This is what I obtained from a fwd mail, i doubted how true is it????

FAKTA KELEBIHAN AIS ·

Air Sejuk yang hening dapat menolong pesakit insomnia yang sukar tidur agar dapat kembali tidur seperti biasa. ·

Orang yang tidur dalam udara yang sejuk dan berselimut untuk memanaskan tubuhnya adalah kombinasi yang baik untuk menjaga kesihatan secara menyeluruh dalam jangka masa pendek apatah lagi jangka panjang. ·

Udara panas lebih memudahkan penyebaran penyakit berjangkit kerana bakteria lebih agresif dan cepat membiak dalam cuaca begini. ·

Liputan ais di Antartika (daerah kutub Selatan) dan Artik (daerah kutub utara) adalah pengimbang dasar bumi yang amat panas. ·

Kombinasi dalam bumi yang panas dan luaran bumi yang sejuk adalah rahsia keseimbangan tekanan semulajadi alam yang mengawal graviti dan pergerakan bumi pada paksinya. · Ais atau air sejuk dapat mengembalikan memori atau sifat pelupa yang keterlaluan. · Benarkan anak anda mengunyah ais kerana ini akan menguatkan giginya dan benarkan anak anda memakan ais krim secara perlahan-lahan dan berterusan sehingga batuknya hilang dalam masa beberapa jam kerana mengambil ubat batuk biasanya akan mengambil masa satu minggu untuk melegakan batuk secara total. ·

Membiasakan diri mengunyah ais akan meningkatkan kecerdasan fikiran dan kepantasan pergerakan. ·

Ais amat diperlukan oleh mana-mana atlit sukan dalam kecederaan yang tidak disangka-sangkakan. ·

Air sejuk atau ais kini dijadikan bahan perencat kepada kecederaan yang akut seperti demam panas yang biasanya dihidapi oleh bayi yang mempunyai potensi menghidapi sawan. ·

Air sejuk adalah terapi yang amat popular sebagai penguat tulang yang telah patah dengan syarat ia dibalut dengan kain hitam. ·

Air sejuk dalam rahsia cuka adalah sangat baik untuk menguatkan tulang yang patah kerana ia dapat menyembuhkan tulang dengan lebih cepat. ·

Air sejuk mempunyai daya rangsangan yang boleh mengembalikan semangat orang yang telah hilang ingatan seperti pengsan, gila dan koma kembali sedar. ·

Mandi air sejuk akan menguatkan tulang. Tulang yang berlebihan urik asid akan meningkatkan suhu tulang dan melemahkan struktur tulang. ·

Air sejuk lebih stabil molekul atomnya. ·

Air sejuk lebih peka kepada gelombang frekuensi rendah yang dirakamkan melalui niat dalam amalan berwuduk. ·

Air sejuk dapat merakamkan gelombang frekuensi rendah lebih stabil. ·

Air sejuk sesuai dijadikan air penawar kepada orang yang ingin merakamkan bunyi dalaman yang disertai dengan rasa kasih sayang dan keikhlasan. ·

Air kelapa muda bersifat sejuk amat baik untuk kesihatan kerana ia amat berkesan untuk meneutralkan kesan keracunan dan keasidan yang berlebihan dalam aliran darah. Tubuh secara semulajadinya bersifat panas dan ia memerlukan pasangan yang bersifat sejuk. · Oksigen dan hidrogen bersifat panas dan ia menguasai bahagian perut. Adalah menjadi suatu kesalahan memulakan amalan pemakanan di waktu pagi dengan unsur-unsur yang panas. Minumlah seteguk air sejuk di awal pagi kerana ia menguatkan perut.

2008-07-06T09:22:00.000+08:00

This is supposed to be one of the most beautiful scene in the sky !

Mammatus Clouds - Rare & beautiful‏l

Ever seen anything like this??

Jorn Olsen works for the Dutton-Lainson Co. in Hastings, Nebraska,and lives by Heartwell Park next to Hastings College . The other night he took these photos
.
The stadium lights are at the Hastings College stadium just east of his home.The clouds are called Mammatus clouds
.
They do not precede a tornado, or foretell a storm, but are formed when the air is already saturated with rain droplets and/or ice crystals and begins to sink. The worst of the storm is usually over when these kinds of clouds are seen. They are quite rare, but really beautiful.

Going Bananas

2008-07-02T09:17:00.005+08:00

Bananas... This is very interesting.

After Reading THIS, you'll NEVER look at a banana in the same
way again -

Bananas. Containing three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and
glucose combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained and
substantial boost of energy.

Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy
for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number
one fruit with the world's leading athletes.

But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It
can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and
conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression:
According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people
suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana.
This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein
that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve
your mood and generally make you feel happier.

PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains
regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Anemia :
High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of
haemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

Blood Pressure:
This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet
low in salt, making it the perfect to beat blood pressure.

So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed
the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to
reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

Brain Power:
200 students at aTwickenham (Middlesex) school were helped
through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and
lunch in a bid to boost their brain power.

Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist
learning by making pupils more alert.

Constipation:
High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore
normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting
to laxatives.

Hangovers:
One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a
banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach
and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels,
while the milk soothes and
re-hydrates your system.

Heartburn:
Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you
suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

Morning Sickness:
Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar
levels up and avoid morning sickness.

Mosquito bites:
Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the
affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it
amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

Nerves:
Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous
system.

Overweight and at work?
Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure
at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps.
Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese
were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that,
to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar
levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep
levels steady.

Ulcers:
The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal
disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw
fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It
also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the
lining of the stomach.

Temperature control:
Many other cultures see bananas as a 'cooling' fruit that can
lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers.
In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their
baby is born with a cool temperature.

Seasonal Affective Disorder
(SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the
natural mood enhancer tryptophan.

Smoking:
Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6,
B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them,
help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

Stress:
Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the
heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water
balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby
reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of
a high-potassium banana snack.

Strokes:
According to research in 'The New England Journal of Medicine
'eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by
strokes by as much as 40%!'

Warts:
Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to
kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart,
with the
yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster
or surgical tape!

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you
compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the
carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and
iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in
potassium and is one of the best value foods around.

So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so

'A banana a day keeps the doctor away!'

Effective way to reduce petrol price!!!

2008-06-30T09:17:00.000+08:00

Let's get those fuel prices down‏

THIS IS NOT THE 'DON'T BUY' PETROL FOR ONE DAY, BUT IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE CAN GET PETROL BACK DOWN TO $1.00 PER Litre....

This was originally sent by Phillip Hollsworth, a retired Coca Cola executive.

If you are tired of the gas prices going up AND they will continue to rise this winter, take time to read this, PLEASE.

Phillip offered this good idea.

This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the 'don't buy petrol on a certain day' campaign that was going around last April or May!

It is worth your consideration. Join the resistance!!!!

We are going to hit $ 2.00 a litre and it might go higher!! Want petrol prices to come down?

We need to take some intelligent, united action. The oil companies just laughed at last year's action because they knew we would not continue to 'hurt' ourselves by refusing to buy petrol. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them. BUT whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can really work.

Please read on and join with us!

By now, you're probably thinking petrol priced at about $1.50 is cheap.

It is currently $1.90 for regular unleaded.

Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a liter of gas is CHEAP at $1.50, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace...not sellers.

With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take action.

The only way we are going to see the price of petrol come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their petrol! And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves.

How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying petrol.

But we CAN have an impact on petrol prices if we all act together to force a price war.

Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY petrol from BP
the biggest price-up driver company.

If they are not selling any petrol, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.

But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of BP petrol buyers. It's SO simple!

Now, don't wimp out on me at this point...keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions and even BILLIONS of people!!

I am sending this note to 20 people.

If each of you sends it on to at least twenty more that's (20 x 20 = 400) ..

And those 400 send it to at least twenty more (400 x 20 = 8000 ... and so on,

by the time the message reaches the fifth group of people, we will have reached over SIXTY FOUR MILLION consumers!!!!!
20x20 = 400

400x20 = 8,000

8,000x20 = 160,000

160,000x20 = 3,200,000

3,200,000x20 = 64,000,000

64,000,000x20 = 12,800,000,000

That's 12.80 Billion people folks, who will have been contacted!!!!!

Unbelievable?? Do the math and see for yourself!

Again, all you have to do is send this to 20 people. That's all!
I'll bet you didn't think we had that much potential, did you!

Acting together we can make a difference..

If this message makes sense to you, then please pass it on.

THEY will LOWER THEIR PRICES TO BELOW THE $1.50 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN.

THIS CAN REALLY WORK.

It's simple – send the message along to others and choose to not buy petrol from BP.

TWENTY FIVE POINT SIX BILLION people:

Now THAT's people power.

LET'S

JUST DO IT ! ! !

More power to you friend.

It's fun to make fun of friends, as they don't take it seriously.

It's nice walking together with an umbrella in the shade with a friend.

It's great and stimulating to get loving words from a friend.

Even being with a friend talking nothing is a pleasure.

Even a tragedy being with a friend seems comedy.

Silly things seem so nice when it's done with a friend.

Decision with a friend is easy, cos they will decide onwhat you like.

Life with a friend is heaven.

Life is sweet having a friend.
Thank you for being my friend.

How could this be possible? Courts Mammoth vs Tesco

2008-05-29T07:49:00.001+08:00

Wish to shop for cheap gadgets, but do not know where to head for?

LOWYAT is the answer.

If you plan to compare products sold in Courts Mammoth with Tesco, guess which one offer a better price?
Let's the battle begins.
To make everything looks fair, I will try to compare apple to apple.

Product 1: RM29.90 (Courts Mammoth)

Product 1: RM19.90 (Tesco)

Product 2 will be AVF ear phone as well. (I am planning to buy an ear phone so pay more attention to ear phone)

Product 2: RM39.90 (Courts Mammoth)
Product 2: RM29.90 (Tesco)

Why is it things selling in Courts Mammoth have to be a lot more expensive than Tesco?
If you did read my previous blog regarding Courts Mammoth, you will know I do not like Courts Mammoth at all. Then why I went there?
I went to Tesco in Mutiara Damansara that day to buy a DVD player, but sadly no stock for the one I chose and just opposite located this "Mammoth" on sales. and found that the price after Mammoth sales still remain "Mammoth"

Now, let's continue with product 3.

Product 3 : (Courts Mammoth)
Ladies and gentlemen, and here comes our product 3. Cool isn't it! It is 70" Samsung LCD TV.
They're selling it by half price.(50% discount)
Guess how much is this TV after the "Mammoth" discount?

