There is a grape garden of truth in the grounds of SMK Batu Lintang. Though smaller than its garden peers, it has its own beauty and charm. Padded with eccentric purple leaves and earnest gray pebbles, it brings forth a mysterious atmosphere, a gush of the unknown. The garden welcomes all to approach its teal coloured stone steps which reminds one of floating lily pads in a crystal clear lake. Taking a glance, one can feel a tickle of childhood and nostalgia from the boldly coloured rocks which were laid throughout the piece of land, united together to complement the uniqueness of one another. It piques your interest to know what little tales these stones hold on to. With a sudden turn, one’s gaze is met up with the fabled grape plant, as its dainty vines stretch towards the endless sky, hoping for its chance to reach the clouds. A barrier of motivational prompted bookmarks surrounds the growth, filling one’s spirit with the warmth of determination. When one rests his eyes on such a scene, one’s heart can’t help but flutters with a new spring of wondrous hope, slowly becoming eager to reach out for his dreams just like the vines of that grape plant. The Great Grape Garden L e a n n e Wo n g | 4 J u j u r You Will be Fine Ku Yi n L i n | 6 S e m . 3 S S 2 I am alone, Only because that I am not well-known, Things are forever and ever unknown, Everytime I could only nod. As I am new in the town, I couldn't sleep safe and sound, Suddenly I imagine the ball which I bounced, And then out I go. I see the sky that I like, Only that I can feel alive, I started to think about life, That's all about light. I finally feel fine, That I see the sunshine, There's no more self-dislike, That I believe everything will be fine. Greed N a t a l i e J a s l y n n J e e X u a n | 5 S e ti a In an ever growing society, Where money is placed on top with priority. Humans love power, For all it shall devour. One may start out naive, But soon greed shall perceive Intentions as pure as the first snow, May one day start to stray. As the taste of it becomes sweeter, The yearn for it is greater. Not all power is good, But all power has those who fear. As one ascends, Not all will follow. Left in the dust, Cold and unjust. segmen bahasa Inggeris
"Enjoy your youth because one day it'll slip through your fingertips without you realising." I have had this mindset ever since the pandemic started and made me lose out on an experience that is primary 6, the senior year of primary school. I missed out on many things such as attending primary school graduation and taking part in the UPSR exam. Now I'm 14 and I still regret not enjoying my last year in primary school to the fullest. This year, my younger brother, Angelo is in primary 6 and I do hope he enjoys it to the fullest because I didn't. UPSR was abolished so he can relax a bit more to enjoy the year which is nice. He can go to school again and meet up with his friends. He has the opportunity to experience something I couldn't. I'm happy for him but can't help thinking I am wasting my time as a youth now in secondary school. I haven't really done anything I'd consider memorable or beneficial to myself. I've gotten some rewards from joining some competitions but I'm still not satisfied. "Am I asking for too much?" I'd think to myself. I have not found any activities that spark my interest like my primary school gave me. Maybe it's something that comes with growing up but how did everything change so much in three years? If my 12-year-old self were to meet the current 14-year-old me now, she wouldn't recognise me one bit. My looks would be recognisable but my mindset would be a stranger to her. Typing this whole thing out was quite difficult for me since putting things into words really isn't something I'm good with. These few years have been a difficult challenge for me mentally. I've been feeling drained, tired and stressed over such little problems. I'd be lying if I were to say I'm doing better, I'm still going through the motions of youth and figuring it all out. I hope those reading this would be able to relate to some instances of it and maybe, just maybe feel better knowing that you're not the only one feeling like this. Enjoy Your Youth E l e a n o r R o s e | 2 M e s r a Life, A Blessing In Disguise T h a r s n i T h a s h a C h a n d e r a n | 4 J u j u r “Ringgg!!!” my alarm clock went off at 5 a.m. Then, my mom came banging on the door. “Wake up!! It’s time to go to school. You’ll be late!” I sighed. Waking up in the morning makes me feel lethargic the whole day. I don’t have any purpose or goals in life so it got me thinking, “Why am I doing this?”, “Who am I doing this for?” The only reason I can think of is to make my parents proud. Every day, I would study hard and attend tuition classes in the hope of getting good grades. However, I don’t feel joy in it. I started to feel restless thinking about my future. “Am I worthy to do such jobs? I'm not even interested in anything.” I just want a peaceful life with my pets.” These thoughts went running through my head all day long. Such cliché thoughts huh? Here comes the weekend and we’re off visiting my grandparents. I always look forward to visiting grandma every weekend because she understands me more than my parents do. Out of nowhere, she started asking me, “Have you decided on your career path?” “No.” I sighed again. She told me to think about my future carefully and gave me multiple pieces of advice.
I have always dreamed of being able to be invisible, so this would be the superpower that I would want. First, I would want to have the superpower of invisibility because I could travel anywhere I want for free. I would not need to buy a plane ticket or pay for the bus fee. I could just simply go onboard and sit in an area where nobody would bother me. This would come in handy if I wanted to travel to somewhere far away that costs a lot of money, like China. I could go to the most amazing places in the world and no one would bother me or prevent me from going. Second, if I were invisible, I would be able to know a true friend. I have met many people whom I thought were good people, but behind closed doors, they ended up being not so kind. Being able to spy on people would prevent me from making bad friends, even though I will feel a little guilty doing this. This would save me a lot of time and heartache because then, I could know who a good person is. Third, I would want to be invisible because then I could help many people. I could help police officers catch criminals because the criminals could not see me so I could stop them easily. It would be a big surprise to them because they would not see me coming. I think it is important to contribute to society so I would want to help the world. All in all, if I were given one superpower, I would want to be invisible. This is because I would be able to travel for free. Also, I would be able to tell the difference between a good and bad friend and I would be able to help catch criminals. “Don’t blame your parents for being strict with you. I’m sure your parents just want to see you succeed and get a stable career to support yourself in the future when they’re not around. Now listen, do you think good things come easy?” “No.” I replied. “It’s fine to take breaks now and then while working hard as long as you get hold of what you’re doing. It might seem like a stressful situation for you right now but trust me, your future will be brighter.” I had a hard time understanding what grandma was trying to convey to me thus it lingered in my mind. These past few months, I’ve been exploring various activities to find my interest. I finally found out that I enjoy treating animals and caring for them. Hence, I decided to take a veterinary course at university after graduating from high school last week. I could get into the most prestigious university in my country. I was bewildered. Classes began yesterday and I realised that everyone was struggling and weren’t doing as well as I thought. I was perplexed, flustered in mind. Grandma’s advice started popping into my head. “Ahh, this is what she meant when she said my situation holds the possibility of something good in the future,” I thought. I was moved to tears and started feeling remorseful but grateful at the same time to my parents for pushing me. As always, grandma’s advice never failed to convince me. I’ve always thought life is full of hardships and couldn’t see the brighter side of this world until I realised that everything that happens depends on my actions in the present. However, we can't find happiness if we don't strive and explore. This world is full of endless surprises and it amazes me every time. This is when I started to look at this world in a different light. Indisputably, life is a blessing in disguise! I v a n Ku e h | 2 M e s r a If You Could Have A Superpower, What Would It Be And Why?
