Friendship 友谊


Friendship forged in flood water, distance and time.

Tiew Kheng (top with wife) was a mechanic (used to call him Foreman) whom I got to know through his other brothers. He is the eldest of five brothers.

When he got married to his wife who is from Jawi, Penang 30 years ago, I was the driver who drove him all the way from KL to Jawi to bring back his bride with my trusted Peugeot 504.

Those day a road trip from KL to Penang took 6 to 7 hrs in normal traffic condition. (No express way). The bride was up at 5 am on the wedding day for the ceremony. She was fully dressed in bridal gowns, not drinking any water so that no toilet stop, for the tedious home journey.

Near Kampar, flood water slowed down the traffic. The bridal car was stuck in the jam for about an hour. I admired the endurance of the bride who "survived" the almost 8 hours journey without going to toilet.

Ah Hui is the younger brother of Foreman. At his daughter Pei Pei's wedding on 23-10-2010 , we met up with other 2 old friends, Ah Hai and Alan Ang.

10 years ago, I was having a drink with Alan at a Mamak cafe near Ah Hai's shop. Alan received a call from his wife Caryn that she is in labour and needed him home immediately. They were expecting their first child.

Since then, Alan was busing flying overseas for business (Vietnam, Cambodia, Maldives, Indonesia and New Zealand) and hardly have the opportunity to meet up except catching up a few times through phone.

Finally, we met up at Pei Pei's wedding dinner. "Die die must come for old friend" as Alan said.

We are scattered at four corners of the country (Port Dickson, Kajang, Sri Petaling, Cheras and Kepong) but our friendship endured time and distance.



在淹水,距离及时空中坚韧的友谊。

朝勤是位汽车修理员,我们都称呼他“ Foreman”(最上端照片,和太太)。我是透过他的弟弟认识他的。他是五位兄弟的大哥。

三十年前结婚时,我当他的司机,驾着那时我可靠的标致Peugeot 504 到远在槟城爪夷的新娘迎娶回来。

当年从吉隆坡到槟城,没有高速公路,在普通的交通路况下,也得花上6 到7 个小时。当天新娘一早在五点钟就起床,做好准备开始出嫁的典礼了。过后新娘穿着新娘礼服,全副武装的开始了漫长的回程。新娘一早就不敢多喝水,以免半途要上厕所。

在到了靠近金宝的路上,因为淹水,而造成一个小时的交通阻塞。我非常佩服新娘的耐力,整八个小时都不需要上厕所。

阿辉Ah Hui 是Foreman 的弟弟。23-10-2010 他女儿的结婚宴会上,我们和其他两位老朋友Ah Hai 及Alan 见面了。

十年前的某一天,我和Alan 在靠近Ah Hai 五金店附近的瑪玛档喝着茶的时候,他接到了太太的来电,告诉他即将要生产了,要他马上来载她去医院。他们正等待着第一个孩子的到来。

过后,Alan 一直为工作忙,整天为了业务,常常到国外去,如越南,柬埔寨,马尔代夫,印尼,纽西兰等地。我们只有几次的电话联络,没有机会见面。

我们终于在阿辉女儿佩佩的婚宴上见面了。正如 Alan 说的,无论怎样的忙,为了老朋友,一定要来!

我们各散东西 - 波德申,加影,大城堡,蕉赖和甲洞,但我们的友谊,却能在距离及时空中,继续的保持坚固。

My small car

VW Golf

“ Why ill treat yourself, you can have it now! ”

That was what my wife told me.

We were in a car going to Bangi to see the new phone I intended to buy. In a jest, I said to my wife when (if) I retire next year, I will sell all the 3 cars we are using now and get a smaller car for our daily use (economical).

And I joked that when I die, she will be a rich widow and can afford to buy a big car to use.

That was when my wife interjected. She meant I can buy a big car now... and enjoy! Don't need to keep for her.

wah .... may be I should turn around and go to BMW showroom instead!

Then Adeline who was seated at the back laughed loudly.

" Mom, daddy's small car is a Mini Cooper S ! "

"or a VW Golf !" I added.

So much for a fun Sunday. I got my new phone but not the car.

