小林の翱翔 Going Places

20來歲時, 在旅行社覓得一職, 開始了一段飛行的歲月, 也豐富了自己見聞。 Sound Glamourous, HUH? 也符合了我當時炫燿表現式的心態。 那個時後正值馬來西亞政府開放國民到中國旅游, 當時中國的陪同喜歡在姓氏前冠上個"小"字以示謙卑。 所以"小林"這個暱稱由此而來。

赌歌（粤语）

赌啊，累死人啊，害死人啊，要走人。
再赌，正傻佬，乜都无，要走佬。
戒赌，叻过人，醒过人，聪明人。
Ooooooooooooh， YES。

Vincent (Starry Starry Night)

The Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh

Starry starry night, paint your palette blue and grey.

Look out on a summer's day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.

Shadows on the hills, sketch the trees and the daffodils.

Catch the breeze and the winter chills, in colors on the snowy linen land.

Now I understand what you tried to say to me.

How you suffered for you sanity.

How you tried to set them free.

They would not listen they did not know how, perhaps they'll listen now.

Starry starry night, flaming flowers that brightly blaze.

Swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.

Colours changing hue, morning fields of amber grain.

Weathered faces lined in pain are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.

Chorus:

For they could not love you, but still your love was true.

And when no hope was left in sight,on that starry starry night.

You took your life as lovers often do,

But I could have told you, Vincent,

This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.

Starry, starry night, portraits hung in empty halls.

Frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can't forget.

Like the stranger that you've met, the ragged man in ragged clothes.

The silver thorn of bloody rose, lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

Now I think I know what you tried to say to me.

How you suffered for you sanity.

How you tried to set them free.

They would not listen, they're not listening still, Perhaps they never will......

我久久也会去唱K, 不, 应该说去听K。这话怎么说呢, 因为现在所流行的Pop Song我都不会唱。要嘛, 就听别人唱。要嘛, 就听原唱的版本。就像观看MV这样。前一阵子上K时点播了这首Vincent。由香港歌手Theresa CARPIO演唱, 港乐团伴奏的版本。当音乐一起, 我的思绪开始随着熟悉的旋律顺着时间的河慢慢的回到从前。。。 Starry starry night, paint your palette blue and grey. Look out on a summer's day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul。。。Vincent在1971年被Don Mclean唱到街知巷闻。当时年纪还小的我也喜欢这首歌, 就喜欢这种朴实音乐, 很那种unplugged的纯粹感觉。( 原来年纪小小的我就已经懒"HIGH"了 )。当Theresa唱到这句This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you。刹那间, 我深深感到歌词唱的是那么的熟悉, 仿佛就是在诉说某个人的故事。 但是这个Vincent是谁?? 这件事令我耿耿於怀。 之后有一次在网上我用Vincent google了一下。 结果我愣了。原来我一直喜欢的这首歌, Vincent诉说的就是Van Gogh的故事。 而Starry Night就Vincent Van Gogh临终前13个月的一幅作品。
当初因为一篇新闻报道, 知悉有一幅名为太阳花的名画拍卖。 得到媒体关注只因拍卖的价格破天荒的高。那个时候, 我认识了Van Gogh。
后来从一热爱美术的朋友国富那儿得知, Vincent Van Gogh流离颠簸的一生。他疯狂的热情, 越轨的思想, 在那个被视为禁忌的年代, 在不被了解的情况下, 时不予我, 他选择了自我结束生命。
今时今日Vincent Van Gogh的作品被well-regard as one of the greatest and most famous artists, ever。。。。。。
如果Vincent Van Gogh生在今天, 不晓得又会有怎么样的际遇?
生不逢时的心情, 谁又能够体谅?
從沒想過這兩者之間的關係原來是互相牽連的。這次的發現似乎有點兒后知后覺。。。

P/S, 梵古的另一作品

Cafe Terrace at Night也是我喜爱的。

Joke of the YEAR

马来西亚的政局自从308变天之后，出现了前所未有的乱象。有人说那是进入民主的前奏，事实与否见仁见智。不过倒是受到一些讽刺目前政局的电邮和短信，令人看了不经莞尔。

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

有一电邮写道： A little boy wanted RM100 badly and prayed for two weeks, but nothing happened. Then he decided to write to GOD a letter requesting the RM100. When Pos Malaysia received the letter addressed to GOD, they decided to send it to the Prime Minister - Pak Lah. The PM was so impressed, touched, and amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a RM5.00bill. Pak Lah thought this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy. The little boy was delighted when he received the RM5.00 and sat down to write a thank you note to GOD: 'Dear GOD, Thank you very much for sending the money to me. However, I noticed that for some reason you had to send it through PutraJaya and, as usual, those bastards took away RM95.00.'

更有一个搞笑的短信如是写道：

Get Vietnamese worker, DOGS missing;

Get Bangla worker, MALAY GIRLS missing;

Get China maid, HUSBANDS missing;

Call the Police, EVIDENCE missing;

Call the Witness, whole FAMILY missing;

Found Medical report, DOCTOR missing;

Government changed, FUNDS & DOCUMENTS missing;

Choose AMWAR as PM, Tun MA missing;

Forward this SMS, tomorrow U missing.

说真的，虽然发生了如此多，但是我还是把他们当着个别事件来看，凡事都有正反两面，不能一概而论。对于马来西亚，我还是乐观的。你说呢？

Dari Pendatang ke Penumpang。。。

不知道为什么从国外，无论自愿的，或被强迫的，或被诱骗移居马来西亚的国民，虽然已经第三代了，早一阵子还会被人说成是外来者 Pendatang，现又被标签外寄居者 Penumpang。真他妈的丈八金刚摸不着他的头脑。你说呢？