I felt lightheaded. Everything was starting to go dark. That was the last thing I remembered before collapsing to the ground. I began to regain my conscience when I felt pain in my hands and feet. I looked down to see what happened and saw that they were tied up really tightly. It was already starting to get really numb. What exactly happened? All of a sudden, I heard heavy footsteps moving in my direction. I got so excited thinking help was coming, but instead, a huge man came through that door. “She’s awake,” said the man. It was clear he was not here to save me as he proceeded to drag me out of the room by my tied-up hands. The wooden floorboards were just painfully digging into my skin. I still have scars on my legs because of that. They placed me on a chair and untied me. I was honestly shocked that my hands and feet weren’t dead yet. They slammed a plate of mouldy food in front of me. “You better finish it, you hear me!” ordered the shorter guy. Scared for my life, I finished every last bit of it. That night, my stomach started to hurt so badly that I vomited. I was exhausted, I was slowly losing all hope. I didn’t know what to do. That was when I noticed that the front door was open. I took my chances and just dashed out. “If I end up getting caught, at least I tried”, I thought to myself. I ran as fast as I could to the nearest house I saw. “Help! Please help me!” I begged. Thankfully this nice lady let me in. She immediately called the police and ambulance; she didn’t need to ask to know what happened. The police and ambulance came soon after. They caught the kidnappers and I was brought to the hospital. I guess when there is life, there is hope, It is often said that online learning is fun. Students can easily access online classes through their devices connected to the Internet. Here are a few reasons why online learning is fun and simple. First and foremost, online learning costs less than physical learning. To illustrate, physical learning needs textbooks, school supplies and classrooms. However, online learning just needs a device that we already own. Thus, submitting assignments online to our teachers is much easier rather than sending physically. Second, online learning saves our precious time. attending classes physically would take time for one to leave and arrive at school. Whereas for learning online, we can easily get started right away after class is over. So, we can finish homework right from the comfort of our own home. Third, recording our online classes is very useful. After physical classes are over, we probably have already forgotten what our teacher had said but online learning allows us to record our classes in which we can watch and listen over and over again. Effortless, isn’t it? In addition, online learning is fun as our teachers love to create fun quizzes for us. Online quizzes are more interactive to students than the physical quiz or tests on a piece of paper. Last but not least, online learning doesn't require us to dress up and look neat in those uncomfortable uniforms. We can conveniently enter our online classes in our pajamas or comfortable clothes at home. In conclusion, online learning is a fun and convenient way of learning and should co-exist with physical learning.

Everyone has an aim in life. Even if they don't think they do, they always have something they want to achieve. Be it as little as walking up and talking to their crush, passing their tests with flying colours or even as trivial as getting somewhere just in time. But for me? My aim in life is to find someone for me to share my life with. To be honest, it may sound a bit silly for someone my age but I want someone I can share the good times and bad times with, someone who will always be there for me. I enjoy spoiling people I love. I like to buy my friends gifts and see their satisfied faces. I'd like to do that but with someone who'd do the same with me. The thought of it makes me feel really euphoric. Though it may sound a bit goofy, it's truly my aim in life to make someone happy because the thought of it makes me happy. Lastly, to those who currently yearn the same as me, time will tell when you'll find someone or something that will give you the sense of euphoria. Be it the person who you will spend the rest of your life with or a pet or even a hobby. It takes time to find all of these and trust me when I say it's worth the wait. Good things come to those who are patient. We all know the story of the fearsome and powerful battleship called the Yamato, but did you know that the Yamato had two other sister ships? One of these warships was the Musashi. The name Musashi was from a former Japanese province called the Musashi Province. There was also a person who shared the Musashi family name, and that person was Miyamoto Musashi who was a philosopher. Historically, the Musashi was built for the Imperial Japanese Army (IJN). The Musashi was laid down on 29th March 1938 and was launched on 1st November 1940. Musashi was very similar to her sister ship the Yamato. Although unlike her sister ship, she was commissioned a year later after the Yamato, at Nagasaki. After her commission, Musashi was assigned to the 1st Battleship Division together with Yamato, Nagato and Mutsu. Five days later, the ship conducted machinery and aircraft-handling trials near Hashirajima which is an island in southern Hiroshima Bay of the inland sea. For a year, the ship was only used for training exercises near the island. Later, Musashi was assigned to the “Combined Fleet”, commanded by Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, on 15th January 1943. In 1944, Musashi was based at Brunei and was in port until 24th October 1944, where Musashi left for the “Battle of Leyte Gulf”, where she would meet her fate and was sunk by an air attack. The next Yamato-class warship was a Japanese aircraft carrier called Shinano. The name Shinano also came from a Japanese province, called Shinano Province. Even though Shinano was given the Yamato-class warship title, she couldn’t be called a “sister ship” to Yamato and Musashi. This is because Shinano was an aircraft carrier unlike the rest of the Yamato-class. It would be wise to call Shinano a half-sister ship to Yamato and Musashi. Shinano was an aircraft carrier, even when it was originally planned to be a battleship like her half-sister ships was because of the disastrous loss of four original six fleet carriers at Battle of Midway in mid-1942 and the Imperial E l e a n o r R o s e | 2 M e s r a My Aim in Life N a t h a n a e l S t a n i s l a u s | 2 M e s r a The Two Other Yamato-Class Ships
I believe in the saying, “There is rainbow after the rain ” because one day I was kicked out of the choir group and the next I was asked to join the debate team. That was what made me believe in the saying in the first place. I know it’s silly of me to hope, but to me hope has kept me alive and thinking in this world. That hope may not have been much but at least it was there. As an example, a friend of mine has always roped me into doing bad things and we would always have disagreements with each other’s ways. There was once, she got really angry at me for making new friends and because of that, I left her. I thought, “This will be better for me,” and it was, it still is. Leaving her gave me time and space to think about how toxic she was and how manipulative she could be. She now has more friends like herself, I’m glad she does but I really hope that one day she will change for the better. A few months back, my parents had argued a lot and my mom got sick of hearing all the lies my dad had to tell. She just packed her bags and brought me along with her and we got out of the house. It was a really long time until we got back to the house, it honestly felt almost like a vacation. Although I didn’t like the fact that my parents were fighting, at least I got to rest from all the hoarding house chores and my ears didn’t have to suffer from the shouts of my parents. Every day, I had hoped it would be different. I hope the chores will be done when I’m awake, I hope I don't have to go to school. I hope my crush would like me back. But those were just silly hopes and in the end, I could only hope, still. No matter what others say, I will always know that every bad situation, every bad thing, every bad day, no matter how they will always end with something good even if it’s the smallest thing. For example, a mother could die while giving birth to a baby. The baby will go on to live her legacy, the baby who will grow up and have the features of his mother. Other than that, someone you love or literally anyone could get into an accident and someone will be kind enough to start a fundraiser to help pay for the victim's hospital bills or their physical therapy. There are so many possibilities that things would go wrong and bad, but there is always a small part of good in it. I truly believe there is rainbow after the rain. A d ri a n a Ka r y n n a | 4 J u j u r There Is Rainbow After The Rain Japanese Army (IJN) needed more aircraft carriers. Shinano was first laid down on the 4th of May 1940 and was eventually launched on the 8th of October 1944. Her conversion to an aircraft carrier was still not finished in November 1944 when she was ordered to sail from the Yokosuka Naval Arsenal to Kure Naval Base to complete fitting out and be commissioned to transfer a load of 50 Yokosuka MXY7 Ohka rocket-propelled kamikaze flying bombs. She sadly met her fate as she was sunk en route, 10 days after commissioning, on 29th November 1944, by four torpedoes from the U.S Navy submarine Archerfish. Over a thousand sailors and civilians were rescued and 1,435 were lost, including her captain. Shinano remains to be the largest warship ever sunk by a submarine. These wonderful ships may have been built by ruthless people who had invaded our land, and done terrible things to us, but that will not stop me from appreciating these wonderful creations made from 1940s technology. We have progressed from the past to the modern age. Without war and conflict, we would never advance this far after 80 years.
