下次搬家要看黄历

今天搬家,累到不得了!

没查黄历,应该不适合搬家,诸事不顺。

车迟来,不要紧。来了辆大校车。太大,不可以下basement。

搬东西没带trolley,ok, use hand。3 个人加我和室友。搬到一楼,他们说不行,虽然你的车停在哪。好!then 搬到basement, 妈的!要走多一层楼才到车子哪。我的英文字母已经出在嘴边了。

去到校车哪,也不知是车太小或东西太多(我宁可是 前者),一张床加桌子搬不进。

好!打电话临时搬救兵-第一个兵在两个芒果那塞车没法来。

还好,第二通Auntie 哪可以。5点出发,8点到-塞车!天啊!地啊! 3个小时耶!

后来,电话没电,满身臭汗。要回到起点时,路上又塞车!还好,不久,‘才’一个小时。晚上9点冲凉,吃面包-因为累,不想吃饭。我的房间没点泡(我拆了)现在好累,不行了。要回到我那空空荡荡的房间睡了。 晚安!

唉!+ 万岁!万岁!万万岁!

我记得上次搬家时,我明明清清楚楚狠狠地跟自己发过誓,别买或收集太多东西。

唉!

怎么知道。。。。14个水果纸箱!(别告诉我爸爸哦!不然他会很得意,女儿又在外国开枝散叶了。他也可能会很伤心,照情形看, 他女儿我非常有可能在印尼落地生根。)

3箱衣服,5箱参考书,1箱打印机,5箱‘以后可能会用到的东西’- 刚刚收拾,还是舍不得丢。其中包括:上百个DVDs,文具,杂七杂八的东西。

唉! 收拾到后来,我。。。超级无敌的累了。
不行了。横下心,决定闭只眼,把东西全部都




堆到/丢到/放到/塞到箱子里,以后再收拾吧!

妈呀!救救我吧!

Anyway, 今天终于教完了! 万岁!会想念我的学生,but, i guess i should concentreate to play and eat and rest!

明天搬家,后天回家!万岁!万岁!万万岁!

Fighting war everyday in my apartment

These few days are like fighting against the war, messy, stress, nosiy...
batch by batch, the students come & go. Just pray hard they did well for this final examination.

My worst nightmare today is the preparation for Maths paper tomorrow. 7 students came together and have tuition!

Ahhhhh! i almost couldn't handle it! Luckily i got anwer sheets for their revision so just check n tell them how to do without starting from the scratch & waste too much time.

Didn't cook today & don't intent to cook for this week too since will be busy teaching & shifting. Plus, i aldy sold my refrigerator, so can't keep food for too long. Aldy predicted the mess i will have today, so ordered in advance the food yesterday from the warung store downstair to be delivered this noon. That one packet of food lasted me for whole day, or 2 meals (both lunch & dinner). Heng no gastric pain.

Felt my throat painful & dry yesterday nite, guess it was the viruse that is floating in the air. Heard many people in my ex-school are down with related illnesses. Today, felt so much better and can talk & scold at the top of my voice :)

Heehee! 4 more days & i will be back home to wear my super mini-short! :)

垃圾收集站’

又要搬家了,唉!头大!

再加上又逢考试季节,要为学生准备练习作业,每天要印试卷,改试卷(当场改,当场还给他们回家温习,脑筋要转得快跟准)。补习时间也加了,好多学生周末都要来加班。好可怜哦!我也是。。。

忙里又要抽空整理我的鸟窝,我爸爸会说那叫‘垃圾收集站’。只因丢东西前我都会想一想:“呃!好像以后会用到哦!”,所以, 我都会把那样‘以后会用到的东西’又收了起来。但是,以后好像永远没来leh! 堆得像小富士山般的东西,就这样傻傻的躺在房里的角落,等待春天的来临。

刚刚到垃圾房丢东西时,顺手捡了两个纸皮箱,好彩没被人捡走。这里的纸皮箱好难找哦!

