记忆中，童年的快乐似乎只有在阿嫲的旧家才可找到。
阿嫲的旧家坐落在空军基地旁，每天早晚两次都有战斗机起飞降落的引擎声给我们播报时间。我们表姐弟几人总会搁下玩具，向着天空致意。
阿嫲的旧家四周都是鱼池。池与池之间的阡陌是我们玩 catching 的最佳场地。偶尔，也会有人一个不留神，滑入池中与鱼群共舞。这是我们最兴奋最紧张的时刻了。
阿嫲的旧家门前有个小池塘。那是属于我们表姐弟几人的。闲着无聊时，我们就会开始在池塘里泛舟。严格来说，那是表弟们用木材、木门筑的“筏”，筏上还摆了几个舅母不要的沙发垫。躺在沙发垫上，晒着太阳，喝一口橙汁，是多么写意的一件事。
阿嫲的旧家厨房里有一口井。据母亲说，那口井是阿公让员工挖的。从井里打一桶冰凉的水，往头上一淋……冷！爽！从此，每逢到阿嫲的旧家，我必会要求打井水冲凉。母亲却总是担心我会滑倒，掉入井里。
阿嫲的旧家房间摆着一个很大很长的榻。那是母亲、阿姨、舅舅们小时候的床。我最喜欢和表弟们同榻而寝，闻一闻长辈们儿时的味道。
阿嫲的旧家是阿公和员工们协力盖起来的。我也只能从这间规模还算不小的锌板屋，追踪阿公的足迹；从角落里的小黑板上遗留下来的字迹，认识这个我从来没见过的外公。萬利私人有限公司曾经让住在这里的每一个家庭成员丰衣足食。
阿嫲的旧家在政府的土地征收计划下，被拆了。表弟们一家也跟着迁徙了。有关童年的记忆，只能在这条通往阿嫲的旧家的老路上慢慢搜寻……只见 Lorong Baling 路边的大伯公还寂寞地驻守在一片荒芜的草丛旁……

Back
Finally! I get most of my stuff back.
WAY TO GO!
很少有看部落格的习惯。没想到自己又重新染上了偷窥瘾，用了整个晚上窥完了疯子的生活。竟然唤起了压抑在内心已久的回忆。我不是都把它们都抛开了吗？直到今晚我才恍然，自己究竟没那么洒脱。
唉~~余震已经开始，天空开始飘起毛毛细雨，看来火山在这两天可能会爆发。请大家事先做好防范措施。

放假
阴天。下着毛毛细雨，
一个人坐在 Downtown East 喝珍珠红茶，吃盐酥鸡……
四周一片绚丽的色彩 嘈杂的音乐
鲤鱼池潺潺的水声流入耳
小孩嚷着要看鱼
父母亲背着大包小包赶路
初院生嬉笑玩闹
洋爸爸抱着宝宝在雨中调情
一对情侣手牵着手去买雪糕
刚游完泳的游客裹着毛巾走进 Ben & Jerry's
Can I have a waffle please? Can I have a waffle please?
一家三兄妹共享一碗雪糕
小贩推着一车筒仔面路过
KFC 员工又推着一车 pepsi 走回
工作人员忙着讲电话
Hehehe...... Bodoh......
一个中年男子好奇地偷看我在写什么
泪水模糊视线感觉真好！
我还活着……

there lies 2 open options:
1. dream in agony
2. awaken in pain
i've been giving too many chances, been dreaming for too long. i've always hated the feeling of waking up in the mornings. let mi remain in the dark nite where everything seems surreal.
i've to wake up now. it's time to live by my mind. my eyes turn red, tears choke in my throat, but i remain calm.
i've found a way to endure tis pain. "stay positive!" my frens wld say. i'll juz remember ur wickedness n feel stupid tt i've wanted to stay dreaming... but ouch! it stil hurts...
Monday, October 2, 2006
he was there spurring me on throughout the nite. he was next to me. i've nvr felt him so close.
we never had the chance to really spend great quality time tgthr. time is always a luxury. fate always has its own idea. as much as i wan things to turn out best for u, i worry abt myself, n us...
u hav the voice of honey. u've always been able to tok mi out of my moods n am forever patient while i throw tantrums. u've nvr failed to make mi smile thru tears. as much as i love u, i hate u too.
did it ever occur to u tt ur gentleness might murder our happiness? while the heart wanna brave thru the slashes of pain, the body juz wanna hide in a small safe corner to wait for the next collector to pick it up n protect it.it's a life of misses n misunderstandings...

My dream since young was to fly. Luck has it that I finally flew to Asia, Africa and Europe... now America --- place that I think about. Doubts that I would ever wanna visit that place. Age has forbidden me from going on long journeys. Will there ever be a day when it might move next to Asia?

i love puppets but hate pinnochio!!!
liars, stay away from me.
it's always the same word from me: i can act blur, but dun push ur luck too far.......

I've had a great opening @ TWISTED today. Missed the applause. Missed the stage lx. Missed the live music. Missed the theatre. Missed my puppets. Missed my fellow actors. Missed everything abt theatre. But I'll not regret my choice... Wait for me... I'll b back...
If you'd missed Furthest North, Deepest South (5th Life! Theatre Awards-Best
Production of the Year-Best Ensemble Acting), Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea ("5 stars out of 5 stars! ... Among the best theatre i've ever seen." The Flying Inkpot). Don't miss TWISTED (opened TODAY)
THE FINGER PLAYERS
Presents
Twisted
Twisted tells the story of a man who keeps falling into the same hole in his entire lifetime.
Layered shadow imagery and dazzling puppetry conjure up scenes of mystery, enchantment and macabre fun as a child fends off attacksfrom his schoolbag possessed with monsters; lovers appear as bow ties strangling one’s neck and a blackhole that keeps sucking life away from all around it.
Images emerge, floating by as in a daydream; silhouettes in the dim light move to a soundscape like a visual orchestra.
The Finger Players brings together the talents of award-winning Sound Designer, Darren Ng, up and coming lighting designer, Lim Woan Wen and movement artist Koh Leng Leng in this fascinating world inhabited by puppets and shadows.
The purity, simplicity and poetry of the tale would evoke a scenic mosaic created between sound, lights, dance and puppet theatre.