Among all the celebrations that I celebrate, I enjoy celebrating Christmas the most. I celebrate it every year without fail. My family and I usually prepare for Christmas as early as November. We shop for gifts and start planning how we are going to decorate the house. Every year, Christians all over the world celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December. My family usually celebrates it from the 24th to 31st of December. Christmas is celebrated in remembrance of Jesus Christ’s birth centuries ago in Bethlehem. During the season, cousins, relatives and other family members from all parts of Malaysia gather to celebrate this celebration. On Christmas Eve, we bake cookies, cakes and all kinds of desserts for the big day. Cleaning and cooking are normally done on Christmas Eve. On Christmas Day, we usually attend Christmas service at church in the morning and go caroling at night. We also visit family and friends, open gifts and have a good time together. I spend Christmas Eve afternoon at my paternal grandparents’ house in Padawan. Christmas Day is always spent at my maternal grandparents’ place in Serian. Christmas is such a jolly celebration that never fails to make me enraptured and cheerful. The colourful and bright decorations as well as the sweet melodies played just add to my excitement. I love celebrating Christmas. It is truly my favourite time of the year and it always will be. I hope that Christmas will always be as amazing as it is. Darkest Hour Is Just Before The Dawn A ri e l E l m e r R i n g g i e a n a k M i c h a e l | 5 C e k a p Life is full of surprises. For example, having to move to a completely different environment, a foreign place filled with uncertainties. I have experienced this, and it wasn't a great experience. My old hometown was the place where many of my precious childhood memories were made. My old swing set, the beautiful park near my home and not to mention my childhood friends. It was perfect, and I wished it would stay that way.Unfortunately, good things will come to pass, and the bad ones will come. It was my 14th birthday when the police knocked on the door. The news they brought made me pale as the moon, and sweat perspired all over my body. My parents died in a car accident. I felt deep regret. I had a fight with them over a small complication for my birthday party and they had to rush out to fix it. Imagine your birthday party quickly becoming a funeral. I was legally still a child when I became an orphan, so my nearby relatives became my official guardians. Unfortunately, they lived in another country and I had no choice but to leave my precious hometown. The autumn leaves falling, making trees barren without their lush colours, a frigid wind blowing making a mess filled with fallen leaves, tree branches, and sadness, and finally, a ‘For Sale’ sign was put out in front of my home. Those are the last things I saw before leaving for a different place. Things got even worse as the house my relatives lived in wasn't exactly as welcoming as a thought. It was a manor, like the ones from a vampire movie. Not too surprising since I moved to Europe. The manor was dark and eerie, which I did not like one bit. My relatives, on the other hand, were bright and cheery, and always making jokes. That was not really the appropriate feeling when you're taking care of a child whose parents just died. I guess they couldn't read the room. Literally. My Favourite Celebration C h a rl e e n T a m b u r a n a k P a tri c k | 2 M e s r a
“Wake up Maya, quick wake up… We have to go now.” I heard a faint feminine voice, disturbing my sleep. I slowly opened my eyes only to see someone shaking me. It was my mother. “What’s wrong, mum?” I said softly. “We have to go now. They’ve found us.” She whispered. Her reply sent shivers down my spine. I never thought that they would find us so fast. It had only been a little over 30 days since we last encountered them. “Come on, don't just sit there, time is running out.” She sounded frightened and annoyed. Questions after questions flowing through my mind. "Did she see them? How did they know we were here? Are they really close by? Why did this have to happen to me…" I quickly got out of bed and started packing my bags. I knew we didn’t have much time so I had to leave some stuff behind. This has been happening constantly for almost a year now. After my father died in one of their soldiers’ hands, it has always been me and my mum. We thought we had more time this time as the place we chose was much further away from the cities. However, sometimes things just don’t go the way that we want them to. “We’re not coming back here again. Have you gotten everything you need? ” My mum reminded me as she stood in front of the door waiting for me. I walked around the little room we stayed in, checking out all the things I would need while keeping my bag as light as possible. Although the time we spent here was only a short 1 month period, it still gave me a sense of home and safety. I remembered the good old days, before war broke out. We were happy and fulfilled as a family of three. Running or hiding wasn’t a priority in our mind. “BANG!” Gunshots. They were near. We had to leave immediately. Before we headed out, I caught a glimpse of the clock. It was only 4 a.m when we left. We successfully fled to a nearby town, if it could even be called a town anymore. Most of the The school wasn't great either. The students there called me ‘The American’, ‘Weirdo’ as well as ‘Twat’. The last one sounds like an insult, but why bother. This ‘American’ got a perfect grade for all the examinations. With that, I started to make new friends. They were awkward at first, but we got along eventually. I even got a partner who loves me dearly. Loyalty is my cup of tea, and that's why I decided to be her partner. One day, my relatives came over to my room to ask me how I was doing. Then they gave me a present. When I opened it, I saw the old teddy bear that I loved. My relatives modified the teddy bear to have a special feature. When I asked what it was, they told me to press the snout of the toy. “We love you.” That was the special feature the teddy bear received. A special recording of something I would never hear again. A tear ran down my face cheek, a sentimental feeling came over me as the voice of my parents played. My relatives hugged me for comfort. A bittersweet feeling, it was. All I could think of was the song, ‘Wish You Were Here’, by Avril Lavigne. Europe has been a roller coaster of a ride. Even without my parents, I knew they loved me till the end. I had lost friends and gained new ones. My partner from high school eventually became my spouse. i experienced Many emotions ranging from happiness to sadness to gladness here. And so, I have found the best out of my sad predicament and experienced it fully. I guess the darkest hour is just before dawn. Reunited C h i e w Yi h C h u n | 3 J u j u r
buildings were abandoned and destroyed, probably by bombs. We decided to take coverage in a small convenient store for the night, as we wanted to stock up on our food supply. Although we were already far enough to be safe, we could still feel the tension flowing in the air. Both of us did not dare to make any sound. If only my father was still here. He was always the one to clear the air, telling jokes and making us laugh even in a life or death situation. Eventually, we did find a safe spot on the second floor of the convenient store. We could finally let our guards down. “Maya, please rest if you want to. We should be safe here,” my mum said, looking quite worried. “It’s okay, mum. I’m fine. We’ll both be fine.” I reassured her. Everything seemed to have died down. There were no signs of footsteps or gunshots anymore. Nevertheless, we still had to leave the town to a more rural area. It was just a wiser choice to move to somewhere where less people are expected to be at. Once again, we packed our stuff and left the temporary ‘home’, only this time we weren’t as anxious as the last. Never would we have ever thought that the soldiers would be right around the corner. It was almost 7 by then, we were almost out of town, when suddenly two soldiers spotted us. My mum instantly grabbed my hand and ran, while the two soldiers chased after us. I felt a rush of adrenaline as I knew if we were to get caught, it would be the end. We ran into the first building that looked the most promising. There was no going back now. The soldiers knew where we were. The only place we could hide was in a closet. “Stay here, Maya. I’m going out,” my mother abruptly said. “What? No, mum. You can’t go now. What if you-” my mum covered my mouth, stopping me to say another word. “This is the only way for you to have a chance of getting out of this!” with that she left. I was in disbelief, pinching myself to prevent myself from crying. I heard my mum walking out. She tried to reason with the soldiers but it was no use. I kept hearing her repeating some words but they were mostly inaudible from where I was. “Bang!” Without any notice, another bullet was fired and silence followed. My heart sank. I knew it. I knew she shouldn’t have risked it. I knew I shouldn't have let my mother go so easily. But it was too late. I was biting myself, with all my might, trying to prevent myself from crying, but tears kept falling anyways. How am I going to survive without my parents? My heart was aching with grief. Why does this have to happen to me? I heard footsteps again. Are they not leaving? Do they know that I’m here? My heart was pounding at that point. It felt as if it was going to jump out of my chest. They got closer and closer. I could hear their footsteps getting louder. Could this be my end too? I’ve always hated the feeling of despair, yet here it is. The closet door opened very slowly, revealing to them a little child crying her eyes out. But they couldn’t care less, could they? They pointed the gun right in her face. Blank. A white light shone, leading up to our old house. I thought I was hallucinating, but there they were—my father and mother. They were standing in front of the gates, waiting for me. I felt a sudden sense of relief, making me cry out loud. I ran to them, hugging them very tightly. I never wanted to let go again. “You made it. We‘re so proud of you.” My father looked at me smiling. We were finally reunited.
Every Cloud Has Its Silver Lining I s a a c P o h Yi C h e n g | 5 S e ti a 'Every cloud has a silver lining.' What does this even imply? What does it portray? These questions have been living in my head rent-free for years. The vivid image of Aunt Cassie on her deathbed, her final words to me being 'Every cloud has a silver lining. Hope, have faith.' I can still hear the resonating beep of the flatline. Ten years later, I am working in a McDonald's living off minimum wage. Mum drank all our money away after Dad left to 'cope', she said. It's just me and her now. Aunt Cassie's words resonated throughout my brain like the buzzing of a mosquito, taunting, annoying. For years I have been grasping at straws trying to find this out-of-reach hope. Everything just feels like a cruel joke Nervous, excitement, hopeful, were the emotions I gripped tightly in my hands whilst holding my file, a thick blue file consisting of my documents. Making my way through the unfamiliar school building, for the first time, I took a good look at the place I was soon to spend five years of my adolescence life in. I wondered what kind of friends would I make? What would my highschool life have in store for me? I stopped in my tracks. I had found my destination, the school hall. I felt the grip on my file tighten, a sight to behold, hundreds of parents, teachers and students were gathered in that hall. Still in awe, I took a step forward, ready to embrace the next five years here. Two years I have spent going to classes in the afternoons and going home in the evenings. I remember the time my friends and I ended school later than the usual 6:10 p.m. The aftertaste memory of the gentle heat from the golden hour sunlight touched my face as I walked to the school gate with a few of my closest friends. The bags we carried felt heavy, overflowing with books, but in that moment, within the echoes of our laughter throughout the school building, our hearts were the lightest. We would always expect good times to end, but never which turn would it take. That was when Covid-19 struck everyone and everywhere, what was once a new school year 2020 filled with anticipation, turned into two years of confinement and helplessness. I could never put to words what I felt when we were united back in school two years after the pandemic. I missed the interaction I had with everyone. The school building remained the same as it was two years back, but the people had changed so much. Appearances aside, there were others that gained many interesting traits and habits, but I’m glad that the laughter my friends and I shared together never lost the light-heartedness and innocence. I stood by the exit of the school hall, my blue file in my hands, but this time, with a short slip of paper that wrote “Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia”. Five years had passed since the day I took that step into high-school life. For the last time, I took a good look around the place I spent five years of my life in, except now, there were traces of shadows that belonged to me and my friends at every corner of the building. Everything passed so quickly, as if it were a daydream that happened in class. Taking a step out of the school hall, I wondered, who else would I meet? What’s coming next?

