救狗记

今天放工走去车子的时候,听到了很凄凉的叫喊声,好像一个人活生生的被人用门猛夹着手指头。

虽然人人都说好奇杀死猫(华语),curiosity kills a cat(英文),好奇杀死猫(客家话),好奇杀死猫(粤语)等等,现在你们知道我有超强的语言能力了吧!

说到哪里了?虽然好奇心是不好的,但我还是朝声音传来的地方走去。原来是小狗跌入水沟,而它的妈妈无法救它。水沟大约有我的一半身高那么高。二话不说,马上跳下去将它抱起来,虽然它有尝试逃跑。

抱起来,它全身脏脏的,还在找哪里有路可以跑出去。妈妈已经跑到不见踪影,真可恶。不要养就不要不避孕,好不好?爽了自己,苦了孩子。

想起了大约六年前,也发生了同样的事件,只不过跌下去的是比较大只的狗宝宝。当时是狗妈妈在叫,焦虑地叫着。跑出去看,果然卡住在水沟里,也是有我一半身高左右。

跳下去,一方面要抱它起来,一方面怕它会不会咬我。后来我跟狗妈妈说“你跟它说我是来救它的,不要咬我”,哈哈。后来,狗宝宝真的静静让我抱上去。

没什么厉害的,纯粹勾起了旧回忆。


记性不好

我试过在做腹部运动的时候,或者在举哑铃的时候,做到一半我忘记到底完成了几次。

是的。就那么一二三四过后,咦?四次还是三次?
也试过二十八,二十九之后,真的是二十八次了吗?怎么好像肌肉没有那么累。嗯,再做多十下吧!
更试过好像做了很多次,嘴里出来的竟然只是十五十六。

也许是一边看电视的关系吧!一脑不能二用。腹部运动还好,因为多做反正是赚到。倒是举哑铃,由于是单边的关系,最好是两只手臂操练的次数都一样。不然一边手臂比较发达就会被笑说很清楚是用哪一只手打飞机了。

如果可以的话,希望记性差是能够有选择性的。好的就回味多一会儿,不好的就回味一下下,最重要是有学习到教训。哈哈。

直到今天在网络上看到这张照片,原来我并非不快乐。

为记性差万岁!

大选讲座会

长这么大,还是第一次参加大选前的政治讲座会。参加的意思是离开家里一段距离的地方去听,不像以前老家就在公园前方,任何讲座就算不出门都可以听到一清二楚,哪怕你压根儿都不想听的。

我的第一次就这样献给了火箭。好样吗?好样吧!

第一次难免有点紧张,像张健仁说那样,第一次换政府大家都会有一点点怕,会有一点点痛。但是只要换下去之后,换多几次就不会怕了,反而会觉得爽。

七点钟开始的讲座会,接近七点的时候已经很难找到车位,更不用说讲座会附近食档的桌位。一个人去集会就是有一种困难的地方,一方面要霸着位子,一方面又要去点晚餐。负责饮料的更是忙到团团转,一罐绿茶无法马上送到我面前。还好干盘面的老板经过,我就顺便点了干盘面。老实说,不好吃,如果不是骑虎难下我真的还不会去点。

吃完面后,直接跟柜台买了一罐绿茶就往人潮走去。集会开始播放一些影片,大多数是408的画面,看到警察如何粗鲁对待手无寸铁的人民,内政部长还夸奖警察很仁慈等等。虽然看了很多相似的影片,但当场看了还是有一点点感触,眼眶泛泪。

当晚我所看到的演讲人包括Stampin候选人陈国宾、Sri Aman的Leon、诗巫的叶海量以及Kuching候选人张健仁。各个演讲人的素质都很好,三语皆可,幽默的来又不会太过离题。

不过还是有以下几点本人觉得可以做得更好:
1)不需要攻击对手的名字,比如那个陈X。开不开也不关他们或者人民的事,因为人们心中已经很清楚他到底会不会开。只会炒回教国的他,走不远。
2)播放的影片如果附有马来文或者英文字幕会更加好,方便非华人的支持者明白影片所带出来的信息。
3)如果可以播放Global Witness所拍到白毛亲戚如何侮辱土地拥有者、如何将人民的土地转变成自己的财富。当晚演讲者只是说说带过,许多身后的安娣都“哇”,可想她们和老一辈的也许没什么机会看到这个影片。
4)很少提到治安。治安亮红灯也是大马人民所面对的一个大难题。去跑步可能分分钟没命,走在路上也可能分分钟被弄死,坐在车里被杀手射死。这不是只发生在西马,古晋、诗巫和美里也有发生类似的事件。