Mini Cooper S

“为什么要亏待自己,你现在就可以做到”。

这是我太太对我说的。

当时我们正在车上,前往万宜,去看看我要买的新电话。不觉意的我对太太说,明年我退休后(假如),我会把现在所用的3辆车卖掉,然后去买一辆小车,作日常使用。

我也戏说,当我去世后,太太将会很富有,到时她可以买辆大车来享受享受。

就是在这时候,太太插了进来说的话。她是说,现在我就可以去买大车来享受,不必想到留给她什么的。

哗哗。。。那我应该马上把车掉头,去宝马的销售处才对。

这时坐在后面的大女儿 Adeline 在大笑。

“妈咪,爹地说的小车,是迷你古柏 Mini Cooper S...”

“可能是福士伟根 VW Golf ...” 我说。

这是星期天的趣事。我买了新手机,但没有新的大车。

My new toy 我的新玩具


After almost 5 years of being together, I have to say goodbye to my trusted companion Sony Ericsson K 750 i.

From the now obsolete joystick like navikey, I have to get use to the latest touch screen smart phone.

I have tried out iPhone, Blackberry.... not for me. I settled on the latest just-launched Nokia C7.

Features: 3G, AMOLED capacitive touch screen, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS (Garmin) , 8mp camera and many applications.

I got it from my favourite supplier Gilbert Ng in Bangi, 10 minutes from Kajang.










经过将近五年的相处,我不得不向我那可靠的新力爱力讯K750i 手机告别了。

从已经过时的摇杆式到最新的智能触摸手机,我需要很多的改变及适应。

我曾试用过苹果的 iPhone 和黑莓手机,但都不是我要的。最终,我决定诺基亚C 7 型手机。

它的优点是:最新,3G, 蓝牙,无线上网,玻璃镜片,8 mp 相机,卫星导航系统(可当Garmin 导航系统机使用)及多种的软件。

我到相熟的 Gilbert 店里购买。他和太太在离开加影十分钟车程的万宜镇经验一间手机店。

实话实说

最近收到了一则手机短讯:『请为陈赞光神父祈祷』。

没内容,没说明,为陈神父祈祷什么?。。。是不是出了问题,意外,病危。。。

这位传讯者,常常传来不等用的短讯,虽不是全部垃圾,但很多都是再循环的(已经流传好久的讯息),或者古怪不正确的,所以我觉得没需要向他进一步求证。

我想可能我是后知后觉,所以把这讯息放上面子书,看看是否能够得到更多的资讯或答案。另一方面,也用电话联络好多个我认为应该会知道陈神父的状况的人。

三个人,三个不同的故事;六个人,六个不同的故事。。。。还是没有得到满意的答案。

最终真相出来了!一些知道真相的朋友把实话说了出来。

那些不同故事的朋友,他们说的不是假的,他们是从其他的管道得到的“正确”版本。而一些知道的,可能认为这个真相是不可告人,所以不敢说真相,就只好说:“请为陈赞光神父祈祷”。

从这个事件里面,可以看到基督徒的心态 - 报喜不报忧,教会只有好的!

这也可以从最近一年里,纠缠着天主教会的神父娈童及性侵犯的新闻里,看到天主教徒的心态。媒体想要利用这些事件,攻击教会;教会则认为,这些事件,还是低调面对,最好是可以掩盖。

在本地教会,很少提到这些事件,也很少讨论这些事件,有避尔远之,还是不要碰它,或者是这里没有此类事件,所以我们不要谈论。。。。但是教宗打喷嚏的时候,每个人都很关心!

第二次世界大战也结束了超过半个世纪了,最终也得靠有勇气的教宗若望保禄二世在1998年,正式向犹太人道歉,因为教会在看到六百万犹太人被德国人杀害的时候,没有站在公义的立场,护卫犹太人。这是天主教会一个不能除去的污点。

今天我很高兴的在谈到教会的历史时,会谈到改革派的运动,对教会的建设。我不会以马丁路德娶了修女为妻而作为攻击的武器,反而肯定了他对教会改革的贡献。

教会漫长的两千多年的历史里,曾经历过教难(受迫害),也经过内部黑暗的时期,教宗也有很多的腐败史,但我相信教会是耶稣建立的,是圣神在带领着的,她是圣的。人性的腐败,决不能击垮她,『阴间的门绝不能战胜她。。』(玛16:18)。教会是我们成圣的地方。

