柯震东来马@Gurney New Wing

我们并不是追星一族,只是听说柯震东到了槟城,就顺便去看看他吧。

明明说好12时正到我妈妈的幼儿园来接我的,时钟虽然没有滴答滴答地响,却不代表时间没有在流。眼看时间一分一秒地过去,手机没有要震动的意思。我想那林震杰,应该是秉着林氏的“乖孤”性格在塔眼花园寻寻觅觅吧。好哇,就让你们找吧,平常我们途经我妈那间在大路旁的幼儿园时我拼命地指给你们看,却不被理睬。

等了一个小时,别忘了我也是姓林的,绝-不-妥-协!我是不会拿起电话先致电的。再过十分钟,我的肚子已开始抗议,无奈的我只好发封简讯问候问候晨鑫,看看他们的车是跌入沟渠呢,还是着火了,怎么这么久还没到。

五分钟后震杰拨电来了。果然,他的确到处搜寻我的位置,一小时后也放弃了。我用有礼貌且文明的字眼罕见地破口把他大骂了一顿。哈哈。




好了,说说柯震东。

我们在渡轮时车子不知何故震动了起来,当时myfm正在采访迟到20多分钟的柯震东,我们顺礼成章地把他叫做“车震东”。哈哈。把他的名字改成这样,有一点下流的感觉。

8时正,活动现场四面八方都是人潮。我们几经辛苦波折终于在舞台的左方三楼有了站立的空间。可那柯震东连影子都没有(当然,人不在,怎么会有影子呢?)。我说过我们不是追星一族,所以我们绝不容忍迟到。晨鑫、震杰和我开始无聊地闲聊,时不时调侃调侃震东兄。好啦,可能是全槟交通瘫痪啦,或者他在吃着炒粿条配煎蕊。

正当我们说的起劲,我们被婉婷发现了。问她是怎么在茫茫人海中(少芬姐应该来吧?)看见我们。她说她看见“那个一直跳跳跳的不就是MATTHEW吗”。奥,我想要更酷的出场。原来她也是来这儿逛逛然后顺便看看东哥。好久好久没遇见她了,总觉得她跟柔仪一样,表现出大方且不拘小节的特质,就像车震东的主打歌《有话直说》一样坦率。婉婷你说你很想念我。真的吗?有点难以置信,从前你是很讨厌我的。其实我也很想念你。=)你其实很好,虽然有点男子气概。

在等他的一个小时半里,婉婷不耐烦了,开始说我比东哥帅啦之类的。哇!我们也一起兴奋地讨论如何在如此恶劣的位置中引起柯震东的注意,这就是所谓的逆境求胜。比如说把水倒下去之类的。我也建议我们一起跳下舞台上。这样不停的讲废话,那种感觉很爽快。我们对着人潮指指点点,不停地笑,就像我们以前在学校一样。换句话说,又是那些年吧?

柯震东的歌,我们喜欢《有话直说》。就在默默地等待东哥时,我们一直重复歌词中的“别沉默!”,等了那么久真的不该沉默。我们打算听他唱一首歌就走人。最后他终于现身了,穿这白色的外套。别问我他帅不帅,就如晨鑫说的“XX,我们等了一小时多,看到的只是他的头发!”。

就这样,我们从停车场骂他骂到北海的东炎面店。

别沉默 没有理由想太多 爱在辛苦也难不倒我 我不想示弱 我爱你 有话直说


也许鼓起勇气说才是真温柔?

图书馆

周六早晨的阳光照亮了蓝蓝的房间,我已洗刷完毕,换上有领衫和长裤,整理着杂乱的书桌。随随便便吃了早餐,提了书包缓缓开门沿着走廊走向遥远的升降机。在升降机的十五秒内,几乎每次都思考所学过的物理向心力和离心力和种种力学的问题,比如说升降机下降时体重会增加之类的(不想这些的时候,就想万一升降机失灵了怎么办呢,如果锁匙掉入门缝再怎么办呢,再来独自一个人时肩膀被拍了一下、十下、二十下呢?总之我有非凡的想象力。哈哈)。十五秒后,升降机门打开,扫视了守候在升降机前的人群,转左走向在外等候的汽车。

那是去年年中起每个周六的生活写照,我们一行人浩浩荡荡地乘坐韦乐的车子前往州立图书馆备战年底的考试。偶尔站起来走动走动舒展筋骨的时候随手翻翻书架上的书,觉得很有趣,但又没时间看,心里说考试完后放长假时一定会来好好充实一番。

日子溜走,阳光、沙滩、戏院、广场、派对占满了考试后的时间表。虽然这些没有书相伴的日子我没虚度了光阴,而且还过得非常充实。因此,回归图书馆的阅读计划就像政府的政策延迟再延迟实施。

做任何事都要有驱动你去行动的刺激。

饿了自然会去找食物。

累了就去睡觉。

为了石油而打仗。

为了金钱而援交。

而追女孩子需要有个对手才会努力些,虽然有时一直认为是两个人的战争,却忘了其实是一个人的决定。哎。

当坚持之苦大过放弃之痛,是放手的时候。

该怎么放,轰轰烈烈地作最后的宣告还是平平淡淡地消失不见。

放哪只手,左手或右手。

许晋谦曾经说,等待也是行动的一部分。他是认为等到最后终会守得云开见明月吧,就像杨过等小龙女一样。但是如果等待已失去了意义呢,是否该放手,也给自己一个机会释怀。

如何取舍,是放是等,还看个人。而我,是看心情。

好了,我写中文博文难免绕圈子。言归正传,眼看新的一年里大家都上学院去了,看他们每天有书读,真是不好受。这一种强大的刺激,再配合我好学的精神,就如当年好汉被逼上梁山,新世纪的好汉也被逼上图书馆了!