Sorry, I cant find the same TV by Samsung in Tesco, but I can give you a hint:

As you can see, the retail price for Sony Bravia 70" TV is RM200,000 before discount.(Both Sony Bravia & Samsung are HD1080 with nearly similar spec) So what will be the discounted price of Samsung TV in Courts Mammoth?

THINK

THINK

THINK

And the answer is:

RM199,999.00 after their 50% discount!!!(Courts Mammoth)

How could this be possible???

This reminds me of a story, a very interesting story that suits the title well, sadly it's in Chinese. Since you have come so far, I guess you don't wish to miss the ending. By BEG or DRAG, ask someone to translate for you!

Here it goes,

一个八十岁的老人去做健康检查。检查途中，老人不断向医生炫耀他新婚的妻子多好多好。“她才二十五岁！”老人叫道，“我们结婚四个月，你知道她对我有多忠诚，她无时无刻都需要我，粘我粘到我都感到厌烦了！”“而且，”老人又说，“告诉你，她最近怀孕了！”医生静静地听着，一言不发，“怎么样？”老人得意洋洋地说，“不错罢？”医生抬起头，看了他一眼。“这让我想起一位失散多年的朋友。他跟我说过一个故事，是他在非洲狩猎时遇上的事。当时他在草原上遇到一头狮子，他立刻从背上抓下枪来瞄准。然而，他立刻发现他错了，他拿到的是雨伞，不是枪。这时已经太迟，狮子正站在他面前，就要扑过来，他只好把雨伞扛在肩上，使尽吃奶的力气‘砰砰砰’大叫三声，奇迹发生了，那狮子竟然倒下死掉啦。”“狗屎，这怎么可能”老人大叫，“那一定是别人干的！”“我也这么认为”医生说。

Run your car on water

2008-05-25T23:40:00.006+08:00

Have you ever think that we can run our car on water?
From news recently, get to know that we can get our car moved by just using the air. How amazing this could be! The prototype is out but the price is pretty expensive.

How about water? Since we can run our car by air, I guess it applied to the water as well.
To my surprise, I found this site: click here
From the website, it mentions that we can use electricity from car's battery to separate water into gas called HHO (2 hydrogen + 1 Oxygen) which known as Brown's Gas that provides the atomic power of Hydrogen. It's so cool. Do go and have a look , they have attached some cool video as well.

Interesting History

2008-05-25T11:43:00.002+08:00

History Mystery

Have a history teacher explain this----- if they can.

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln .

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln , was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln , was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln ' made by 'Ford.'

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here's the kicker...

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe , Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.

Creepy huh? This is one history lesson most people probably will not mind reading. So, share it with your friends!

Slave or Labour

2008-05-22T10:42:00.004+08:00

What is the main difference between slave and labour?

I wonder is there still slave in this 20th century?

I have a friend, let the name be A. A is a graduate from local university, while waiting for his employment, A work as a shop assistant where he feels he can gain experience for what he is going to be in future. Guess how much is the salary?

RM3.50-Rm4 per hour.

A works 6 days per week, 8 hours per day. Accumulation of the salary per month will be approx RM 800. The question is that is this kind of salary able to survive in places like KL where everything is expensive; price of petrol reach the peak recently, even some places, the price for a bowl of mee went up to RM5 (since last week).

Income(1 month) : Rm800
Meal(30days, 3meal/day,RM5/meal) :-RM450
Room rental +Electrical& water bill : -RM150
Maxis/DIGI user :-RM30
movie :-RM10
KFC :-RM10
Petrol :-RM100
Toiletries + house hold item :-RM50
Balance :RM0

Luckily still able to balance the account.....

This scenario only applied to those lucky one provided with a car,else don't even think of owning a second hand Kancil. Not to even mention about having your own house. Oh ya, how about stationary, clothes, trousers or shoes?

Not to be worry.
In fact, with 7 days working a week, you can buy those selling in night markets.

This is the conversation between A and me:
A: Hello, may I speak to ....

A: My boss says he needs more people to help out on this sunday, are you free?
Me: I have no appointment yet, doing what? How much is the pay?
A: Oh, we are doing stock check. They pay RM3.80/hour.
Me: Huh? RM3.80/hour???? Did you ask others?
A: Ya, I did ask my friend, they are not free.
Me: The salary is too low le, who will want to work? Only stupid people will accept the offer. (Sorry, I am not smart, and kinda stupid in times)
A: My bosses girlfriends and wife. Dun crap, want or dun wan, just say?
Me: If I work 8 hours there on sunday, I already use half of my salary to pay for petrol..Dun wan la.(My house is around 45 minutes from there)

A: Dun worry, I think we will work more than 8 hours as not enough people.
Me: ......

生活就像洋蔥

2008-05-22T02:06:00.000+08:00

事發生在美國一所大學。
在快下課時教授對同學們說：「我和大家做個遊戲，誰願意配合我一下。」
一女生走上台來。
教授說：「請在黑板上寫下你難以割捨的二十個人的名字。」
女生照做了。有她的鄰居、朋友以、親人等等。
教授說：「請你劃掉一個這裏面你認為最不重要的人。」
女生劃掉了一個她鄰居的名字。
教授又說：「請你再劃掉一個。」
女生又劃掉了一個她的同事。
教授再說：「請你再劃掉一個。」
生又劃掉了一個。
最後，黑板上只剩下了三個人，她的父母、丈夫和孩子。
教室非常安靜，同學們靜靜的看著教授，感覺這似乎已不再是一個遊戲了。
教授平靜的說：「請再劃掉一個。」
女生遲疑著，艱難的做著選擇......
她舉起粉筆，劃掉了父母的名字。
「請再劃掉一個。」身邊又傳來了教授的聲音。
她驚呆了，顫巍巍地舉起粉筆緩慢而堅決的又劃掉了兒子的名字。
緊接著，她哇的一聲哭了，樣子非常痛苦。
教授等她平靜了一下，問道：「和你最親的人應該是你的父母和你的孩子，因為父母是養育你的人，孩子是你親生的，而丈夫是可以重新再尋找的，為什麼丈夫反倒是你最難割捨的人呢？」
同學們靜靜地看著她，等待著她的回答。
女生平靜而又緩慢地說道：「隨著時間的推移，父母會先我而去，孩子長大成人後肯定也會離我而去，真正陪伴我度過一生的只有..我的丈夫。」
其實，生活就像洋蔥，一片一片地剝開，總有一片會讓我們流淚

黑點

2008-05-17T14:00:00.001+08:00

有位老師進了教室，在白板上點了一個黑點。
他問班上的學生說：「這是什麼？」
大家都異口同聲說：「一個黑點。」
老師故作驚訝的說：「只有一個黑點嗎？這麼大的白板大家都沒有看見？」
試想：你看到的是什麼？每個人身上都有一些缺點，但是你看到的是那些呢？是否只有看到別人身上的「黑點」，卻忽略了他擁有了一大片的白板（優點）？其實每個人必定都有許多的優點，換一個角度去看吧!!你會有更多新的發現。

It has been some time since I start blogging, I like to post up whatever that attracted my attention especially those hilarious, cute, funny, interesting, knowledgeable jokes.

Whatever....

Q: How can jokes be knowledgeable?
A:Then the knowledgeable is for other stuff.

Actually some jokes are quite knowledgeable (to me). Sorry for the poor English by the way. (still improving on it)

I seem to go further and further from title of the day.

Actually, I just wish to know among 4 categories that I have posted which one will be most sell able?

This is my guess:
Interesting > 精彩文章 > My blog > 《檞寄生》

《檞寄生》 is a very good book, I highly recommend those that are able to read Chinese to read it when you're free. Thumbs up for the book as well as the author. I guess 《檞寄生》will have the least reader because it is in Chinese and it is quite long. Me myself, do not like to read too long story in computer except it really worth reading & meaningful.

To my surprise, the first I obtained is from《檞寄生》.

So, the moral of the story is.........

I'm trying hard to make everything look short & interesting. (Too much report witting during tertiary education-Thanks to my lecturerS) Else I need to open:
Category 5: Bed time story.

Nuffnang

2008-05-14T08:39:00.002+08:00

Nowadays, Nuffnang seems to be quite popular among blogger, I can see it in most of the blogs.
Since my blog has plenty of free spaces, why not have a try! It doesn't bother me after all.

I have read the terms and conditions, ways to generate income. blar blar blar.

From my understanding, as long as there is unique visitor or someone click on it (definitely not me myself), they will generate income to you.

May be due a bit of curiosity add-on a bit of hand itchiness, whenever I see there is Nuffnang's advertisement on others' blogs, I will click on it spontaneously. Wonder how much it helps with just a small little click by me? If it really work out, then you must be thankful that I visited to your site. Haha! I don't lose any thing as well. Why not?

To your surprise (may be not surprise at all),
I have placed Nuffnang with me for almost 2 months. I did not check my account at all. Today I sign in and check my account, guess how much earnings it has generated?

Rm0.75.... Better than nothing.

I learnt that I only can cash out the money if my avenue reaches RM50. I pressed on my calculator, it came out with the figure of 133 months.

Let's see what I will do with this money. I guess I will use it as education fund for my kids. (Haha, just kidding - I not even married yet)

I will update here, if my calculator doesn't speak the truth.
If you seen Nuffnang in my recycle Bin, I guess you understand what it means.

Donkey's Tale‏

2008-05-14T01:54:00.000+08:00

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a
well. The animal cried piteously for hours as
the farmer tried to figure out what to do.

Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the
well needed to be covered up anyway;
it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and
help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began
to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the
donkey realized what was happening and cried
horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he
quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally
looked down the well. He was astonished at what
he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his
back, the donkey was doing something amazing.
He would shake it off and take a step up.

As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel
dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it
off and take a step up.

Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey
stepped up over the edge of the well and
happily trotted off!

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds
of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well
is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of
our troubles is a steppingstone.. We can get out
of the deepest wells just by not stopping,
never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.

Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.

Live simply and appreciate what you have.
Give more.

Expect less

NOW............

Enough of that crap. . ..The donkey later came back,
and bit the farmer who had tried to bury him.
The gash from the bite got infected and
the farmer eventually died in agony from septic shock.

MORAL FROM TODAY'S LESSON:

When you do something wrong, and try to cover
your ass, it always comes back to bite you.

You have two choices...smile and close this
page, or pass this along to
spread the fun.

