄得民不聊生;可以为了“霸主”的虚名斗得你死我活;秦国强盛,大敌当前,六国还可以互相暗斗而不是团结抗敌;但是基本情节和故事还是看得懂的。
《三国演义》属于半文半白,所以看起来还勉强能够明白。不明白的字眼和词汇,我就三十六计“溜过”算了。尤其是当看到一大堆文人诗词时,我都会跳过不读,反正都不会明白他讲什么的。由于年纪还小,注重的都是打打杀杀的刺激场面,爱的都是轰轰烈烈的英雄,没有多留意其实故事里头隐含着许多做人的道理和管理的秘诀。还记得当时看到关羽战死荆州麦城时,我竟然还会流眼泪呢!当时心里的忠臣只有刘备,把曹操当成天下第一大坏蛋。后来长大了,涉猎的史书多了,才发觉原来好认未必全好,坏人未必全坏,大家都只是在历史的棋盘上下棋的人,赌着一生的命运。
《红楼梦》只看了十个回合,就弃甲投降了,因为有很多情情爱爱的场面想破头脑也不明白。
上了预备班,由于课程实在太容易了,因此有了很多时间可以读书。我念的培南中学附近有一间州图书馆,里头华文藏书蛮丰富的,我每个星期至少会到那里寻宝一次。开始的几个月,我恶补了许多中国历史,把整套中国历史演义看完了,掌握了整个中国历史的基本脉络。当时还拜读了蒋介石写的一些分析中国历史著名战役的书,看得似懂非懂却兴趣盎然。后来姐姐介绍我读了人生中第一部武侠小说--《倚天屠龙记》, 从此我就沉迷于书香世界,无法自拔了。金庸的小说真的会让人着迷,看了一部有一部;我已经把整套金庸的作品看过3遍了,计划着明年看第4遍!
由于当时真的很有空,我不知看历史书和武侠小说,姐姐带我去过怡保的大众书局后我更是什么书都看,大小通杀。当时比较着迷的有象棋书、气功、书法,还有刘庸、张永庆等作家的青少年作品。看着看着,把懒惰眼也“练成”了。(懒惰眼是一种近视的现象,患者会有一只眼睛近视明显比较深,另一只眼比较浅;原因是看书是太过注重其中一只眼的运用。我现在是左浅右深。)当时一年看将近70本书左右,鼎盛时期真的是手不离卷的。
原本以为这是个游泳池,我只是个业余的游泳者,谁知道踏进去后才发现原来这是个大海!而我,至今仍然在这个书海中畅游,寻找自己的方向,享受着阅读的乐趣。偶尔遇到同道中人,就交换一下心得,问一下路,然后又孤身上路了。也真该感谢姐姐,否则我也不知道这里有个那么好玩的世界!

诺曼底登陆
10:30分
黑色军团在卡米卡杰将军带领下,发动了第一次攻击。由于士兵人数不足,加上敌人使用了高科技武器电气网,黑色军团攻下了几座城池后,攻势受阻,暂时鸣金退兵。由于训练有素,黑色军团没有任何损伤。
11:10分
卡米卡杰将军再次发动攻势,这次带来了让人闻名丧胆的“金钟罩”军团,攻势一场凌厉。由于敌人疏于防范,加上电气网对金钟罩军团毫无作用,黑色军团又成功打下了多个城池,把敌人的国土捣得千苍白孔。敌人见势不妙,便暂时撤退了。
1:30分
四周一片黑暗,卡米卡杰将军再度率领黑色军团,勇敢的摧毁敌军。这次更加顺利,因为天色黑暗,敌人再度没有防范,结果被打得七窍生烟,束手无策。正当卡米卡杰将军得意洋洋之时,敌军突然祭出杀手锏--生化武器烟!乖乖不得了,金钟罩军团虽然不怕生化武器烟,但普通军队却受不了攻击,纷纷撤退。卡米卡杰将军不得不暂时收兵。
3:30分
卡米卡杰将军不甘败绩,发动了著名的“诺曼底登陆”战役。这次是从床的底下绕过左边出来攻击,恰恰好避过了床右边的生化武器烟。这次战役出其不意,效果显著,敌人简直欲哭无泪,还手无力,投降无地。黑色军团不断发出恐怖的“四面楚歌”,将敌人重重包围,慢慢围歼,肆意凌辱,惨不忍睹。
5:00分
正当黑色军团乐不思蜀的凌辱敌人时,突然间天崩地裂,一声巨响,乖乖不得了了!敌人祭出了刚研发的神风无敌扇,其风力大无比,一下子把黑色军团都扫出了战场。由于敌人的神风防守的密不透风,黑色军团终于还是攻不进去,只好徘徊战场边缘伺机而动了。
7:00分
天明时分,黑色军团战斗力大减,加上身上载满了沉重的战利品,终于被敌人轻易用“如来神掌”解决了。余众赶快逃离现场,卡米卡杰将军不知去向,历史改写了!