the world is playing on me. Switching off the frying tubs, I ended my Wednesday shift. Walking outside breathing in the cold air, feeling the cool asphalt underneath my feet, cigarette between my fingers. Every puff seemed to soothe the roaring flames in my gut, making it docile. I took my usual route down Huckleberry Street and froze. Directly opposite was a 7-11, and inside were two masked men robbing it, one with a gun. My fight or flight response kicked in, and of course my teenage instincts chose to yell, "Hey! Leave him alone!" "Bang!" My legs turned to jelly as I whipped around and booked it. 'He just shot at me!' I thought to myself as the severity of the situation hit me. 'You idiot! What the hell were you thinking?!' I looked back realising they had no interest in me. One was still rifling through the money tray and the other holding a petrified cashier at gunpoint. I pulled out my phone and punched in 911. "911, what's your emergency?" "There are two armed men robbing the 7-11 down Huckleberry Street! Please hurry!" "Stay put, we're sending officers over." I sat panting at the corner of the street, dishevelled, scared and alone. I looked up at the night sky. Funny how you couldn't see stars in the bright city. Where's the silver lining? All I could see was a depressing blanket of endless void. Hands still shaking, I lit a cigarette and punched in Mum's number. One ring, two, three. I counted seven more rings before conceding to the fact that she's probably off having a good time at the pub again. 'Alcoholic hag.' I mumbled aloud. In the distance came the sound of police sirens, but the robbers were long gone by now. The cashier was visibly shaken up, but no harm was done. They were taking statements. One more puff. With a soft hiss, I extinguished the cigarette on the sidewalk and stood up wanting to go give my statement when I felt a firm grip on my shoulder. "Hope?" Whipping my head around, I saw him, standing ever so gloriously in his deep blue uniform, a face I hadn't seen in six years. All the emotions I'd bottled up erupted and hit me like an uppercut to the gut. "Dad?" And I was hitting and kicking him, bawling my eyes out. "Where have you been?! How dare you call my name after you left us like that, you selfish bastard!" He gripped my shoulders and our eyes met. His like deep wells overflowing. The piercing shade of blue I so clearly remember. "Let's walk." Walking with him felt unnatural. I lit a cigarette and saw a momentary look of disapproval flash across his face but he never said anything. "So are you going to explain to me why you left us like that or what?" I demanded, still furious. He took a deep breath, and started telling me with his calm magnetic voice how when times were difficult, mum was abusive towards him. How he was ashamed and guilty that he wasn't providing enough for our family. "Will you ever forgive me?" He asked while staring deep into my eyes, a pleading, helpless expression on his face. I buried my face in his chest and cried, the longing for affection outweighing my rage and anguish. It's been a few months since. Dad just dropped me off for my first day at the police academy. Mum is sober and all is well. I guess Aunt Cassie was right. Every cloud does have its silver lining. Guess it just takes some sheer dumb luck to find it. Aunt Cassie, if you can see this, I miss you.
“May the circle be unbroken, by and by , Lord, by and by….” This song reminded me of the Youth Communication Camp (YCC) I joined with 211 other campers from 21 schools from 16-18 September 2022. This heavily-subsidised 10th YCC was held by the Kuching Toastmasters Club at Borneo Happy Farm. YCC aims to train the skills of public speaking and leadership of teenagers. Despite the fear of being in a new environment and facing my weakness, socialising, I decided to join YCC for self-improvement. Public speaking has always been my worst nightmare. When it was my turn to deliver an impromptu speech on the first day, my legs trembled with fear, my hands shook uncontrollably. My new group member, Ailliaya affirmed me, “Relax, just take a deep breath, I believe you can do it.” At that moment, a tidal wave of confidence washed all over me. Driven by the strength from her supportive words, I straightened up, took a deep breath and started my opening line. I realised that everything was actually not as terrible as I expected only if I was bold enough to take a step out of my comfort zone. I received a round of warm applause after my