有一女孩子特别丑，都老处女了也嫁不出去。最后，她想了个办法，如果能被人贩子抓走，然后卖给别人家当媳妇就好了。所以她就每天晚上在最危险的街道溜达，哪里听说有女性失踪，就去哪里。

工夫不负有心人，幸福真的降临了！！！两个绑匪趁她不备，蒙上了她的头，塞上车，绑架了。运输的路上，她一直沉浸在幸福和喜悦中，非常的配合绑匪。到了绑匪的据点，两绑匪把她拉到首领那里，高兴的要领功！！首领一拉开她的面罩，头领楞了！！半天说不出话来。
啪-- 啪--
就给他们一人一巴掌，狂吼道：“你们这不是毁我名声吗，以后怎么让我在黑道上混？？赶快给我送回去” 。于是，首领亲自跟那俩绑匪送她回绑架的地方。车到了绑架她的地方，结果无论绑匪们说什么，她也不下车，她非要跟他们走， “我要嫁人！ ” ，女人委屈的说。首领咬了咬牙，最后说了一句话：
“车不要了，咱们走！！ ” 。。。。。。

Mother's Day

2008-05-11T20:52:00.005+08:00

This morning, we went to Bukit Jalil Stadium, as there is an event organize by Tzu chi Society. There, we get to eat vegetarian food for free. Their food is tasty and wont be too oily. I like their seaweed popiah. They even have banana in one of its popiah variety. I can say is that they're quite creative. Thumbs up!
They organized many meaningful activities such as recycle, donation, yoga, chinese calligraphy and many more. I supposed there are more than 10,000 participants.

In one of their booth, Tzu chi members teach a lot of children to make flowers for their mothers. I made one too, this is how it looks. Making this flower looks easy but actually quite challenging for someone like me that abandoned my art classes for more than 5 years. It as well reminds me my life back in kindergarten decades ago.

Perodua Nautica

2008-05-10T22:03:00.007+08:00

This is how Perodua Nautica looks like!
Perodua Nautica is Perodua Kembara's successor which was launched in this month.

Today, I went to their showroom in Petaling Jaya. There is not much people in the showroom compare years back when they lauched their brand new Perodua Myvi. According to the salesman, the company is trying to cut cost for this product which is 97% made and imported from Japan. (quite near to fully imported)

Perodua Nautica is selling with only 1 variant price at RM89,900 OTR with insurance with two colour choices, either grey or black. It comes with a longitudinally mounted 1.5 liter DWT engine. Nautica is an essential Perodua-badged version of Daihatsu Terious. This is how Toyota Terious looks like!

Aren't they look alike?

Perodua intends to take 5% of SUV market with the sales of about 200 units monthly with Nautical. The petrol comsuption of Nautica is Rm0.16 - Rm0.17/km which is around Rm0.01 higher compare to Perodua Myvi and it is more spacious compare to Perodua Kembara. I will prefer if it comes with leather seats with other colour choices like methalic silver (I like most). Anyway, Perodua nautica will still be a good choice for those who looking for imported SUV with an affordable price.

Valentine's day
Mother's day
Father's day

Students' day
Teachers' day
Christmas day.....

Malaysia is a multi-racial country with a population more than 26 million which consists of Malay, Chinese and Indian as well as other races. As the result, we have
Hari Raya
Chinese New Year
Deepavali.....

Who will be the happiest in these days? The business men out there? or the love one?
Both, I guess. Actually these days are celebrated as a sign of appreciation for those people around us for their contribution, their help as well as their care to us. These days are celebrated as sign of our concern, to show our care in return as well.

So, we just show our love & appreciation to them in these special days? How about other days? If we celebrate with them in 1 day, they will be happy for just a day. Why not everyday? For me, I will choose to celebrate Mother's day, Father's day, Valentine's day everyday.

Mother's day will be coming soon. I will take this opportunity the greet all those mothers out there Happy Mother's day. I am still scratching my head to find a present for my mum. Happy mother's day to my mum as well!

公车上

2008-05-08T13:50:00.015+08:00

不是我的

一天在拥挤的公车上的一段对话情形如下：　　
一个站着的怀孕妇人对着她身旁坐着的一位男子说：“你不知道我怀孕了吗？”（想让他让座）

只见男子很紧张的说：“孩子不是我的！”

打架

在公车後座坐了一排建中的学生在聊天。车开到景美时，上来一个北一女的学生和她弟弟。车开到新店时，北一女的弟弟看见车外有两只狗在交配，弟弟就仰起头来问身旁的姐姐：「它们在做什麽，姐姐？」

身为淑女姐姐当然不好意思说它们在ＸＸ以免教坏小孩，只好跟弟弟说：「它们在打架啦！」

结果，这些话被坐在最後座的那群建中的听到了，并笑成一团。这时，北一女的姐姐就翻过来狠狠瞪着後排这些建中的学生，这时建中的一个学生就说：「看什麽看，想打架啊！」

公車上的一席話

因假日的關係，上了公車見座位幾乎已客滿，突然發現還有個博愛座，管了，先坐下如須讓位再說！當車子靠站再啟動後，看到前面有位身懷六甲的婦人，手裏還牽個三四歲的小女孩，我趕緊起身讓座，那婦人連連道謝後入座。

一路上，小女孩一直望著我，當時我還以爲是我長得白白胖胖，看起來還滿「古錐」，這小女孩一定是想跟我玩。

我正得意地猛對她點頭時，小女孩突然問她媽媽：「媽媽！爲什麽這個阿姨長得好胖喔﹖跟嘟嘟一樣！」

天啊！我當時愣住了，同時也發現不知有幾十對眼睛看著我，真恨不得能挖個洞鑽下去。
結果小女孩的媽媽，給了一佪我出乎意料的回答 ----
她對孩子說：「妹妹，妳喜不喜歡花﹖」小女孩開心地回答：「很喜歡啊！」
「那妳能不能告訴媽媽，花有幾種顔色﹖」
只見小女孩連忙將手指頭伸出來，算給她媽媽聽：「花有白色的，還有黃色、紅色、粉紅色.... 」
婦人又問：「那妳喜歡大朵的，還是小朵的﹖」小女孩回答「都喜歡」。
婦女接著對她女兒說：「人也是一樣啊！有胖胖的，有瘦瘦的，只要是好人，妳是不是也和媽媽一樣都喜歡﹖」
小女孩天真無邪地望著我，然後對我說：「阿姨，妳是好人，我喜歡妳。」
內心真有波濤洶湧的感動，這位孩子的媽不但替我解了圍，也給小女孩一個正確的觀念。不久，婦人帶著她的小孩起身下車了，我沒來得及說謝謝，但我心中將永遠無法忘懷，這位有智慧的媽媽對她小孩說的那段話。

試想過去的一些經驗，一般的媽媽反可能有哪幾種：
1. 自掃門前雪：妹妹不可以這樣說阿姨(大姊姊)喔～然後就不理人了。這是最壞的示範。
2.機會教育型：妹妹不可以這樣說阿姨(大姊姊)喔～快跟阿姨說對不起！雖然教導了孩子，卻再一次傷了別人的心。
3.代罪羔羊型：媽媽親自說：對不起！對不起！小孩子不懂事，有口無心。沒有教到孩子，似乎意指小孩口無遮攔，卻說出真實的一面。……等等。

也許大家還有不同的際遇，但似乎都不是很好的方式，重點是妹妹傷了人之後，媽媽還當了加重二次傷害的幫兇。上文中媽媽用有巧妙的比喻，不但化解危機、免除當事人的尷尬，同時潛移默化中，孩子也學到不要以貌取人。
父母能以小朋友能懂的方式適當的去教，除了孩子能接受之外，對以後處事的態度也會有不同，希望藉由這篇文章，給各位作個勉勵～

Shihlin Taiwan Street Snack

2008-05-08T13:00:00.003+08:00

They are expanding fast and currently having 11 franchises in Malaysia . The word Shihlin came from the Shihlin night market in Taiwan.

Cuisine: Taiwanese
Food: Handmade Oyster Mee Sua, XXL Crispy Chicken, Seafood Tempura, Crispy Floss Egg Crepe.
Drink: mineral water, V-soy soya bean milk

In Shihlin Taiwan Street Snack, One Utama, the shop is really small with approximately 10 seats but in a strategic location near the entrance to the TGV Cinema in One Utama's old wing and is always full during weekends.

Shihlin taiwan street snacks is famous for its Oyster mee sua as main dish and others snacks.
I love their Handmade Oyster Mee Sua, seafood tempura and soya bean milk. Thumbs up! Can have a try for those never been there. Just that their food is filled with lots of MSG, feel thirsty after taking the food there.

Alvin Cheng

"It's a Singaporean company by the way. Supposedly they paid a Taiwanese chef a lot of money (5 figure amount) to teach them recipes!"

"All the food is filled with MSG, though looks unhealthy, but it could be quite tempting."

"Uncle Bob’s chicken in night markets is waaaay better compare to their XXL Crispy Chicken."

This is what happens during Job Fair in China.

China produces more than a million graduates a year. Singapore produces around 5,000 graduates a year. If 10 - 20% of China graduates cannot find jobs at homes and 1 - 2% heading to Singapore a year. It will flood the market easily. This will happen when their markets are saturated in times to come. English proficiency is improving by leaps and abounds in these countries due to competitive markets.

美国飞机发明家莱特兄弟，是一对很善於思索又刻苦钻研的兄弟，可是他们却是一对最不善於交际的难兄难弟，他们最讨厌的就是演讲。

有一天在某个盛宴上，酒过三巡，主持者便请大莱特发表演说。

[这一定是弄错了吧！]大莱特为难地说。
[演说是归舍弟负责的。]於是小莱特便站起来说道∶[谢谢各位，家兄刚才已经演讲过了。]就这样推来推去，人们还是不放过兄弟两。
经各界人士再三邀请，小莱特只说了这样一句话∶

[椐我所知，鸟类中会说话的只有鹦鹉，而鹦鹉是飞不高的。]

这只有一句话的演讲，博得人们长时间的日烈鼓掌。有时候话不用多说，有用的一句便够了。

At last, I am done with my performance appraisal. I should have appraised weeks back , But due to my appraiser is busy with his work so being delay until today. He is my HOD (head of department). I was thrilled that everything go smoothly. After all, undeniable that my HOD is very nice and friendly. He is quite a quiet person. Thumbs up and respect to him!

I have join this company for almost 3 months. Glad to say that everything is good here; environment, people and my HOD.

I have offered myself in some projects, most probably will be busy starting from next week.