贪污就是我们最赌懒的,再来就是官官相卫,所以我们一定要大家继续赌懒下去,一直到五月五。

阿丹杜雅(Altantuya)在这次的大选里也是非常忙碌的,一会儿被人放在看板上,一会儿就被执法人员拆下来。原来某些人相信这世界是有鬼的,而他那时候正在古晋跑上跑下,他的下属非常贴心怕老板看到鬼照片而吓到睡不着,所以马上拆掉。

当晚有多少民众出席,我不知道,我只知道密密麻麻都是人。男女老少,站的站,坐的坐,我想去拿B1RM应该都没有这么壮观。后来有人说应该3000人,我想差不多上下左右吧。

我从七点多站着听了三个多小时,除了双脚酸类,原来腰也是会酸的。十点多左右,在张健仁还在发表政见的时候,我静悄悄地离去了。只能够说,我老了。哈哈。

这就是我的第一次,不是很痛。

数字游戏

403,首相终于解散国会,不过是在一年前的今天。也许是第一次解散,所以紧张到嘴巴比脑子快。人生总有许多第一次,比如说我第一次上台演讲就说成了“各位校长。。。”。呵呵!

418,火箭被告知不能够坐火箭。大部份人民跑出来干礁涉及单位。街坊流传了一句绕口令:有火箭,投火箭。没火箭,投眼睛。没眼睛,月亮代表我的心。

419,买好机票船票。

420,今天是很重要的一天,首先是我家大少爷的生日。OK啦,今天也是赵明福的生日。更是马来西亚第十三届全国大选的提名日。火箭照样升空。照提名的结果看来,你乱我也乱。政治是很现实的,有谁真的能心甘情愿做到顾全大局?

505, 换政府  先要返厝,去投票,再换政府。我想那一晚全国人民一定是很紧张,很刺激的。在想变天后,民联的中央政府能够肃立榜样同样也拨款给非民联所赢得的席位,那么改次国阵的人再也不能以“输了就没有发展”来吓人民了。

506,预先请假,没事别找我。还有这一天是某位蒙古女郎的生日吗?希望她得到她想要的生日礼物。

519,落发日。不是出家,只是为癌症孩子出一份力。这将是第二次也是最后一次落发,往后只会以捐钱方式来支持他们。如果你也想出一份力,请谷歌Go Bald吧!

616,跑步日。只是十公里,应该没问题。最近已经开始更上一层楼的魔鬼训练,以进入状态。Run 4 Fun。

只是立场的问题

随着马来西亚第十三届全国大选的提名后,“你选者谁”几乎成为大家都想知道的事情之一,尤其是公众人物。说明白一点就是受邀出席与国阵有关的活动的名人们。中弹的就有杨紫琼、巫启贤等等。

在面子书看到一张图片,话说她出席了一项晚宴,然后说了一些话而引起的反效果。
图片来源

其实,对我来说每一个人都可以有自己的立场,不管他/她选的是不是和我们一样,他/她已经做了决定。而那决定足于影响她一生,无论是好或坏。只要他/她日后不后悔于他/她所做和说的一切,那就不干我们什么鸟事了。

就算她说了一千句:‘那条水是最好的,你知不知道?”又会如何?我们是不是会因为这么一句话就动摇了自己本身的信念?不会的。

只要相信自己所做的一切都是对得起自己,就够了。我们无法去操控别人,更别说改变他们的思想。我们只能传达信息给他们,到最后会变成什么样的结局,恐怕连神都无法猜测。

就等着那一天的到来,让人民“投”出我们想要的一片天吧!

如果古晋不叫做古晋

古晋之所以叫做古晋是因为大家都把Kuching读为Ku-Ching。

如果当年的边个边个所起名的其实是Kuc-Hing呢?

想想看,如果当初为古晋命名的人其实是想称之古兴而不是古晋,那么历史也许也要重写了。

历史是不必重写啦,但地理和旅游的就要。毕竟古兴已经和猫城没有了关系,虽然古晋也只能够勉强的攀上一点点丁的关系。

相信就算是古晋本地人也不清楚古晋等于猫城的逻辑,除了和马来文的kucing同音。严格来说也不算同音因为h的关系。

说了这么多,只是想说这个古兴的说法其实是来自一位六岁的小孩子。小孩子的天马行空是无限的。任由他们自由发挥吧!