不知是整理得太干净不习惯还是想家,这几晚都睡不好,绵羊都数到生孙子了,我还在帮他们做记录。

下午去教Auntie 的儿子和女朋友华文,回来时明明以为跟司机讲好我要去血拼的,但是。。。。他却直接送我回家。。。。看来我的印尼文还有待加强。

Thursday, May 24, 2007

我念书时最讨厌的事是。。。

考试季节。






起得早,又赶场。学生来了一批又一批。骂了一批又一批。唉!

但是哦,呵!呵!也是收钱的日子哦!
又忙又开心呢!

听说印尼盾下跌,新币升哦!所以,我手头上的印尼盾会换的比较多那一点点点点。
看来,星期六可以血拼(shopping)了!

还有8天就从回祖国的怀抱哦哦了!

东主没精神

我明天可能要失声了,喉咙好不舒服丫!
身体又怪怪的, 猛灌了好几杯水/果汁,还是没好转。反而频频跑厕所。

唉!算破纪录了,将近一年没生病了。左思右想,还想不出怎么会失声leh?
我的饮食都很简单,没有太刺激性的东西leh。

Anyway, 今天早早收挡,东主没精神。晚安。

No more lonely night

Hunting for my favourite DVDs today at Manga Duo today after my tuition at Ancol. As usual, it was very crowded there (people mountain people sea).

Knowing which store to buy it from, i headed straight to it. The lady boss can speak mandarin, thanks to the pirated DVDs business she had, she got the chance to watch & learn mandarin.

Her sister n brother also own another store nearby. Once, she told me that they have to pay the police 7juta (ar S$150) per store for protection money. Protection = police come, they got wind n close shop early. Imagine the amount of money they police collected from the whole building!

What did i buy today? Let me see:
'Nip Tuck' season 3 & 4 (total 10 discs)
'ATLANTIS-MILO'S RETURN'-cartoon
'CSI-LV'-season 7A,7B(Total 4 discs)
Down here, pirated DVDs are very cheap, Rp5000/disc & best deal is 'buy 10 get 1 free'.

Well, with those abundance DVDs here, how can i be lonely? My only problem now is, i bought too many n now i am having problem storing them or disposing them. Being an obedient citizen of my country, i cannot bring all back home, right???

Comparing myself now n 2 years back, i guess i am more courageous now. I can take the local transport by myself from place to place (of course, it must be within my comfort zone).

From manga duo, i need to take the small mini-bus 39(they called it angkor?). cost is Rp2000 ($0.33) for a short journey of about 10 minutes.

This small blue bus will bring u directly to the best invention in Jakarta-the Transjakarta or the local called it bus-way. No matter how many times u transfer within the inter-change, the cost is only Rp 3500($0.60).This is an air-con bus (yes, strong air con too on most of the buses) which have its own road,ie, they specially paved another bus road for it so it is jam-free! No more worry about the traffic jam n the best part is, u watch other people suffer! 哈!哈!i know it is bad of me to say this, sorry.

During rush hour, u just have to wait patiently with the locals, queueing shoulder to shoulder with them, smell the special fragrant of each individual, pretend to listen to their conversation although u don't understand a thing of what they said (that is what i call, act-to-blend-in-with-them-so-u-survive-too-technique). Don't behave like u r very rich or u don't belong to them, smile when necessary, that would be safer too. My secret technique of survival.

Another thing, don't dress too well because after alighting from the bus, u have to walk along their road n anything can happen.

Went to a mall today nearby my place n bought cute things for my nieces/nephews and had a wonderful dinner(Rp 25000=$5). Do errand too for myself too at the mall.Have to refill my cartridges-black& white(Rp30000=$6) + colour(Rp50000=$10). As it was getting late n i am very tired, i took a taxi home which cost me Rp 9000 ($1.50). Normally, i would wait for the free shuttle bus provided by the management but not tonight. Plus, i forgot the timing for it too.

Wouldn't be going there for the next 2 months as i am going home! Plan for next 2 weeks? That is a secret!

Home sweet home

I have aldready booked my flight home, yuppie!

14 more days and i will be breathing the fresh new air of Singapore, talking singlish to the taxi driver, watching my dad sleeping(as i will be taking the late flight),playing with my dirty dog(dad said his fur is getting longer & dirtier)....

So many things that i can do & also not doing.