I will update my blog once I am free. This week, I have uploaded quite a number of articles here as I am quite free.

愛情與婚姻

2008-05-06T13:53:00.001+08:00

有一天柏拉圖問老師囌格拉，到底什麽是愛情？
囌格拉叫他到麥田走一次，不要回頭地走，
在途中要摘一顆最大最好的麥，但只可以摘一次。

柏拉圖覺得很容易，充滿信心地出去，
誰知過了半天他乃沒有回來。

最後，他垂頭喪氣出現在老師的面前，訴説空手而囘的原因：
“很難得見一株看是不錯的，卻不知道是不是最好，
不得已，因爲止可以摘一株，只好放棄。
再看看有沒有更好的，卻發現已經走到盡頭時，
才發覺手上一稞麥都沒有。。。。。。”

這時，囌格拉告訴他：“這就是愛情”

有一天博拉圖又問老師囌格拉，到底什麽是婚姻？
囌格拉叫他到杉樹林走一次，不要回頭地走，
在途中要取一顆最好，最適合用來儅聖誕樹的樹材，
但只可以摘一次。

博拉圖有了商會的教訓，充滿信心地出去，
半天后，他一生疲憊地拖了一顆看起來直挺，翠綠，卻有點稀疏地杉樹。

囌格拉問他：“這就是最好的樹材嗎？”
博拉圖回答老師：“因爲只可以取一顆，
好不容易看見一顆看似不錯的，
又發現時間，體力已經快不夠用了，也不管是不是最好的，
所以就拿回來了。。。。。。”

這時，囌格拉告訴他：“這就是婚姻”

鐵軌

2008-05-06T10:15:00.004+08:00

有兩條鐵軌，
一條還在使用，一條已經停用

有一群小朋友在外面玩
只有一個小朋友選擇在停用的鐵軌上玩
其他的小朋友全都在仍在使用的鐵軌上玩

很不巧的，火車來了
（而且理所當然的往上面有很多小孩的，仍在使用的鐵軌上行駛）
而你正站在鐵軌的切換器旁，因此你能讓火車轉往停用的鐵軌
這樣的話你就可以救了大多數的小朋友
但是那名在停用鐵軌上的小朋友將被犧牲

你會怎麽辦？

........................

據說大多數人會選擇救多一些的人
換句話說，犧牲那名在停用鐵軌上玩的小孩...
　
但是這又引出另一個問題
那一名選擇停用鐵軌的小孩顯然是做出正確決定
脫離了他的朋友而選擇了安全的地方
而他的朋友們則是無知的選擇在不該玩耍的地方玩
爲什麽做出正確抉擇的人
要爲了大多數人的無知而犧牲呢？

這篇文章蠻發人深省的，
我們常被教育要顧全大局，但公平嗎？
似乎當大家都做的理所當然的時候，
我們就必須隨波逐流，
否則就會被放逐而不容於世，

如漁父中那位老翁勸屈原所說的：
世人皆濁，何不淈其泥而揚其波？
衆人皆醉，何不餔其糟而歠其醨？
何故深思高舉，自令放爲？

當一個人太堅持自己是"對"的，
最後的下場可能就是被犧牲的可憐鬼!
又有誰會爲他掬一把同情之淚？
只會嘲笑他的愚蠢!

我們已經入了社會，學習的就是圓滑的做人，
當你是主管，就像文章中那位切換軌道的人，
內心的正義與現實衝突時，你會如何抉擇呢？
不過～如果是我的話，我並不會選擇切換軌道

因爲，我認爲那群小朋友一定知道那是活的軌道
所以，當他們聽到火車的聲音時，就會知道要跑
但若，將軌道切換後那個乖小孩必定慘死，
因爲，他從來沒想過火車還會開到廢軌道上
所以，你認爲呢？

或許我這樣的想法與理念，
到了我老時才會發現　　
我是個不斷被犧牲的可憐鬼，
但這個社會又爲什麽要把是與非顛倒來又顛倒去呢？

另外，你們在想想，
一條鐵道會被停止使用，是否代表著這個鐵道有著潛藏的危機呢？
如果切過去之後，被犧牲的就不只是一個或一群小孩了，　　
而是整車的乘客呢？
大家想想吧！

有時候您贏了，但其實您輸了!

Purple Bell,

一對年輕的夫婦正在所租的小套房裡為著添購新家具的事情而鬧彆扭，女的口才犀利，男的剛毅木納。過沒多久，作老公的就已處於挨轟的態勢。
不一會兒, 兩個人都嚷得精疲力盡，說不出話來，這時前幾分鐘一直被迫採低姿態的先生忽然開口了，他感慨地對他所愛的老婆說：「老婆，就算妳講得全都對，但為了辯贏我，而毀掉一整個晚上的氣氛，值得嗎？」

[為了辯贏我，而毀掉一整個晚上的氣氛，值得嗎？」雖是短短的幾個字，卻多麼值
得我們這些講求「贏」為目的的現代人省思啊！

我很喜歡一句名言：「有時候您贏了，但其實您輸了！」可不是嗎？
有時候您贏了面子，但其實您輸了感情；有時候您贏了口舌，但其實您輸了形象；
有時候您贏了好處，但其實您輸了友誼 ……，
總之，有時候您看似贏了，實際上您卻輸了！
待人處事固然應該「據理」，但卻不一定要臉紅脖子粗地在那兒「力爭」！
理直氣「和」的態度，絕對比理直氣「壯」，更易為人所接受。

My spectacles

2008-05-05T13:11:00.005+08:00

I have many pairs of specs. I changed my spectacles annually.

For your information, I found that making a pair of spectacles in Skudai, Johore is much cheaper compare to Selangor. / Kuala Lumpur. Most probably this is due to competitive markets of University students there. In Skudai, an adult get to make a pair of glasses with lots of design choices and computer lens with just as little as RM 200. In Kuala Lumpur however, even moderate design children spectacles exceed that amount.

My previous spectacles

Year of purchase: 2007
Price: Rm180
Material: stainless steel, computer lens.
Brand: Rustica
Location: shop in Taman University, skudai.

My latest spectacles

Year of purchase: 2008
Price: nearly RM 1k
Material: Titanium, index 1.6 computer lens.
Brand: Nikon
Location: MOG in Mines Shopping Center

One of my friend's friend worked with MOG previously. My friend told me that MOG offer a quite reasonable price.
As far as I am concerned, their price is just average,not too high;not too low. The sales man that served me over there is not really generous in discount. So, be a smart consumer! Ask them for more discount, especially those who makes a few pair of glasses for their loves one. If you are free, why not going around, get the best quote for yourself since there is plenty of spectacles shop.

In terms of after sales services, MOG salesperson will just hand you over your spectacles. You then need to play around with your new spectacles and called upon them if you encounter any problems. Not like my previous shop, where the sales person will sit down with you and help you to adjust your specs making sure everything is in order before leaving you.

Story: Proud to be an engineer
By: @n0nymou$

A group of engineers and a group of HR people take a train to a conference. Each HR person holds a ticket. But the entire group of engineers has bought only one ticket for a single passenger. The HR people are just shaking their heads and are secretly pleased that the arrogant engineers will finally get what they deserve.

Suddenly one of the engineers calls out: “The conductor is coming!”. At once, all the engineers jump up and squeeze into one of the toilets. The conductor checks the tickets of the HR people. When he notices that the toilet is occupied he knocks on the door and says: “Ticket, please!” One of the engineers slides the single ticket under the doors and the conductor continues merrily on his round.

For the return trip the HR people decide to use the same trick. They buy only one ticket for the entire group but they are baffled as they realize that the engineers didn’t buy any tickets at all. After a while one of the engineers announces again: “The conductor is coming!” Immediately all the HR people race to a toilet and lock themselves in.

All the engineers leisurely walk to the other toilet. Before the last engineer enters the toilet, he knocks on the toilet occupied by the HR people and says: “Ticket, please!”

And the moral of the story?

HR people like to use the methods of the engineers, but they don’t really understand them.

@n0nymou$

If you're an engineer, be proud of yourself.
If you are a HR officer, do not take it seriously, it's just a story after all, nothing personal.

Fishing

2008-05-04T23:11:00.002+08:00

When it comes to fishing, many of us would think of a guy with a cap on his head while holding a fishing rod.
How many of us would realise that fishing is actually very challenging and need patience? Love need patience as well.

LOVE

If every one of us is just allowed to pick up a fish once in our life,
Using any method we could find in a fast-flowing river.
Will you able to get the one you love most?
What if it belongs to someone?
Not so unfortunate I guess.

You were in the river,
Another small fish coming your way.
"Not again", you yelled.
You are waiting very patiently,
Praying very hard,
Just for a big fish.
You were lucky that evening.
You get the one you love after lots of effort.
When you're ready for a celebration,
A bigger fish appeared!
"Why didn't I wait a little longer", you blamed

Alvin Cheng

What will you do if you are the one in the river? Will you blame yourself for picking it up too soon?
If you plan to wait, are you sure there is bigger fish behind?
Or you choose to disobey the rule by throwing the small fish back to river?
Some of my naughty friends told me they want both. I advised them to discuss it with the small fish. Who knows, the small fish don't mind as well?

For me, if I am the boy, I will choose to keep the small fish to be fair, since I am the one that pick it up. So small fish, what you think?

Either you are the boy in the river, the small fish or the big fish, all your feedback are most welcomed!

The best way to lose weight!

2008-05-04T22:14:00.005+08:00

Note: This is not a spam (Story by @N0nymou$)

For those trying to lose weight:

A Men-Only Weight Loss Program...

A guy calls a company and orders their 5-day, 10 lb. weight loss program. The next day, there's a knock on the door and there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19 year old babe with a sign around her neck.

She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company. The sign reads, 'If you can catch me, I'm yours.'

Without a second thought, he takes off after her. A few miles later huffing and puffing, he finally gives up. The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens. On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 10 lbs. as promised.

He calls the company and orders their 5-day/20 pound program. The next day there's a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning, beautiful, sexy woman he has ever seen in his life. She is wearing a skimpy running outfit, running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, 'If you catch me, I'm yours.'

Well, he's out the door after her like a shot. This girl is in excellent shape and he does his best, but no such luck. So for the next four days, the same routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better shape.

Much to his delight on the fifth day when he weighs himself, he discovers that he has lost another 20 lbs. as promised. He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7-day/50 pound program.

'Are you sure?' asks the representative on the phone. 'This is our most rigorous program.'

