知难而进

上一次学琴,我的问题是:

手指不会放松,喜欢按弦而不是抬落,

一二指间距太大,四指放开得不够,

每次到D&A弦,手总是自然地往下走,容易走音,

上弓不够果断,手腕容易使力,

喜欢往下压弓子,

连弓的时候喜欢在后几个音上加力,

轻重掌握不好,没有节拍。。。

 

尽管如此,我对大提琴的狂热还是没有减少半分!

并且现在拉琴错误少了很多了,努力没有白费,心中也甚是欣慰。

 

除此之外,假期也就是瞎忙。

Went for Vex competition,

which fortunately not been proven to be a sheer waste of time,

For my science research, I am working with a local from Temasek, pretty sweet, I dare say.

Yesterday I brought a book The Great Philosophers. It cost me a fortune. Still I am grateful I can study the lives and ideas of history's greatest thinkers. 

Plan to wirte a bit book reviews.

Didn't study much lately. I was caught up in a mess!

What a slack lifestyle I am leading!

Looking around, there are files of homework, notes, books, cluttered, unattended.

Feel guilty somehow.

还有没有人知道

June 07

还有没有人知道

夏。
风吹花动,花动花落。
不管他天地间又平添落花几许,也都是寻常事。
人说花落人亡,天地无情。
天地本就无情,
若见有情,天早已荒,地早已老。
 
我们都被上帝骗了,
其实,世上最美好的地方是地狱。
 
佛知道了,所以佛说,我不入地狱谁入地狱。
 
蜷在床前,
一遍遍不休的,是那首缠绵温柔的歌。
 
而我还没忘记那八个字——

玄心、洞见、妙赏、深情。

改换不得,也解释不得,须得沉思一回,方才能颔首而笑。

 

而颔首低头间,仿佛岁月缓缓流过,

想要定睛时,一切都已隐去,看不清楚。

 

一生所爱

 

 

从前.

现在.

过去了再不回

 

红红落叶长埋尘土内

开始终结总是没变改

天边的你飘荡白云内

 

苦海,泛起爱恨

在世间,难逃避命运

 

相亲,竟不可接近

或我应该相信是缘分

 

情人别后永远再不回

无言落寞放眼尘世岸

鲜花虽会凋谢,但会再开

一生所爱忍让白云外

 

苦海,泛起爱恨

在世间,难逃避命运

相亲,竟不可接近

或我应该相信是缘分

苦海,泛起爱恨

在世间,难逃避命运

Victoria, thy sons are we

 

Victoria can be lovely,

so much so that the tune of Victoria school anthem can slipped out of my mouth unnoticed, and better still, people around me will join in;

 

I cheer for one another I know or don't know;

 

Swapping my two-year company- SNGS' pinafore with my roommate from Xinmin, I found now everything starts anew. Xinmin's uniform is very fit on me. That's good, I can predict what I'll look like wearing VJ's;

 

People are nice, supportive, and humourous in every possible way;

 

A small act can be heart-warming, such as,

handing my tiny orange water bottle to me, and saying " Here is your beloved water bottle";

 

The white-bearded economics lecturer, who speaks standard British English, said,

" I can't believe it when people said they couldn't understand my lovely little accent, I think it is perfect" ;

 

I went to my newly joined Chinese Orchestra, said I wanted to play cello, with no instrument and no experience at all. They said," That's quite all right. We can teach you. For instrument, ou can use the school one" (Pointing to a highly polished one on the floor, very unlike any antiquated one I conjectured beforehand);

 

I like the school culture just as I like the school motto-Nil Sine Labore;

 

The environment is so ideal. It is windy on the ninth floor. Yes, it is, now. Thick canopy of trees almost anywhere.

 

When I looked out, I can see the vast expanse of aquamarine, undistinguishable horizon, and numerous number of cargo ships.

 

Extremely near to various hawker centre (a lot of them selling satay, hum, which is superb), as well as the community library (where there are a lot of tables I can study on, lalala)

 

Now my half-empty bottle seems half-full.