古兴!!

THE GOODNESS OF OUR LORD JESUS


朋友的一篇文章,关于主,有兴趣请继续阅读。

My mother told me tonight, that my father wanted me to share this in Facebook.
I was inactive in Facebook for such a long, long, long dinosaur time, only login due to certain request.
This is a request that I cannot turn down.

My father's name is John Su. And this is his story.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                                                         "THE GOODNESS OF OUR LORD JESUS"

                                                                     JOHN SU SUNG YIENG


I was born in Sibu in 1953 to a big family of three brothers and three sisters and attended a missionary school for my early education. As a boy, I was playful, active and rebellious.

Being a very active basketball player, I participated in a lot of competitions during my younger days. Through the competitions, I was selected to represent the state of Sarawak at the age of 19.  I felt great because I was doing something I loved, which was playing basketball. However, my lifestyle eventually changed and I began to forget about our Lord Jesus. I no longer attended Sunday masses and completely forgot about Him. My life was pretty good and I was at the prime of my youth, doing what I loved with total freedom.  Needless to say, I was turning into a very rebellious young man.

I moved to Kuching from Sibu in 1971 and joined the police force as a Border Scout. Back then, the Communists were very active, so in 1973, I resigned from the police force and joined  a semi-government department. It was a new life and experience for me in Kuching and life was full of promises and possibilities but in 1974, that was 39 years ago, a tragedy struck.

One fateful afternoon, I was viciously attacked by a group of gangsters.  Slashed, I lost my right hand and was badly disfigured on my face, nose and mouth. Worse still, I was left bleeding and dying by the roadside and no one dared to come to my aid. It was only when a truck carrying some army personnel passed by that I was rescued and sent to the SGH.  Looking back, our Lord Jesus has been so good to me for He has kept me from the grave and blessed me with love and mercy by sending a truck of angels to my rescue. Praise the Lord! Thank you, Lord!  Praise His Holy Name!

Due to the incident, I was hospitalized for a year at the KL General Hospital to undergo corrective procedures on my face. During that period of time too, I started to think of God.  I admitted that the incident had left me tamed and humbled. I tried to attend Sunday Masses again and to return to the Lord.

After I was discharged from the KL General Hospital, I returned to my post in Kuching.  However, my relationship with the Lord was no better and I slowly lost interest in Him. In due course, I forgot about Him and attended mass only once in a blue moon.

Reflecting on this period of my life, I have come to realize that our Lord Jesus actually loves me so much! The Lord is so good and kind to me because He has still left me with a mouth to eat and one left hand to do things including driving.  Come to think of it, I could have lost more or even my life!  The ungrateful me, very sadly, never thanked Him and had never appreciated what He has done for me back then. Yes, I attended church once in a while but my relationship with the Lord was not close at all and I never took the initiative to know Him more. Worse, after the tragic incident, I always thought about taking revenge and started mixing around with gangsters. I was so consumed with hatred and an unwillingness to forgive and forget that I had no peace of mind.

Once more, our Lord Jesus never gave up on me and He showered me with an abundance of love and graces. As a young man with physical impairment, I never in my wildest dreams thought I would be able to get married, settled down and have a family of my very own. Who would want to spend the rest of her life with a person like me? But our Lord Jesus had better plans for me. I met a wonderful lady, who has not only accepted and loved me as I am, but was also willing to marry me, despite my condition.  Today, she is still my super and caring good wife, Cecilia Chai.
“He who finds a wife, finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.” (Proverbs: 18:22)

I was a happy man but my relationship with our Lord Jesus was still the same. It wasn’t a deeper relationship and neither was it worse. Again, the Lord never forgot me for He did not stop there with me being married to my wife.  He continued to shower me with His blessings and this time, He has blessed my wife and I with a beautiful and healthy daughter, giving us a complete family to love and cherish! I started attending mass every week with my family. We even participated in rosary group prayers and these went on for a number of years as our daughter was growing up.

Still, at that point in time, I wasn’t earning much and sometimes we did not have enough money and I had to resort to borrowing money to feed my family and myself. There were times when we just had a bowl of kolok mee for dinner. Life was hard for a number of years but again, the Lord has never abandoned me!