我拖着疲惫的身子,看着血迹斑斑的衣服(打蚊子时留下的痕迹),心中无限感慨。不是我要杀你的,连蚊香都无法制服你,我能怎样呢?愿你早日超生。。。
注:黑色军团= 蚊子
电气网 = 电蚊香
生化武器烟 = 传统烟蚊香
神风无敌扇 = 把电风扇开到最大,就可以体会到了
如来神掌 = 双手掌也,打蚊子最好用
金钟罩军团 = 不知哪儿来的新蚊子,竟然可以在蚊香上面翩翩起舞,非常顽固。以前不曾在这里
出现过的。

写意星期六
一大早,我就做了想做很久却没有做的事。起床后不久,我就到赛波利亚的游泳池晨泳,练习一下生疏好久的三脚猫游泳技巧,直到被管理员发现原来我进错游泳池为止。(原来那个泳池是要付管理费的,公共的泳池在另一边厢,我搞错了)
接着,我又写意地到外头吃了两个印度面包(roti telur + roti kosong) ,和亲爱的拉茶小姐谈天,然后买了份报纸溜回那个泳池旁的沙滩椅坐下。不能游泳,总可以坐下看报纸吧!这时的气氛十分宁静,旁边有着潺潺的流水声,前方是平静的泳池,偶尔被风击起小涟漪。阳光微弱地照在我的身上,感觉棒极了!我手里拿着报纸,脑里思考着和周围环境十分不协调的国家大事。社会罪案益发增加,手法越来越残酷,以巴和平遥遥无期,大马政治闹剧不断重复,这是什么世界?无论如何,没有经历实际情况的我们,就只能像我那样,悠闲地“品尝”着别人的遭遇。
当太阳照在我的头上时,我意识到应该离开了,不然我就会变成BBQ的配料了(烤狗肉)。这样一个写意的星期六早晨,希望常常有。好好,珍惜现在。

All The Best, Addy!
Last week is a happy week for Nokia Lab people, because we celebrated Sze Yin's birthday happily.
This week is a moody week for Nokia Lab people, because we have to say farewell to Addy.
Only after Addy told us he is going to quit, than we realize that he had actually became part of our daily life. Everyday we can see Addy in the lab punctually, doing work seriously, and joking cherishly. The moment we started to get closer to each other, is the moment that he is going to leave. But nevermind, at least you keep a clean record -- you haven't show your "another" side, but we all newbies already shown.... haha...
No matter how, we will remember you, and hope you do that too.
All the best in your new career and good luck in all the tests you face in future. Miss your smile a lot!
Research route is not easy, so the remainders in Nokia Lab, lets work together, we will be successful one day! Addy, work hard too...

Nokia Lab Party@Sze Yin BIRTHDAY!!!(Part 2)
Why my birthday still need me to cook....Min Zhi is a good cook....nice “fried bread-prawn”
What are the two of them doing in my room? Why they screamed and shouted when all of us are cooking at the kitchen? Why Kok Cheng look so tired.... Oh... they are "making love".... After "making love" with Bok Jia, Kok Cheng seems regret, they are talking about this now...
I am very cute.... I am Mr Cutie....