 

 

苏幕遮-冬日即事

 

序:此拙作乃余习词第一首。本是要压仄韵的,搜肠刮肚不来,只好作罢。好在平韵读来倒也通顺。

因近日余每于和兴路往来,见昔日慧海图书大厦之址。余常以此钟毓灵秀,实则心向神驰。不想此馆于去年回家时就关门大吉,想来与经营不善和强烈竞争(适临学府书店)都大有干系。借余友梨子一语,此诚一山难容二虎是也。梨子与余意兴所至,携同探访旧址,终见于地下室一小门面。兴奋至极,不迭地踏进门,却是环堵萧然。残书破卷满壁,参考书倒是封面花哨,摊在正中桌上,分外刺眼。意兴阑珊。瑟瑟寒风中,颇有些儒道将亡的心境。丁亥年十一月初四于家中作。

 

     晓寒轻,雪初晴,踏遍街陌,处处故园情。昨日琼阁萍踪影。萧瑟丛中,黯黯使人惊。      车马乱,大厦擎,歌诗酩酊,不见远山景。倚楼嗟叹意难平。斜阳淡去,无月亦无星。

第一场雪

终究是下了第一场雪,
站在窗口一望,外面地上已经铺满了,皑皑地耀着眼。
天是冷起来了,每天蜗居在家,俨然要开始冬眠一般。
 
但凡出个门,总是先十二万分的不情愿,再鼓起千百倍的勇气
但走在街上,总是能被一种熟悉的温暖包围着,
徘徊中,悠然而见满街的欧式风情,
街上人们皆着深色服饰,幸而时常有那么一抹亮色闪过,
或是金属的光泽,或是淡粉深红,不紧不慢地点缀着老街。
匆匆赶路者有之,迤逦而行者有之,
然而,帽子围脖手套全副武装的人,除了我就再没有了
 
我原是不怕冷的,
也嘴硬,说,我是哈尔滨人怎么会怕冷
可最后还是败下阵来,瑟缩在羽绒服保护着的寒风里,
想,记忆中的那个我,
是不准确
还是被时间修正了?

在07年成立的文学集团——说不会话
 
成员:蔺、梨子,还有区区在下
发展状况:
来新后,以东北话结合英文,适应新加坡风俗,
又受到中华文学的熏陶,
说不会话这一派在文体和文风上实行了重大变革,
但是,由于用词艰涩险怪,又喜好用典故,
再加上统治者不支持,
发展科举考试prelim and O level,
这一派的代表人物又没有发展刊行说不会话词典,
导致后继无人。

I am fine!

如题。
 
说一下最近的经典。
在车上把手机丢了。
翌日,挂失。
然后搞了一个新的SIM,
亲爱的梦恬把多余的手机借给我
我着实高兴,心想:挺理想……
 
两天后,手机又丢了……
大家都说我是天才~
LEGEND,IT IS——
I haven't finished yet,
the funny part is,
my two-year plan is supposed to be ended by this month.
Now I either have to pay $20 plus for the SIM card, which I am not going to use without a phone
or $200 for the violation of the contract. Everyone knows what to do, but it is not the point!
The point is, this is what I call Bureaucracy...
I just simly dun want to use it while I would like to be responsible for the last month's subscription charge,
thank to starhub, I cannot.
For shame............
 
后来我就分析了一下这个事,结论是,我的话应验了。
因为我丢第一个手机那天,我们发了英文成绩,
之后,我说,我今天真是祸不单行
 
此语一出,后果果然惊悚。
老天觉得,那好,那就丢一双吧
结果~~~~
 
 

THAT did not kill me makes me stronger

Prelim is over!
That will be all I want to say...
记中华文学之轶事——
 
考前苦背,夜逢张骊。
我:“你我相逢在黑夜的海上——”
梨子作冷状。
 
这不理想。
我诗兴——实则疯性——大发:
“你有你的、正如我的,方向。
你瞎编也好,最好你记得,
今天晚上背的文学!”
 
梨子作经典状。
 

真理

人类一思考,上帝就发笑。 
 

心若冰清

最近听了康震讲的苏轼,真好,讲潇洒东坡,天伦之乐,这是怎样一种人格魅力!
要学着洒脱~
啊,Prelim~
 
学戏剧,想到余秋雨那篇《奇怪的日子》,给朋友看,朋友是这么说的:
余秋雨典型的中国文人,就爱干这事,动不动就文明野蛮,君子小人,觉得他自己特正义。
当初司马光和王安石,都是君子,结果一个变成熙宁小人,一个变成元衤右奸党。
其实真理就是真理,为真理辩护的人未必是君子,为谬误辩护的人也未必就是小人。
君子不能把谬误变成真理,小人也不能把真理变成谬误。况且真与假,君子与小人本来就难分。
资格这种东西最没法说,凭什么他就有资格判断别人的资格。
他要是能从逻辑学术角度证明莎士比亚没问题当然好,如果不能也不该在道德上做文章。
可以支持莎士比亚,但不能剥夺人们发表反面看法的资格。
讲的真实太好了,《苏东坡突围》里的那种怨气,真让人不是滋味。。。
一直不喜他,并且越来越不喜他了~
 
 
 

8th world wonder

In answer to Miss Tan Liyi, I put the video of Wentworth Miller on my blog today.
Hope you like it...
Recently, I spent a little bit more time to listen the latest news.
Then I found, if that is not called magnificent, than what else is?
 
