雷人行为

星期六, 3月 28th, 2009

早上锅巴起床，拿起手机在读今天的天气，说东北风什么什么的，果果听见了，就问：北风在哪里啊？还没来得及得到回答，果果就自己找到答案了。只见果果竖起一根食指，说：这就是北风。

果果特别喜欢在屋里骑他的扭扭车，然后更喜欢的是骑车去撞阳台门玻璃。锅巴的劝说没用，果妈的威胁没用。所以每次锅巴象百米冲刺一样去挡在他车前面。过了一阵子，果果找到了新的玩法了，他叫锅巴骑扭扭车，说他自己是导航车，在前面指挥锅巴开车，就听见果果在那说：往这边往这边，倒车倒车，再往后倒，再往后倒，不要撞玻璃哦。大家真是很苦笑不得啊，锅巴就问：为什么不能撞玻璃啊，答：因为玻璃会碎的。昏，他全知道啊。

果果有彩泥玩了，有天自己在捏把捏把，然后冲到妈妈身边说：妈妈，这是我做的饼干，你吃吧，特别特别好吃，真的。果妈做势尝了下，说：嗯，真的很好吃啊，果果用什么做的。果果说：有盐，味精，酱油，还有酒，马工（马桶）。。。

果果会唱“长亭外，古道边。。”这首歌，现在经常跟果妈拿着两个遥控器当话筒，唱前还要清很久的嗓子，唱完了如果奶奶没什么表示的话，果果会马上要求奶奶拍手。唱了几次，果果就把歌词改编了：长亭呼，挤沙发，夕阳山外山了。创意不知道哪来的。

晚上果果跟果妈躺床上酝酿睡觉了，锅巴老是进来搅和。果妈就跟果果讲：叫你老子出去。果果马上就嚷嚷：你老子出去。锅巴只好灰溜溜出去了。果果就问妈妈：你老子是什么东西。果妈说：你老子就是你爸爸。果果做明白状，思考了一会就跟妈妈讲：你是我娘子。果妈笑喷，强忍着笑：我是你爸爸的娘子，不是果果的娘子。果果长大了也会有自己的娘子的。果果又思考了会:我的娘子是奶奶。果妈决定不解释了，太难了。

有天洗完澡，果妈在逗果果玩，假装问了下他的屁股，说：唔，太臭了。果果被果妈五官扭曲的表情逗得哈哈大笑，反复几次后，果妈又加强了扭曲幅度，还假装咳嗽。果果很严肃地问妈妈：你怎么就感冒了呢？妈妈说：没感冒，就是被你屁股臭得呛着了。果果就说：你去喝点红糖水吧（板蓝根），咳嗽了。

上周六果果跟果妈和奶奶一起去一个农家采草莓，果妈开了近一个小时的车才到达目的地附近，刚在犹豫去哪家采呢，就有人主动凑上来问了，看着就在车旁边，果妈就决定就地采了。于是三人冒着冷风跟农家完成讲价，要了几个塑料袋当脚套就选了个没人的大棚进去了。果果又是经典地嚷叫着不要去不要去，现在果妈都充耳不闻了，带进去后果果立刻忘记说不要去了，扑过去采草莓了。由于田埂太窄，果果根本站不住，就连大人都很难站稳，就看着果果连滚带爬地在那采草莓。果妈看着真是心疼啊，这么水灵灵的草莓就被果果糟踏了。等到一个大棚出来，果果的裤子已经惨不忍睹了，满是草莓汁。然后又开始嚷嚷要回家家了，忙乱坐上车，果妈叫奶奶赶紧拿出带着的干粮给果果垫肚子，果然是饿了啊，拿到饼干后立刻不吭声了，相当认真地吃着，直到睡着。艾，真是够幸福的。

多事之秋

星期一, 3月 9th, 2009

As most of you may have already known the tragedies happened in NTU, last Monday, an Indonesia final year student was reported to commit a suicide after stabbing a professor, who is the supervisor of his final year project. As the top Singapore news paper, Strait Times reported the whole story immediately, which unfortunately, was regarded to mislead his readers by some untrue information. For example, ST reported the student slit his wrist before the suicide jump. But his parents declared later that the wound was not on his wrist but on his neck, throat and back. People can hardly understand such a mistake (if it is really a mistake by a journalist) is just unintentional? Or they intentionally help to cover the truth from the public?

Now, the situation becomes more complicated. Last Friday, another NTU staff, who was used to be an undergraduate student of NTU from Hubei, China, was reported to kill himself at Nanyang Heights in campus! The wired thing is that both of them worked in the same lab. Is there any linkage between these two accidents? So far, the investigation is still on-going. Before the whole thing becomes obvious, I hope our university can take a right stand at that moment, to support any action of trying to reveal the truth beneath the news.

Chinese may hear many stories about the Culture Revolution happened in last century of China. Most of them are quite unfortunate. But I think the worst thing happened in that period of time is that young people were encouraged to do many wrong things and criticized many good people, using some ridiculous or even fake evidences. As a result, they tended to loss their yardstick of moral values, which caused severe consequences when they became the core of the society someday. Now the only thing we can do is to remember the shamed history as long as we still can learn from it, i.e. the wrong thing should be corrected immediately after their occurrences.

2009!