你们的物理化学生物数学我才懒得理,我上学之后才碰也不迟。当下,当然是要博览群书才是。我把这个假期该搞好的归成三类:英文时事、修身养性、历史爱好。我希望能把我平常没可能看的书和我很喜欢看的书都看完,但我发现它们太多了,就算我睡觉也读都读不完。

所以我决定每天放工后上图书馆充实充实。

初次回到图书馆还真的有点紧张,深怕一个人在那里会发呆一个小时,回忆那些年奋斗的日子,然后情绪低落地翻阅大本的历史书。结果,图书馆人少得可怜,我并没有伊莫,只是恨不得能马上吞完整本书而已。

这几天,确实增加了不少知识,但我需要正规的教育和固定的时间表。原来自学真的很不容易,需要高度自律和认真。由于我不想就白白浪费阅读的时间,所以会选者性地看。看书时,也绝不抱着走马看花的心态,因而设立了假想考试范围和日期。

在那里遇上了先修班的朋友,他们说我神奇。哈!




原来,知识和智慧是不同的。知识是你读了多少本书;智慧是你用了多少知识。

Bob Dylan - The Times They Are A-Changin'

Recently, I am reading "Steve Jobs" by Walter Isaacson. I quite enjoy the reading, I can always get into the world of the books depicted by the authors using my imagination. I am like zooming into the past of Steve Jobs, just like what you watchin Harry Potter. Haha.

What makes reading the book fun is I can search online the songs and people mentioned. By doing this I can gain more understanding on what the issues discuss in the book and sink deeper into their times. =)

Undoubtedly, Steve Job's favourite singer was Bob Dylan, but he said his performance was not that good in his later years. I have just started to listen to Bob Dylan's songs. This song "The Times They Are A-Changing'" is a very famous song in their generation, and the lyrics are meaningful too.

Steve Jobs used the second phrase as opening during the launch of the first Macintosh in 1984.XD



Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

北海锺灵中学第12届毕业生|聚餐晚宴宣传短片





Nahh! This is the full version of the short clip!

My part is reduced to a few only, and got one screen I was walking from right to left, my head faced the other direction. Can you recognise it was I?Haha, too bad, my big head had blocked You Jing completely from view.XP

It was a nice experience and a priviledge to take part in this short clip.

However, I think they didn't put in the toilet-bombing part in the short clip, which was a 'trend' in their times. And you see 2 guys were punished to stretch their arms straight with Paus in hands, Mr. Ho said he really punished that 2 guys with the same way 10 years ago. That kind of punishment was carried out only once due to the boys bought Paus from the canteen for the girls in class after recess. Haha. The price for being gentlemen.Erm, I think I did buy bread for a girl from canteen after recess time too, or I accompanied her to canteen during lessons, or both. Haha. But normally I asked girls like Rou Yi ah, Yan Fen ah, Fish ah to buy back for me.XD Let them be the gentlewomen. Err, that girl, I am sure she is not that special girl who comes across in your mind. I don't feel like disclosing who she is here due to some reasons, I feel uneasy to do that. She aka dead rope. Got it?XD

Alright, what exciting and unforgettable memories we had, to be recalled after 10 years?If I am to direct a video clip like this, I will include the craziest things I was involved with. We did not bomb the toilets, but we made smoke bombs in the science lab. We were not punished or caught by the authorities,even though we ponteng sekolah and just like that *proud. Haha.

So let's do it!!




Back from the library, after 3rd of December.

Hasta La Vista Neri

Ah, still remember when Neri reached Malaysia this time I was in Youth Camp, her sister asked us out for dinner with her but none of us could. Haha, too bad. I was thinking that she would stay here for quite a long time. Yea, it was indeed a long time, but time flies, remember? And she is now flying too! Flying back to Austrialia.

No, I am not going to fall into nostalgia again. No more reviewing back what she had done with us. I used to know I am too emotional, too sentimental, at least as a guy I am. I can't bear the feeling of losting something, friends, time etc. Last time when I came back to Penang during holidays and went back to KL again, I would feel like crying. The first time I experienced such heart-breaking feeling was in 2001, when I was taken back to my own home, separated from my grandma after living with her for 6 years. Even though we were not far at all, and we still see each other everyday, but I just couldn't bear that. Later on in my life I experienced much more of this.

