从小到大,一个人走在路上时,总会有个习惯:抬头望天。还好,至今都没遇上有窟窿的路,所以也没机会尝试以前一个哲学家般掉进窟窿看世界。但是前几天,当我举头望向天时,一个念头闪过:咱们人类还要在这时间回旋的笼罩下等多久才能知道真相?几时,我们才可以重新看到挂满夜幕的星星?等待,还真要人命似的,尤其是预知那末日已在前面。。。
想必大家一定是充满疑问的:什么时间回旋,什么星星不见,什么末日?别担心,我不是在胡言乱语,更不是精神错乱。只是不小心把自己投入在书海中投得有点深,重叠了那虚构与这现实的世界,仿佛自己也是那书里的一分子。很久,没有尝试过如此的错觉了。没想到竟然让这本书得逞!
这本名为时间回旋的书,是本科幻文学小说,也是我在台湾的战利品之一。故事大概是如此的:十月的一个夜晚,三个小孩亲眼目睹了布满夜空的星星在瞬间消失。他们战战兢兢地等待第二天的太阳升空,因不确定太阳是否也随之消失。另一边厢,一个从此没有星星的世界,也正等待着他们,等待着每一个人。故事,也就从那一个改变一切的夜晚开始展开。。。
对于内容,我只能述说如此。毕竟,谜底过早揭开,期待与探索的欲望就无用武之地了。尽管被冠为科幻文学小说,但她的主干是友情,亲情,及爱情。而故事走到尽头,还真与我想象中的不一样。不过,就看在她能使我入迷至产生错觉这一点,还是想在这介绍这本书。其实,最重要的一点是,书里的你我他,反射的正是现实的你我他。
或许,科幻小说,都是建立在想象之上。然而,在那虚构的故事里,也不尽然全是假象。至少,在时间回旋里,有一点是千真万确:地球的感冒,没有痊愈的迹象,反而使越烧越热。若你我都不行动,哪怕只是小小行动,明天之后,我们会在哪里呢?我可不想活在时间回旋下!

生气,感责任
关于生气,我大概会永远记得小学老师曾说的一句话:一个人生气时,人身上的细胞会死掉好几千个。其实我也不确定这有没有科学根据。反正就是那时的我们很顽皮,时常惹得老师生气。奇怪的是,当老师说了这句话,全班顿时静了下来,过后也很少再惹得老师生气了。大概是大家都知道,身上细胞死掉几千个,不是玩笑的事吧!
想起来,我也很久没生气了。比较印象深刻的,应该是中四那年的培训营吧!算了,那又是一段年少无知又轻狂的事迹,不提也罢!有朋友说,无法想象我生气的样子,也几乎没见过。那么,也是因为我把怒气都藏起来吧!
不过,上个周末,学校课外活动日,我终于生气了。因为,该负责任的,没有好好肩起他的责任。当一切准备都还没办妥时,当大家都忙得恨不得有三头六臂时,有关人士竟然可以安安然地躺在他的床上,或者不知所踪。有句话好像是皇帝不急太监急,我们也只好越俎代庖,事先作决定。岂知,竟然还来一招狗咬吕洞宾,不识好人心。甚至,当多数的意见,与他的意见分歧时,却还来一句:我等着瞧,我等着瞧。
原谅我少有地在这如此直言批评他人。尽管活动结束了,一切也恢复正常,但我对他的信任度已打大折了:我在他身上,实在看不到多大的责任感。不过,我不会因此而与他保持距离。反而以他为鉴,做反面教材,训诫自己责任之重要。然而,我能引以为鉴,上面的人却仿佛不管如何都不曾引以为鉴。
唐太宗说:“以铜为镜可以正衣冠;以古为镜,可以知兴衰;以人为镜,可以明得失,朕常保此三镜,以防已过,今魏征殂逝,遂之一镜矣!”这君臣佳话,成了历朝官员效法的楷模,也成了千古名言之一。但愿,多少人也能如唐太宗般,深感镜子的重要,也绝对不会拒绝镜子所照映出来的真相。
对自己,对团体,对家庭,对国家,对这负荷重重的世界,以及对可爱的下一代,责任,绝对不能随便丢弃。

在于你自己
“你真的是劲力十足!卸任了,还如此活跃。尽管不是属于你的活动,却还能飞奔于人群中,真佩服你!”这是我中五那年,卸下学记身份后参与学弟学妹们的第一个活动时,一个朋友对我说的话。我当时听了,一笑置之,也没去想到底是何故。尽管我无意把它放在心上,却到今天,还是不时在我耳边回响。
那天去参加一个由函馆国际交流协会主办的‘地球祭’,也就是由身在函馆的外国人及留学生举办的展览会及进行各种表演。其中有个由日本人组成的非洲舞蹈表演可说是活动的高潮。小弟不才,舞技不是样,却也身在其中献丑。然而,看到他们尽情地带动气氛,热情地表演时,就不禁想问:到底是什么动力使他们可以如此投入、如此沉醉其中、如此勇往直前于自己的兴趣中呢?
