百万小学堂

昨晚看《百万小学堂》,里面那位平时很跩的小盆友“威力”把台湾的总面积答错了,使郑元畅没法继续闯关。那时我就料到,这位平时因为自己的学识很跩的小兄弟恐怕会受到很大的打击。不出所料,幕后花絮放出威力向郑元畅道歉的画面,接着就哭了。

那一刹那我感叹:还是哭了比较可爱啊,就是个小孩嘛。

我希望我的小孩首先能诚实地表达自己的情感。
我们经常说,某某孩子很老成——其实当人显得老成的时候,就是学会隐藏或弱化自己的情绪表达,不是大哭大笑,而是隐忍和微笑。人到了十七八岁,就应该学习老成,保护自己也照顾身边的人的感情。但十七八岁以前的孩子显得太老成,不仅有点好笑,也显得不太可爱。我喜欢憨厚的孩子,不喜欢精灵油滑的孩子。我不要满口标准答案的孩子,也不是要一板一眼的“乖孩子”,希望我的孩子能告诉我他真实的想法与感受。

我希望我的小孩能谦卑。
这也是我们所有的人都需要学习的。但是要如何教养出有信心,又谦卑有自知的孩子,这个就是大大的学问了。一个人总是张扬自己的优点、强项,不仅会让别人讨厌与嫉妒,也会让他自己过度的膨胀而学习不下新的事物。平时太张扬的人,是给自己铺了难下的台阶。

我希望我的孩子长相端正,但不要太漂亮。
长得漂亮的人,在有意识无意识之间总会有些优待的地方,也有不方便的地方——例如:漂亮的男生女生总是不能确定追求自己的人是不是只看上了自己的皮囊;在职场上,长得漂亮的人有时可能有优势,但常会被人说是因为长相而上位的(女生在这方面很吃亏),自己真正的才华反而被湮没。还有一点就是,长得漂亮的人容易被娇惯,容易觉得别人对自己的好是理所当然的。

我希望我的孩子是个善良体贴的人。
我不要孩子油嘴滑舌,也不需要他是个热情外放的人,但我希望他能从心里体贴别人的立场。

我也希望孩子聪明,但希望他不是耍小聪明。
比起讨人欢喜的小聪明,我更愿意孩子长期学习由上帝而来的真正智慧,做一个蒙主喜悦的人。

我是逃兵吗?

波兰、玉树、冰岛、曼谷
这些地方的名字多美,偏偏就遭遇了那些事儿。
对于接连不断的天灾人祸,我们既帮不到忙,又无法冷眼旁观。

最近大家都在骂政府最新的母语政策
我居然懒得去看也懒得多加评论了
不是么?讲了多少年的课题,从我在学校里开始学华文的时候,就经常为着华文低落的问题发牢骚。
发了多少年的牢骚,最后我也心灰意冷了。
骂了多少年的教育部,最后才发现要改变的不只是教育部。

在FB上大喊一下:我就是不要进MOE当老师!
招来一些评语,无非就是鼓励我进去“力挽狂澜”或去“拯救海星”。

倒像我是逃兵了。

试问,
念中文系的人,是不是注定当华文老师?
当华文老师,是不是注定受母语政策的气?
像我这样靠理想生存的人,恐怕无法在这种机制里生存下去吧?
不尊重老师、不尊重母语、不尊重教育的不只是学生,家长和上头都是这样。
天,恐怕还没挨过bond的时期就已吐血身亡了吧?
实现理想的路还有很多,我且就绕过母语教育这一条路。

向图书馆这一条道路前进,
阅读或许是新的一条路,或许是我的苟且偷安。

I want to be a librarian!

Not kidding :)

Librarianship is an underrated career. Most librarians love helping patrons solve their problems and, in the process, learning new things. Librarians may also go on shopping sprees, deciding which books and online resources to buy. They may even get to put on performances, like children’s puppet shows, and run other programs, like book discussion groups for elders. On top of it all, librarians’ work environment is usually pleasant and the work hours reasonable, although you may have to work nights and/or weekends

The job market for special librarians (see below) is good but is sluggish for public and school librarians. Nevertheless, persistent sleuthing—that key attribute of librarians—should enable good candidates to prevail.

