昼夜

白昼
朝阳耀眼,
大地喜迎。
喜鹊
跳跃奔腾,
喜出望外。

黑夜
月色明媚,
众生陶醉。
鸳鸯
日落而息,
相拥入眠。

Tribute to My Beloved Wife (2)

Hey Dear,

Tributes continue to pour in. Next, I'm going to share with you another poem which you will definitely like. Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare. With the help of Huibin, we have chosen it to be published in the papers in your memory. Both of us think that you will like this elegant poem. I must admit that it took me a few tries to read this thoroughly in order to grasp its meaning! I'm sure you can do it in a second *wink*.

I present to you my dear wife, Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare:

依依不舍

转眼间,一年过去了。
还是不能完全接受事实。
问苍天,天理何在呀!
还是无法彻底忘掉悲痛。

现在的心情?
复杂,感慨万分。
现在的思绪?
杂乱,汹涌澎湃。

无时无刻在惦记着你,
你是我这一生中引以为荣的骄傲。
有好多的话想对你说,
你是我唯一能真心倾诉一切的人。

你不在身边,
我还是适应不来。
你离我而去,
我还是接受不了。

尝试寻找快乐。
但实际上,寻获的快乐是短暂的。
尝试脸带笑容。
但事实上,脸上的笑容是空洞的。

夕阳西下
烦躁,心情烦闷焦躁
夜深人静
寂寞,生活孤单乏味。

我得勇敢面对挑战?
纸上谈兵!
我得学习重新生活?
谈何容易!

怀念。。。
还是选择留恋过去。
思念。。。
还是对你依依不舍。

时间能冲淡一切?
伤口能完全治愈?
船到桥头自然直!
一切还是随缘吧!

Tribute to My Beloved Wife (1)

Hey Dear,
One year has passed. The pain still lingers. I have gotten you this small bouquet of roses. Three stalks, signifying "I MISS YOU". I still miss you loads.. this is actually an understatement. You know what I mean.

The other day I was thinking of writing a tribute to you in English. In the end, I decided to do it in Chinese instead, for obvious reasons. Still, I would think that I should quote some meaningful verses in your memory. After looking through lots of verses, poems and quotes in the internet, I came across this quote by David Harkins. It hits me instantly; he described my feelings in an uncanny manner that sends chills down my spine.

Coincidentally, after I had chosen this quote which I shared with your sister Huibin, she was surprised that I like this quote as well. She had posted it in her blog in your memory before! Coincidence no. 1. Then, a couple of days later, a good friend of mine sent me this same quote again! Coincidence no. 2! Great minds think alike..

Dear I present to you:

“You can shed tears that she is gone,
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her only that she is gone,
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what she'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.”

~David Harkins

笑容洋溢着快乐。

快乐

快乐永远伴着你。

 悼念刘老师 ~ 詹淑雯 402班

慧琳呀。你记得淑雯吗?她在莱佛士女中学生文集里写了这篇动人的文章,抒发了对你的思念。



我写这篇文章是为了悼念在今年初去世的刘慧琳老师,希望她永远会留在大家的心里!

我认识的她,总是笑容满面,很有气质,做什么事都亲力亲为。她很细心,待人处事非常亲切,但偏偏,她在前一个星期,2010年1月19日的这一天,离我们而去了。她,就是我们中三的英文老师--刘慧琳老师。

中三的时候,我很期待英文课,因为刘老师的课又浅白又有趣。她的开朗感染了全班的同学,每堂英文课都感觉非常轻松舒服。虽然我的作文不佳,但刘老师会很有耐心,给一些评语以鼓励我继续努力。她真心地关心学生,是位不可多得的好老师。

我记得中四开始时,刘老师不再当我们班的英文老师,而我们偶尔会谈起刘老师过去的种种趣事,无意间都在想她。但万万意料不到,2010年刚开始没多久,刘老师在短短的三天内,脑中风,告别了这美丽的世界。前一天我们班上的同学听到刘老师进医院的消息后,马上折了一千只纸鹤为她祈福,为她祷告,希望她快点儿苏醒,看到我们的心意。本来,我们很乐观地面对这件事,可是很不幸的,第二天,我们接到刘老师去世的噩耗。

起初,我真的不敢相信刘老师真的不再出现在我们的眼前,不敢相信我们再也看不到她的微笑,她那熟悉的身影。这消息来得太突然了,我们都无法接受。1月20日的这一天过得很漫长,我根本无法专心听课,回到家同样没有心情做功课。世界就似乎在那一刻停了下来。我躲在房间里,翻起中三的英文课堂活动和资料,想起了她,眼眶不知不觉地模糊了。那晚,我在梦中也哭了。回到学校,老师告诉了我,刘老师的家人在她离开的那一刻,把我们折的纸鹤摆放在她的床上,而且把纸鹤连起来挂在她的棺材旁边。我听了这番话,心中觉得很安慰。因为,最重要的是,我们在她有生之日为她做了一点事,表示了我们对她的祝福。在那一瞬间,一股温暖的热气冲进了我的心坎里。