'Absolutely,' he replies, 'I haven't felt this good in years.'

The next day there's a knock at the door; and when he opens it he finds a huge muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads, 'If I catch you, you're mine.'

He lost 63 pounds that week.

Start with the beginning or the end?

I was told a blog is like a story book; stories that unique from one to others. When you read blogs, you are reading stories behind the writer. Through blogs, we get to understand the author better.

We read story books from first page to the last, aren't we? Is it means that we should read blogs from the earliest post? Somehow, I prefer reading articles begin with the last post. but in the end, who cares? As long as d articles r interesting & u r hppay wtih it, it is not a big dael!

How To Use a Tachymeter

2008-05-01T17:03:00.001+08:00

What is Chronograph? What is Tachymeter?

A chronograph is a timepiece or watch with both timekeeping and stopwatch functions.
A tachymeter or known as tacheometer is a kind of theodolite used for rapid measurements and determines the distance to target, and is highly automated in its operations.
Using the Tacho-productometer (TPM) scale
1, 10, 100 or 1,000 etc. units (such as Km – kilometre) are indicated by the seconds hand. When stopped the seconds hand points to the figure on the TPM scale by which the number of units (1, 10, 1,000 etc.) must be multiplied to obtain production rate or per-hour speed.

Examples:

• A racing car covers one kilometre in 30 seconds.
The seconds hand stopped upon completion of the mile at the 120 mark on the TPM. Average speed of the car = 120 X 1, or, 120 km per hour.

• A bicycle covers one kilometre in 45 seconds.
The seconds hand stopped upon completion of the mile at the 80 mark on the TPM.
Average speed of the car = 80 X 1, or, 80 km per hour.

My current watch – Swiss Chronoforce

2008-05-01T16:40:00.001+08:00

Year of Purchase : 2008
Price : RM380

Have you observed that my current watch is quite similar with my previous watch in terms of design. Wonder why! I really love chronograph tachymeter watch with black dial.

Some one is going to present me a watch. So happy! Cant wait to receive my new watch! I will post up here once I have received it.

My first watch – B.U.M Equipment

2008-05-01T15:52:00.001+08:00

Year of Buy : 2000
Price : RM 300

I love it once I see it, so I decided to purchase it. Though it is made of stainless steel, but after some time, the steel seem to be dull in colour and the stop watch malfunction after some time. However it has a long battery life. This watch last about 5 years.

This time, before I get my second watch, I do some research and get some from information from some watch specialists known to me. They suggested me to go for brands like Casio, Seiko, or other Swiss made watch (exclude Swatch) as they are more professional in field of manufacturing watches.

Swatch is not suggested in the top list of selection because firstly, it is made of plastic. Moreover, one of my friends wearing this brand complains that the glass of his Swatch watch has broken but unable to get a repair, so he has to buy a new one. But the pro is that it is very easy to change the battery, you can do it DIY.

檞寄生

※ 檞寄生 ※

『台北火車站。』
左腳剛跨入計程車開了四分之一的門，
右腳還沒來得及甩掉沾上鞋底的濕泥，我便丟下這一句。
「回娘家嗎？」
司機隨口問了一句，然後笑了起來。

我也笑了起來。
雖然是大年初二，但我卻是單身一人，只有簡單的背包。
還有，我是男的。
即使雨下得很大，仍然只能改變我的髮型，而不是性別。
我不是高橋留美子筆下的亂馬，所以不會因為淋到冷水而變成女生。

「今天真冷。」
『嗯。』
「淋濕了吧？車後有面紙，請用。」
『謝謝。』
「趕著坐火車？」
『嗯。』
「回家嗎？」
『不。找朋友。』
「一定是很重要的朋友。」
『嗯。』

下了雨的台北，陌生得令人害怕。
看來我雖然在這個城市工作了半年，卻從來沒有認真生活過。
不知道為什麼，我就是無法融入這城市的血液。
台北的脈動也許左右著我的喜怒哀樂，卻始終得不到我的靈魂。
我像是吳宮中的西施，身體陪伴著夫差，但心裡還是想著范蠡。

隔著車窗，行人像一尾尾游過的魚，只有動作，沒有聲音。
好安靜啊，彷彿所有的聲音都被困在黑洞裡。
我知道黑洞能困住所有的物質和能量，甚至是光。
但聲音能從黑洞裡逃脫嗎？高中時有同學問過物理老師這個問題。
「聲音？你聽過有人在黑洞中叫救命的嗎？」
老師說完後陶醉於自己的幽默感中，放聲大笑。
也許我現在的腦袋就像黑洞，困住了很多聲音，這些聲音到處流竄。
包括我的，荃的，還有明菁的。

「165元，新年快樂。」
『喔？…謝謝。新年快樂。』
回過神，付了車錢。
抓起背包，關上車門，像神風特攻隊衝向航空母艦般，我衝進車站。
排隊買票的人群，把時空帶到1949年的上海碼頭，我在電影上看過。
那是國民黨要撤退到台灣時的景象。
我不想浪費時間，到自動售票機買了張月台票，擠進月台。
我沒有明確的目標，只有方向。

往南。

【一】

當這些字都成灰燼，我便在你胸口了

月台上的人當然比車站大廳的人少，不過因為空間小，所以更顯擁擠。
車站大廳的人通常焦急，月台上的人則只是等待。
而我呢？
我是焦急地等待。
愛因斯坦說的沒錯，時間是相對的，不是絕對的。
等待的時間總像是失眠的黑夜一樣，無助而漫長。
而該死的火車竟跟台北市的公車一樣，你愈急著等待，車子愈晚來。

「下雨時，不要只注意我臉上的水滴，要看到我不變的笑容。」
突然想到荃曾經講過的話，我的心情頓時輕鬆不少。
那天下著大雨，她沒帶雨具跑來找我，濕淋淋地說了這句話。
『幫個忙，我會擔心妳的。』
「沒。我只是忘了帶傘，不是故意的。」
『妳吃飯時會忘了拿筷子嗎？』
「那不一樣的。」荃想了一下，撥了一下濕透的頭髮：
「筷子是為了吃飯而存在，但雨傘卻不是為了見你一面而存在。」
荃是這樣的，她總是令我擔心，我卻無法說服她不令我擔心。

相對於明菁，荃顯得天真，但是她們都是善良的人。
善良則是相對於我而言。
「為什麼你總是走在我左手邊呢？」
『左邊靠近馬路，比較危險。』
明菁停下腳步，把我拉近她，笑著說：
「你知道嗎？你真的是個善良的人。」
『會嗎？還好吧。』
「雖然大部分的人都很善良，但你比他們更善良。」
我一直很想告訴明菁，被一個善良的人稱讚善良是件尷尬的事。
就像顏回被孔子稱讚博學般地尷尬。

我慢慢將腦袋裡的聲音釋放出來，這樣我才能思考。
這並不容易，所有的聲音不僅零散而雜亂，而且好像被打碎後再融合。
我得試著在爆炸後的現場，拼湊出每具完整的屍體。
然後我開始意識到我是否正在做一件瘋狂的事。
是瘋狂吧，我想。
從今天早上打開香菸盒想拿菸出來抽時就開始了。
搞不好從突然想抽菸這件事開始，就已經算是瘋狂。
因為我戒菸半年了。

有一次柏森問我這輩子做過最瘋狂的事是什麼？
我想了半天，只能想出鑰匙忘了帶所以從10樓陽台翻進窗戶開門的事。
「這叫找死，不是瘋狂。」
『熬了兩天夜準備期末考，考完後馬上去捐血。算嗎？』
「仍然是找死。」
『騎腳踏車時放開雙手，然後做出自由式和蛙式的游泳動作呢？』
「那還是叫找死！」

後來我常用同樣的問題問身旁的同事或朋友，他們的答案就精彩多了。
當然也有一面跑馬拉松一面抽菸這種找死的答案。
有人甚至告訴我，總統大選時投票給陳水扁是最瘋狂的事。
他是公司裡一位快退休的工程師，20年忠貞的國民黨員。
他的思想偏右，立場偏右，據說連穿四角內褲時也是把命根子擺右邊。
『那為什麼你要投給陳水扁呢？』
「如果當你年老時，發現自己從沒做過瘋狂的事，你不會覺得遺憾嗎？」

我也許還不算老，但我已經開始覺得遺憾了。
記得有次柏森在耍白爛，他說：
「你沒有過去，因為你的過去根本不曾發生；
你也沒有未來，因為你的未來已經過去了。
你不可能變老，因為你從未年輕過；
你也不可能年輕，因為你已經老了。」
他說得沒錯，在某種意義上，我的確就是這麼活著。
「你不會死亡，因為你沒有生活過。」
那麼我究竟是什麼？柏森並沒有回答我。

像一株檞寄生吧，明菁曾經這麼形容我。

終於有火車進站了，是班橘色的莒光號。
我往車尾走去，那是乘客較少的地方。
而且如果火車在平交道發生車禍，車頭前幾節車廂通常會有事。
因為沒看到火車經過，才會闖平交道，於是很容易跟火車頭親密接觸。
更不用說拋錨在鐵軌上的車輛被火車迎頭撞上的事故了。
只可惜，乘客太多了，任何一節車廂都是。
我不忍心跟一群抱著小孩又大包小包的婦女搶著上車。
嘆了口氣，揹上背包，退開三步，安靜等待。

火車汽笛聲響起，我成了最後一節車廂最後上車的乘客。
我站在車門最下面的階梯，雙手抓住車門內的鐵桿，很像滑雪姿勢。
砰的一聲巨響，火車起動了。
我回過頭看一下月台，還有一些上不了車的人和送行的人。
這很容易區別，送行的人會揮舞著右手告別；
上不了車的人動作比較簡單，只是豎起右手中指。

唸小學時每次坐車出去玩，老師都會叮嚀：「不要將頭手伸出窗外。」
我還記得有個頑皮的同學就問：「為什麼呢？」
老師說：「這樣路旁的電線桿會斷掉好幾根啊！」
說完後自己大笑好幾聲，好像動物園中突然發情的台灣彌猴。
很奇怪，我通常碰到幽默感不怎麼高明的老師。
我那時就開始擔心長大後的個性，會不會因為被這種老師教導而扭曲。

火車開始左右搖晃，於是我跟著前後擺動。
如果頭和手都不能伸出窗外，那麼腳呢？
我突然有股衝動，於是將左腳舉起，伸出車外，然後放開左手。
很像在表演滑水特技吧。
柏森，可惜你不能看到。這樣可以算瘋狂嗎？
再把右手放開如何？柏森一定又會說那叫找死。
所謂的瘋狂，是不是就是比衝動多一點，比找死少一點呢？

收回左腳，改換右腳。交換了幾次，開始覺得無聊。
而且一個五六歲拉著媽媽衣角的小男孩，一直疑惑地看著我。
我可不想做他的壞榜樣。
荃常說我有時看起來壞壞的，她會有點怕。
明菁也說我不夠沈穩，要試著看起來莊重一點。
她們都希望不要因為我的外在形象，而讓別人對我產生誤解。

我總覺得背負著某些東西在過日子，那些東西很沈很重。
最沈的，大概是一種叫做期望的東西。通常是別人給的。
然後是道德。
不過在學校時，道德很重，出社會後，道德就變輕了。
它們總是壓著我的肩，控制我的心，堵住我的口。
於是我把背包從肩上卸下，用雙腳夾在地上。
因為我不希望這時身上再有任何負擔。

我從外套左邊的口袋掏出菸盒，小心翼翼地拿出一根菸。
站在禁菸標誌下方的婦人帶點驚慌的眼神看著我。
我朝她搖了搖頭。
把這根菸湊近眼前，讀著上面的字：

「當這些字都成灰燼，我便在你胸口了。」

Can u guess what this place is ?