星期日, 1月 11th, 2009

2009刚刚拉开序幕。当经历了多事之秋的2008，当我们收藏了这一年中所有的震惊，悲痛，纷乱，自豪，灰暗之后，对2009年寄予了更多的期待，大的方面，希望天下太平，民生向荣。而具体到我自己，希望09年在工作上表现出色，工作之余，家庭和睦，家庭之外，关心时事。总的来说，能在09年增长智慧。虽然眼前金融危机让这个世界看起来阴霾一片，但长远来看，恶性泡沫的破灭，也正是良性周期的开始。宝剑锋从磨砺出，有实力的商家，有价值的科技经过严酷的洗礼，也势必脱颖而出，带动下一次经济的蓬勃。从个人的角度来说，人往往在逆境中积蓄力量，顺境中享受生活。且保持一颗平常心吧。

上周五中午，老板带我们去虎豹别墅聚餐，作为提前庆祝春节。虎豹别墅曾经是新加坡一个很受欢迎的旅游景点，近年来变得比较冷清。以前需要门票，现在也免了。

“初建于1937年，虎豹别墅是新加坡一位企业家胡文虎为弟弟所建的。别墅里的雕塑栩栩如生地刻画出中国民间传说及故事。到此的游客形容它为“引人入胜、惊喜、怪异、富娱乐性”。

虎豹别墅将建筑及雕塑合为一体，将许多家喻户晓的华族民间故事集合于一处。在这里，您能见到西游记、八仙大闹海龙宫、白蛇传及其他故事里的人物，他们以鲜艳夺目的色彩活灵活现地展现出来，巧妙地将中国民间传统及文化长久地保存下来，供后代参观了解。”

最近虎豹别墅重整旗鼓，翻新吸引游客，但是由于新上的油漆颜色过于诡异，反而变得更加冷清。不太适合带小朋友前往，以免被吓着。不过园子里面有一个“华颂博物馆”到很值得推荐。这家博物馆建在一个中餐馆里面，如果在餐馆用餐，就可以免费参观。（如果不用餐，大人需要8块钱的门票，小孩半票）这个博物馆把海上丝绸之路作为索引，展示了海外华人的照片，生活用品，比如锅碗瓢盆。食物有原汁原味的中国特产，也有经过当地改良的食品。博物馆还陈列了当时华人飘洋过海用的轮船的等比例模型，木船上写着“the living hell”（人间地狱）。旁边贴着这个木船载着华工的照片，黑压压的非常拥挤，甚至让人联想到贩卖黑奴的海船。印象中海外华人，特别是东南亚一带，有很多华人富商，但看了这张照片突然意识到，更多的海外华人是那些为了生计的奔波的华工。

根据博物馆的统计资料，在海外华人数量最多的国家是印度尼西亚（华人比例最高的应该还是新加坡）。有意思的是，最少的国家（忘了名字了）只有12个华人。精确程度让人吃惊。统计表上有一行字，“有水的地方，就有华人”，这句话让我很是震撼和自豪。更让我自豪的是，华人不管在哪里，都默默保存着华人传统。人不能忘本啊。

话说餐厅其实装修和口味都非常不错，但是依然冷清，诺大的餐厅只有我们几个人。从周一到周六中午有点菜的自助餐(至少4人！)，价格也很合理成人18.8++，小孩9.8++（<10岁）, 有兴趣可以尝试。

最近新加坡新传媒电台的台庆剧《小娘惹》非常受欢迎。所以顺便了解了一下娘惹文化。以前和赵鹏开玩笑说，中国的博士是“土博士”，欧美的博士是“洋博士”，那我们新加坡的博士是什么呢？答曰：“娘惹博士”。

峇峇（读巴）娘惹是马来人和早期华人结合的混血后代，其中男的叫峇峇(Peranakan)，女的叫娘惹(Nonya or Nyonya)，属于土著。具体地说，是十五世纪初的华人和当地的马来人结合的后代。更具体地说，就是郑和下西洋时候留在马来西亚的华人的后代J，其中主要是福建人，也有广东人和客家人等。值得注意的是，现在的马来华人称为混血儿，不能称为娘惹。峇峇娘惹成为生活在马来西亚的独特的族群，他们大多接受英文教育，常被人认为数典忘祖。在小娘惹得电视里剧面，主要讲述三个家族之间的恩怨。其中就有一个喝了洋墨水不认祖先的家族。而另外两个截然相反——很认真的保持着娘惹的传统。他们有他们自己的传统服饰，娘惹服，有他们独特的女红——珠秀，吃他们传统的娘惹菜和娘惹糕点。娘惹食品多采用当地的食材和香料，比如椰子，虾米，Pendan叶子，番薯，香蕉叶等。但同时又受到中国饮食文化的影响，食不厌精，非常精致。原来我们常常吃到的嘞沙（Laksa）就是娘惹传统食品，小贩中心都有售。在新加坡，比较精致的娘惹糕点在Bangawang Solo店里有卖。据网上说，在马来西亚槟城（Penang）的娘惹糕最正宗。最后，贴上小娘惹女主角月娘的剧照。我很喜欢这个叫欧萱的女孩，演技不俗。也很喜欢老演员向云（演月娘的外婆和老年月娘）。她的气质很隐忍内敛，温柔慈祥，很适合演具有传统美德的女性。
