不必问

爬到了顶点
才望见远处有张告示
每次只允许卅个小孩一同玩
大人不可攀爬
很多事
只要不构成伤害
无需先问可不可以
否则就错过了许多精彩!
Only noticed no adult allowed after i climbed to the top. As long as it doesn't harm others, there's no need to ask if you want to have fun!

小印度遥忆香妃城

绕一回小印度
体会狮城另一面
电视里的竹脚中心跑马蒲
演的播的此刻在眼前
蔬果杂货金铺各类商店
硕果仅存的丽士戏院
唤起香妃城的想念
殖民时期风格建筑
两扇向外开的旧式窗扉
上下拉动的木制窗叶
爸爸从中遥望记忆
二马路老家布店
姐妹兄弟在不同时间
倚着窗户看大街
家乡
原来一直都没有
离我们太远
A walk around at Little India. Similar colonial building styles brought back sweet memories of our hometown for myself and my parents.

年关近

年关近
岁末扫除以外,也是动脑筋
重新规划空间的时刻
改进过去一年未尽善处
来年生活步伐更顺心
事业、人际、心灵生活
何尝不是如此
Year end is the best opportunity for one to make adjustment of room space for better use in coming years. Same for brain space smile emoticon

宝宝有名从诗经来?

2015年杪弟喜获小宝宝
我自进阶为大伯
小孩则迎来首个堂妹
宝宝有名,未问典故
敢莫是从诗经《子衿》而来?
深情用句,特此纪念。
诗经《子矜》
青青子衿,悠悠我心。
纵我不往,子宁不嗣音?
青青子佩,悠悠我思。
纵我不往,子宁不来?
挑兮达兮,在城阙兮。
一日不见,如三月兮。
My boy and his newly born cousin by my younger brother.

失而复得

圣诞假期
尘封的记忆偶然被掘起
彷如时空囊中留存的“文物”
如烟花般在脑海中
流窜,炸了开来
欣喜几若狂
姐馈赠的石刻篆体印章
童军时代收集的徽章
一封封联系情感的家书友信
亲爱的家人朋友啊
可否还认得自己的字体
当时是什么样的情怀?
失而复得是最好的礼物!
感恩佳节氛围里
令人喜出望外而珍贵
谨记加倍珍惜所有,毕竟
并非所有失去
都能如愿复返啊
Surprise gifts from the past during this Christmas and end of year! The greatest joy come from retrieving things you thought were lost! It reminds me to cherish the present more as not everything will be able to come back when lost.

在掌心滚动的幸福

已多年
未在冬至返家吃汤圆
今巧遇时节
原本要离开的行程
就给搓下来了
一颗颗传统红白里
有多少想念
照儿时的说法
有几岁就吃同岁数的汤圆
今年该吃几颗啦?
可还记得
汤圆在掌心滚动
一次搓个两三颗
化为圆圆的
幸福的感觉?
Doing glutinous rice balls on winter solstice, an event used to do during my childhood. How long have you not done this?

包杨桃来打杨桃

包杨桃来打杨桃
触碰到的包一包
免得蜂鸟虫叮咬
果实收成有诀窍
长得太高要打掉
留着只把养分消
修修剪剪矮些好
回归土地当肥料
先前种树今乘凉
假期园地劳作妙
Day work for star fruits tree. Wrap those fruits within reach. Sacrifice those grow above to keep nutrient for the wrapped ones.

到访科学馆


新加坡科学馆
距离上一次到访
竟已有十五年之久
展馆不时更新
务求展出品与时并进
每次都有收获
无论是否还处在
求知欲最丰盛的时期
新旧科学现象
永远让人充满好奇




Visited Science Centre after 15 years. Amazing, fun and educational tour not only for kids but all.

换换引擎

像一部开不动的车子
年久失修
再怎么加油也难以启动
对生活有这种感觉的时候
不妨参加培训或课程
找回激情与冲动
换个引擎当然会痛
却能将阻塞
观念想法一一打通
Sometimes we are just lost, like an old car with no maintenance. There's no way to boost the energy by just keep adding fuel. It's painful to overhaul the engine but worth to do so as that's the only way to work things out.

与回忆争执

记忆有多可靠?
越是年纪大
记忆似乎越不牢靠
假设的事情久了
或许就变成真的
本来百分百的确定
日子远了或被游说后
变成没发生过的事
也并非不可能
这类与回忆的争执
还不是认真去想
就一定能想得通透
真真假假假假真真
人生如梦
梦亦如人生啊
Memories may not be as reliable when ages catch up. Things that happened before can become unreal and vice versa. It's true that life is just like a dream!

跖疣治疗记



















小孩足底硬块长了好几年
去年开始疼痛
以鸡眼药膏涂了未见效
周边还长多了几颗
尝试了中草药鸦胆子外敷
效用亦不明显
圆硬体越长越多
有天返新山度假
与小孩同龄的外甥看到了
说看过网上报导
若硬块增生者非鸡眼
惊醒梦中人跟着上网查阅
方知乃跖疣作怪
难怪怎么治疗都没效果
再寻求解决方案
许多网友竟然以蒜就治愈了
于是如法炮制捣泥敷上
效果迅速得让人难以置信
炙痛后喜见黑色毒素从深部浮现
随着时日
与蒜作用起的水泡一起干结
隔几日反复敷个几次
每次不过三小时
患处逐渐软化不再疼痛
再过些天
小孩尝试以牙签轻抠
黑体竟与干死皮一同掉落
怎不令人欢呼!?
整个过程大约只有三星期多
心中不禁赞叹又感叹
赞叹平常又便宜的蒜头立大功
少痛无毒无副作用
真是万物皆有其用不可小觑
赞叹资讯发达的年代
更突显不耻下问是真学问啊
特此分享
希望帮助到有同样需要的人~

Sharing my experience in treating plantar warts using garlic paste. Low cost, less pain, no side effect. Must be able to differentiate them with corns which are not causing infection and grow more when you try to remove them.

丰收无尽头

撒一把种子
缘能结多久
一次次的丰收
仿佛无尽头
生命中播下的种子
是否也同理?
无需前生来世
今生已明了

Amazed by my red spinach harvest, which is already umpteenth generation from the seeds I first planted many years ago. The same goes to whatever mind seeds we plant everyday. They may grow and regrow indefinitely.