Yes....this is the "Love" they made... The love shape....
Mr Ng (Bryan)....sir...i know u r explaining something complicated, but no need to show all the gestures out gua...
Yeah...Makan lor.... Ok lar...let u take first lar....
Kar Chong: Hehe....no body see me eating...nyummy..
Sze Yin: Yee.....why take photo...i haven't prepare ler...
Haha..these are what we have... Bottom left is brocolli i cooked, middle is Honey Dew bought by Director Ben, Top right is ABC soup i boiled, and bottom right is the BEST---world renowned Min Zhi's Roti Goreng Udang! Of course, these will not satisfy us, so we have...the Great Kentucky Fried Chicken!
Tengok...Siapa punya kaki? Wei...we got 10 persons...why there are 11 legs? The extra leg at top right corner....belongs to who?
Sze Yin: What? Another surprise ah?
Bryan: Eh...dun worry, i am not proposing to u....i am just appointed to hand the cake to u..hehe
I know they are going to head dunk me, but what can i do? Hahaha..everything will be all right..arrrhhhhhhh......
This is how the cake looks after great head dunking..... eeeaarrkk...still can eat ah?
In fact, we ate it, taste good! Just that it feels a bit oily, perhaps Sze Yin never wash face for long time already...haha!
Moral Of The Story:
1st --- GREAT jobs only come with COOPERATION!
2nd --- Can we trust our closet friend? (Haha..joking only...) :P
Addy: See what see....never see handsome guy wash plates before ah!
3rd: If you donno how to act, and you never cook, then better give some other contribution, if not you will end up like him....washing plates, alone, haha....
Nokia Lab Party@Sze Yin BIRTHDAY!!!(Part 1)
话说,今天是Sze Yin 的生日,我们Nokia Lab一伙人怎么会忘记这个重要的日子呢?于是,宇宙无敌终极大导演---Ben早在三个星期前就开始策划了,要早一天跟她庆祝生日。就这样,我们精心演出了一幕“引狼入室”的戏。。。
Today is Sze Yin Birthday, how can we Nokia Lab Buddy (NLB) forget such an important person and date? Therefore, our dear THE GREAT DIRECTOR IN THE UNIVERSE --- Ben already planned the celebration 3 weeks ago. Under the direction of Ben, we performed a well-planned movie to "cheat" Sze Yin to come to my apartment....
第一幕:
Sze Yin 的好友Min Zhi 老早就越好了她,说昨天晚上一起吃饭(这么早就越好,摆明是给了暗示)。于是,MZ 一早就把精心准备好的蛋糕和食物送来我家安顿,然后大家若无其事地去上班了。我12点就溜回家了,因为家里的煤气不早不迟,刚刚好用完了,Cyberia的杂货店有刚好没开,只好劳烦Ben载我去Dengkil买了。为了煲汤,也为了顺便可以“吃蛇”,我留在家里。这煲汤足足煲了3个小时,够火候了!
To make sure that Sze Yin doesn't have any appointment a day before her birthday, Min Zhi already booked her for dinner long time ago. ( Isn't it strange to book people so early? Haha... nearly leak the plan") Min Zhi moved all the food to my house very early in the morning, then we all pretend working in the lab "seriously", like normal day... But i already "snaked" out very early, and get Ben to help me buy the gas in Dengkil. To make sure that the soup is a quality one (and also to make sure i can be lazy lying on the bed), i choose to stay at home.... The soup was cooked for 3 hours, must be a very nice one, haha!
第二幕:
我亲爱的housemate,Ivan出场了!他在Yahoo Messenger里装病,说不舒服,好像要吐要吐那样,Sze Yin 开始时半信半疑了。不过因为他之前才病过来,所以也就不疑有它。
It's time for my dear housemate---Ivan to act liao! He was such a good actor, he can cheat Sze Yin that he is sick without actually showing his face (in fact he use Yahoo Messenger) ...Wow!Sze Yin was not believed totally at first, but since he experince this before, so at the end she choose to believe Ivan.
