Emptiness

Pouring it from the jar

With greatest care

The emptiness flows with all forms and shapes

The receiving vessel

With thousand holes

Holding the great source of Emptiness

Breeze whistles among leaves

Lights needle through

Space of nothingness

Life is only a process of passing

In the stream of time

Along with

Emptiness

At its end

上一回走伟奇路,应该是五十年前的事矣。一想起當年景,不尽心酸不己。事因当时是应母亲的吩咐,每天风雨不改的带大弟国榮去三山小学上课。每天都得徒步走这長長的上山路。还记得当時如果天气炎热,一路还有蝉声相随。无奈上蒼弄人,大弟在他十岁时,不幸患上无名病症,逝於当時的中央医院。我也失去了兒時玩伴。因他只小我一岁。

Last time I walked Wikie Road (Behind Selegie Road), it was about fifty years ago. Today, I wanted to view a Photography Exhibition that was house at 11 Mount Sophia Road, I have to walk through it. As I took my slow stroll, lots of old memories and heartaches oozed from the past. Went I was young then, my mum used to ask me to fetch my younger brother Kok Weng to Shan San Primary School, which was located at the end of Wikie Road (Now opposite St. Margerate Primary). I still can recall if the weather was hot, we could hear cicadas screeching along the path we walked. But good days did not last long, my brother, Kok Weng died at the age of 10 with an unknown disease at General Hospital. I lost my dearest childhood playmate; as he was only one year younger than me.



这里所拍的景,大多是今日沿着伟奇路所拍的。上途红色小屋是苏菲亞路十号对面的屋子。它的外形独特,古雅中带一絲妖艳。下图是前南華小学的旧址。五十年来它甚少变換。我的小学同学楊亮遠,与当时的南華前校長楊女士还是亲戚关系呢!当时每日必定和大弟在它面前走过。

下图这屋子应该是我長大后,屋主翻新老屋再重建的吧,很有韵味的一座小屋。还命名为宁居。实在有意思。
This unique house must be rebuilt under the new owner; it has an interesting outlook.


这基督教教堂,也有五十年的历史了。自我懂事,它己矗立在那里。
This church was at the junction of Wikie Road and Niven Road, as far as I am concerned, it was there when I was as young as seven years old.

Obama finally made it to the US President post. In his speech, he mentioned that the old American dream still lived on, and America is a real democratic country.

To me, he is voted in as the President of USA, that is the fact. But the other things he mentioned, have yet to be proven. Putting a minority as the head of a big nation, may not be easily accepted by some people. I can foresee there will be some forms of resistance rise from the society later.

As for Obama himself, if he take on the job fair and squarely, he would get the support from his people. But if he choose to slant a little, then there will be lots of unrest in the society.

This is why Bush said: May God bless him.