可能,一个人能流多少眼泪是有限的。到了现在,我的心里还是一样的沉重,但是泪已不再流了。当然,我还是时刻怀念她,而且还未能完全接受她突然离开的事实。这种感觉真的不可思议,就好象生活里出现了一个弥补不回的洞口,一个弥补不了的缺陷,心里被挖空似的。但是,我知道时间能冲淡一切,再深的疤痕也会随着岁月的流逝而渐渐消退。

我很庆幸刘老师曾是我的英文老师,一位让我敬仰的好老师。能够在她有生之年作为她生活的一部分,并且留下了美好的回忆,使我感到知足。我知道,她永远会留在我心坎里,伴随着我走过人生的每一个阶段。
===============================

慧琳呀。看到了这篇文章你应该感到欣慰吧!你对教育的赤忱,你的努力耕耘没有白费。

Contribution to a Worthy Cause

Hey Dear,

Today I made a trip down to RGS. I have a feeling that this will not be the last time that I'll be visiting the school.

The moment I drove into the familiar school compound, I saw images of you everywhere. Waiting for me at the gate, talking to students in front of the car porch, chit-chatting with your colleagues in front of the general office, marking the students' scripts diligently at your desk, sharing a joke or two with your colleagues at the pantry... images of you literally everywhere.

It's always very emotional for me whenever I visit the school, even now. As I waited at the general office for Regina, I took a long hard look across the walk-way leading up to the teacher's common room. How I wished you could have spent more time in that room fussing over students' works, discussing with your colleagues on the curriculum, pondering over next day's lessons and finally looking forward to my arrival to pick you up from school. You could have made a lot more contribution to the society, sculpting the future of the next generation and inspiring more students with your personal touches. By all means I assure you my dear, your contribution does not end here.

Deep in my thoughts, I did not realize that Regina, your lovely E Lang Dept head whom you had always spoken so fondly of, had walked into the general office. A dedicated teacher like you, she has spent her career contributing to the worthy cause of education. I salute both of you.

We shook hands and sat down to discuss the use of the monetary contribution your parents and I have decided to donate to the school in your memory. A fruitful conversation ensued as Regina's eyes beamed, talking about the school's plans to set aside the funds for two worthy causes. One is to award those overseas students who have shown tremendous improvement in their work. They will name the awards after you and give them out during speech day every year. Another part of the funds will be channelled to help those students in need of emergency funds to tide them over financial difficulties. All in all, I'm convinced that the funds are in good hands and that the school will make sure that the funds will be put to good use. I'm convinced.

Regina said that she estimated that the funds might be used and stretched for as long as 20 years! That means that you will still be helping students for the next 20 years! The thought of it warmed my heart, through and through. Seriously I'm not so sure about the funds lasting 20 years but having said that, I promise you that in my limited capacity, I will continue to help to ensure that it does last 20 years in terms of future contributions. You know why I'm doing this, my dear, you know me well.

We shook hands once again as the conversation drew to an end. Before I left, she passed me two Chinese essays compilation magazines (one for me, one for your parents) in which some of your students had written a few essays in your memory. I dare not read them there and then. I was sure that if I do that, I would not be able to control my emotions. I had tried hard to contain my emotions throughout the whole trip and I wouldn't want my effort to be wasted at the last hurdle. I bade a hurried farewell to Regina for one last time and made my escape to the sanctity of my car as fast as I could, holding the two magazines close to me. I wanted to read the essays.

I went inside the car, started the engine and eagerly read the essays. Your students spoke fondly of you. In one of the essays, one of your secondary 3 student wrote on the impact you'd made to her learning of the English Language and the personal touches that you've showered on her as you patiently guided her through her learning.

Overwhelmed by emotions, I made my way out of the school, hoping that no one had seen me in my state. As I drove through the familiar streets leading out from RGS, I sobbed uncontrollably. Sense of loss again took its toll on me. I went for a long drive and let my emotions flowed freely. I needed to release my bottled up emotions as much as I could.

As I turned into my house's carpark, I felt a sense of relief that I'd not experienced for months. I stopped the engine and sat in the car for a few moments, reflecting on the whole day's events.

Dear, you are still in the hearts and thoughts of many. You've touched so many people with your simple approach to life. Your presence is still felt everywhere. Your voices still fill the air and your smiles still fresh in our memories. Your legacy lives on... We all miss you.