第三幕:
轮到新人出场了!Kok Cheng 和Addy 假假要去喝下午茶,老早就溜了出来。出来前还喊了一声“喝茶咯”,怕死人家不懂他要走了似的。。结果他们俩和Bok Jia会合后,就到外面等候Ben的到来。Ben 也是老早就跑出去买东西了,约好5pm集合到我家来。就这样,Nokia Lab 的人早早不见人影了。。。
Hmm...it's time for the newbies to show face liao! "Come on, let's go TEA!!!" Kok Cheng shout like want the whole world to know that they are "actually" going for tea..... Addy and Bok Jia followed him out the lab, and heading outside to wait for Ben. Ben was buzy buying things, and finally reached campus on time, and picked them up. Nokia Lab was very quiet today, everyone seems to back so early... strange....
第四幕:
不对!怎么Kar Chong 还在Lab里头?他不知道我们的计划吗?MZ赶紧向我通风报水,让我把Kar Chong 调走了--幸好发现的早,没有穿帮。。。
Oh NO! Why Kar Chong still in the lab? No body tell him he should leave early? Haha....fortunately Min Zhi told me about this, then i quickly urge him to come. This fella, nearly leak the plan....errrrrkkkk...
第五幕:
大导演Ben到了,其他人也陆续到了我家,于是大家便乒乒乓乓的准备食物和礼物了。突然,我们发现到戏里的主角之一--装病的Ivan还在公司,糟糕了!于是,大家拼命催促他赶回来,总算让他在Sze Yin来之前赶到,还差10分钟而已就穿帮了,真险!
Finally, our GREAT DIRECTOR Ben reached... so everyone "ping ping pong pong", all buzy preparing for food and present. Suddenly, somebody mentioned about the GREAT INVISIBLE ACTOR---Ivan.... Aiks...he is still in office, i quickly called him to rush back....hew... he finally back just 10 minutes before Sze Yin they reached.
第六幕:
客串的Bryan跟着MZ 和 SY上了车,准备要去吃晚餐了。突然间,我收到了misscall,是时候演戏了!我不慌不忙地躲进了厕所,清了清喉咙,打了个电话给MZ。“哈罗,Min Zhi 啊,你等下有空吗?”“什么事?”“噢,Ivan 病了,很严重,吐得很厉害,可以帮忙载他去看医生吗?我一个人搞不定他。”“Sze Yin在驾车哦,我问一下他,我们等下就来”。。。。。于是,我就这样把刚要去吃饭的他们调过来了。(MZ 一路上绞尽脑汁想办法骗SY上来,Bryan则全程拿着报纸盖住脸偷笑,差点被它穿帮了。。。)听说沿途上,她们两个女生竟然可以猜测Ivan生病的原因,出了十个似模似样的理由,更佩服明知道是假装的MZ还可以那么敬业,哈哈。。。
Innocent Bryan followed Min Zhi and Sze Yin to the car, and heading towards their dinner. Suddenly, I got Min Zhi miss call… I calmly hide into the toilet, and clear my throat… “ Hello, Min Zhi, are u free later?” “ Why ler? We are going for dinner wo…” “ Oh, Ivan was sick, he seems very serious, vomiting…can you help me bring him to see doctor?” “Sze Yin is driving, I ask him first, we will come soon…” So, I successfully directed them to my house. (Min Zhi was cracking her head to think of words to direct Sze Yin to my unit, but Bryan was covering his face with newspaper, cos he can’t control to laugh at our act…haha…) On the way, both girls was discussing on 10 funny reasons why Ivan fall sick…oh my Buddha… Min Zhi is indeed the best actor, she already know this is a joke, still can act like real one…haha….GENG!
第七幕:
“好了,到了,你们上去吧,我在这里看住车”“不要啦,一齐上去啦,WaiKong说Ivan很严重,好像要我们去扶他”“那你们两个人就够啦,为什么还要我去?”“哎呀,不要紧啦,上来等一下啦,搞不好Ivan还在厕所解决着呢。。。”“这样啊。。。” 经不住最佳女演员MZ的不断纠缠,SZ终于跟着上来我的Apartment 了。
“OK, reached already. Two of you go upstairs to get Ivan, I stay here. ” “No lar, we go together lar, Wai Kong said Ivan is very serious, need people to hold him” “But two of u already enough rite?” “Aiya, nevermind lar, we donno he still in toilet or not, maybe will need to wait long, come up to wait lo…” “Like that ah….” After long persuasion, Sze Yin finally surrendered and follow 2 of them come up my apartment..yeah….