听人说,他们之中,有业余的,也有专业的。业余的还好,至少还有个固定的工作支撑生计。但是那些全副精神与时间都投注于其中的,就显得辛苦很多。有些还是已有家室。一家大小一个月的生计是可以想象的艰苦。毕竟,他们不是什么重量级表演家,一个月也难有固定的酬劳。他们,只是很单纯的追逐自己的兴趣,与梦想。所以,我实在很佩服他们的毅力,及坚心。为了自己喜欢做的事,更是为了让一些文化元素不失落,毅然负起那重担。不问报答,只盼分享,与传承。
这令我想起年前我在吉隆坡观赏的一个舞台剧——‘狐说’。那是我的第一个舞台剧,也在我脑海里留下深刻印象。落幕后,我有幸与那班演员共餐,才知道他们大多数是业余参与者。却因喜爱舞台剧,及想让更多人欣赏到本地的舞台剧创作,而在百忙中也抽空为舞台贡献一份力。其实,又何止舞台能见到他们的踪影呢?许多文化事业,传统领域,也有许多人,或站着,或埋首,小心翼翼地保护那日渐消熄的火炬。千年来承载着先人的智慧、泪水、与血汗的火炬,我们不能遗忘,不能遗弃,更不能在日后让我们的孩子遗憾。我们的手中,也有把火炬。朋友,别让它轻易熄灭。
回到那天的活动,另一个令我深思不已的,是一个远赴非洲的日本人的讲座。他的讲座,我中途插入,所以未能知道关于他的更多。他去了非洲,投身于防范艾滋病的工作,并在那天与大家分享了他的心得。容易被牵动的我,又不禁询问道:为什么世界上有如此多的人可以挣脱许多现实的束缚,远赴他乡,为人道,为社会,也为自己的梦想而奋斗呢?无国界医生、无国界记者、环保分子、志愿人士、研究员。。。其实,只是在于你要不要,不是吗?
十个学生,十个都有可能实践梦想,成为伟人。但是,真正能做到,可能只有两个。为什么呢?我们从小到大耳熟能详的伟大人物们,哪一个不是历经千辛万苦才流芳百世呢?哪一个,不是坚持自己的理想,毅力奋斗到成功为止呢?
一切,只是在于你要不要,肯不肯。能不能,绝对不是关键。我是如此觉得。也许,当年我那飞奔,也是出于我要,我肯,才能在那不属于自己的地方,继续挥洒青春年狂。

秋だ
The weather was said to be a bit weird compare to last few years. And, I just didn’t get the feeling that it is autumn now. It should be very cold already by September, said my senior. Every single sign of autumn coming is late this year, said one of my teacher. Blame it to global warming, which is my respond.
But finally, I could say it loud and clear, that it is really the season of autumn now! It might be a bit late, but the coldness has arrived. The last time I murmured for coldness is already half year ago. So, it seems like an old friend coming back. However, that is not the main point for me to assure of autumn. It is the red leaves. 紅葉.
It is said that the best place for autumn is 京都. Unfortunately, I don’t have holidays for that. But I joined a local tour going for 紅葉sightseeing last Monday. The destination was ニセコ(niseko). It was a one day trip, including a lunch, which was eat as much sushi as you can in 40 minutes. Well, 40 minutes were a bit short actually, and there was not much variety. Yet, I managed to eat until 13 plates of sushi, haha!