I listened to the Reith Lectures, and I am so inspired by it!!
Jeffrey Sachs said and I quote:
 
We stand today on the 200th anniversary of the end of the slave trade in the British Empire, a step towards human freedom that was won through an unrelenting campaign of social activists over entrenched economic interests. We are celebrating the 60th anniversary of the independence of India, the 50th anniversary of the birth of independent Ghana, the first independent country in post-Colonial Africa. And of course we are at the 50th anniversary of the European Community, now the European Union. After a millennium of warfare in Western Europe, the very thought of conflict among Germany, France, the U.K., Italy and others is utterly unthinkable. As Kennedy said,

'However fixed our likes and dislikes may seem, the tide of time and events will often bring surprising changes in the relations between nations and neighbours. '

Our gravest threat on the planet remains the threat of massive war. Our species is drawn to it like moths to a flame. We are not warlike by nature - that is far too simplistic - but we are vulnerable to the allure of war to solve problems.

We are not doomed to this outcome, but we can become the accomplices to it. Two deep aspects of human psychology are crucial here. The first is that human beings hover between cooperation and conflict. We are actually primed psychologically, and probably genetically, to cooperate, but only conditionally so. In a situation of low fear, each of us is prone to cooperate and to share -- even with a stranger. Yet when that trust evaporates, each of us is primed to revert to conflict, lest we are bettered by the other. Game theorists call this strategy "Tit for Tat," according to which we cooperate at the outset, but retaliate when cooperation breaks down. The risk, obviously, is an accident, in which cooperation collapses, and both sides get caught in a trap in which conflict becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. In that all-too-real nightmare, we end up fighting because we fear that the other will fight. This fear is confirmed by fear itself. Wars occur despite the absence of any deeper causes.

The second crucial piece of human psychology is that we are social animals, with a strong tendency to identify with an in-group. We classify ourselves as New Yorkers, or Americans, or Jews, or Muslims, or professors, or artists, or bankers. In most cases, we are a part of many groups. Our identities are multi-faceted, and that knits us together in overlapping webs of trust and shared regard. Yet in an environment of fear, a single in-group, a single "us" can suddenly take over. The world becomes divided between "us" and "them." Suddenly, we are Jews and Arabs, Christians and Muslims, Hutus and Tutsi, Shiites and Sunnis. Peaceful coexistence over centuries becomes carnage over weeks and months. Psychologists have shown that a child's attachment to an in-group begins as early as age 6, and that fear of an out-group, especially a low-status outgroup, is manifested at that young age, and even at the unconscious level.

Put these two pieces - Tit-for-Tat strategy and "us versus them" logic -- together and we can see how the world confronts alternative futures. One possible future is a world in which trust builds trust, cooperation begets cooperation. Our identities are multiple. I may be a New Yorker, working at Columbia University, in partnership with my colleagues in Egypt and Jordan, to address problems of water and climate in the Middle East. That kind of multi-faceted identity is the road to peace, to a mid-century of prosperity, to an anniversary of 1914 that notes human folly and tragedy rather than human fate.

I return, once again, to John Kennedy's deepest insight, the one that he gained and shared with the world after peering into the nuclear abyss in October 1962. This insight explains why we can cooperate, and why we will. As he said:

'For in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal.'

Norstradamus

 Norstradamus...My recent favourite...
 
冷冽而肃杀的钢琴独奏响起,
预言家脑中战火硝烟纷飞,
战争是新时代的前奏曲。
 
机械式的节奏,
是杀人机器的步伐,
踏向烽火连连的未知。
血的腥味,
随着烈焰焚烧的城市卷起的龙卷风,
充斥在满布电子信息的空气中。
  
万籁俱寂中,
韩德尔的帕萨卡格利亚舞曲响起 (Passacaglia),
像是一道天使吟唱的夜曲,
伴着教人无法喘息的炮火,
终究只是一丝无谓的光明,
在夜空中一瞬而过……
 
九百篇密藏的预言诗,
百诗箴预示四百年间的纷扰世事,
法国大革命、希特勒崛起、二次大战,
尽在言下,乃至于世界末曰?

well...