I can wear my mini-skirt downstair & KLKK (walk here walk there)& parade-have to wear decently in Indoneais.
So once i am back to Singapore, haha! i will dig out all my mini-skirt/short/sleeveless top/body hugging jeans/pants and wear them!

I will not have to wake up early for anyone. I can choose what i want to eat,like chicken wing (without worrying about bird flu or what), satay, Ho fan,yi mee, chicken chop, hokkien mee....

Counting down now.

我的老师不见了

我很好命,Auntie 又帮我换司机。
唉!现在这个跟我一样,静静地。
上次那个carawat的司机老兄可能会回去驾大油车了。
唉!没老师了。

司机老兄

Auntie 新的司机很健谈,教了我好多印尼话。
他是个carawat (念: 车拉wet= 外向)的人。
之前的那个,是个少言pendian(念:盆diam =内向) 的人,开车不快。

现在这个,驾惯大油车,可能难得开小车,所以开得很痛快,让我不像在置身在印尼,
有mache (念:妈这)塞车的感觉。 好几次想瞄一下车速却望不到,不敢问他,怕他待会儿以为我嫌他太慢就玩完了。他还是among (念: 阿曼= 安全)的。
老实说,也不是非常快啦! 感觉像在新加坡快速公路驰骋般,那一瞬间,仿佛回到家了。

下面是我收集的情报:
司机老兄结婚( gaoyin)了,还没有阿纳阿纳(anak anak=孩子)。
蜜月(bulanmaduk = 布兰马渡)时没去太远的地方。

听得出他很尊敬 nyun nia ( 不会写,but sounds like 娘惹)=Auntie。
一直说 nyun nia 这nyun nia那的。

他讲十句,有四,五句听不懂。不要紧,绝招出现:傻笑:“Har? Uppa?” 什么?

他就左手搔头,右手驾车地想,该怎么解释给这个菜鸟懂呢?
(切忌:绝招不可滥用。万一老兄想得入神, 举双手摸头,就sayonara 了。)

我现在知道了, 原来我从小到大,都在涂有钱人当面包酱 (kaya =有钱人)。哈!哈!好有趣哦!

下车时,告诉他如果我特辣(迟到), 叫他同骨(tunggu=等)。
他说玻璃boleh (可以)。

刚刚接到 Auntie 的电话,说今天没司机,所以停课 satu hari ( 一天),hurray! 偷得浮生半晚闲,又可写博客了。

只可惜了我这身美美的新衣,没人欣赏。(读者:臭美!)
Auntie 是我的知音,我那自由发展才华的长发, 她赞美欣赏 呢!
(读者:审美观有问题吧?)
(我:别乱乱猜 ,it is really not bad, ok?)
后来想一想,又好像不对,那天,我们在上一堂课,讲怎样用beautiful 这句话。
Aunite said “Your hair is beautiful.”
Auntie 会不会顺便借我的头发发挥呢?

面对,接受,处理,放下 - 我还是做不到

今天我哭了。
昨晚,我也哭了。好久没有哭到这么伤心了。

晚上的我,好脆弱,好脆弱。独自在异乡生活,需要克服好多哦!
正在写一篇文章,想放blog,不知怎么搞的,写呀写的,就想起妈妈了。越写越离题,越回忆起当时和她相处的时光。

然后,眼泪就缓缓而下,挡也挡不了了。
朦胧中,按着键盘,思绪去到久远前的那时。
那段我不愿回忆,又不肯忘怀的记忆。

多年以后再回想,仍然难过,伤心。
寄笔与文字,怀念依旧。
不是不堪回想,是不愿再心伤。
想记得的, 是她开心的样子,她笑得时候。
但是,痛,却是和她一起并存的字眼。
尤其是后期时,更碰到SARS 的阻扰,无法进院时时陪她,
让她独自留医,独自动手术,独自面对锯左脚的命运。

当医生打电话给我,叫我去医院时,我就预感到了。
他说,锯脚的部分无法痊愈,脚肿越来越严重。
我哭了。
好久之后,尝试平静下来,思绪着该如何转述医生的话。

永远不会忘记,当她说要出院回家时的情景,回家度过最后仅有的日子。
无法看她,知道哭红的眼睛,会让她难过。
不敢答她,知道开口,泪会落下。
带着沉重的心送她出国大,我知道,是最后一次了,不会回来了。

