The Eternal Spring

It was a fine spring morning
The sky was so blue and the clouds were true white
We walked for a very long distance
To the world from the heaven

The world was so noisy
Yet when I looked up
Seeing from your eyes, the white clouds stayed softly in the wide blue sky
The world turned into tranquil in a second

It was a spring
For an eternity

永恒的春天

那是一個春天的晴朗早晨
天很藍,雲很白
我們走了很長很長的路
從天上來到了人間

人間很喧嘩
可我一擡頭
看見你眼裡的寬廣藍天和輕輕停駐的白雲
世界    就安靜了下來

那是春天
在永恆裡邊

The Sweeter Fence (28 Nov 2023)


How many seeds were put in

How many times of watering and weeding

I have all forgotten


How beautiful of the blooming

How happy of the bees and butterflies lingering

I am looking forward

自然同窗(24 Nov 2023)

It was a beautiful evening reminding me of Liang Wern Fook's prose, 《自然同窗》.

Baked Garlic Tomato Pancake (23 Nov 2023)

For no reason - maybe just because I have seen the oven too frequently - I decided to bake a garlic tomato pancake at noon yesterday. The ingredients included medium protein wheat flour (normal flour), sea salt, half of a garlic, a tomato, some black sesame oil (because the olive oil was finished in using...), and water - that's all. Without the direction of an oral, hand-written, printed or online recipe, I cooperated quite well with the ingredients which were all in "agak-agak" portions. After mixing them together successfully, I sent them into a hot room at "agak-agak" hot temperature - as long as they are cooked, then it would be no problem at all for me to eat them - I always think so.

You can see it looked quite like human food from the picture. Although the heart-shape was obese and a little bit irregular at its left side, it was still a heart-shape. So this finished product was in good shape.

From the taste aspect, the garlic tasted like garlic, the tomato tasted like tomato, the flour tasted like textured pancake, so it was flavoursome. 

Conclusion: This baked garlic tomato pancake had both inner and external beauty, as it was good-looking and good-tasting. Furthermore, it was an artwork, since it was done by the comprehensive reactions and responses of human feeling, imagination and creativity. And, not forgetting too, it was an open-ended experiment that should be implemented into the Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Food Science syllabus in all schools worldwide. 

Good job for such a first attempt!

Raindrops from the eaves 簷前雨 (16 Nov 2023)

During secondary school time, I liked Liang Wern Fook's works, including prose, poems and songs, very much. One of his prose titled "Raindrops from the eaves" 《簷前雨》. Later 簷前雨 became the names of his newspaper column and song too. When it is raining, I always recall this.

The silver-colored oil palm leaves' spine look like the beautiful quills.

A soul in the cold morning

This morning is like a morning in the winter. The coldness woke me up and reminded me of the Taiwan universities hostels that do not have a heater system.

Although I was born in a month that was supposed to be snowing, both my physical default and personalization settings prefer a warm environment. I like the sunshine, I like the lights, I like the warmth. I can do anything under the sun but just sit still in the snow. The coldness is an invisible jail that separates me from the world.

In a silent cold morning, that merely like there is no others in this world, I am wondering how my soul will leave here. Nobody will know this happens because no one is around. (Does the falling of a big tree in the unknown forest create a sound?) Will I be absolutely free to fly away to meet the one I want to meet? Will the person be afraid to see me as a ghost? If I say, "I am not a ghost, but the soul of HSW", will the person believe in me? Trust is not easy to gain and to give. Most people need many many years to build up their trust in others. It is a very big honour if someone known for a short period trusts in you. Same with the vice verse. Certain people may bring you a feeling of comfort and you just feel trust in him/her for everything. The time length of knowing each other is not a determining key factor here. However, in most of the situations, people doubt first.

The body is the house of a soul. Humans leave their houses to work in the daytime. Why not if the souls leave their bodies in daytime too, and later come back in the evening? They will find their soulmates easier then, by surpassing the restriction and interpretation of physical outlook. But people say too, "You will not treasure the things that come easily."

People say this, people say that, people say endlessly. But what you think is the most essential. I don't know why but the drops flow from my eyes. (Does the falling of a big drop in an unknown situation create a sound?)

Open your eyes (13 Nov 2023)

Heard this sentence from the streaming and quickly jotted it down. Perceptive insight is a precious treasure to treasure.

傷心
心傷
一樣嗎?

你快樂
我快樂
一樣嗎?

時間是不回頭的河流
我倒退,會走回到那一天嗎?
我回頭,會看到和那時一樣的風景嗎?
我停下脚步,會有那時的人跟上來嗎?

站在水裏
石頭刺傷了脚
血染成河

站在光裏
光刺痛了眼
淚流如雨

很痛

我知道嗎?

我不知道

Sunshine in the rain

Sunshine in the rain is like smile in the cry.




The Melur (07 Nov 2023)

This afternoon when I was driving out from the TMPoint office gate, I found there were some small white flower plants that had normally been planted at the main road safety islands. The white flowers just looked fine, being an exquisite creature in nature, although they were pretty small. But I never have an opportunity to get it, as it would be dangerous to go down from the car on the main road to go to the safety islands, and also due to the belonging issue - it was not an issue for me to ask for a flower plant branch from a stranger, but should I call the municipal council for a permission to get a roadside white flower plant branch? Well, actually I may try it out, although I can imagine most of the people will say this is a weird action. 

Anyway, the main point was I found it was the one in a million chance of having it! So I did a reverse and embraced the guard's curious eyesight. I told him the reason and he was happy to lend me a knife to cut it. Of course I would never forget to ask for the plant's name. He said they were planted by the cleaners so he was not very sure about it, but most probably they were "melur" or "kemboja" as the flowers were fragrant. 

When I restarted the car engine and really wanted to thank him again, unluckily he had left the guard house. However I will always remember this branch came from the TMPoint office. In the case I lose memory, I think I will be able to check it back here. By the way, after a simple check, I think it is a melur, not a kemboja.

I am really happy for such small things - happy to have a melur branch, happy to know its name, happy to meet a guard who was willing to share, happy to have a chance for hoping its growth, happy to imagine the flowering scenario!

心 | 血

我曾經認爲生命的劇本就是完全由自己親手拿筆寫出,即使有時候現實和劇本有點不同,一切應該還在掌控之内。

但是當我發現我的體質適合吃苦瓜,又發現苦瓜的心是甜的,我覺得生命中不能解釋的事情太多了,而我,我沒有足夠的智慧去面對。

他們說:祂什麽都知道。但是祂爲什麽不讓我知道我想知道的?

熟苦瓜的心是鮮紅色的,你不切開它,是看不到的。切開以後,你看到的是心流著血,還是血凝成了心?

鄰居對我說:要學她,多吃甜,才有kehidupan yang manis.

難道我要開始種西瓜嗎?