【二】

海蚌未經沙的刺痛
就不能溫潤出美麗的珍珠
於是我讓思念
不斷地刺痛我的心
只為了，給親愛的你
所有美麗的珍珠

火車剛離開板橋，開始由地下爬升到地面。
讀完第二根菸上的字後，我將身體轉180度，直接面向車外冷冽的風。
車外的景色不再是黑暗中點綴著金黃色燈光，
而是在北台灣特有的濕冷空氣浸潤下，帶點暗的綠，以及抹上灰的藍。
吹吹冷風也好，胸口的熾熱或許可以降溫。

試著弄掉鞋底的泥巴，那是急著到巷口招計程車時，在工地旁沾到的。
我差點滑倒，幸好只是做出類似體操中劈腿的動作。
那使我現在大腿內側還隱隱作痛。
站在搖晃的階梯上，稍有不慎，我可能會跟這列火車說Bye-Bye。
從我的角度看，我是靜止的；但在上帝的眼裡，我跟火車的速度一樣。
這是物理學上相對速度的觀念。
會不會當我自以為平緩地過日子時，
上帝卻認為我是快速地虛擲光陰呢？

這麼冷的天，又下著雨，總是會逼人去翻翻腦海裏的陳年舊帳。
想到無端逝去的日子，以及不曾把握珍惜過的人，
不由得湧上一股深沈的悲哀。
悲哀得令我想跳車。
火車時速每小時超過100公里，如果我掉出車門，
該以多快的速度向前奔跑才不致摔倒呢？
我想是沒辦法的，我100公尺跑13秒3，換算成時速也不過約27公里。
這時跳車是另一種形式的找死，連留下遺言的機會也沒有。

其實我跳過車的，跳上車和跳下車都有。
有次在月台上送荃回家，那天是星期日，人也是很多。
荃會害怕擁擠的感覺，在車廂內緊緊抓住座位的扶手，無助地站著。
她像貓般地弓起身，試著將身體的體積縮小，看我的眼神中暗示著驚慌。
火車起動後，我發誓我看到她眼角的淚，如果我視力是2.0的話。
我只猶豫了兩節車廂的時間，然後起跑，加速，跳上火車。
月台上響起的，不是讚美我輕靈身段的掌聲，而是管理員的哨子。

跳下車則比較驚險。
那次是因為陪明菁到台北參加考試。
火車起動後她才發現准考證遺留在機車座墊下的置物箱。
我不用視力2.0也能看到她眼睛裡焦急自責的淚。
我馬上離開座位，趕到車門，吸了一口氣，跳下火車。
由於跳車後我奔跑的速度太快，右手還擦撞到月台上的柱子。
又響起哨子聲，同一個管理員。

下意識地將雙手握緊鐵桿，我可不想再聽到哨子聲。
更何況搞不好是救護車伊喔伊喔的汽笛聲。
人生中很多事情要學著放鬆，但也有很多東西必須要抓緊。
只可惜我對每件事總是不緊不鬆。
真是令人討厭的個性啊。
我還沒有試著喜歡自己的個性前，就已經開始討厭了。

今天早上，被這種大過年的還出不了太陽的天氣弄得心浮氣躁。
思緒像追著自己尾巴的狗，在原地打轉。
明明咬不到卻又不甘心放棄，於是愈轉愈快，愈轉愈煩。
剛閃過不如抽根菸吧的念頭，腦中馬上響起明菁的斥責：
「不是說要戒菸了嗎？你的意志真不堅定。」
荃的聲音比較溫柔，她通常會嘆口氣：
「你怎麼漱口或吃口香糖都沒用的。你又偷抽兩根菸了吧？」

夠了。
我負氣地打開抽屜，找尋半年前遺落在在抽屜的那包MILD SEVEN。
點上菸，菸已經因為受潮而帶點霉味，我不在乎。
捻熄這根菸時，好像看到白色的殘骸中有藍色的影子。
仔細一看，上面用藍色細字原子筆寫了兩個字，第二個字是“謝”。
第一個字已燒去一些，不過仍可辨認為“射”。
合起來應該是“謝謝”。
謝謝什麼？難道這是MILD SEVEN公司所製造的第一千萬根香菸，
所以要招待我環遊世界？

我拿出盒內剩下的十根香菸，發現它們上面都有藍色的字。
有的只寫一行，有的要將整根菸轉一圈才能看完。
字跡雖娟秀細小，卻很清晰。一筆一劃，宛如雕刻。
再努力一點，也許會成為很好的米雕師。
菸上的字句，炙熱而火燙，似乎這些菸都已被藍色的字句點燃。

輕輕捏著菸，手指像被燙傷般地疼痛。
讀到第七根菸時，覺得胸口也被點燃。
於是穿上外套，拿起背包，直奔火車站。
我只記得再把菸一根根放回菸盒，下不下雨打不打傘都不重要了。

很後悔為什麼當初抽這包菸時，沒仔細看看每根菸。
最起碼那根寫了“謝謝”的菸，我不知道前面寫什麼。
藍色的字隨著吸氣的動作，燒成灰燼，混在尼古丁之中，進入胸口。
而後被呼出，不留痕跡。
只在胸口留下些微痛楚。
也許人生就像抽菸一樣，只在點燃時不經意地瞥一眼。
生命的過程在胸口的吐納中，化成煙圈，消失得無蹤影。

不自覺地呼出一口氣，像抽菸一樣。
因為抽菸，所以寂寞；因為寂寞，所以抽菸。
抽到後來，往往不知道抽的是菸，還是寂寞。
我想我不會再抽菸了，因為我不想又將菸上的深情燃燒殆盡。
在自己喜歡的人所抽的令自己討厭的菸上，寫下不捨和思念。
那是一種什麼樣的心情呢？

耳際響起噹噹的聲音，火車經過一個平交道。
我向等在柵欄後的人車，比了個勝利的“Ｖ”字型手勢。
很無聊，我知道。可是面對未知的結果，我需要勇氣和運氣。
如果人生的旅途中，需要抉擇的只是平交道而不是十字路口就好了。
碰到平交道，會有噹噹的警示聲和放下來阻止通行的柵欄，
那麼我們就知道該停下腳步。

可是人生卻是充斥著各種十字路口。
當十字路口的綠燈開始閃爍時，在這一瞬間，該做出什麼決定？
加速通過？或是踩住煞車？
我的腳會踩住煞車，然後停在“越線受罰”的白線上。
而通常此時黃燈才剛亮起。
我大概就是這種人，既沒有衝過去的勇氣，也會對著黃燈嘆息。
如果這是我命中註定的個性，那麼我這一生大概會過得謹慎而安全。
但卻會缺少冒險刺激的快感。
也就是說，我不會做瘋狂的事。

如果這種個性在情場上發揮得淋漓盡致呢？

【三】

我想你，已經到氾濫的極限
即使在你身邊，我依然想著你
擱淺的鯨豚想游回大海，我想你
那麼親愛的你
你想什麼？

這是第三根菸上的字。
我卡在這裏不上不下的，似乎也是另一種型式的擱淺。
還得在這輛火車上好幾個鐘頭，該想些東西來打發時間。
我該想些什麼？

跳車後應以多快速度奔跑的這類無聊事情，我可不想再多想。
那麼核四該不該興建的問題呢？
這種偉大的政治問題，就像是森林裏的大黑熊，
如果不小心碰到時，就好的辦法就是裝死。
裝死其實很好用，例如2000年總統大選時，別人問我投票給誰，
我就會死給他看。

從第一根菸開始，我總是專注地閱讀上面的文字，然後失神。
荃曾經告訴我，當我沈思時，有時看起來很憂鬱。
「可不可以多想點快樂的事情呢？」荃的語氣有些不捨。
『我不知道什麼樣的事情想起來會比較快樂。』
「那麼……」荃低下頭輕聲說：「想我時會快樂嗎？」
『嗯。』我笑了笑：『可是你現在就在我身邊，我不用想妳啊。』
荃也笑了。眼睛閃啊閃的，好像星星。

還是想點別的吧。荃是多麼地希望我快樂。
可是在這列擁擠的火車上，我實在很難想些快樂的事。
自從來台北工作後，腦袋裡想的都是工作上會碰到的工程問題，很煩。
每天接觸一大堆方程式和數字，我又開始懷念中國字了。
當初正是因為懷念中國字，所以誤打誤撞地寫了幾篇三流的愛情小說。
掐指一算，已經快一年沒寫東西了。
倒不如以火車為背景，再來構思一個故事吧。

故事中的男女主角要命運似地在火車上初次邂逅，然後相愛，是愛到
死去活來那種。可是後來發現彼此竟然是同父異母失散多年的兄妹，
痛苦之餘決定再同坐一次火車，並在火車上放置定時炸彈，打算轟轟
烈烈地殉情。炸彈引爆前十秒，火車在平交道撞上一輛黑色賓士轎車
，車內坐的是某位大官（可選擇當時民意調查滿意度最低的官員）。
誰知道他們坐在第一節車廂，當火車和轎車相撞的瞬間，他們被彈出
火車外，在空中三滾翻後掉入附近的溪流，於是沒死。那位大官比較
倒楣，先被撞死，再被炸死。本來應該追究他們的刑事責任，但由於
那位大官和總統對於核四興建的問題常常吵架，於是總統特赦他們。
男主角的八字較差，掉入溪流時撞到頭部導致失去記憶，女主角天天
到醫院照顧他，結果愛上了醫院的男醫師。男主角恢復記憶後，感慨
人世間的無常，於是開始寫小說，最後成了暢銷作家。