家后

一首我喜欢的闽南语歌。钟爱里面的一句:”等待返去的时阵若到,你着让我先走,因为我会呒甘看你为我目屎流 “
翻译:等到回去的时候(回到天堂的时候),你得让我先去,因为我不忍心看到你为我流眼泪。



《家后》歌词:
有一日咱若老
找无人甲咱友孝
我会陪你 坐惦椅寮
听你讲少年的时阵你有外摮
吃好吃丑无计较
怨天怨地嘛袂晓
你的手我会甲你牵条条
因为我是你的家后
阮将青春嫁置恁兜
阮对少年跟你跟甲老
人情世事已经看透透
有啥人比你卡重要
阮的一生献乎恁兜
才知幸福是吵吵闹闹
等待返去的时阵若到
我会让你先走
因为我会呒甘放你为我目屎流
老婆不要头窍派派派
有一日咱若老 有媳妇子儿友孝
你若无聊 拿咱的相片
看卡早结婚的时阵你外缘投
穿好穿丑无计较 怪东怪西嘛袂晓
你的心我会永远记条条
因为我是你的家后
阮将青春嫁置恁兜
阮对少年就跟你跟甲老
人情世事嘛已经看透透
有啥人比你卡重要
阮的一生献乎恁兜
才知幸福是吵吵闹闹
等待返去的时阵若到你着让我先走
因为我会呒甘看你为我目屎流

还是觉得你最好

张学友在这MTV之前,说:“。。真正的感情是经得起考验的。所以无论你去了哪里,无论我们分开多远,还是觉得你最好。”


《还是觉得你最好》歌词:
即使你离开我热情未改
这漫长夜里谁人是你所爱
花不似盛开爱渐如大海
假使你怀念我为何独处感概

但我不懂说将来
但我静待你归来
在这心灰的冷冬
共你热烈再相逢
全是我的美萝
但我静静待你归来
就算春风秋雨中
共你愿望已不同
还是有点故梦想倾吐
一切事情就似一丝苦恼
回看你我的路
是情是爱是缘是痛
今日我却竟都不知道
我依然而我竟然
还是觉得你最好

十二月初五

农历十二月初五。无情的一天。从那一天起,一切都变质了,一切的一切都化为乌有。
那一天的悲伤是言语无法形容的。想你。。。

春光乍泄

春光乍泄,意思是指春天明媚的阳光刚刚开始普照大地,温暖寰宇,使万物复苏。
春暖花开,意味着花儿以期待的心情,享受着温暖的阳光。
新的一年,新的气象。

很喜欢黄耀明的这首歌〈春光乍泄〉。
这首歌总是给我一种浪漫,无忧无虑,放荡不羁,不受约束的感觉。让我们在新的一年做我们想做的事吧!!

  
歌词:

你以目光感受浪漫宁静宇宙
总不及两手轻轻满身漫游
再见日光之后欲望融掉以后
那表情会否同样温柔
意乱情迷极易流逝难耐这夜春光浪费
难道你可遮掩着身体分享一切
愈是期待愈是美丽
来让这夜春光代替
难道要等青春全枯萎至得到一切
你我在等天亮或在沉默酝酿
以嘴唇揭开讲不了的遐想
你我或者一样日夜寻觅对象
却朝夕妄想来日方长
意乱情迷极易流逝难耐这夜春光浪费
难道你可遮掩着身体(来)分享一切
愈是期待愈是美丽
来让乍现春光代替
难道要等青春全枯萎至得到一切
意乱情迷极易流逝难耐这夜春光浪费
难道你可遮掩着身体(来)分享一切
愈是期待愈是美丽
来让乍现春光代替
难道要等一千零一世才互相安慰

2010。我这一生的转捩点。从小到大,我仿佛是生活在避风港里;途中有一点点的小涟漪,有时会刮风下雨,但没什么大风大浪能把我这一艘小船打翻的。一向来,家庭,学业,事业,爱情,样样都是事事顺心的。我人生的要求也并不高。有一份稳定的职业,收入,能让我组织一个温馨快乐的家庭,我就心满意足了。但事与愿违,老天爷选择了一条我万万也没想到的一条路给我继续地走下去。

心已不再,人去楼空。
心空空。
情缘依旧,刻骨缠绵。
情绵绵。

新的一年。2011呢?没什么好期待的。路还很长,没有你是多么的孤单、多么的寂寞。

Year 2010

I would describe 2010 as a "Forgettable yet Unforgettable Year"...

It's finally over... Yet do I really look forward to 2011? Not really either... Just want to buckle down and do what I set out to do.. methodically.. nothing exciting really.

Did I make a wish like I usually do for the previous years? Nah.. not this year. Trust me.. it's of no use.. cos whatever i had wished for all these years will never come true for me.. ever

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year My Dear!! Miss You Much:)