沮丧,放弃,是回家后,我在她脸上看到的字眼。
无论我们做什么,都换回不了她的笑脸。
她已经很勇敢了,真的。
我想,要她笑,似乎要求太多了。

如果不是不愿她来世再受苦,我早已帮她结束这种煎熬,让她早点解脱。
如果可以,就把痛苦,留给我吧,让我为她受苦,受痛,受煎熬。

回家后的几个星期,她就进入弥留状态,失去意识, 完全认不出人来。
多个晚上,我陪她至凌晨,只为让她知道,万一要走了,还有我在身边陪伴。

面对,好难。放下,更难。
我没准备好,也愿离别时间永远别到。但是,看着她痛苦的煎熬,我知道,告别的时候到了。

我不是生死官,生,不由我。死,也不由我。
无数次的祈祷,只希望冥冥中有神明能听到我的祈求,让她安静地去吧!

感恩, 妈妈往生时,我没出去。家人多数都在。
那天, 做护士的朋友,来帮妈妈洗净伤口。
那慢慢由肉色转紫,再转黑的锯口。那个我和姐姐每天都要处理的伤口。
朋友走后不久,妈妈又把排泄物排出来了。
我该知道的,时间到了。但我还是没意识到,那一刻已经悄悄来临。

整理时,感觉不对,看着她的呼吸越来越短促,我乱了。
把爸爸喊来,没到几分钟,妈妈就解脱了。

靠在她的旁边,我一遍又一遍的念经,只愿为她做最后的那一点点,送她最后一程。

多个早晨醒来之后,走到她的房间,转头进去,才发现,没法向她问安了,也没法握她的手了。
失去她,我也失去了平衡点。要过了好久以后,我终于了解到,我的妈妈,真的不在了。

至今,午夜梦徊, 还可看到妈妈,有健康的她,也有生病得她。,即使身在异乡。

一直提不起勇气写这件事,知道自己会很伤很伤心,也会掉很多很多泪。

如果你看了,也有伤心的感触, 很抱歉。我不是故意的。

我受不了诱惑



亲爱的驴子,告诉你哦!
我今天去Taman Anggrek Mall 的时候,











地,

打开钱包,
买了一件衣服。

这是我这三个礼拜的第三件衣服了。
真的,我不要买的, 都是 Matahari loh, 无端端搞什么sale, but 50%+20% discount leh…. 不买,我觉得很对不起自己耶!我受不了诱惑,就,就。。。。

我的第一件t-shirt, after 50% discount becomes Rp 15 000 ($3)
我的第二件美美的 blouse, after 50% discount becomes Rp 20 000 ($4)
我的第三件漂亮的 blouse, after 50% +20% discount becomes Rp 31 960($6) - original price is Rp 79 900 ($15)…How can I don’t buy??? I will feel guilty if I just walk away. I did tried to walk away from it for 5metres but I turned back again….sigh….sigh….

后来,去吃了一顿美味的日本餐,有虾,鸡肉,饭,miso soup, green tea plus very good service…..才Rp 51 000 leh! 又后来,搭德士回,才Rp 6500 ($1.10)….

流水账报告完毕。

原谅我,好吗?
Great Singapore Sale 时,我会尝试控制多一点的。

PS: Please write your name down so i know who you are. I will be in misery if i can't see your name.
PPS: Due to age problem & insufficient brain cells, please don't play the game of guess who i am/ 猜猜我是谁的游戏. Terima Kasih, sayang.

我最爱的……

我的生意很兴隆,有小也有老。年龄从5岁到55岁。
没错,from 5 to 55 years old. 但是,最近我炒了5岁的学生。哈!哈!没啦! 是我发现我没能力哄太小的孩子,尤其是一个被宠坏了的小孩,怕!怕!