Below are some pictures I took during the trip. I was really amazed by the beauty of Mother Nature. Though some were still green in color, one just couldn’t complaint much about it. The bus took us up to the mountain area, and then we followed the path as below to reach the 神仙沼. Sorry as I am not very good in English, so I don’t know how to describe what I saw, and what I felt when I was there. So just let the pictures do the talking then.

After神仙沼, we went to洞爺湖, and 昭和新山, which is actually a volcano. We had to buy the ropeway ticket ourselves. But we were given not much time up there. So we were liked rushing with time, making sure that we didn’t miss any thing up there. And the sight from the top of the hill, again, I gave up but let the pictures do the talking.
昭和新山, where you could still see the smokes coming out.
We had to run up to the hill as there was not enough time for us.
The view from the top of the hill. Great, isn't it?
Like i said, there was not much time for me to study more about this volcano. If I am not mistaken, the last time this volcano exploded is 2000.
Just hope that one day, I could visit those places again. Free with my own time, and enjoy the very moment with Mother Nature. 北海道, still a bunch of places are waiting for me. ニセコ, surely is just a starting point.Saturday, October 06, 2007
一些话
原来,那辆坦克车,没有不顾一切地往前开。
原来,血没有在坦克车驰过的马路上溅得满地红红。而是没能统计清楚地流在他们的身上,他们的心里,直到今天也亦然。
因此,我可以说,我误会了他们吗?
绝对不能!如此的手段,如此的方式,是绝对不可以被苟同的!不管是从前的,还是此刻仍在上演的,我绝对拒绝暴力式镇压!
我,目瞪口呆;心,淌血流泪。终于深切明白,为何平反是必需的!起码,要还大家一个历史原貌,不能再遮遮掩掩。也让多少英魂,多少无辜,得以安息。
类似事件,只盼不会再发生。但世事总事与愿违。也难怪,人性如此,欲望如此,又怎能奢望和平轻易降临呢?
“各国变法无不从流血而成,今日中国未闻有因变法而流血者,此国之所以不昌也。有之,请自嗣同始。” — 谭嗣同
变法,或改革,真的不流血不行吗?举我国为例,众所周知,是三大民族团结,并通过和平谈判取得独立。然而,也有不少的声浪声称,独立的背后也是流了不少血,只是大多流在不被认同的马共身上。那么那些示威、游行呢?也一定会招来骚乱,招来流血事件,种种不愉快事情吗?
1969513,你知道的是多少呢?有一点是肯定的,就是那一天早已在你我身上留下了个不安符。不管你如何不把它放在心上,那不安符的确无时无刻地笼罩着我们。尤其当一群人聚集在一起时,来自另一方的恐惧、不安就会紧随着他们,担心历史重演,尽管那群人只是和和平平地为一件事而努力。以至,大家有种观念,就是游行的,示威的,都必定与暴力挂钩。甚至,拿着布条走在街上的,都是极端分子。
真的是如此吗?别忘记,之前风雨下步行几公里的是专业人士——律师;带领人民向军政宣泄不满并引起全世界关注的是寺庙里的僧侣们;去年红海般十万人围扁的是普罗大众;年前七一大游行也是各阶层的市民;不时在领袖峰会前静坐或聚集的是环保人士、反全球化分子、反战分子等。以此来看,导致屋子倒塌,酿成悲剧的,到底是上梁,还是下梁呢?
也许是我们本身准备还不够。君不见前阵子的补选,尽管是在‘合法’条件下的造势聚会,也依然出现谩骂、冲突,及,丢水瓶的杂技;象牙塔里,青派蓝派,都是大学生,却也会作出类似的事情。也难怪上梁会一再限制下梁移动的范围,以免幅度太大时祸及上梁,殃及整栋楼房。要如红海般声势撼天却井井有条,没有骚乱,没有失去控制,是需要莫大的准备,加上群体一致的念头才行。离这目标,大概还远着吧!
