再见篝火


久违的篝火
没想再见
竟是那么多年以后
年轻的生命力
在火圈旁跳跃奔放
往昔熟悉情景浮现
那些年星空下
疲惫却兴奋的身躯
跟着学长们到处邀约女生
野人般绕火哼歌而行
没有掉入裂开的时空虫洞太久
我默默注视孩子
是否与其他人打成一片
是否过了这一夜
会就此突然长大成熟
Participated in son's Sec 3 campfire. What a wonderful night with many performances resembling what I had experienced in the young scouting days.

清明


是熊熊燃烧的火
翻腾四散热量
延续血中传统执着

是拜祭祖辈的香
在坟山上牵啊係啊
萦绕在心头思念敬仰

是掌心上转动的冥纸
叠叠开展成扇
两代之间传承终不断

是一年一度的清明
山青日晴晨清人康靖
半日小聚代代情


Yearly tomb sweeping event at home town. Glad to see more 4th generation joining in.

积累因缘


人与人之间如何产生感觉
喜欢不喜欢
在幼儿往往是即刻的反应
是性别年龄样貌体型
或是积累的因缘
让他们一眼就有好感
在分别心尚未发展的年龄
能说不是后者吗?

What makes a baby or little kid likes you? It doesn't seem related to what we adult always see and feel - look, age, gender, size etc. Could it be affinity that was built upon in previous lives?

喝杯回忆

就想喝杯回忆
管它铁罐热水什么化学反应
只觉得这样喝来特别香浓
绳子穿过铁盖煞是美丽
茶的贡一层皮
咖啡贡不穿衣
以前人环保将物品用到尽
现代则制造所谓环保商品

Enjoy coffee and tea in gong. Simply fragrant and environmental friendly.

除夕一早头项事

一年一度
除夕日一早的头项事
老一辈对天地与祖先的恭敬
早已超越了迷信
Yearly first thing on cny eve. Once viewed as superstition, i see it now as sincerity and piety towards mother nature and ancestor by our old generation.

紫薯手环糕

独一无二
紫薯手环糕
全天然全手工
辛勤劳作后
最佳的奖励

最传统的回忆


Traditional ring kueh, hand-made from home grown organic purple sweet potatoes. Best reward and best childhood memories after hard work in harvesting.

长堤 · 雨

应该没太多人
有机会骑着机车
越过新柔长堤
难得假期
想让小孩成长历程中

写下宝贵一页
不意仅此一次
竟碰上了雨
是为了让体会
留下更深的印记?


Gave son an unforgettable experience crossing causeway on bike... in rain!

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.

一溜烟背影

什么时候开始
你总爱骑着机车
为老婆儿女买东西
不厌使唤
不计次数

不嫌物品大小

从担心麻烦你
到习惯让你的背影
一溜烟出门,不一会儿
伴随老旧摩托声回来
逐渐明了,你对家人的爱
用自己的方式表白

My lovely dad that'll will help buy us anything, no matter how many times, how small the item is, as long as he knows about it. From worrying to bother him at his age, to getting used to the fast-going and soon-coming-back sound of motorbike, i finally understand that's his way to express love to his family.

电线上的一排鸟儿

倦鸟归巢
脑海里浮现
怎么一直都是天空中
电线上一排排鸟儿
却寂静无声



The long queue of returning workers in evening, linking my thoughts to rows of birds on the sky transmission wires, but without any sound.

春天叶子綻生机

针线活儿
母亲长青兴趣之一
年轻时帮补家用的功臣
量身裁剪车边加內里
数不清曾留下多少印迹
岁月在针车锓铿声中流去
不曾减退是热忱技艺
每每接到任务还是马不停蹄
专注用心那一刻最美
穿针哪是什么难题
偶尔「车」个小东西
体内激素被唤醒
枕头套子桌布孩童裤
家中有了这个宝啊
春天叶子綻生机
My mum who is skillful in tailoring. The skill was used to help to make a living in my young days, and now more for making things out of interest. Her focused expression in sewing is most beautiful.

团圆喜扮猴


新春回家聚首
团圆喜扮猴
当年的五姐妹弟兄
如今儿女满堂凑
家乡四处走走
熟悉情景涌心头
波德申登高楼
小孩浅水游
长辈海滩闲坐悠
访亲探戚话当年勇
年华老去皮渐皱
人事越看越透
岁月不停留
人生怎能无忧
但求知足天地宽
善孝福德厚

两个字

近期'流行'淘古物
姐清理家中
又一'文物'出土
妈妈当年台湾旅游时
因为两个字购买的茶壶
经历时日和搬迁
差点被丢弃
也因为这二字
才保留下来
A Chinese tea pot with special characters bought by mum in one of her trips to Taiwan as a souvenir to me. The same characters prevent it from being thrown away by my sister during her spring cleaning.

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.

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.