I dare say that Pride and Prejudice is my favouriate by now.
I delved in my reading these days... and found the Victorians are so pleasant
They are leading a marvellous life.
I am so fascinated by the way they talk, and their thinking...
the dancing...and dining...
lakes...and poultry...
By and by, I figured out...it is the serenity that obcessed me.
 
Well...
March holiday, CIP and extended lessons
are what I am gotta to cope with.

I have already tried my best...

OK OK I really tried my best to calm down
I am sick of conplaining recently, but I couldn't help it.
昨天回去路上,我说
以前,写作文不用想,就写出来了,
现在,作文写出来了,而别人不知你在想什么
 
抱怨过以后心里果然好了一点。。。

西绪弗斯是幸福的

好吧
周而复始
劳而无功
 
他的悲壮在于
主人公是有意识的
 
我不知道是不是真的可以说
没有轻蔑克服不了的命运
但也要坚信
西绪弗斯是幸福的
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

无题

呜呼,士穷乃见结义。
今夫平居里巷相慕悦,
酒食游戏相征逐,
诩诩强笑语以相取下,
握手出肺肝相示,
指天日涕泣,誓生死不相背负,真若可信。
 
一旦临小利害,
仅如毛发比,
反眼若不相识,落陷阱,
不一引手救,反挤之,又下石焉者,皆是也。
此宜禽兽夷狄所不忍为,
而其人自视以为得计,
闻子厚之风,亦可以少愧矣!
 
《悼柳子厚墓志铭》今旧卷新读,始会其义,
而因其情态具出,亦有叹焉,又不免悲不自胜。
 

白话文句子过长,语气难促,

故不善于表达壮烈激愤的刚阳情调。

白话文实词贫瘠乏味,虚词单调不雅,结构变化差度不大,

故而无灵活多变的句子,无清丽怨慕的意味,

很难表达缠绵轻快之类的阴柔情调。

诗,何时能再现《前赤壁赋》的痴迷?

 

何谓音情并茂?

何伟百家争鸣?

而偏偏要黄老之于儒经,骈赋之于散行,

礼教之于心理般的势不两立,害也不浅。

古今的决裂,致使多少青少年无鹜趋西方的某些腐朽思想?

文化战”,相信有识之士都知深浅。和平演变,殷鉴不远。

 

经典,之所以万事不朽,

不仅之因其是时代典范、集大成者,

也是民族自豪感的价码。

学习经典,不仅是完善文格,更是美化人格。

善性的定位,无此滋熏,

亦如不游名川,无以广心胸般,

难有豁朗之暗柳名花。

文艺界无经典的维系,如众兵无将,必杂似乱麻;

意识上的无主,社会亦将处动荡。

不可不慎。

 

当世之世,意识主流的所趋,已足以左右经济的衰盛。

统领思想,是未来无论何方面取得的胜利的诸多因素中的必然保障。

 

文学界当所致力。

 

论调深得我心,而更值得称颂的,还是——“独立之精神,自由之思想”~~~

改天我摘录一些

三国三国

 

 

最近又被三国迷住了

对诸人物的感情却是变了又变

喜欢上曹操,青梅煮酒,横槊赋诗,乃真性情中人也

 

曹操每次都是大笑,刘备却只会大哭

丢面子不要紧,反正有军师帮他算好了,

他只管把事哭成,把人搀来或是泪眼婆娑地送走,

倒也落个好名声

 

诸葛亮我一直是爱到无以复加,却也不由得感叹

这样鞠躬尽瘁活得可真累,

淡泊明志宁静致远这样多好,

但仔细算来,亮真是历史上唯一一个没被排挤,活到寿数,平生得志,

并且留得身后名,被美化到神机妙算,每次料敌机先,只须送个锦囊,自然化敌,

这也可以说是灼灼其华,历史天空上不落的一颗星了,

 

可他活得太累了

 

做个充实又快乐的人,到底该怎么样,

每个人都有不同的答案,

对于我,我希望是,

能够坚持自己的信念,

看着天的尽头就一直走下去,

找到通向美与真理的永恒的路。。。