其实,如果人民投诉有门,上面也事事透明,公正无私,示威游行等也许就没有出现的理由,甚至会自动消声灭迹。有了足够的讨论空间,开放式的课题对象,有效的传递管道,快狠准的解决方案,“能!”,大概就可以喊得淋漓尽致,喊得痛快,喊进心坎处了。

回头看
突然心血来潮,一一读回我一年前开始至今登在这里的文章。原来,我竟然写过那样的文字,发表过那样的意见,高呼过那样的宣言!尽管作者是我自己,但读起来还是不禁有少许陌生感。有点不相信,我,竟然曾留下过那样的痕迹。
也许真应证了老师说过的一句话:“一篇论文,必须要在截止日期前几个月就完成。然后,把它放在一旁直到一阵子后再重读一遍。你会发现,那篇论文将会给你陌生的感觉,不同的感想。那么,你就可以加以善改,做出更好的结果。”重读一番后,还真的发现许多不同的事物,及感想。也许可以说,再次审视回自己。最明显的是,原来我丝毫没改变过。还是那个会徘徊于得失之间的小子,尽管没那么频繁,没那么深层。而且,还有一些诺言,我许下了,却还没实践过。惭愧惭愧。。。
今年三月,未来这里前,我写了不少回顾,目的是为了他日回头看可以找出我已不同之处。朋友纷纷说,昌元还是那个昌元,没变多少。是好是坏,我不敢断定。但起码也符合了曾经我有的意愿:不失根。没了根,变质了的根,还谈什么明天呢?不过,接下来,会是如何呢?贫乏不变的生活,也许只有靠自己去寻找可以变的因素。当然,绝对是往好的变。
好久没如今次般,一气呵成地咬文嚼字了。大概也是因为看回自己的文字,多少与当年的文字情怀再度相逢,恨不得能与她再爱一场。这次誓不轻易让她走开了!因为,没有她的日子,我连讲话也变得吞吞吐吐,嗟呼!
回头看,绝对不是因为放不下从前,或执著于昔日光辉。就如历史般,是使你明智,重新审视自己,找回失去的本心。得空,也回头看看吧!或许,你会发现,你身上其实塞满了珍贵无比的宝藏也不定!最起码,你会开始为自己找些空间,装载接下来的宝藏。

3 Years Ago
Today, i attended my first 無機化学 lesson. Yes, the first lesson since i came here. And one more thing, i attended that lesson not in my own class but the 2nd year students one. Well, thing is liked this: there won't be any class for 無機化学 from now on, though i don't know why. So, the Thai girl who is same class with me, and myself, decided to attend the 2nd year one. It is a important subject, and we don't know how are we going to sit for the university exam if we had never made contact with those 無機化学.
But the main point of this post is not about that subject. Instead, i want to talk about what i had seen during the lesson: October of 2004. 3 years ago. This began when i was looking around and noticed that the students around me are just 17 years old. And i just couldn't help myself thinking back the same time when i was still 17... What was i doing during that time?
October 2004, the SPM trial exam was over. I still went to school everyday, though most of the others were staying at home or else going to public library to study. Well, i must say i enjoyed going to school that time. Teachers were not around, and there were just few of us, playing and chatting all day long. Studies? SPM? Naah, we just didn't feel like pushing ourselves more after the trial exam. I really worked harder for the trial compare to the real one. Never mind about that.
"Hey, did you hear it?"
"Sure! So, what are we waiting for?"
"Er...give me another 5 minutes, i want to finish this chapter first."
"Ok, 5 minutes!"
Then, after just one minute,
"Aiyah, lets go lah!"
"Haha, i know you can't stand it already!"
"You are the same what!"
"Okok, it is basketball time now!"
That was what we did after school. Well, we did stay back to study in the school library. But normally we ended up playing basketball. Then, we couldn't dare to go back to the library immediately, as we were sweating a lot. So, we ended up chatting, again. Seemed to be so many things to talk about at that time. We almost did the same thing until SPM. And We surely had a great time, which can never come back again... 3 years already since then, time flies fast indeed.
I came back to the class, didn't mean to wander any longer in 2004. Looking those around me, i suddenly felt that i had been through many things already. Of course, that is only considered as a small course of our life journey. Yet, here we are, walking beside those Japanese. Sure there are things that we have gained since we are here. I am sure there are big differences on ourselves between 3 years ago and this moment. Am i right?
