那门那檐那瓦那蓝天
还有脚下的
坑坑洼洼
重重陷阱
英国人印度人马来人华人
还有峇峇娘惹们
尾随着他们的低喃
彳亍在他们的身后

意犹未尽
最近回信时,不喜用信纸,反倒爱那薄且韧的明信片。每次拿出信纸,就觉得要把整张纸填满,是件苦差,毕竟我生活近来一成不变,除了正在看了网页有所不同。 但是,若使用明信片,我的日子顿时丰满起来,鸡毛蒜皮的小事也能写个三五行,不一会儿,蝇头小字填满了卡片。意犹未尽,欲再续,却无处可写。同一天给同一 人写两张明信片,我又觉得别扭,只好把满腹心事收起。
意犹未尽,是生活中的常态。进餐时,八分即可,对肠胃负担较轻,乃养生之道。虽然还 想再吃一些,但心里明白,如此就好。一云吞小贩的热卖秘诀,就是只卖小分量的云吞,让吃客意犹未尽,才能吊住他们的胃口。若云吞的分量多一些,顾客要么吃 得心满意足,要么吃太饱而腻了,怎会在短期内再次光顾其小摊呢?
做人也是“意犹未尽”好。多数人俗务缠身,在一方面完全豁出去后,就无力 顾及其他事项。全心全力工作,人不会有精力去照顾家庭,甚至打理自己。殊不见许多工作狂最后落得一身病,辛苦打拼来的财产,转眼又花得干净。若一心只想圣 贤书,却不闻人间烟火,成了生活白痴,出了社会后反要从新学习人情,这不得多走许多弯路吗?倒不如上学使用大部分精力学习,再用剩下的时间学习与人与自然 之间的关系。意犹未尽,是一种境界,但有多少人能够克制自己,不做过头呢?

We interrupt this profile for an important message to one who has passed on. He will be remembered dearly.
OBITUARY FOR THE LATE MR. COMMON SENSE
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense,who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.
He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to come in out of the rain; why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn't always fair; and Maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6 year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get Parental consent to administer Calpol, sun lotion, or a band-aid to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason.
He is survived by his 3 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, Someone Else Is To Blame, and I'm A Victim. Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.
A moment of silence.