所以,陈赞光神父最近得了忧郁症,绝不是不可告人的秘密。神父是人,所以也可能会得到忧郁症,就好像你和我般的正常。

在1991年,当已故张学礼神父,从关丹被调任到加影圣家堂时,可能环境的太大改变,他患上了严重的忧郁症。张神父通常都会在休假的时候,退到他熟悉的以前管理过的小堂里,就好像他的避难所般的,心情会比较安静。但有一天,他不能控制他的情绪,而被紧急进入当地的政府医院。我还清楚的记得当是的情形。我们这里的堂区领袖,马上组成一个团队,深夜开车去拯救(接)他,把他送去教会的医院。当时他的情况非常令人担忧。。。。。

在获得专科医生的治疗之下,再加上我们教友团体的悉心照顾(轮班陪伴他),他的状况在一年之内痊愈了。过后,他构思及建造了全马最大,第一间全空调的加影圣家教堂!

张神父自己完全接受本身的状况,勇敢面对,准时吃药,自己调节;另一方面,团体也公开的,坦然的接受了他的状况,全力支持他,大家互相配合,相辅相成,一切完美,阿里路亚。

从短讯到长篇大论 。。。。终究就是要说:说话要说的清楚,讯息要传达的准确,实话实说。不完整及不正确的讯息,会引起混乱,混淆及不必要的恐慌及无谓的猜测。

你们的话该当是:是就说是,非就说非;其他多余的,便是出于邪恶。(玛5:37)

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

最新关于陈神父的讯息:(我认为最可靠的,并且已经放在面子书的讯息,所以转载)

谢谢您。我是伍婷婷,北海善导之母之团团长。久仰大名!
我们(善导之母)在两个星期前开始陈赞光神父星期五斋戒祈祷及参与弥撒。过后,听温神父说陈神父病情好转,对我们来说有多么的感动于天主的仁慈兼顾。为此,我才开始发简讯给区团,以便更加多人加入参与善工。陈神父患忧郁症,温耀仁神父特别申请假期在大山脚圣妇亚纳堂照顾他。为了避免您得到不正确的讯息,故以此告知。

(谢谢婷婷)

A sad loss 痛失

We lost a good dear friend.

Yesterday afternoon while receiving Sibu visitors, I received a call from my friend Cheng Boon from Kebun Baru, near Segamat, Johor.

" See Jiao passed away this morning...!"

It came as a shocker! "what happened?"

"She went into coma a month ago and was admitted to Johor Baru General Hospital. She underwent 2 operations and did not recover ..... she died this morning..."

"Why didn't you inform me when she was admitted?.... at least we can see her for the last time!"

"I didn't inform you because not wanting to trouble you traveling all the way to JB..."

I was angry, I was sad, I was frustrated .... we have lost a good friend and never have the chance to say goodbye to her.

Understanding Cheng Boon's good intention, I did not say much ... after all, things done cannot be undone.

My wife and I left the Pastoral Assembly early in order to make the 4 hours round trip journey to attend See Jiao's funeral wake at Kebun Baru, about 25 km from Segamat.

See Jiao, 46, died of a ruptured brain artery and left behind husband and four sons, all of them are working.

May her soul rest in peace in the Western Eternal Land.


我们失去了一位好朋友。

昨天下午,在招待诗巫访客的时候,接到了朋友黄钦文的来电。

“雪娇在今天早上去世了!”

这真是个晴天霹雳的消息。

“怎样发生的?。。”

“在一个月前,她昏迷而被送进新山的中央医院。。。做了两次手术,但都没有醒过来。她在今早去世了”。

“她进院时,为什么没有通知我们?。。。”

“我不要麻烦你们从吉隆坡赶下来(新山)。。。”

我很生气,很无奈,也很伤心。。。我们失去了一位朋友,连向她说再见的机会也没有。

不过明白了钦文的好意,我没有再说什么。事情发生了就发生了,不能倒回头。

今天我们提早离开了牧民大会,赶着下去来回四个小时车程的哥本巴鲁。它离开昔加末大约25公里。

我们在三时前抵达了亡者的家,慰问了钦文及他们的四个儿子。他们都工作了。

雪娇享年46岁。她的脑部血管生了非常复杂了瘤,过去的十多年里,进出医院好多好多次,也受过了很多的痛苦,未能获得治愈。

不过欣慰的,在过去的整十年里,她的病情没有恶化,但瘤还存在。中央医院也没能够继续的医治。这瘤就好像一粒计时炸弹,随时都能破裂。

她勇敢的过着正常的生活,尽量享受生活,工作及旅行,对生活很满足。

一个月前,这颗炸弹爆炸了,医生也还魂乏术,在昏迷中,今早心脏停止跳动,离开了这个世界。

祈愿她灵魂早日进入西天乐土,极乐世界。阿门。

Treasure every moment with your loved ones ..... especially the moment of sunset...
(The beautiful sunset we saw on our way home)
珍惜每个与你亲人相处的时刻 。。。。特别是在夕阳的时候
(回途中看到的美丽夕阳)

New colour casket 新颜色


Attended tonight wake of Bro. Anthony 86, a parishioner of our parish.