真是完美的故事啊，我在心裡讚嘆著。
這部小說應該可以打破愛情小說中死亡人數的最高紀錄。
也許這部小說會成為暢銷小說，然後我就變成名利雙收的暢銷作家。
那我就不必每天在電腦前演算台北發生一百年頻率洪水時，
堤防、抽水站和排水系統的設計標準。
也不必在颱風天裏留意基隆河的警戒水位，或在翡翠水庫緊急待命。
搞不好還可以在電視上主持節目，教導觀眾什麼是戀愛什麼是智慧。
或是談論一些婚外情、同性戀、未婚生子、不倫之戀的勁爆話題。
然後會有人找我拍廣告，「我就是用這種洗髮精洗頭，愈洗愈有靈感。」
想到這裡，我咧開嘴角，吃吃地笑了起來。

「媽…那個人到底在幹什麼？」
抓住媽媽衣角的小男孩，終於忍不住仰起頭輕聲地問他媽媽。
我轉過頭，看見小男孩的右手正指著我。我對著他笑一笑。
「叔叔在想事情。這樣問是很沒禮貌的哦。」
小男孩的媽媽帶著歉意的微笑，朝我點點頭。
是個年輕的媽媽，看起來年紀和我差不多，所以被叫叔叔我也只好認了。

我打量著他，是個容易讓人想疼愛的小男孩，而且我很羨慕他的好奇心。
從小我就不是個好奇寶寶，所以不會問老師或父母：
「飯明明是白色的，為什麼大便會是黃色的？」之類的問題。
我總覺得所有問題的答案，就像伸手跟父母要錢買糖果會挨巴掌；
而要錢買書或原子筆他們就會爽快地答應還會問你夠不夠那樣地單純。
單純到不允許你產生懷疑。
這也許是因為小學時看到同學問老師：「太陽為什麼會從東邊出來？」，
結果被老師罵說：「太陽當然從東邊出來，難道從你屁股出來？」
從此之後，我便把“太陽從東邊出來”當做是不容挑戰的真理。

長大後回想，猜測應該是老師那天心情不好的緣故。
至於老師為什麼會心情不好，由於他是男老師，
我也不能牽拖是生理期的關係。
可能是因為他心情鬱悶吧，因為我的家鄉是在台灣西部的濱海小鄉村。
大城市裏來的人，比較不能適應這裡近似放逐的生活。
雖然人家都說住在海邊可使一個人心胸開闊，但是日本是島國啊，
日本人多是住在海邊，咱們中國人會相信日本人心胸開闊嗎？
所以當我說我住在海邊時，並沒有暗示我心胸開闊的意思。
我只是陳述一個“太陽從東邊出來”的事實。

我算是個害羞的孩子，個性較為軟弱。
每次老師上完課後都會問：「有沒有問題？」
我總會低頭看著課本，迴避老師的目光，像做錯事的小孩。
海邊小孩喜歡釣魚，可是我不忍心把魚鉤從魚嘴裡拿出，所以我不釣魚。
海邊小孩擅長游泳，可是我有次在海邊玩水時差點滅頂，所以我不游泳。
海邊小孩皮膚很黑，可是我無論怎麼曬太陽都無法曬黑，所以我皮膚白。
總之，我是個不像海邊小孩的海邊小孩。

我在海邊經歷了小學六年、初中三年的求學階段，心胸一直不曾開闊過。
倒是髒話學了不少。
「幹，好久不見了，你死到哪？」這是老朋友之間的問候。
「你娘咧，送我這麼好的東西，幹。」這是答謝朋友的餽贈。
不管放在句首或句尾，通常都會加個“幹”字。
交情愈好，幹的愈多。
我沒有屈原那種舉世皆濁我獨清的修養，所以帶了一身髒字到城市求學。

直到遇見明菁，我才漸漸地改掉說髒話的習慣。
當然在某些情況下還是會說髒話，比如說踏到狗屎、收到成績單，
或是在電視上看到官員說：「我辭職下台又不能解決問題。」
明菁一直溫柔而耐心地糾正我的談吐，偶爾施加一點暴力。
如果沒有明菁的話，這篇小說將到處充滿著髒字。
也是因為明菁，讓我不必害怕跟別人不同。

其實我也沒有太與眾不同，起碼唸初二之前，我覺得大家都一樣。
直到有一天國文老師把我叫到跟前，告訴我：
「蔡同學，請你解釋一下這段話的意思。」
那是我寫的一篇作文，裡頭有一段：
「我跟朋友約好坐八點的火車去看電影，可是時間快到了，他還沒來。
我像是正要拉肚子的人徘徊在廁所內有某個人的廁所外面般地焦急。」
我跟老師解釋說，我很焦急，就像拉肚子想上廁所，但廁所內有人。
「你會不會覺得用這些字形容“焦急”，太長了些？」老師微笑地說。
我低頭想了一下，改成：
「我像是正要拉肚子的人徘徊於有人的廁所外面般地焦急。」

老師好像呼出一口氣，試著讓自己心情平靜。然後再問：
「你會不會覺得用另一種方式形容“焦急”，會比較好？」
我想想也對。突然想起老師曾教過詩經上的句子：
「關關雎鳩，在河之洲；窈窕淑女，君子好逑。」
於是我又改成：「我拉肚子，想上廁所；廁所有人，於是焦急。」

“啪”的一聲，老師拍了桌子，提高音量問：
「你還是不知道哪裡出錯了嗎？」
『是……是不是忘了押韻呢？』我小心翼翼地回答。
老師倏地站起身，大聲責罵：
「笨蛋！形容焦急該用“熱鍋上的螞蟻”啊！我沒教過嗎？」
『熱鍋上的螞蟻只是焦急而已……』我因為害怕，不禁小聲地說：
『可是…可是我這樣的形容還有心情很幹的意思。』
「竟然還講髒話！去跟國語推行員交五塊錢罰款！」
老師將被他弄歪的桌子扶正，手指外面：
「然後到走廊去罰站！」

從那天開始，國文老師總會特別留意我的作文。
所以我的作文簿上，一直都有密密麻麻的紅色毛筆字。
有時紅色的字在作文簿上暈開，一灘一灘的，很像吐血。
「光陰像肉包子打狗似地有去無回。」
「外表美麗而內心醜陋的人，仍然是醜陋的。就像即使在廁所外面
插滿芳香花朵，廁所還是臭的。」
「慈烏有反哺之恩，羔羊有跪乳之義，動物尚且如此，何況是人。
所以我們要記得孝順父母，就像上廁所要記得帶衛生紙。」
像這些句子，都被改掉。
有次老師甚至氣得將作文簿直接從講台上甩到我面前。

我永遠記得作文簿在空中飛行的弧度，像一架正在失速墜落的飛機。
作文簿掉落在地面時，攤開的紙上面有著鮮紅字跡：
「蔡同學，如果你再故意寫跟別人不一樣的句子，你一定會完蛋。」
這些鮮紅的字，像詛咒一般，封印住我的心靈。
從那時開始，我心靈的某部分，像冬眠一樣地沈睡著。
我不知道是哪部分，我只知道那部分應該和別人不同。

我真的不明白，“肉包子打狗”叫有去無回，光陰也是啊，
為什麼這樣形容不行？
而形容每個人出生的樣子叫“呱呱墜地”，可是我們是人又不是鴨子，
怎麼會“呱呱”呢？
但是我不敢問，只好說服自己這些東西是“太陽從東邊出來”的真理。
久而久之，我開始害怕自己跟別人不同的思考模式。

只可惜這些事在老師圈子裡傳開，於是很多老師上課時都會特別關照我。
常常有事沒事便在課堂上叫我站起來回答一些阿里不達的問題。
我好像是一隻動物園裡的六腳猴子，總是吸引遊客們的好奇眼光。
我只好開始學會沈默地傻笑，或是搔搔頭表示無辜。
甚至連體育老師也會說：
「來，蔡同學。幫我們示範一下什麼叫空中挺腰然後拉竿上籃。」
你娘咧，我又不是喬丹，挺個屁腰，拉個鳥竿！
對不起，明菁。我又講髒話了，我是俗辣，下次不會再犯了。

因為被莫名其妙地當作怪異的人，所以我也是無可奈何地生活著。
即使想盡辦法讓自己跟別人一樣，大家還是覺得我很奇怪。
我只希望安靜地在課堂上聽講，老師們的捉弄卻一直沒停止。
這種情況可以算是「生欲靜而師不止，子欲養而親不待」嗎？
如果我又把這種形容寫在作文簿上，恐怕還會再看一次飛機墜落。

幸好我高中唸的是所謂的明星高中，老師們關心的只是升學率的高低。
我的成績始終保持在中上，不算好也不算壞，因此不會被特別注意。
其實如果這時候被特別注意的話，好像也不是壞事。
記得聯考前夕，班上一位很有希望考上台大醫科的同學患了重感冒，
於是忍不住在課堂上咳嗽出聲。
老師馬上離開講桌，輕撫著那位同學的背，悲傷的眼裡滿是哀悽。
還說出你就像是我的孩子，你感冒比我自己感冒還令我痛苦之類的話。
我敢打賭，如果咳嗽的是我，一定會以妨礙上課安寧為由，
被趕到走廊去罰站。

高中的課業又多又重，我無暇去關心總統是誰市長是誰之類的問題。
反正高中生又沒投票權，選舉時也不會有人拿錢來孝敬我。
連那時流行的日本偶像明星中森明菜和松田聖子，我都會搞混。
偶爾會關心中華隊在國際比賽的成績，輸了的話當然會難過，
但這種難過跟考試考不好的難過相比，算是小巫見大巫。
感謝老天，我終於會跟大家一樣用“小巫見大巫”這類普通的形容詞。
而不是再用“小鳥見老鷹”、“爛鳥比雞腿”之類的白爛詞。

高三時，班上的導師在放學前夕，都會握緊拳頭激動地問我們：
「告訴我，你們生存的目的是什麼？」
「聯考！」全體同學齊聲大喊。
「告訴我，你們奮鬥的目標是什麼？」
「聯考！」全體同學口徑一致。
雖然多年後社會上才教導我生存的目的是賺錢，奮鬥的目標是女人。
但那時我和所有人的心跳頻率相同，總是讓我覺得放心與安全。

