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.

频繁

机场从没去得这般频繁
圣淘沙几乎每周报到请安
东西南北千里几日还
看人汲汲营营囤积子孙粮山
看人摸黑起早只为下一餐饭
私宅平民区隔巷往返间
富贫差距情何以堪
理想如何才不沦为空谈？

Have nvr been to airport and Sentosa so frequently. Travelling cross island has become a new norm, seeing all walks of lives, and witnessing the furthest gap between rich and poor.

A non-activity cny for me this year. Took a real good rest.

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.

礼物太酷

  

同窗三年多的友人
出国旅游总会带礼归来
这次小儿竟也有份
让热爱打鼓之人哇了又哇
平日见友人漫不经心
没想心思慎密如斯
礼物太酷，无以为报
謹以此文聊表感谢

Great thanks to friends who brought gift during their holiday trips. Special mention on the cool 'drum-in-can' gift which really wows my boy.

活生生的春

喜见社区街头卖春联
书者无师自通
自有其围观与欣赏者

厌倦了刻意营造的气息
春，却不经意在这一小角
活生生蹦了出来!

A Chinese calligraphy artist exhibiting his CNY spring couplets, bringing out the most natural lunar new year atmosphere to the people in the community!

咖啡茶大师

一杯咖啡茶好喝与否
除了豆子品质
就靠冲泡者的功夫和用心

这位手艺细腻的长者
对饮料温度的掌握
对饮者口味的体贴
炉火纯青啊
让人咖啡一杯茶一杯
流连余香忘返

可惜再拜访
摊位仍在人已非
味道只能绕心头

Good coffee not only comes from great bean but also great coffee maker, like this one at Old Airport hawker centre. A pity that she is no longer there. Pm me if anyony happens to see this coffee brewing master!


 

一夜梦幻

 

穿过林间黄泥路
等待入夜
坐上船头，微雨中
静谧流水上寻幽
丛林点点荧光闪烁
微弱却真实，为圣诞
罩上一夜梦幻

 

My first firefly viewing trip. Found the river after miles of muddy road. Appreciate the amazing little light flashing on a boat in drizzling rain. Not commercial and very original. What a beautiful Christmas evening.

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.

 

 



 

 

 

 



志工喜团圆

昔日团队
四人离去二人留
三人回归年度义卖
志工相逢喜团圆

 
从主办者到参与者
了解准备过程的艰辛
感受小螺丝的重要
善缘，成就一切

Back to volunteer for organization i left a year ago. A great catch up with fellow ex-colleugues and many familiar faces.

 

 

 

 

 

阳光灿烂

阳光灿烂的日子
在考试结束后
让人感觉份外舒畅

与土地公结缘至今
今次备考尤其紧张
临考当天上午
仍赴约处理事务
思绪在古籍与房产之间碰撞
透不过气却出奇激励

 
与一年前相比
零碎时间善用率提高
还好，无需抱佛脚

A real test for me to juggle between real estate work and studies, when it comes to my term exam, long after i enjoyed flexible working hours for nearly one year. Self discipline and fully making use of 'idle' time are the key factors for the balance.