Many of us found the metallic blue casket .... quite.......... fascinating! New age colour!

May his soul rest in peace.

Finger of Illusion 魔术指

倘若如古时的所罗门王
天主吩咐我
看看要问、向他讨什么
我将会要求他赐我三样东西
我要的是:信,望,爱。。。

这是我们常在弥撒中唱的一首英文歌曲。(继续在下端)

If like old King Solomon

The Lord gave me the task
Of finding what I want from him
For these three gifts I'll ask

I'll ask for : Faith, Hope and Charity....


This is the song we used to sing during Masses.

Today, if the Lord were to give me the task of finding what I wanted from him, surely I know what I'll ask for : A Finger of Illusion to create a Police car!

As the song goes further: Faith, hope and charity to strengthen me,...to set me free... to meet the Lord.....

All are for "me". But I ask for a finger of illusion not for myself but for others ... in actual fact, to save lives.

If I were on the highway that night with the speeding bus that crashed on 10-10-10, I would point my Finger of Illusion at the speeding bus, and the bus driver would see a Police car trailing behind, he would have slow down and drive with extra care and caution. Accident can be avoided.

Every day, I travel more than 120 kms to and from work. I see many reckless lorry and bus drivers swerving in and out of lanes causing other drivers to brake. Sometimes heavy vehicles hogging on the fast lanes ... many are speeding and overtaking in dangerous manner.

I just point my Finger of Illusion at these lorries and buses, immediately the drivers would see in their rear view mirrors the presence of a police car behind...

Just like rats seeing cats in the cartoon, they will behave.

Motorcyclists beating traffic lights are common occurrence in every traffic junction. I just point my Finger of Illusion at them, they see the presence of a Police car, they will behave!

To make thing easy, I point my Finger of Illusion at my own car... presto!! it turns into a Police patrol car. It will deter snatch thieves, robbers from committing crime.

Many lives saved!

Many a times, I raised my finger angrily at drivers overtaking me dangerously, or cutting into my lane ..... Do I have the illusion that me really possessed a Finger of Illusion ...

Am I dreaming? Am I crazy ? Am I disillusioned?

今天假如天主同样的问我要什么,我会要求他给我:一根能够变出一辆警车的『魔术指』。

正如那首歌继续这样的唱下去: 信望爱能够强化我。。。释放我,和主相遇。。。

这些都是为了“我”。但我要求的『魔术指』,不是为我自己,而是为他人,确实的说,是救人命。

假如十月十日死亡车祸发生的那个晚上,我也是在大道行驶,我将会把我的手指向那辆超速的巴士一指,那司机将看到一辆警车就随在他后面,他一定马上把速度放慢,小心翼翼的行驶,车祸可能就会避免。

我每天都要行驶来回大约一百二十公里去工作。我可以看到许多鲁莽的巴士及罗里司机,随意转换车道,使到其他驾驶者,常要紧急刹车。有时重型车辆还霸在快速超车道行驶;很多都是超速及危险超车。。。

我只需要把『魔术指』指向这些罗里及巴士,司机马上从望后镜看到警车的出现。他们就会好像卡通里的老鼠见到猫般的,乖乖循规蹈矩行驶了。

摩多骑士在交叉路口闯交通灯是司空见惯的事。我只要把『魔术指』向他们一扫,所有的骑士都看到警车就在他们前面,一定都会乖乖的遵守交通规则了。

为了使事情更容易,我把手指向自己给车一指,别人看到我的车,就是一辆警车。。。这样可以防止小偷,强盗犯罪了!

很多生命及财产受到了保护。

很多时候,我把手指指向那些危险超越我车及鲁莽切入我的车道的司机,是不是我真的幻觉到我有『魔术指』的恩赐?

我是不是在做梦?是不是疯了?或者是幻觉?

Lives in Malaysia 马来西亚的生命

A Chilean miracle!