That effort to land a job will be well worth it if you’re well suited to the profession: love the idea of helping people dig up information, are committed to being objective—helping people gain multiple perspectives on issues—and will remain inspired by the awareness that librarians are among our society’s most empowering people.

2013.1.4

2013年1月4日,据说会成为有史以来最受欢迎的结婚日期,因为是“201314-爱你一生一世”!

我想……我已经找到我想嫁的他,可是不知道我有没有资格做贤妻良母~

要什么时候,才会预备好自己,和他“一生一世”相爱、携手到老呢?

要知道,爱一个人,是个决定。嫁一个人,是个终生的决定。

因为爱他,所以不能仓促,也不能随随便便过日子。

因为爱他,所以想给他自己所能给他的最好的生活。

像我这样爱偷懒、脾气别扭的女子,真的有资格做人家的妻子吗?

我究竟什么时候能成为一个更好的人?

所以,“爱你一生一世”,其实也是“一生一世学习爱你”!

499th post: For a fancy

As I was going through the introduction to Adobe Flash, I can’t help but wonder what it’ll be like to build a portfolio site for myself. It’ll probably be useless, seeing how I’m not someone who is going to work in the creative industry. The thought, however, is intriguing.

I used to build websites – fansites, archive sites of my own stuff, etc. Too bad they were all rubbish. I remembered some of those were quite pretty. I don’t think my aesthetic sensibilities would have tolerated sloppy pages built in a Microsoft application.

Ah to have the time… for a fancy….

倒数

2009年就快结束了啊……
时间过得还真的不是一般的快。
忽然发现,我大学本科生的生涯也快结束了。(虽然要比别的同学迟一个学期……)

大学的这四年,我想,我可以坦然地说,
我没有浪费。
不一定所有的空档都塞满,不一定所有的时间都有善用,
可是我有爱、有泪、有成长,
发现了自己更多更多,知道自己喜欢什么、不喜欢什么。
我想,也就够多了吧?

接下来的路……该怎么走?
毕业了,念硕士。
念完了硕士,做什么?
工作?念博士?结婚?
工作了结婚?念博士了工作?工作了结婚再念博士?
到底要不要念博士?到底要不要走学术这条路?

说实在的,我已经不记得有没有如此迷惘过……

我只知道,我的人生,
不应当在倒数日子中度过。

Me and my weird dreams

I slept at the wrong end of my bed and had weird dreams again =p

It’s more than 8 hours since the dream so I certainly can’t recall much of it. But bits I do remember involve me getting married very unprepared. Dear and I were standing in front of the altar dressed in our usual clothes (and not the suit and gown stuff) – then we were like, “Oops!” and ran off to change.

It’s not the first time that I dreamed about my own wedding (oops, does it say a lot about what I often think about? =p) This time round it is funnier and more light-hearted than the ones I used to have.

One of the earliest “wedding dreams” that I can remember also involve myself getting married unprepared – I was dressed alright, but the church sanctuary was not prepared for the wedding and things and people were all over the place. My groom was unprepared for the wedding and he disappeared shortly into the dream. I remembered that I was crying in my dreams to a group of sisters. He reappeared when I was sitting on the first row of the church benches and looked at me meaningfully. Dream ended.

Another one I had not too long ago had only myself in the dream. I was running all over the place looking for my groom. My dress was very simple and there were people commenting on what I was wearing. I smiled and laughed it off and continued to try to find my groom in the hotel. Can’t remember how the dream ended but I remembered that it was pretty cold when I woke up.

On another occasion I also dreamed that I was heading off for somebody’s wedding and it turned out that dear was getting married – to someone else. And then I was very sad when I woke up =(

I think my dreams are pretty intriguing.

And no, dear, please don’t read too much into this =p Any questions please refer to hotline 9xxxx252. :)