第八幕:
Eh...Wai Kong said they are coming...why so long one....aiyoyo...very sien ler.....faster lar...
“DingDong”“噢,来咯。。。。”我假装很紧张的掏出了锁匙,开了门,神色慌张地引他们上楼,顺便叫SZ去厨房帮我拿药和水(还没看医生,哪里来的药?)SZ 不疑有它,就这样开了厨房的门。。。 "Surprised!!!" 。。。Sze Yin 有点错愕,过了一下子才会过神来,原来大家都躲在这里等她呢!装病的Ivan正拿着相机猛拍,哈哈,我们总算大功告成了!
“Ding Dong” “Oh, coming liao!” I pretend to be very nervous, and opened the door. I directed them up the stairs, and asked Sze Yin to do me a favor, bring Ivan’s medicine and water (haven’t see doctor, where got medicine? I nearly failed lar…) Sze Yin never suspect anything….so when she opened the door, “Surprised!!!” everyone jump out! Ivan, the one who pretend sick, was taking video happily….haha…phew…. we finally finished the acting successfully!!!
Hahaha...finally you come! Yeah....surprised!!!
就这样,经过大导演Ben一手策划的剧本,演得非常成功!于是大家分成了两批,一批在厨房忙煮东西,一批则在大厅讨论刚才的剧本和玩牌,我的屋主Kian Foh 也识趣地走了。
So, those who need to cook, is cooking, those who are not cooking are playing cards and discussion about the GREAT DRAMA just now…haha…..
Those who cook and those who enjoy... Is this fair?.............. :P ...... No lar...later u all know the consequence...ngek ngek ngek....

没有椰子的椰子屋@爱尔兰咖啡
周末为我的好友思嫣提早庆祝生日,到了椰子屋新家去。没错,就是在马六甲那间,现在在吉隆坡开了分店,就在Pudu 车站对面那排店的后面那排店。
新椰子屋的摆设装潢
老板John Rock (庄若)是个著名的诗人,在国际上也小有名声。没想到他还会认得我和发亮的猪 ,还提起老家伙。以前在马六甲时,我们学会有什么庆功宴或聚会都回到他哪里去的。接触他最多的时候,还是在办全国大专文学奖时,为了找他帮忙评审,还常到他的店消费一下,闲聊一下。他总喜欢把店弄得旧旧的,摆设也有点上海味,加上70-80年代的一些西洋歌曲,非常有味道。在这里吃比萨、喝咖啡、聊天、看书,简直是人生一大享受!
不懂是因为风水原因,还是因为主人家的喜好,他的店都有一个池塘。还记得以前在马六甲那间旧店,我们一伙儿为了第一次华文学会培训成功举办庆功时,我一时好玩把装面纸的椰壳戴在头上。突然一下子失手,也可掉落楼下的池塘去了!为了不让池塘里的鱼“毒死”,我赶紧偷偷溜下去厨房,把椰壳捞上来,那幅画面还被立炜拍了下来。那是五年前的事了。

思嫣和志鹏很早到了,我和发亮的猪才从大众一路奔腾到这里,永昌则在我们吃完了以后才赶到。我们点了这里拿手的达文西,思嫣叫了个Salmon鱼和海鲜Pasta。突然,我眼睛扫过了目录,发现了期待已久的---爱尔兰咖啡!三年前跟思嫣庆祝生日时,也是在椰子屋,不过是在马六甲的。我原本要试试看爱尔兰咖啡的,可是当天刚好没有,我们只好和自己带来的红就看《触不到的恋人了》。现在,终于有机会尝试了!