33 miners were rescued successfully after two months ordeal being trapped 700 meters underground. The whole country, led by the president, rejoiced and thank God for the successful operation that saved 33 precious lives. The whole nation fought a courageous battle and won. Life is precious.

In Malaysia, 12 lives just lost in seconds without a fight on the night of 10-10-2010 in a bus-cars-bus accident.

智利的奇迹。

33位煤矿工人,因矿崩而被困大约七百米的地下69天后,终于成功的被救了出来。整个国家,在总统的带领下,举国欢欣,感谢天主的保佑,拯救工作得于完成,33条宝贵的生命能够保住。智利全国心连心打了一场胜仗。生命是珍贵的。

在马来西亚,12条生命,却在毫无挣扎的情况下,在十月十日晚上,瞬间消失。(继续在下端)

On North South Expressway, a speeding bus banged into the back of a car, lost control and rammed through the guardrail, ploughed head on to a bus, two cars and a motor cycle from opposite direction. It resulted 12 persons, including the bus driver, died on the scene and 38 other injured.

Thank God for our efficient emergency rescue system that swung into action immediately to save lives. And no thanks to the idiot ministers and officials who showed "kind concern and care" to the victims and families. Transport Minister even went to the scene for inspection.
As always after a serious accident, blame game started all over again immediately too.

" a thorough investigation would be carried out..." ( we are very concern)

"whoever responsible would be punished..." (the government will take action)

" need to review the current policy..." (add in more gadgets..more money into pockets)

" the guardrail meets quality standard..." ( don't blame on us - the Highway authority)

"should limit the speed.." (slower speed will avoid accident)

"the accident was due to human error.." ( so don't blame anyone else except the driver)

Many blamed the driver, some blamed the bus company, others blamed lacking of enforcement.

But no one blames it on CORRUPTION!

Our highways are of utmost high standard in term of quality and safety. The buses on our highways are bigger, more comfortable and safer with new technology and innovations.

So the drivers are driving faster and faster .... it occurs almost daily that while I am driving at 110 km/hour on expressway, buses overtake me effortlessly on my left and right whichever they like. They are speeding - at 120 to 130 km/hr.

A Police or JPJ patrol car can easily book 30 bus drivers a day for various offences, especially reckless driving like driving on the overtaking fast lane, dangerous overtaking, using hand phone while driving...).. if only the Police or JPJ wants to.

However, the drivers are not afraid of the Police or JPJ (Transport Department) or speed trap because all offences can be Kaotim (settled) with a handshake (exchange of money) and a smile.

Corruption breeds drivers with throttle happy attitude. They are driving faster and faster ...

As for the ministers and government officers, especially from the Transport Ministry whose duties are to save lives and property, they go back to their offices, with big asses sitting on the big fat chairs, things back to normal again after a few days ... until next accident happens .... again the usual rhetoric routine .....



在南北大道,一辆载客巴士,因超车有超速,撞到一辆前面的车后方而失控,再撞过路中央的防撞围干,和对面方向的一辆巴士,两辆汽车及一辆摩多车相撞,造成12人死亡,另38人受伤。

感谢我们的紧急拯救人员即刻的行动,到场抢救。但不谢那些空喊口号放话的部长及政府官员,他们也向伤者及家人表示关心和慰问。交通部部长还亲身到现场巡视呢。

如以往严重车祸发生后一样,互相推卸责任的行动,马上就出现了。

“我们将会做出详细的调查。。”(我们-政府-很关心)

“那些犯错的将会面对严重的处罚。。” (我们将采取行动)

“将会检讨目前的政策。。” (将有新的东西出炉,我们袋子将会入水)

“路中央的围杆是达到水准的。。” (我们不需负任何责任 -南北大道公司)

“应该降低法定的时速。。” (放慢了就会减少意外)

“应该是人为的因素。。。” (全都是司机的错,不要怪罪其他任何人)。

有些人把责任放在司机身上,有些怪巴士公司,有些则认为是执法不够严厉。

但没有人怪罪在贪污

我国的公路,在品质及安全上,都是高水准的。大道上的巴士,因科技的进步,都是更大,更舒服及更安全的。

所以巴士司机也就越驾越快。几乎每一天,当我在高速公路以时速每小时一百一十公路行驶时,很多巴士以毫不费劲的,从左或右超越我的车,就看司机的喜好。等于说他们的时速是120 或130公里以上。

一辆警方或交通部的巡逻车,每天毫不费力的就可以抓到30位巴士司机,违反各种的交通规例,如在快速的越车道行驶,危险超车,驾车时使用手机等。。。只有他们愿意!