老实说,看了这个孩子,我感谢老天我至今还是单身贵族里的成员。不敢想象,如果他是我的孩子的话,我会吐多少升的血。父母都是温和的生意人,教养孩子的工作都是佣人在做,但是宠过头了,脾气差得不得了。几堂课后,我高举白旗投降。他的学习全凭心情。唉!希望日后会改善。

Anyway, 我又离题了。 我那个55 岁的学生,是我的骄傲。
55岁了,还要学英文,又要管生意,每个月都要飞来飞去, 忙呀! 但是, 他很努力哦! 学习虽然慢,但我不介意,因为肯学呀!
早期的印尼华人都有学华语,所以,我和她都没语言代沟。又或者,我跟年纪大的人都有缘吧! 认识好多年长者,都跟他们相处得如鱼得水般融洽。呵!呵!呵!

Auntie 和我同姓, 五百年前是一家不讲,嘿!嘿!连贯籍都一样耶!一下子, 把五百年缩成两百五十年了。But, I can’t understand what she is talking! Well, daddy said Hakka also have different types, so maybe that is why.

温和的Aunite, 是我学生的阿姨。知道我教她侄女补习, 就提起勇气学习英文啰!
一个星期两次,每次都会叫司机来接送, 去她的煤气批发公司上课。
可能是以前学过儒家思想吧!招呼周到,下课后还把你送到门口,看你上车才走。

我乐意教她,因为跟她上课,是一种乐趣。 从她身上,我看到了早期华人在印尼如何生长, 如何争扎求存,如何拥有现今的身份和地位。Auntie 也告诉我98年的排华行动,她和家人如何熬了过来。

我去过几个学生家里, 遇到过好多年龄大的华人,每次和他们交谈, 我都会问他们98年是如何熬过来的。虽然事件过了很久,但他们至今都还心有余悸,声声嘱咐我出门要千万小心。

是潜意识里还思念母亲的缘故,还是对爸爸的愧疚,看到年长者,和他们对话,我都会十分有耐心,这种某名的亲切感与满足感,我找不到文字来形容,希望你懂。

万一下次我和你讲话时,我用那种温柔似水的眼光来瞄你,当心哦!我可能把你归类为Auntie/Uncle liao!

四月里水管下的蘑菇春光

昨天收到四月的email (或该叫你厕所夫人?你的爱人叫WC, so of course I should call you Mrs WC. Haha! Joking lah) , 说她家的水管漏水,打开柜子一看。妈呀!遍地是蘑菇!
(四月:哪有酱夸张! 才几片而已啦)
(我: 哎呀!文人都爱小题大做的嘛,我写几片没人看的。
要写越多越好,酱才可以提高收视率呀!)

她说蘑菇家族都长得好健硕哦!有巴掌大呢!
(四月:太夸张了啦! 才几cm而已啦,跟普通的一样大啦)
(我: 哎呀!文人都爱小题大做的嘛 ,我写几cm没人看的。
要写越大越好,酱才可以提高收视率呀!)

后来, 四月说要把蘑菇家族发扬光大,让它们传种接代,
从此快快乐乐的和她的家人,和谐共处,幸福美满,白头到老, 儿孙满堂。。。。
(四月[生气的嘟嘴]: 我没有说hor! 乱乱加麻油添酱清,我不要跟你好了。)
(我: 哎呀!文人都爱小题大做的嘛 。ok lah! You didn’t say the last paragraph. I anyhow bomb one。)

(我[小小声的]:人家酱才可以提高收视率嘛。)

懒人做菜法

我不会煮菜,但是我会偿试在同一种菜里, 搞花样。

昨天和今天轮到我做饭,刚好托人买了猪肉,就煮了这道容易煮的菜。

先把肉洗干净,然后把香菇,八角和忘了名字的香料丢进去。
再来,把黑酱油倒在一起 搅拌。完了。哈!哈!
之后, 就拿去蒸啰!我煮饭时,就顺便把肉也蒸熟了。
这是一种懒人做菜法。

如果吃不完,更好。因为猪肉蒸得越久越美味。
今天,我加了新的肉下去, 把八角捞起,放了客家梅菜下去。老实讲,滋味更好噢!

可怜我的室友要忍受我一种菜多种变化。


第一天的爱心满满八角猪肉



第二天的八角猪肉变身客家梅菜-颜色比较黑哦!仔细看还是有不同的啦!-must zoom in and see then you notice the difference.