第一次听说过爱尔兰咖啡,是在蔡智恒的小说里,那也是四年前的事了。当爱尔兰咖啡送上来时,我跟发亮的猪等是傻了眼---怎么是黑色的?喝了一口更加不得了---怎么又苦又涩又有奶味?入口甘香,进入喉咙后有种热腾腾的感觉,进入肚子里更是精神一爽!太棒了,怎么我像是在打啤酒广告?哈哈,原来爱尔兰咖啡是有酒精的,而且是Whiskey,老板说今天的分量比平时重手了。开始那几口我们还强颜欢笑,接下来就发现彼此的脸都开始红了。还没喝到一半,我们就在商讨可不可以打包回去了,因为发亮的猪还要驾车回家。。。思嫣拔刀相助,但仍然于事无补,三个人的脸都通红了。最后,John Rock叫伙计拿了杯Peach Tea 给我们解酒,才算“化险为夷”。虽然酒精有点多了,但是还是很喜欢喝,看来我要背叛我的拉茶,偶尔和一些爱尔兰咖啡幽会一下了。。。
老板John Rock还特地请我们尝尝他们的新产品--煎比萨,是一个意大利米兰的道地小食。哇,味道实在太棒了!如果各位有兴趣尝尝,可以到椰子屋去点这一道比萨,或是等迟一些日子他们推销到KLCC等购物中心时再尝尝。
即将闻名全马的煎比萨。
付账后,我顺手拿了一个宣传的小册子,那是一群小电影制作发烧友得小电影展(不是A片,是短片)。这个老板真不简单,连开比萨店,都离不开文化。看来,马来西亚真的非常需要更多这种富有文艺气息的商人,不只是懂得做生意,也懂得推广文化,让我们的生活少一点铜臭味,多一点文艺气息。

一屁股书债
昨天,和永远发亮的猪到茨场街逛大将和大众书局,又买了两百一十二块钱的书。连同两个星期看《夜宴》时买的两百多块书,这个月共用了RM400++买书。有时候会怀疑自己是不是秦始皇时代焚书坑儒的其中一个人,不然怎么这一世投胎后,每个月都会乖乖把零用钱用来买书,就像定期向书局“纳贡”一样。
记得买书是在中学时期开始的,当时迷上了象棋,就拼命买棋书读,然后学了招数用来为校争光。后来兴趣慢慢延伸开来了,也就变得一发不可收拾了。怡保那间大众书局成了我每个周末消遣的地方,我连那个角落摆着什么样的书都记得一清二楚。没办法,怡保是个文化沙漠,想找个像样的书店都难,书展一年没几次;漫画店倒是很多。
后来第一次自己到吉隆坡“探险”,被我发现了原来传说中的上海书局、商务书局、大将书局等都在茨场街的!那时还在大学预科班,所以时间多的事,偶尔周末会早早从马六甲搭车到吉隆坡,然后从早到晚就在茨场街附近的书店逛,连翻版书店都不放过。后来,神奇哲学爱好者--景贤推荐了在Metrojaya附近的学林书局,更是让我流连忘返!里头都是中国书,数量多到转一个身都会碰跌一堆书的地步。。。还记得当时陪我一起疯狂购书的有室友宇翔、下乡团的维雄和Ken。每次一提到买书,我都是一掷千金的,大学的三分之一零用钱都花在这里了。当时心态很单纯,以为写在书上的知识都是管用的,只要喜欢就会买下,没有太多顾虑。
现在买书已经不再那么疯狂了,毕竟人长大了,也知道什么该买什么不值得买。可是,留恋书局,仍让是我最大的乐趣,相信没有什么经验比得上找到一本好书来得更让我满足的了!可惜,现在要找个伴去逛书局都难了,书友难求哦。。。最怀念的就是跟思嫣逛足三天书局,从茨场街到KLCC Kinokuniya,都是我们曾经回味无穷的地方。
有一天,我会把自己的家变成书海,而自己在海中游泳,人生至乐,莫过于此吧!
"Diving into the ocean of books, enjoy swimming in the sea of great minds" ----- 什么时候,我可以做到呢?