speech and could finally sigh with a sense of relief. It was a challenging and yet unforgettable experience indeed. One interesting part of that day’s activities was the Picasso’s Corner. Each group drew their own art based on the theme of the 10th Year’s Anniversary of YCC “Get a Life, Live the Dream” creatively. Blessed with artistic friends in my group, we devoted all our free time to work on the artwork. Hence, we were glad that we managed to finish it in just two days. Unexpectedly, we even won the first place! The second day was more relaxing, as there were more outdoor activities waiting for us to explore rather than just sitting and listening to the speech crafting session. The obstacle course highlighted the importance of teamwork as there were so many challenging games that require one’s courage and collaboration with team members. When it comes to teamwork, one definitely could not achieve any success without the support and encouragement from fellow teammates. After the energy-draining yet fun obstacle course, there came the spotlight of that camp, the fascinating and entertaining Oscar Night! During Oscar Night, our group chose to showcase our lovely voices. Although our group did not win the judges’ heart, I was sure that we had won the night by just witnessing the thrilled screams and hyped-up faces from the audience. On the last day, we had a speech competition for both the prepared speech and the impromptu speech. One of the prepared speech contestants, Marcus Charles from 4 Cekap, SMK Batu Lintang sent a strong message on mindfulness. His commitment and effort in preparing the speech were evident as we witnessed him crafting the speech up till dawn! Time flew by and the camp eventually came to an end. We spent the last precious moment with our teammates by exchanging our contacts and taking a group photo as a reminiscence. It was hard to bid farewell to each other but we will always remember the theme "Get a life, live the dream”. If you desire to become a better public speaker or overcome your stage fright, YCC is sure to help you reach your goal. Participating in this leadership and communication camp is a once-in-ateenager’s-life experience. Why not sign up as a camper next year? L i e w Yu e | 5 C e k a p Get A Life, Live the Dream
GURU ARUS PERDANA SESI PAGI 2021 In a world which is similar to ours, the last community of a small nation lived in peace and harmony on a distant island. In the past, the people of that community fled from their nation to escape wars and to avoid incoming attacks from enemy nations. Although there were limited resources on the island, the people had enough to get by and were happy with their lives. However, on a fateful day, their whole world turned upside down. A young man named Nico was helping out his parents run errands together with his sister, Hazel. Suddenly, they heard a loud booming sound. As they looked around, they saw many people in a state of panic and distress. They were all running towards the town hall. Out of curiosity, the siblings ran towards the sound to see what was causing the ruckus. After running through the crowd, they were overwhelmed with a wave of fear, sending shivers down their spines. After many years of living peacefully on the island, an enemy nation has come to invade the island. Nico took his sister’s hand without hesitation and began to run for their life. As they were escaping, gunshots from the enemy soldiers and screamings of the townsfolk could be heard from a distance. Hazel looked at her brother’s eyes and asked, “Are we going to be fine?” “Yes, everything is going to be fine. We are going back to the house to find Mum and Dad,” assured Nico to his terrified sister. However, deep down in Nico’s heart, he knew there was a low chance of escaping the island. He suppresed the fear to give a glimmer of hope to Hazel. They were beginning to run out of breath. Suddenly, Nico felt a sharp pain in his left thigh. A soldier has managed to catch up to them. “Please! Spare us!” Hazel begged the soldier. Ruthlessly, the soldier aimed his rifle at the siblings. Just in the nick of time, a loud boom was heard, and the soldier fell to the ground. When the siblings looked up, they saw a familiar face. It was their good friend, Colt from the neighbouring town. Colt was a charismatic and courageous man, not many years older than Nico. He would usually spend time with the siblings by teaching them archery as well as perfecting his own archery skills. Still in a