掌心中的你

十年了
记得爸爸每天牵着你小手
走路上学的日子吗
转眼，已和同龄朋友一同走
留下爸妈在后头

庆幸有时候
你还肯牵着爸妈的手
很珍惜你这样的不害羞
也记下掌心中的你
青春壮实如小牛

Time flies. Still remember the days I bring you to kindergarten everyday, holding your little hands. A teenager you are now, and I appreciate you still hold our hands sometimes.


 

放对位置

同一片土地
种植绿叶蔬菜不行
果树再怎么浇灌也白费力气
爸妈不断尝试下
其他地方种不大的羊角豆
最终在这里开出了胜利

工作觉得不顺心
生活过得不尽人意
别垂头丧气别轻易放弃
除了看看自己也检视环境
很多时候
只是没放对位置而已

Giant lady fingers planted by my parents. That particular piece of land may not be nutritious for other plants, but is just great for lady fingers.

Do not give up easily when you feel life sucks - a change of environment may spur up your potential fully.



 

收成大三喜

藤攀满了架
虽只结出个小小果实
几个月过程中
却收成了大三喜
  喜出望外
    暗自窃喜
      无 限 欢 喜！

My tiny cucumber planted in pot

架工本职

旧日垫床架用的木块头
结合废弃的床木条
代替因受力弯曲的铁枝
用它们朴实的凹槽
回复架工本职
架起购买方满一年的躺椅
只能再一次证明
古早的物品
实用太多太多啦

Seen before the wooden blocks people used to lift up beds in olden days? Modified them to lift up my lazy lying chair bought only a year ago, as the support metal bar was bent. Once again old stuff is proven to be high quality and so much more durable.





 

柴米油盐的感性

友人说感性不复在
是被幸福淹没了
还是柴米油盐磨个平

其实感性是态度
不一定要风花雪月
也在柴米油盐的幸福里

Friend thought she lost her sensibility of young times due to house chores. I thought sensibility is an attitude of appreciation, it can be found in beautiful imagination, and also in daily trivial matters.


 

几许愁

那天经过才知道
你也有晚霞为背景的时候
旧日留下的不是清晨中的雄伟
就是夜里的宁静月光相伴
原来 你也有几许愁~

A scene i rarely see in the past with sunset as background for my previous working place. Beautiful yet sentimental.


 

宁可相信

别告诉我
你身体的颜色
是因为激素生长素
我宁可也更愿意相信
刚出生的你
因害羞脸色通红
又或为了理想诞生
而血脉偾张

Beautiful red new born leaves. Feeling shy or full of fighting spirit?


 

怎堪花月弄

 

日未落
华月初上宫
大地簕杜鹃花开
紫红重重
思念伊人依旧浓
怎堪花月弄？

 

 

 

转眼镀金

 

仍陶醉在
离去前的晴空
不过几分钟光景
漫天金光流荡
镀成银云飞舞片片
尽管大喜

我却无法驻足
亦难回头
只驰骋晚霞中

Nice blue sky taken before I leave. In just five minutes time the sky turned drastically, with cloud glows with pearl and gold border.

 

难得学堂

难得周日假期
别人休闲时
这一群缅甸客工
聚在一起
没有吃吃喝喝
桌上一本本的课簿
大伙跟着带头的齐声朗读
组屋楼下书声琅琅
煞是悦耳
俨然成了小小学堂

A group of foreign workers from Myanmar makes use of their off day on every Sunday morning to afternoon for a reading session at hdb void deck. Truly respectable.



 

微笑天穹

若雨是泪
难过后别忘记抬头
总有一抹微笑挂天穹
告诉你，风雨之后
要继续勇敢筑梦

Look up to the sky when sad. There's always a beautiful smile telling us not to give up our dream.