我像是冬眠的熊，而考上大學就像是春天，喚醒了我。

【四】

不論我在哪裡
都只離你一個轉身的距離
我一直都在
在你身前
在你影裡
在樓台上，靜靜等你

一個轉身的距離？
驚覺似地轉過身，只見到兩個穿迷彩裝的阿兵哥在談笑著。
帶著小男孩的年輕媽媽和站在禁菸標誌下方的婦人都已不見。
大概是火車過了桃園，下車的旅客多些，於是她們都進去車廂內。
我吹了一陣冷風，雙手和臉頰早已冰凍，我也決定躲進車廂。

最後一節車廂後面，還有一些空間，堆著幾個紙箱子。
有兩個人坐在箱子上，還有一個空位，我便坐了上去。
箱子很厚實，裡面應該裝滿了東西，只是不知道裝什麼。
我右手邊是個穿老鼠色外套的中年男子，頭髮微禿，靠著車身打盹。
那大概是20年後我的樣子。
左手邊是個大學生模樣的男孩，戴著黑框眼鏡，看起來呆呆的。
很像10年前剛上大學的我。

又看了一遍第四根菸上的字，當我讀到「在樓台上，靜靜等你」時，
我終於忍不住，開心地笑了起來。
因為我想到大一在話劇社扮演羅密歐時的荒唐。
真是一段可愛的青春歲月，那是證明我曾經存活過的最好證據。
無論已經離得多遠，無論我將來會變得多麼市儈庸俗，
那段日子永遠像鑽石一樣閃亮著。
而可憐的茱麗葉啊，妳還在那樓台上靜靜等著羅密歐嗎？

我很羨慕地又看了那位年輕的大學生一眼，他正用心地在看一本小說。
年輕的大學生啊，要把握大學生活喔，那將會是你一生中最珍貴的回憶。
你會碰到各種形式的人，無論你喜不喜歡，他們都會影響你。
我曾經也像你這般年輕呢。
那時剛從成功嶺下來，頂著平頭，在宿舍的十樓找空房間。
我來得早，大部分的房間都沒被人訂走。
我是13號生日，所以我選了1013室。

房間兩個上下舖，可以住四個人。
書桌成一直線地貼在牆上，還有四個小衣櫃。
我挑了靠窗的上舖，床位號碼是3號。然後開始清掃房間。
整理完畢後，把衣服收進衣櫃，在3號書桌上放了書包和盥洗用具。
擦了擦汗，準備離去時，在房門口幾乎與一個人相撞。
「對不起。」
對方笑著道歉，聲音宏亮。

「哇，這房間好乾淨喔，就是這間了。」
他走進1013室，將綠色旅行袋放在4號床位，那是我的下舖。
「你好，」他伸出右手，露出微笑：
「我叫李柏森。木子李，松柏的柏，森林的森。請指教。」
『我叫蔡崇仁，你好。』
我們握了一下手，他的手掌溫暖豐厚，握手的力道十足。

「你睡3號嗎？」柏森抬頭看了一下我的床位。
『嗯。我喜歡睡上舖。』
「我也是。不過小時候太皮，從上舖摔下來。以後就不敢睡上舖了。」
柏森打開綠色旅行袋，哼著歌，把東西一樣一樣拿出來，擺好。
他比我高一些，壯一點，皮膚黝黑，沒戴眼鏡。
同樣理平頭，我看起來呆呆的，他看起來卻有股精悍之氣。

「好了。」柏森拍拍手掌，呼出一口氣，脫掉綠色運動外套：
「隔壁棟宿舍的地下室好像有餐廳，我們一起吃飯吧。」
『好啊。』
我們坐電梯下樓，才五點左右，可以容納約兩百人的自助餐廳沒什麼人。
負責盛飯菜的都是中年婦女，倒是結帳的是個年輕女孩。

柏森選好位置，放下餐盒，端了兩碗湯，一碗給我。然後說：
「嘿，你會不會覺得那個結帳的女孩像“小叮噹”裏的技安？」
我望著她，胖胖的女孩，臉蛋確實很像“小叮噹”裏欺負大雄的技安。
我不禁笑了出來。
「以後我們就叫她技安妹吧。」
柏森像惡作劇的孩子般地笑著。

這是我跟柏森的第一次碰面。
即使經過這麼多年，我仍然可以清楚地聽到他那時的笑聲。
很少聽到這麼乾淨的笑聲，宏亮卻不刺耳，像秋天下午三點的陽光。
他說他八字中五行缺木，不容易穩重，所以父親將他取名為柏森。
「真是難為了我老爸，」柏森笑著說：「可是好像沒什麼用。」
『我爸比較輕鬆。“崇”是按照族譜排行，所以他只給我一個“仁”。』
「如果你只叫蔡崇就好了，這樣就是一隻菜蟲。」柏森又開始大笑：
「菜蟲吃菜菜下死，殺手殺人被人殺。這可是很有名的布袋戲戲詞喔。」
從此，菜蟲便是我的綽號。

柏森是我上大學後所交的第一個朋友，也是最好的朋友。
我相信，我也期望他是我這輩子最重要的朋友。
我心靈的某部分經過好幾年的冬眠，醒來後渴望著食物，
而柏森是第一個提供養分的人。
於是我像在沙漠行走一個月的旅人，突然碰到綠洲。
我大口大口地喝著水。

1013室後來又住進了一個同學，他叫葉子堯，睡2號床位。
當過兵，重考兩次，整整大我和柏森五歲，我們都叫他子堯兄。
大部分的時間裡，班上同學很少碰到他，他總是有一堆外務。
由於我和柏森與他同寢室，因此起碼每晚會見到他一次。
不過如果他忙的時候，我們也會連續好幾天沒看到他。
只有床上凌亂的書本證明他回來過。

子堯兄總是揹著一個過時的背包，顏色像是被一大群野牛踐踏後的草地。
背包裡因為裝太多東西，所以總是鼓鼓的，像吹牛皮的青蛙。
背包的拉鍊可能是因為壞了，或是根本拉不上，
所以總有幾本書會不安分地探出頭來。
子堯兄除了對上課和社團不感興趣外，對很多東西都熱衷地過頭。
這可以從他床上和書桌上堆得滿滿的書籍中察覺。
書籍種類包括電腦、命相、易經、中醫、宗教、財務管理、生物等等。
後來書太多了，我們便把1號書桌、床鋪和衣櫃也讓他擺書。

子堯兄算是個奇怪的人，有時講話的邏輯很特殊。
當然我是沒有立場說別人奇怪，因為我也曾被視為奇怪的人。
不過如果我可以算是奇怪的人，那被奇怪的我說成是奇怪的人的子堯兄，
一定更奇怪。
記得我有次看到他床上擺了本《宗教與人生》，我隨手拿起來翻閱。
正好子堯兄回來，他問道：
「咦？菜蟲，你對宗教也有興趣？」

『沒有啊。只是好奇翻翻看而已。』
「好奇心是很重要的……」
子堯兄從口袋裡拿出兩個奇形怪狀的石頭，放入書桌的抽屜，接著說：
「很多殺人命案的屍體，都是因為路人的好奇心，才被發現的。」
『這跟宗教有關嗎？』
「嗯。表示你與佛有緣。床上這麼多書，你只挑中這一本，善哉善哉。」
『子堯兄，你在說什麼？』
「痴兒啊痴兒，讓我來告訴你吧。」

「宗教到了最高境界，其實是殊途同歸。所以佛家講：色即是空，空即
是色；對照於基督教，就是耶穌即猶大，猶大乃耶穌。神魔本一體，
善惡在一念，為神為魔，行善行惡，僅一線之隔。阿彌陀佛……當然
我們也可以說哈利路亞。阿彌陀佛和哈利路亞都是四個字，這就叫做
殊途同歸。」
我瞠目結舌，完全不知道該說什麼。
他則在床上拿了幾本書，硬塞進去背包，然後又出門了。

我在1013室度過了大一和大二，與柏森及子堯兄。
由於子堯兄常常神龍見首不見尾，所以大部分的活動都只有我和柏森。
無論是上課、吃飯、撞球、舞會、露營、練橄欖球、土風舞比賽，
我和柏森都在一起。
如果我睡覺的習慣差一點，會從上舖跌下來的話，那我們也會睡在一起。
不過舞會結束或是與女孩子聯誼完後，就只有他有續攤。
然後我會先回宿舍等他回報戰況。

柏森很受女孩子歡迎，這應該歸功於他的自信與健談。
我常看到他跟女孩子說話，女孩們專注的神情，閃爍發亮的眼睛，
好像在恭聽皇上的聖諭。
偶爾柏森還會說：「平身吧，寶貝。」
不過只要我一加入，她們就宣布退朝了。

柏森參加了三個社團，辯論社、話劇社和土風舞社。
我對社團活動沒什麼興趣，不過柏森死拉活拉，硬是把我也拉進去。
我們會參加土風舞社，可以算是一種機緣。
在成大，學長都會帶領著新生參加兩項重要的比賽：土風舞和橄欖球。
每星期一、三、五的清晨五點，學長會把我們挖起床練橄欖球。
練土風舞的時間則為晚上十點，在宿舍頂樓，星期二和星期四。

先說橄欖球吧。
練橄欖球很累，常常得從宿舍十樓跑到一樓，再由一樓跑到十樓。
跑完後，雙腿就會不由自主地擺盪，像風中的楊柳。
記得第一次在成功操場練球時，是秋末的清晨，頗有寒意。
一大早被挖起床的我們，牙齒的撞擊聲好像交響樂。
一個體型非常壯碩的大三學長，雙手插腰，大聲地說：
「親愛的學弟，恭喜你們將成為追逐不規則跳動的勇士。弧形的橄欖球
跟人生一樣，很難掌握方向。所以要好好練球。」
話是很有道理，不過結論下得有點奇怪。

練習一陣子後，學長開始安排我們的位置。
「李柏森！你是No. 8，是球場上的領導人物。所以要好好練球。」
柏森不愧是柏森，被挑選為8號球員，比賽的靈魂人物。
「蔡崇仁！你個子算小，反應很快。每次休息上廁所時，你都是第一個
跑掉，最後一個跑回來。你當傳鋒，位置是9號。所以要好好練球。」
我終於知道，“所以要好好練球”是這位學長的口頭禪。
位置選定後，練球的次數和時間都增加，直到比賽為止。