state of shock, the siblings thanked Colt and they continued to run. “We have to head towards the town hall. We will be safer there,” comforted Colt. Shaking his head, Nico objected “No. We are going to our house first. We have to make sure Mum and Dad are safe!” As they were running down a familiar street and approaching the house, anxiety clouded Nico and he began to lose hope. The moment they reached the house, their hearts sank. Nico and Hazel saw their blooddrenched parents on the ground with a soldier towering over them. It was too late. Fuelled by rage, Nico snatched the rifle from Colt and shot the soldier. After that, the siblings broke down and began to cry. “I’m so sorry for your loss. But we have to leave, the soldier will be catching up soon,” urged Colt. The siblings wiped their tears and fled to the town hall. Out of breath, they finally arrived at the town hall. Less than half of the townsfolk managed to take refuge at the hall. Nico, Hazel and Colt took a seat at the back of the hall, away from the crowd. After a few minutes, they heard a loud voice coming from the front of the hall saying “Everyone, calm down!” It was the town’s mayor. “We have come up with a plan, but we need everyone’s cooperation to make it work,” announced the mayor. “There are five boats ready at the North of the island. There is enough space to fit everyone here as well as some supplies. However, we need about twenty men to hold back the enemy while we make our way towards the North,” D a m i a n C h o y We i- Q u a n | 5 C e k a p Light At The End Of The Tunnel
explained the mayor. Hearing this, Nico’s fear and despair turned into courage and anger. “I want to avenge my parents and all who have fallen!” shouted Nico as he stood up. Seeing his blazing courage, twenty more men, including Colt, stood up and volunteered themselves. A spark of hope filled the people’s hearts as they began making their escape from the island. The twenty one volunteers armed themselves with bows and arrows as well as the rifles left by the fallen soldiers. Together with the crowd led by the mayor, they managed to gather enough supplies to last three days. The plan went on smoothly until one of the volunteers yelled in pain. Unfortunately, the soldiers caught up with them. The crowd began to panic and started to run. Despite his wounded leg, Nico led the charge against the soldiers. The volunteers took cover and formed a line. It was a standstill between the soldiers and the volunteers. However, as time passed, the soldiers advanced closer and closer, forcing the volunteers to fall back. Their morale began to drop and they started to doubt themselves. “We have to retreat! We can’t hold them back any longer!” shouted one of the volunteers. “Yes, we have to fall back or we will be goners!” agreed the remaining volunteers. “Fortune favours the bold! We just have to push on!” shouted Colt to boost morale. “What counts is not the size of the dog in a fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog! Hold the line!” Nico further added. The adrenaline rush kicked in, making their senses more aware and calming them down. They took aim, knocking down the soldiers one by one. Nico quickly pulled a volunteer down to the ground just as a bullet flew over his head. While they were fighting, a familiar but faint voice alerted Nico. Nico turned around and saw the mayor. “Fall back! Everyone has boarded the boats and is ready to leave!” shouted the mayor. Nico alerted the other volunteers and they began to make their escape. The adrenaline rush was beginning to wear off. Dodging the bullets, the volunteers rushed towards the boats as their legs began to wear out. Suddenly, Colt dropped to the ground. Blood ran down his left shoulder. He yelled and groaned as he struggled to get up from the ground. Nico immediately turned back and helped him up and they continued to run. Once they reached the coast, only one boat was left for the volunteers. As they were boarding and getting ready to leave, the soldiers spotted the boat and took aim at them. They used some of the supply boxes as cover to minimise the damage. “Go! I’ll hold them back! It’s too late for me, I lost too much blood,” said Colt as he jumped off the boat. As he charged, he ignited a stick of dynamite and threw it towards the cove. He turned back, looked at his comrades, let out a big smile and whispered under his breath, “It was nice fighting with you guys. I hope you find peace in your life, no matter where you are.” These