I was introduced to a better prospect and my financial standing gradually improved. We were able to have enough food to eat, good clothes to wear, extra money to renovate our house, extra money to travel and drive good cars. Eventually, we moved to a bigger and better house. I was at the peak of my life, living a good life and ultimately, I forgot the Lord, again. I slowly began to slack where going to church was concerned, sometimes giving the excuses of being too busy and not being able to attend because of one reason or another.  In time, after that, I forgot about the Lord completely and was living and enjoying my own good life. I was more engrossed in the material things of the world and had forgotten to gather the riches in Our Lord, the Father’s Kingdom.

During the year 2009, I wasn’t feeling well, and was slowly losing my appetite. My body weight began to drop. I did countless blood tests but every time, nothing suspicious was detected. This went on for a number of months. It was only when I had my colonoscopy that I was diagnosed with colon cancer.  I had the first operation done to remove part of my colon. Then, I remembered our Lord, our God, and asked my wife and daughter to pray hard for me. I cried out to Our Lord JESUS,  for help, and asked Him to  heal me.

After my operation, I had my chemotherapy (8 cycles) done in Singapore, while the radiotherapy was conducted in Kuching.  Our Lord Jesus has loved me so much that I suffered no harsh side effects of the chemotherapy: no vomiting and no nauseas and I even had a good appetite. Everything was just normal. I walked, drove and was feeling pretty confident that I would get well. I started attending masses every weekend, but still I felt I wasn't changed completely from the inside. I was still living a sinful life and was in particular, a very hot-tempered person.

In 2010, during a follow- up examination, the doctor found traces of cancer cells in my body and I was required to have another round of chemotherapy, using new drugs this time (6 cycles).  Initially, I was very disappointed and started to lose hope.  But then, I remembered Our Lord and turned to Him for help again.

In 2011, while undergoing another round of check-up, I was  informed that cancer cells were detected to be  still in my body.  To make matters worse, they have spread to my bladder and the muscles of the wall of my abdomen. All doctors recommended a surgery to remove all the bad cells but I was afraid.  It took me one month to finally make up my mind to have the operation. A day before my admission, my family and I went to more than three churches in KL to seek God's blessings and protection. It was a major operation lasting more than 6 hrs. I had my bladder and all the muscles of my abdomen  wall removed. The operation was successful and with that I felt more relaxed and I started to pray to our Lord Jesus for help and to thank Him.  Fortunately, new drugs were available and I started another round of chemotherapy again.

After a few months (in 2012), as I was recovering from my operation and undergoing chemotherapy, it was discovered that the cancer cells were spreading again.  I have undergone 7 cycles of chemotherapy for the new drugs and as the treatment wasn't working, it had to be stopped immediately.  Apparently, the more chemotherapy I have, the faster the cancer cells are spreading.  This time, they had spread to my lungs, liver and rectum. I have tried a lot of alternative treatments, alternative drugs and different types of chemotherapy medicines, but none of them have worked.  I cried a lot with my wife and I prayed to Our Lord Jesus, asking Him to heal me.

In 2012, I was hospitalized a lot of times, and was in and out of the hospital. I even suffered heavy bloating in my stomach and was sent back to the operation theatre in Singapore where, mercifully, the condition was corrected.  Back in Kuching, I had chemotherapy again with a different new drug (12 cycles) but only managed to undergo up to the seventh cycle as the new drugs were ineffective. Until today, I have not been on chemotherapy.  In fact, it has been nearly six months that I am without any drugs or chemotherapy whatsoever. Praise  the Lord JESUS for He is good and always at my side, healing and loving me. Thank you, LORD JESUS!  I love you!

This year, 2013, I was admitted  to the SGH from 13.2.2013 till 26.2.2013 (our fourth day of the Chinese New Year and was discharged after Chap Goh May). During my follow-up examination last month, I was admitted again before Good Friday but discharged on 3.4.2013. It was during Easter that I had a dream of JESUS talking to me.  

He said, "John, I have taken your right hand away from you thirty nine years ago, but I have still given you a mouth to eat, and one hand to do your daily work, including driving but you have never shared the glory of GOD with others."  I woke up, shocked and sobbed  badly.  I quickly thanked and praised Him as well as asked for His forgiveness for my sins and my negligence.

Here, I have my true life sharing, " The Goodness of Lord Jesus Christ", with every one. Currently, I have no appetite, am feeling weak and cannot walk, drive or carry out my daily routines and am bedridden. Nevertheless, I trust in our Lord Jesus and His works of signs, miracles and wonders.  Praise the Lord!

