佛跳虾

花莲市,位于台湾东部,是花莲县的行政、经济、文化中心。花莲枕山面海,西临高耸险峻的中央山脉,东滨惊涛拍岸的太平洋。基于它奇特的地形,逃过了城市化的洗劫,这地方仍保留着许多壮观奇景,让人惊叹不已。

某某机缘,让我来到了花莲。入住了市中心一间温馨舒适,又优雅精致的酒店式民宿。民宿的吴老板十分好客,对我们这班大马来的华侨,更是疼爱有加。临走当天,本来打算在乘搭火车之前来一个逍遥自由活动。怎知吴老板殷勤十分,还专车免费载我们去游花莲。

我们一路从慈济的发源地,跑到了日治时期留下的吉安庆修院,还走了鲤鱼潭,原住民的住所,60年之久的丰春冰果店,国立东华大学,光化作用有机农场等等等,在短短的几个小时里,经历了非一般的旅游。对吴老板的热情招待,我们感激十分。

路上有一个小插曲,在这里和大家分享。吴老板在鲤鱼潭的时候,突然问我一句:
“你吃过"佛跳下"吗?”
“是佛跳墙吗?没吃过。”
“不是,是佛跳虾。吃生虾你们敢吃吧?反正来了就应该试试看!”
“嗯。”
说了老半天,才知道我们要吃的是“活跳虾”。

活跳虾乃鲤鱼潭的名产。这料理将活生生的小虾泡在酒、醋、姜、蒜调成的酱料中,上桌后焖个3~5分钟,待虾子晕眩后便捞起往嘴里丢,原味十足。生鱼片吃了那么多年的我,刚开始吃的时候,还是感觉怪怪的。吃了两三口之后,也就习惯了。

下午时分,道别了花莲。下一站:高雄!

It's Whore-able...

When I was back in the States, a friend of mine taught me a new word: "Slore", which is cross between words "slut" and "whore". It's basically a way to say, "She's like Wallmart, with her legs open 24 hours a day" in a nice and simple word. 
I was sharing my new-found vocabulary with another friend, who also came back from the States, the other day,  and he thinks that the word made no sense.

"Whores and sluts are totally different species. Whore does it for the money, and slut just likes sleeping around."

"What if this person, hypothetically, likes sleeping around and gain something, not necessary money, out of it?"

"Why, that's horrible..."

"No, it's whore-able. :P"

My friend grinned and nodded.

那是当年没说完的话

今天心血来潮,开始打理已经被遗忘多时的部落格。从2009年尾开始,便没有那么活跃了。其实也不是完全没有写,只是常常写一半,就不了了之。今后,灵感来的时候,才把它们完成吧!

眼低手低

昨日和朋友闲聊,被问起部落格的事儿。
说来惭愧得很,自从回到马来西亚后,住得好,吃得好,无忧无虑,写部落格也没有以前那么热忱了。
得空便到外面去流荡,成天不是面子书,就是沉迷于iPhone等种种玩意儿里头。
看书 -- 已经是被遗忘的娱乐。
写作 -- 已经是被放弃的嗜好。
以前,我曾经只看书,不写作;写起文章来怪怪的。我妈说我“眼高手低”。
后来,我到了外国,没什么中文书可以阅读,只顾乱写,可谓“眼低手高”。
现在呢,回来了,书也不看,字也不写,那就“眼低手低”了。
应该是反省的时候了吧!

我回来了!

我回来了
回到了这熟悉的大地
我回来了
回到了炎热的马来西亚天气
我回来了
久违的部落格 -- 我没把你遗弃!
我回来了
回到了老爸老妈的怀抱,也回到了他们的唠叨
我回来了
新年终于有得拿红包,十五的晚上还去闹元宵
我回来了
天天可以跟好友们出来跑, 喝茶谈心骂那官僚们的糟
我回来了
煮饭做菜洗衣有人搞, 幸福滋味不得了
我回来了
看到双亲容颜已苍老,才发觉自己年纪已不小

我回来了
友人都问我是不是来歇脚
何时又会人去了

Halloween Costumes

"Don't you think it will be fun if I put on my scrubs, white coat and stethoscope, and pretend that I'm a doctor?"
"Nope, that will be cheating... "
"What if I go shirtless with the white coat and the stethoscope?"
"What are you trying to show?"
"I'un know... Halloween? :)"
"(Eye rolling)You really want to do this?"
"Nope. :)"
"What if I just go with my normal clothes, and pretend that I am an alien in a human disguise?"
"Lame... plus, who will know you are an alien?"
"(Whisper)Shhh... They weren't supposed to know..."
"Why don't you just dress up like a vampire or some'n...?"
"Did that last year."
"Superheroes?"
"Nah..."
"Movie characters?"
"Geez... I kinda like the Star Trek Uniform... but nope..."
"Mascots?"
"U kidd'n me?"
"Gangsta?"
"hmmm..."
"Nurse?"
"yeah, right..."
"Zombies? Monsters? Godzilla? Ultraman? He he he..."
"U know what will be cool? Borrowing some uniforms from the cops and then go to the party to check on people's ID.. hahaha..."
"Do you know any cops here?"
"Err... not really. Plus I don't think I can fit into theirs. Ha ha."
"How about firefighters?"
"Oh, cool. Always wanted to be one..."
"Let's go shop for costumes then, you might find something interesting there..."
"I guess so. Cool, shopping at the mall then?"
"Deal..."

突然怀念的一首诗

将近凌晨时分,从十八楼上的窗口眺望,克利夫兰市内竟然那么平静安宁。喝了最后一口红酒,突然想起李白的《将进酒》里头的:“人生得意须尽欢,莫使金樽空对月;天生我材必有用,千金散尽还复来...烹羊宰牛且为乐,会须一饮三百杯."
人生得意须尽欢-这句最合我意。玩个够吧!因为天生我材必有用,千金散尽还复来!喝够了,开始在部落格上胡言乱语了,还是去睡觉吧!

白纸

桌上有张白纸
突然很想给它写个字
思考了好久好久
还是无法写下去

绞尽脑汁
没有半点墨水
原来脑袋
也不过是张白纸

偷懒的脑袋
不知何时开始
已经渐渐枯竭
那桌上的白纸
依然没有半个黑字

囚不禁的鸟儿飞呀飞!

好久好久没上网更新部落格了。忙了好几个月,像只无头苍蝇四处扑,忙的还只是一般琐碎的工作,生活无比单调。克利夫兰的夏天已经成了过去,秋天的凉风尽然那么刺骨,仿佛在提醒我那将到来的黑色冬天。

克利夫兰的冬天,我叫他黑色冬天,原因在他那长期的阴暗和寒冷,“黑色”非常。困在这里的市民,好比住在囚牢一般,不见天日。再加上这本来就非常枯寂的死城,到了冬天后更完全失去了生命力,惟有繁盛期建下来的水泥骷髅,残留于此,街上不见半点人影。黑色冬天,实在令人忧郁和颓丧。记得去年冬天,正是阳历新年的时候,住在同一楼,同一间医院工作的外科医生,忧郁过度,坠楼自杀,成了头条新闻。当时我人在多伦多,是朋友们纷纷拨电通知,我才知道这件事的。

即将到来的黑色冬天,我也不向往。很想变成一只候鸟,往温暖的南部拼命的飞去。

鸟儿飞啊飞!

Friends

Friends are always a blessing in life. Especially when you are far away from home. Friends are those who will fight with you and disgree with you, but will stand by you, when you have made up your mind. Friends are those who will miss you, once a while, when they don't hear from you. Friends are awesome. I love my friends.