were his final moments as the cove collapsed, separating the boat and the soldiers. Witnessing this, Nico and the volunteers were speechless. They all broke down in tears as this memory of a fellow friend was eternally carved into their heads. Everyone was in complete silence as they escaped and regrouped with the townsfolk. The mayor informed them that they would be taking refuge in an allied nation. When they arrived at their destination, Nico reunited with Hazel, hugging her the moment he saw her. They stayed at a refugee camp where they were provided with food and shelter. After a few days, they had a memorial for those sacrificed during the invasion. Nico and Hazel left flowers at their parents’ and Colt’s graves to mourn and honour their sacrifice. Although they went through a traumatic event with countless sacrifices, in the end, they managed to find comfort and safety to move on and start a new life. As the saying goes, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
⾏。为此，每⼀次妈妈要绞尽脑汁，想出个千⽅百计来说服我，让它被清洗。最后，我妥协了， 依依不舍地⾛到了洗⾐机⾯前再抱⼀次后，才把⼩枕头放进去，似乎是我再也⻅不到它了。 为了保证⼩枕头的安全，我还特地蹲在洗⾐机旁，守着它直到清洗结束。好⻓⼀段时间，我 都很快乐地与⼩枕头作伴，卿卿我我如同⼀对戏⽔的鸳鸯。因此，我⼀直不相信总有⼀天⼩枕头 会离开我，我会从此没有它。但就有那么⼀次，我差点就如同⽪⾁割离般失去了它…… 那时，我才五六岁。为了配合⽗⺟早出⼯作的时间，我每⼀天都必须五点起床，赶上⽗⺟的 顺⻛⻋到幼⼉园上课。有⼀天，⼤⾬⽽下，天⽓异常冷，我紧紧地抱着我的⼩枕头温暖熟睡。突 然，⼀道声⾳让我从梦中惊醒。 “阿莲啊，快起床了，再不起床就要迟了。”妈妈喊道。 声⾳传到了我⽿朵⾥，我眯眯睁开眼⼀下⼜闭上了。我实在太睏了，况且周公⼀直与我痴痴 缠，我蒙头⼜睡下去了……过了⼏分钟妈妈⽣⽓地⼜呼喊道…… “阿莲啊，给我起来，下⾬天会塞⻋！” 听到妈妈的语⽓开始重了，我明⽩了，⽴⻢从床上坐起来，但我仍然不清醒，坐在床上，紧 紧抱着⼩枕头发呆⼀会⼉。 然⽽，这⼀次导⽕线被彻底触发了。妈妈怒⽓冲冲的⾛进房间⾥喊道： “你再不给我起来刷⽛，我就把你的⼩枕头丢到窗外去！” 那时我还⼩，总觉得妈妈只是说说罢了，肯定不会忍⼼把我的⼩枕头丢下去。可说时迟那时 快，就在当妈妈⻅到我还是没动静时，⼀怒之下直接把我的⼩枕头丢了下去。当妈妈丢下去的那 ⼀刻，我本以为我的⼩枕头会没事，可当我听⻅“汪！汪！汪！”狗叫声时，我⼤感不妙。往窗外 ⼀看，“完了，我的⼩枕头已开始被那两只狗当玩具戏弄了！”当时，我和⽗⺟住在外公家店铺的 楼上，楼下经常会有狗出没的踪影。刚巧当时下⾬，两只狗都去店铺下避⾬。 从⼩，我就对⼩枕头爱不释⼿。不管我去到哪⾥，我都 要抱着它。它是我的守护者，给了我⼗⾜的安全感。有它在 我⾝边，⿊夜⾥我能很快地安⼼⼊睡；有它在我⾝边，我⽆ 时⽆刻也能感受到⽗⺟在我⾝旁⼀样的幸福和温暖。当它脏 了，需要被妈妈丢进洗⾐机清洗时，我都百般不愿。我不想 和⼩枕头如同⽜郎与织⼥般分离，哪怕⼀分钟，⼀秒钟也不 莲啊，快把你蓝⾊的⼩枕头拿过来洗吧，都抱了 它⼏个⽉了，难道就不嫌脏吗？”这是⼀个来⾃ “阿妈妈的呼叫声。 《⽪⾁分离》 segmen bahasa CINA
其实，当时我要的只是⼀份安全感，⼀份关怀。平 时⽗⺟⼯作忙碌，很少能和⽗⺟好好地沟通。就是这 样，⼩枕头是我唯⼀的寄托，它能够让我得到我想要的 情感。极度的伤⼼，只是当时的情绪，但我更想要的是 ⽗⺟理解的⼼。 ⾄今，经过多年⽆数次清洗的陈旧枕头套，还留在我的 床上。它的重要性已不能被其它的物品给取代。每当握 着它时，我还是会回想起那⼀段的往事，因为它已经烙 下了我怀恨妈妈的永恒记忆。其实，现今我已释怀，理 智懂事的我明⽩妈妈那时也只是⼀时冲动。枕头套曾经 是我的⼼中⽪，枕头曾经是我的⼼头⾁；虽然现在⾁已 不存在了，但我重新找到了能和⾁⼀样对等的温暖与幸 我⼆话不说，急忙地跑下楼，眼泪已经在我的眼眶你打转了。过程中，我的⼼脏⼀直不停地 怦怦跳。⼼情也翻⼭倒海地发⽣变化。我⼀边奔跑，⼀边祈祷着⼩枕头别出事：“别啊，别啊， ⼩枕头你挺住，我快来救你了。”“我来救你了，⼩枕头。” 紧接着，带着⼀丝丝的紧张的我⼜故作镇定地告诉⾃⼰：“没事的，没事的，阿莲。别急， 别急，⼩枕头肯定没事的。” 可当我到楼下后，抵达地点时，我整个⼈都愣住了。下⼀刻，我泪奔了。我刚刚强忍着的泪 ⽔，在这个时候顺势从我的脸颊如流下。两只狗已经把⼩枕头衔在嘴上了。我不顾⾃⼰的安危， 上前就和那两只狗拼抢⼩枕头。最终，我⽤我最⼤的⼒⽓只把⼩枕头最外层的枕头套给抢下来⽽ 已。两只狗拿着我的⾥头的枕头棉逃⾛了，只剩下我⼀个⼈在那⾥嚎嚎⼤哭。泪⽔如⽌不住的⽔ ⻰头⼀直往下流。“呜呜呜……呜……呜……” 我为⼼爱的⼩枕头⼤感不公。“为什么？为什么要这样对我呀？为什么妈妈要这样⽆情 啊？”我埋怨，也⼼痛不已。把枕头套紧握在⾃⼰的⼿中，我默默地⾛上楼梯，⼼⾥从此记恨妈 妈的冷酷⽆情。怎么也平复不了⾃⼰的⼼情。“都是妈妈的错！妈妈的错，妈妈的错… …”现在我 只留下了枕头套…… 之后的每⼀天，尤其是夜⾥我都失去了安全感。事发的隔⼀天，那种⽪⾁分离的痛令我很伤 ⼼，也不愿去上课，⼀直闹情绪。所以，⽗⺟拿我没办法，直接打了电话给⽼师，让⽼师到家⾥ 来说服和安慰我。我看到⽼师来了，我情绪更为激动，直接上前就拳打脚踢地驱逐⽼师。“你们 为什么个个都要对我这样啊，为什么我就要听你们的话？为什么你们就不能听我要的到底是什么 吗？”我的情绪⼜再次如⽕⼭爆发般发泄出来。撕⼼裂肺的哭声，着实把⽼师给吓坏了。⽼师也 拿我没办法，便⾛了。回想起来，那时，我还真⼤胆，竟敢打⽼师。 福，即是妈妈对我的陪伴与爱。 ⼼头⾁陪伴了我很多年，⼼中⽪也陪了我⾛过我最难的⽇⼦。⽪⾁终究都是会分离，但，妈妈的爱与 我始终不会分离。我很珍惜⼼头⾁和⼼中⽪，是它们让我意识到了其实妈妈的陪伴都深深地埋藏在了⺟⼥ ⽪⾁之间。 “阿莲啊，快把你的枕头套拿过来洗吧，都握了它⼏个⽉了，难道就不嫌脏吗？”我⼜听到了妈妈熟悉 的呼喊声。但，这⼀次不⼀样了。递过去再也不是区区⼀个枕头套了，⽽是⼀个来⾃妈妈对我的在乎与 爱…… P h a n g Y i n Li a n 彭茵莲 ( 3 S e ti a )
正⽉⼗五，潮⽔上涨，他⼀⼿持着⻥⾁块，⼀⼿持着钓竿，我拿着抄⽹，尾随其后，来到沼 泽地带。阿公曾经是当地的“捕蟹王”，不⽤先进的⼯具，只⽤绳⼦，⼀次捕获⼗⼏只螃蟹绰绰有 余。⾃⼰步⼊⾼龄，⾝⼿不再敏捷，阿公将传承的希望寄托在我⾝上，我不是⾼⼿，但总能从曾 经的⾼⼿那⼉学到⼀两招。 ⽔草茂密，泥泞较深且布满窟窿的地⽅是螃蟹的匿藏之处。⿇绳⼀端系在树枝，另⼀端系在⻥⾁ 块和⽯头，放到⽔草深处，将剩下的交给时间处理。⽔下，少年螃蟹正为跨⼊成年积蓄能量，灵 敏的嗅觉挡不住⻥⾁的诱惑，双眼露出泥巴环顾四周后，⾝披锐甲地横⾏霸道，钳住⻥块，慢慢 享受。⽔上，微微的动静激起阵阵涟漪，我迅速拉起绳⼦，拿起抄⽹捕捞，硕⼤的螃蟹就这样到 ⼿了。它仍咬定不放松，殊不知⾃⼰将⾯临同样的遭遇。 当然，真正的⼤丰收，得让蟹笼发挥。阿公捉住螃蟹的后腿，⼀看⻅带籽的肚⼦，摇了摇 头，便扔进海⾥。从⼩，阿公就教我辨别螃蟹的雌雄，尖肚⼦，钳⼦⼤的是雄性，圆肚⼦，钳⼦ ⼩的是雌性。从⼩在海边⻓⼤，世世代代以捕蟹为⽣，产卵期⼀⾄，祖辈们都遵守“捕公不捕 ⺟”的原则，只捕捉雄性，将带籽的⺟蟹放⽣。捕⽹的设计也很⽤⼼，宽⼤的洞⼝，只限于⼤螃 蟹，让幼崽回归⾃然。由于⼈⼝激增，对螃蟹的追逐固然迫切，却不能全⾯满⾜需求，⽆可奈 何。⼀些时候，阿公经常⽆所事事，⼿持芭蕉扇，坐在摇椅上悠闲地吹着海⻛。好奇⼀问，才得 知⻓达三个⽉的休渔期，⼀艘艘渔船停泊在码头，只为了资源的持续，⽣态的永久。这段期间， 螃蟹将安稳地成⻓，繁衍⽣息，当⽔⾥的⽣命轮回在不断循环，岸上的⽣命只能耐⼼等待。⼤⾃ 然中⽣命之间息息相关，⼀个物种的延续，将带动另⼀个时代的更迭。祖辈们对⽣灵的尊重，是 受到敬畏的嘱咐，在后代的⼝头上传颂，⾏动中传承。 我们乘上舢板，将新鲜剁碎的⻥块放⼊蟹笼，绳⼦系紧，扔⼊海中，静静等待。当惊喜纷⾄ 沓来，等待也是种美丽。我们⻬⼿拉起蟹笼，活泼乱跳的冒失⻤张⽛五⽖，我急忙捆绑举起双 钳，在甲板上肆虐的螃蟹，要将其束⼿就擒，是技术含量的考验。⽤脚稳稳踩住它，⿇绳先绕过 ⼤壳⼀圈，绕到右边的钳⼦后将其收紧，再绕到左边的钳⼦，两⽀钳⼦被逼收紧，绳⼦绕到壳后 ⽅打个结，螃蟹就动弹不得了。经历⽆数的训练，⼿被夹伤是家常便饭，但短暂的痛苦，因熟能 ⽣巧，换来永久的幸福。先辈们迁居不过⼏代⼈，却总能运⽤天时地利⼈和来随遇⽽安。这是⽣ 活智慧的结晶，也是我们⽣活的铺垫。 普通的螃蟹，虽丰盈饱满，却满⾜不了阿公挑剔的眼光。他仍皱紧眉头，持续拉⽹，他梦寐以求的东 西，并不是让⼈畅快的⾁⻝之欢，⽽是蕴含在⾁⾥的画⻰点睛之物。终于，⼀只膏蟹的亮相，好⽐昙花⼀ 现，惹得⻛云开阖。那苦苦寻觅的⾝影，总算让阿公的期许如愿以偿。膏蟹更极致的变化，让其他⾁质肥 美的螃蟹都成了背景。阿公笑了，我笑了，⼤家都笑了，⼀只膏蟹的惊喜不期⽽⾄，带来的不仅是⾆尖上 的雀跃，更深切的感受，是祖辈们对⽣命的善待，才得以换来⼤⾃然给予的馈赠。飘洋过海⽽来，在这⾥ 落地⽣根，看似物资匮乏的环境下，他们总能利⽤智慧和胆识，探索蛮荒中蕴藏的⾄味珍馐。 “⼩⼦，准备⾛了！”，阿公⽣⻰活⻁，满脸的皱纹，花 ⽩的头发带⾛了他的⻘春，精神却从不磨灭。那是海⼝区， ⼀个远离繁华的踏⾜之地。阿公曾在⾼楼的笼罩下打⼯，如 今虽远隔⼭海，他依然不断超越想像的边界，让思念中的味 道⼤放异彩，历久⽽弥新。 悉的⻥腥味扑⿐⽽来，贯穿全⾝，渗⼊每个细胞。 稍微腐烂的⻥⾁，在他⼈眼中奇臭⽆⽐，在我看 熟来，却是美味的泉源…… 《美丽的邂逅》