I have completely surrendered myself and my life to our Lord Jesus and am depending on him fully for help and for His healing. Trusting in Him and, in Him, there is always HOPE.  I believe our Lord Jesus will definitely take care of me and heal me without fail, every moment of the day if it is His Will for me to recover and be entirely healed.  These 4 years of sufferings and hardships have totally changed me, inside and on the outside.  I have started to take steps to know more about Him, our Lord Jesus.  I have attended mass every weekend without fail and participated in the DMD prayer every day whenever possible (until these few months as I have been too weak to do so) and joined the Emmaus prayer meetings, which I tried to attend again, whenever possible (but have to stop attending lately as I have been too weak to do so).

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for sending people to pray over me and with me and my family, especially the sisters and brothers in Christ from the Emmaus Servant Community of BSC and the DMD Apostolate of  St. Peter 's Church, Padungan.  Thank you to all who have helped me along the way.  Bless them, Lord, and their families, seal them with Your Most Precious Blood, and protect them from all evil, danger and harm.  Thank you, Lord JESUS.

Regardless of what my future will be, healed (and praise your Holy Name, Lord!) or to go Home to be with You, Lord, in Your Eternal Kingdom,  I will praise You,  thank You and love You, Lord Jesus, because I know You will take care of me. Use me, nevertheless,  dear Lord, to do Your Will and according to Your Will. I am willing to serve you and to share my life experiences with others about how You have been there for me, every single moment without fail. Everything is under Your Control and You know what is best for me.  Thank You, Lord Jesus!

“For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to bring about the future you hope for.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

Lord Jesus, I trust in You.  Lord Jesus, I trust in You. Lord Jesus, I trust in You.  Amen.

人生有多少个一年之project一岁了

去年的今天,人身在美里的市政局里,为准备多时的系统出世而迎接挑战。
和战友一起扛着大大的CPU坐着飞机,不知有没有人在嘲笑呢?
第一晚和大伙一起苦干(其实是其他人苦干,我们在等着晚餐时间),九点多才去吃晚餐,第一次出差,印象深刻。
那一天是四月九日。

第二天有过之而无不及,晚上眼看就得加班了,大伙决定一大早先去吃晚餐填饱肚子才挑灯开夜车。这晚,过了十二点才收工。
印象更加深刻。
那一天是四月十日。

接下来的六个星期内,每个星期都飞往古晋美里之间,有时两个人作伴,有时一个人孤军作战,镇守大本营。

一年后,想起了那一段时间特别的感慨,尤其是那一段一起被骂的日子。无辜被骂但却无法为自己辩护是非常苦恼的。
那一段当场需要解决系统的问题,在与时间搏斗的紧张心情,一瞬间肾上腺素急速上升,那感觉就一言难尽。

一转眼一年,大家一起工作,从路人变朋友,算是有缘。
再转眼又一年,什么也没有,就希望大家一起赚大钱。

一岁快乐。
该吃个饭庆祝庆祝一下。

印尼咖喱啦

那天像失魂鱼那样不小心走入了号称一马却只有那只鸡才能够以3.50吃到一块炸鸡炸鱼苏东的经济套餐的餐厅。才踏入餐厅却发现了人潮汹涌,排队的还多过国阵宣布大选宣言的四万人还要多呢!

问一问前面的马来同胞阿末,是什么东西吸引他顶着烈日也要排队呢?
他说:“印尼咖喱啦!”

问一问华人阿姨陈大娘同样的问题。
她说:“印尼咖喱啦!”

再来就是印度大兄拉马詹得拉
他也说:“圆的不能拿,方的能拿。印尼咖喱啦!”

再走走看看,连平常不敢吃辣的厝边隔壁都来排队要吃印尼咖喱啦!
这么不寻常的迹象竟然发生在这鸟不拉屎的小地方,真的是百年难得一见。
居于这份好奇心,我继续排下去。

终于轮到我了。
只见林伯伯帮我盛满一盘白饭,哈伯伯装满整盘的印尼咖喱,安伯伯笑着跟我收马币3.50。
问他为什么可以这么便宜?
他们三人齐回答说:“因为我们没有买贵,没有贪污,没有照顾朋党没有被干捞,最重要的是我们没有特别照顾单一族群。”
随后还送上一杯雪茶,说:“因为经营有道,回馈社会。”

我想这就是我吃过最美味的印尼咖喱了。

请大家也一起来吃良三伯(善良的三个伯伯)的印尼咖喱啦