不过巴士司机也不会害怕警察或交通部执法人员,。因为假如被抓,任何事情都可以『定』。。。一个握手(交换贿赂)及一个微笑而已。

贪污养成了驾快车的态度及习惯。。毫无忌惮。贪污是罪魁祸首。

而那些部长及政府官员,特别是交通部官员,他们的职责及工作就是保护生命及财产,但他们回到各自的办公室,坐上大椅子后,把一切都丢到脑后。经过几天,一切平静,回复正常,一直到另一起严重的车祸发生,又再启动“做戏般的动作。。。

而直到那时,现在还是黑色蓝色的生意照常。。。

Tibicos 中国蘑菇菌


Tibicos

Origin - Unknown ... Chinese called it China Mushroom. In India, it was claimed that Mother Teresa got it from a Tibetan monastery thus it is called mushroom of Tibet.

Fact: It is a type of fungus feeds on water and molasses (sugar water). It reproduces through natural process and the fermented liquid is ready to be drunk after 24-48 hours. It is a refreshing drink with curative power (claimed).

We got the mother Tibi from Paul Ng of Cameron Highlands and tried it out at home. The finished product tasted like wine ... but more a carbonated drink.

Effect: Face blushes if you are not a drinker. Many claimed it has preventive and curative power. Good for digestive system.

Precaution: May get addicted to this beverage drink (fermented)!

We can provide "mother Tibi " for those who are interested to try out.(needs refrigerated)

Video on Tibicos made by my wife太太制作的菌母录影

中国蘑菇菌 (Tibicos)

源自: 不详。中国人称之为『中国蘑菇』。在印度,传说加尔各答圣特丽莎姆姆从西藏的一间修院取得,以帮助加尔各答的穷人治疗疾病。

事实:这是一种菌体,可活在黑糖水间。经过自然的发酵,24至48小时后,可以增长。取出液体,菌母可以继续使用。发酵的液体,如酒的味道,是一种可口,有防病及治病的疗效。

我们从金马伦高原朋友,思明的手上得到菌母,在家尝试培植,非常的容易。

功效:不喝酒的人,喝了会脸红。对排泄系统有良好效果。听说对好多种的疾病有疗效。姑且信信吧!

小心: 可能会对这饮品上瘾。(有酒精!)

假如你想试试,我可以提供菌母!(需冷藏)

Back on the road 重新上路

Blogging is sharing my own story - good, bad and ugly. It is not just only writing but soul searching also.

It caught me a week ago that 3 years of blogging means sharing with friends and others 3 years of my life. Should I continue?

This is the question that pulled me back for the past few days. More so with the recent unfolding of events, a possibility that my blog is my epitaph! more scary!

But life is exciting ... and I like to write ....

After few days of soul searching and struggling, I decided to go on sharing .... and I shall go on blogging until one day, and again, when I feel enough is enough ..... then it is enough.

Until then, I thank all friends for your encouragement and enlightenment ...

Consider this is a pit stop to check on my angin (wind) (people who writes got angin), I am on the road again!

写部落格,是分享个人的生活 - 好,坏及丑陋的。这不只是写文字而已,而也是进入心灵深处。

约一个星期前,我忽然意识到,三年的部落格,等于是和朋友及其他人分享了我三年的生活!我是否应该继续下去呢?

这个问题把我拉住了。更甚者,因着最近一些事情的发生,我的部落格有可能就成为我的墓志铭了!多可怕的事啊。

但生活是多么的有趣!我也很喜欢写作。

经过几天的内心的省察及挣扎,我决定继续发与人分享;我也会继续的『博』下去,直到有一天,我再次的觉得,够了,那时就是够了。

直到那一天的到来,我得先多谢各位朋友的鼓励及启发。

就把这个当成是一个检查“风压”的停歇(写作的人都有点“风”的),我重新上路了!

No title 无题



After 3 years of blogging, the question is : " is enough or not enough"....

I am pondering .... to blog or not to blog .... may be this is the last post ....

The wind is blowing......

写了三年的部落格,现在的问题是:“够了吗。。?”

我正在思考着 。。。要继续的“博”下去吗?这可能是最后一个帖子了 。。。

风儿在吹。。。