处理螃蟹是我的看家本领，但膏蟹的秘密好⽐⼀只脱缰的野⻢，要将其真正驯服，还得靠阿 公的拿⼿好戏。整只螃蟹先浸⼊凉⽔和不停加冰，再放⼊蒸炉。不需要多余的调料和⾼超的厨 艺，将整只蟹放⼊锅⾥蒸煮，膏蟹继续登峰造极的进化，⽽嘴馋的⻝客，除了蠢蠢欲动，只能将 期待留在⽕苗的魔术中。当然，膏蟹⾝为⼀朵鲜艳的玫瑰，必须拥有绿叶的衬托，才能突出争先 夺⽬的⼀⾯。经邻居⼀⼿，最拿⼿的咖喱蟹响亮登场。蟹⾁紧致，伴随着椰浆的浓郁厚重，海洋 与阳光的味道互相融合，⻢来和印度⻛味突显得淋漓极致，恰到好处。蒸炉上，阿公轻轻⼀闻， 精神百倍，打开锅盖，红彤彤的螃蟹在阳光的普照下，发出光鲜亮丽的⾊泽。餐桌上，我和兄弟 姐妹们共享⻝蟹之欢，原本⿇烦的拆解，顿时价值连城。轻轻拔开，鲜味彻底释放，⾁厚膏⾜， 轻嘬⼀⼝，⾹味在温暖的⼝腔中弥漫开来。唇⻮间，丰腴的蟹膏与弹⽛的蟹⾁轮番爆裂，咀嚼中 别有⼀番滋味。阿公看着吃得津津有味的我们，慈祥的眼神下，除了贴⼼的叮咛，只有欣慰的皱 纹。时空的界限瞬间消失，多年来相似的味道，同样慰籍今⼈与往昔。机械猖獗，环境污染，少 了螃蟹，我们的⽣活将如何缔造美丽的邂逅？ 从第⼀只送⼊⼝中的螃蟹，到跨越时间的创造，没有什么能像它们那样，浓缩历史的影⼦， 反映⼈间的冷暖，注⼊飨宴的灵魂。如今，螃蟹的价格⽕速上涨，从原先每公⽄两三令吉，飙涨 ⾄现在的六七⼗令吉，早已成为海⼝区多数⼈的收⼊来源。在这⽚神秘的⼟地上，⾃然与⼈类的 交流充满灵性，不需复杂的语⾔交流，仅由螃蟹牵住最纯真的⼼灵，就能共同感悟与体验，使海 ⼝区独具⼀格。⾝为⼤⾃然的⼀份⼦，在饕餮之时，切勿忘记先贤的付出。这是前辈们与⾃然共 处的智慧，为后代留下来的礼物。我和阿公望向远处，⽔泥的繁华下，螃蟹再次完成奢华的变⾝, 缔结了先贤和后辈以及⼤⾃然的美好邂逅。我默默许愿，海⼝区能永远⻓存; 也悄悄感谢，时代 对我们的关怀。 V o o n Y e u N e n 温宇能 ( 5 S e ti a ) 《我想你》 序 这绝对不是⼀个轻松的故事。 啾啾是⼀只⽩眉⻩臀鹎。我已记不太清关于初遇的细节了。记忆⾥，是妈妈把啾啾 从咖喱叶树救回来的。⼀开始我们只是把掉落在草地上的⻦窝放回咖喱叶树分叉的地 ⽅。后来⼤⻛刮起，树被吹弯了腰，⼗⼆⽉的连绵细⾬，再加上附近⼜常有猫咪出没， 就收留了在⻦窝⾥还未睁眼的⼩不点。那时妈妈⽐谁都激动，她⼉时的梦想便是拥有⾃ ⼰的⼩⻦。再后来，⼀连串的护理⼯作都是由妈妈⼀⼿操办，只有在上班时，我才会担 任啾啾的代理保姆。我想它迟早会离开，因为⻦⼉终归还是要在天上⻜，只是没想到， 它会以这种⽅式离开...... 虽然说悲剧总爱发⽣在下⾬天，但那是在⼀个晴空万⾥阳光明媚的早晨，洗⾐机⾥ 的⾐服们已经整装待发迫不及待地接受太阳公公的怀抱。从⼆楼外的铁花窗看进去，就 可以看到公公店屋的整个客厅。 我在和啾啾嬉戏。左⼿握着⼀截⽊枝，来到它⾯前，啾啾总会听话地跳上枝头，⽽ 我那贪玩的⼿就会故意把⽊枝上下摇晃。它⼀站不平衡，就会扇动翅膀，向前⻜，直到 ⿊溜溜的眼睛⽬击障碍物，便打个弯，急速扇动双翅朝我⻜去，最后停留在我肩上，那 就再完美不过了。但现实却常常落脚在⾼⾼的橱柜上。
意外 接近中午时分，太阳还是晒得那么猛；线杆上的⾐服在荡秋千；墙上的挂钟嘀嗒嘀 嗒；⻛扇在头顶不停地打转，后⼀⽚扇叶追着前⼀⽚扇叶，却永远也追不到彼此。 三两个孩⼦在客厅⾥落座，⽬不转睛地盯着⼿机。整个客厅只有⽼吊扇吱吱作响， 转⼀圈吱⼀声，除却有点吵，客厅有了它还是挺凉快的，宝⼑未⽼啊。 ⼤⼈们在厨房忙着弄饭，⼀茶匙味精正准备放⼊热腾腾的鸡汤⾥，浓浓的药材味从 远处传来，惹得我饥肠辘辘。 我坐在单⼈沙发上⼆刷⼀本翻译⼩说，《⼩王⼦》。我最喜欢⼩王⼦与狐狸的故 事，很认同书中所说——“如果你要驯服⼀个⼈，就要冒着掉眼泪的危险”。 我想，今天应该也像往常⼀样，窝在沙发上读到厌倦了，起⾝逗逗⻦⼉，做做家务 结束这平凡⼀天。 但意外从不会在进⻔前敲敲⻔，给予你开⻔选择权，它就像强盗⼀样不管不顾地闯 ⼊你平静的⽣活。 说时迟，那时快，砰的⼀声夺⾛了我的注意⼒，⽬光被牵引着向上望去。就在⼀瞬 间，我被吓傻了！只⻅啾啾单薄的⾝⼦被沾满灰尘的扇叶击中。恐惧占满了整个⾝躯， ⼤脑⽆⼒驱使⼿脚前往案现场，涌⼊脑中的第⼀想法就是找⼤⼈，恐慌的求救声在空⽓ 中回荡。 “阿妈，啾啾被⻛扇撞到了。” “阿妈，啾啾被⻛扇撞倒了！” “阿妈，啾啾被⻛扇撞倒了！” 空⽩的⼤脑，慌乱的脚步，声⾳却异常理智，没有时间任我空想。 ⼤⼈们⼿忙脚乱地赶来。 ⽽它的好伙伴我在哪⼉呢？ 噢，懦弱的我正躲在被窝⾥抽泣，不敢看啾啾狼狈的样⼦，我意识到，它那渺⼩的 ⽣命，随时有可能会被带⾛。 抢救 “啾啾没有动，但是它也没有流⾎......” “刚才它的⽖好像有动⼀下” “它的眼睛是闭着的” 勇敢的妹妹送来急报。 年幼的弟弟哇哇地哭了起来，把这压抑的⽓氛渲染得更加悲伤。
“不要伤⼼，啾啾也给了我们很多美好的回忆......”妈妈⼀边轻轻地拍着弟弟的肩， ⼀边安抚道。如果仔细听，妈妈的声⾳也是颤抖着的。但当时的我被啾啾的死淹没了 思 绪，并没有发觉。妈妈怎么可能不难过？怎么可能？她是⼀⼿把啾啾养⼤的。从⽑还没 ⻓⻬的⼩不点，⼀⼩搓蛋⽩，⻦粮，亦或是抓⼩蚯蚓⼀⼝⼀⼝地喂它，给它盖房⼦。投 ⼊的⼼⾎都⽐我们多。 “它可能只是晕过去⽽已，它的⾝体有微微起伏吗？摸起来会僵硬吗？” ⽗亲温和的声⾳平复了我的⼼。会不会它只是晕过去？很快就可以醒来了？！我的 ⼼就好像握住了最后⼀根稻草⼀样激动。但⽆奈妹妹的答复却带来了坏消息。 做了⼏个深呼吸，安稳了种种思绪，我慢步地⾛到啾啾旁边。妹妹⽤⼿轻轻地抚着 它的⽻⽑，我坐在她⾝旁，双⼿抱膝，凝视着它的躯体。擤⿐涕声连绵起伏。看着它我 ⼼⾥完全平静不了，内⼼深处的海浪波涛汹涌地要把我淹没，深不⻅底的海使我窒息。 我在⼼⾥⼀直呼唤着“醒醒”“啾啾醒醒”“快点醒过来”，直到最后这些词都⼀个⼀个 ⽆⼒地从我已经沙哑的喉咙⾥蹦出来。但现实却很残酷，并没有什么我幻想中的奇迹发 ⽣。它只是安静地闭着双眼，翅膀甚⾄都没有被扇叶搞⻣折，地⾯上⼲净得连⼀滴⾎也 没有，⼀点⼉也不狼狈。这难道不是晕过去吗？我想它只是睡着了。但为什么⾝体不会 随着呼吸起伏还开始变得僵硬呢？为什么呢？ 送别 肚⼦太饿了，原来快两点了，暖呼呼的鸡汤试图温暖我的胃，边吃边胡说⼋道地和 6岁的弟弟说⼀些我随⼝编关于啾啾死后的故事。⼈总需要相信⼀点东西，我也是，我 想要这个故事的最后，留下⼀个美好的结尾。 当我再回到案发现场，啾啾的⼫体却不⻅了——爸爸已把它埋葬起来。我假装释 然，毕竟这种时候我不能奢求⼀只⼊⼟的⼩⻦醒过来回到我⾝旁吧。我摘了⼀朵⼩⽩ 花，放在泥⼟上⽅。我那倔强的⾃尊强迫⾃⼰不要在爸爸和妹妹⾯前流泪，把要说给它 的话说完就⾛。 泪⽔在眼眶⾥打滚，原来电视剧⾥演的仰望着头真的可以⽌住流泪的冲动。这就是 经历⽣死离别的感受吗？以后更多⾝边的⼈离开也会⼀遍⼜⼀遍地重复着这最后的仪式 吗？ 刚下过⼀场⼩⾬，我踩在湿湿软软的草地，⼩草拂过脚踝，微⻛拍打我的脸庞，吹 散了我沾着泪⽔的⻓发，我遥望着⽆云蔚蓝的天空，在⼼⾥喃喃⾃问道。 之后的好⼏个⼩时⾥，我尽量让⾃⼰忙碌起来——下楼看顾店，吃饭，刷⼿机，才 不会让这突如其来的思念掌舵⼤脑。只是，在我闭上眼之后，感性占了上⻛，过往相处 的点点滴滴⼜浮出⽔⾯。 就在不到六个⼩时前，我才握着⽊枝与它玩⻜上⻜下的游戏；我才剥着⼀⼩块⼀⼩ 块的蛋⽩和⾁⼲送⼊⼀⼝⼀⼝送⼊它的嘴⾥。 就在不到六个⼩时前，它才坏⼼眼地⼤便在我腿上，惹来我⼀声骂，却⼜屁颠屁颠 地跳到我肩头，枕在我脖⼦旁歇息。它的⽖⼦轻轻地挠着我的⽪肤，把我当成树枝，微 微刺痛，但我才不在乎。 我⼀想到美好的过往，就会有⼀种窒息的悲伤。眼泪缓缓从眼⻆滑落。
“⻓亭外，古道边，芳草碧连天。晚⻛拂柳笛声残，⼣阳⼭外⼭......”我坐到钢琴⾯ 前，打开曲谱，舞动⼗指，弹了⼀⾸《送别》，送别我的啾啾，送别那只陪伴我们六⼗ 三天的啾啾，送别那只只活了两个⽉的⼩⻦。 重复弹了两遍，悠⻓平缓的旋律使我产⽣⼀种置⾝在平静的湖⾯上的错觉。 ⼀直哭使我格外疲惫，眼⻆⻓久处于泛红状态，⼀闭眼就好像能昏睡过去，却⼜控 制不住⾃⼰去想啾啾。那瞬间，我似乎真的理解了圣埃克苏佩⾥著作的《⼩王⼦》。⼩ 王⼦的玫瑰花是瞬间即逝的；我的啾啾也是瞬间即逝的。不像那两座活⽕⼭和⼀座死⽕ ⼭，我的啾啾，随时有可能会消失。 但是，从那以后，我看⻅任何⼀只与啾啾相像的⻦，都会因它能⾃由⾃在地⻜翔⽽ 感到满⾜。就像故事⾥狐狸从此爱上⻛吹⻨浪的声⾳，⼼中有了念想的⼈，⽽我将喜欢 遥望翱翔在⽆际天空中的⻦⼉。那些逗留在电线杆上的⻦⼉，将使我想起你。 那天夜⾥我梦⻅了啾啾。故事的结局宛如童话般美好。啾啾被⼀位的兽医救起，随 后便在我们⾝边⻜，最后停在我的肩上，它的⽖⼦轻轻地挠着我，却不再刺痛。梦⾥我 莞尔⼀笑，再平常不过。 后记 啾，还是有点想你。家⾥的每个⻆落都充斥着你⽣活过的⽓息。窗前还未清理的⻦ 粪；玩⼿机喝⽔时会习惯你还在我的书桌，蹦蹦跳跳的，瞧我不理你，就⻜上我的⼿机 屏幕上，后肩上，再然后我就会起⾝，给你带点⾍⼦和⻦粮，你最多只吃五条⾍⼦就不 要啦，有时候还会把⻦粮撒得满桌⼦都是。 早上，爸爸会把你放在屋外妈妈为你盖的⼤笼⼦⾥晒晒太阳，你也爱躲在⾥头的阴 凉处整理⽻⽑。每天担⼼你被附近的猫咪抓来吃的⽇⼦也不会再有。 还记得我在⽤电脑追剧时，你最爱打扰我，在键盘上跳动或者停留在屏幕边框，⾯ 朝着我，⾃顾⾃地⽤啄整理⽑发，任由⽻⽑屑落了满屏幕。但其实我超不介意的，因为 我喜欢你黏着我。 每当你主动向我肩膀⻜去时，我都会故作嫌弃地向妈妈打报告，但你从不晓得我⼼ ⾥有多开⼼，因为你只眷恋于我，因此我忘却了你随时会在我⾝上排泄的⼤⿇烦。 你还记得吗啾？ 真期望你能醒过来，但是⽬睹你的躯体被⼟壤覆盖的那⼀刻，我就知道，什么奇迹 都不会再出现了。 啊，多绝望的事情啊，却要留给我们⼀家⼈来⾃我消化。 我想你不该这样死的，或被猫抓到或⾃⼰⻜向蓝天或种种死法，不该是⼀个⼈类可 控制的⻛扇使你⻜往天堂。我会默默为你祈祷，我爱你啾啾，这次真的再⻅咯，要注意 不要被⻛扇打到呀，去你的林⼦⾥⻜吧。 Wo n g Zi X i n ⻩⼦欣 ( 4 S e ti a )