However this time, I don't feel like emo. Haha. I can imagine Neri's expression when she reads this and she will probably be thinking " What the!? You don't miss me at all?" haha. I do miss you a lot kay, but I am not really going to sit in front of my desk and think it over and over again, picturing your plane flies over my condominium, listening close to any noise from the sky, then only I realize, your plane is supposed to fly towards another direction.XD I can't pretend the airplanes in the night skies are like shooting stars too.Of course we hope you can stay with us for a longer time, but you gotta go.

Why.

I start to learn that you know reaching-leaving, come in and out, is part of parcel of life. We had a very nice time when you were here, we didn't have war and we were perfectly in peace. So, that is not much for me to regret of. You are going to come back, don't you?

I anticipate you arrival, I accept your departure.

I took 17 years to learn about this. We are the sole soujourners on this earth. We came to this world alone ( except the twins in America, whatever they do wherever they go they're together, but perharps not for toilet's time.) Similarly we are going to die alone too. Is there a kingsize coffin? Since we can reach this earth alone, why must we have company every minute? I am not saying we don't need friends, but we must be clear that friends won't forever by your side, even though they are forever alone. Ha.

A few days before you left, you helped to make my 18th birthday celebration a success. It was a great one, I don't know why I keep repeating, haha. The noon time lunch was really a nice plot. XD You all were too clever. I surrender. But I need to clarify here, I was not disappointed for the watermelon cake and lunch k. If you all didn't offer me that in the afternoon I would probably sit at home and wait for the night surprise. Haha.

Now, Neri's not here anymore, QQ and Pokok are in jail, J ,Wee Rock and Mingboy are locked up in the classroom, Yan Fen starts to work, Fish is in the aquarium, the original Citra Team just left Rou Yi and me who are 'free mobile'. I am working too but I am totally free in the afternoon. Haih, how ah Rou Yi? Your mum says she doesn't want to see you at home right, we find something to do ba.

Okay,

 HASTA LA VISTA NERI!!

Underworld : Awakening

Underworld! The first 18 PL movie we watched in GSC LEGALLY!

We will never forget the day, which proved that we're adults once again.

I was already in Lunar New Year ( my dad said saying Chinese New Year is a little bit racist.) holiday mood on that friday, you know when you start to work you will thirst more for holidays to reach by crossing out dates on the calendar ever than during your schooling days.

Pokok was back to drive us out again!! It was so excited, not because of we were going out again, but we were going out like a family. Sitting inside Pokok's Citra you will have that feeling. His car is large and comfy enough to fit 7 persons. We need not to reach a destination by separate cars. The most amazing thing was even though I kept making noise, Pokok could still brought us there safely. Haha.

UNDERWORLD : AWAKENING is a significant movie to me because finally we can enjoy the thrill of an above 18 movie without fear. Let the officers go up and down to check for 'intruders', we are not afraid to show our identity card anymore. Do you still remember a month ago what happened there at the entrance of GSC?15 of us were blocked and chased. 

That friday, when we entered the ticket check point, all of us felt excited. Before that we would be nervous to pass through it, we acted like an adult, we were afraid of being called to show IC. But now on that day, we just headed to it without any plans and strategies, no more what a guy pairs with a girl to act like a couple or any nonsense. We were even hoping that they would check our ICs, we clutched our ICs in hands and ready to 'show hand'. We slowed down our paces, waiting them to call us. However, they seemed like not going to check. Hmm, quite disappointed. At last, they requested our ICs! Yeah! We gladly showed them! In our hearts we thought : " Want to see ah, nahh, see until you're syok!"

Somehow they knew our thoughts, returning us the cards and said " Wahh, baru lapan belas ah." with a grin.

This experience was fantastic! You will enjoy that moment one day if you are still under 18. Be patient. Then you will miss the days when you need to break in like robbing a bank.

Okay~enough adventures. Let's talk about the movie.

In fact I don't like scary and horror movies. If not the sake of 18 PL, I will not risk my heart to be stopped one or two second. Lucikly it was not a ghost movie, or else I would close my eyes until the movie ended. It was just a little bit , er, bloody. Anyway I still could bear it. All I did was picturing myself as a surgeon, I am trained to see all these bloody scenes.

But it was really really bloody. The way they kill, I advise you to choose alternative ways if you want to murder someone one day. Haha.Firstly, you need not to shock yourself with the opened wounds and bones.

I never watch the prequels before. The good part of it was I could still catch up with the story line. It's all about humans, vampires and werewolves again. The war between these creatures in Underworld was far exciting than the Twilight Saga. The way the vampires fight with the Lycans, wow, was much more watchable and cool than how they fight in Breaking Dawn. There were a lot of actions, unlike mere pushing and yelling in Breaking Dawn.

One common thing I found from 2 movies was, all vampires seem to have the same jumping high and fast motion super power. Perharps this is the typical characteristic of a vampire? Just like they are afraid of sunlight and drink blood to sustain life? On the other hand, werewolves are not quite the same. The werewolves in both movies need not to wait until full moon to transform.

Anticipating Resident Evil and G.I. Joe this year!
