爱心晚餐

Posted on August 5, 2010 by

因为刚结婚，最近碰到朋友时都会被问婚姻生活跟单身生活有什么不同。来不及好好思索这个问题，习惯性回答就是简单两句“还好”，敷衍带过。友人可能只是随口问问，也不加追问“还好”到底是什么意思。 上个星期五因为工作忙，不知不觉加班到晚上十点左右。老婆打了几通电话催我早点回家，说家里人都在等我开饭。 回到家时，天暗了，我肚子饿了，也带点疲劳。打开家门，看见等着我一起开饭的老婆大人和我父母，还有老婆那天特地下手烹饪的爱心晚餐，一时感慨万分 － 这就是婚姻生活的美好吧！ 老婆爱烹饪，丈夫也有口福。 有时夫妻之间也会有一些小争执，不过婚姻生活总的来说，“还是美好的”。我的“还好”，可能就是潜意识“还是美好的”的缩称。 Btw, if you are wondering why I posted my recent two blog entries in Chinese, I am forcing myself to brush up on my rusty Chinese writing.

大雨

Posted on August 4, 2010 by

“大雨大雨一直下 地上有个大水洼。。。” 没有看到林志颖的野菊花，却有看到许多国人束手无策的表情。 常在新闻看到别的国家在淹水，也曾听过老一辈诉说新加坡以前也常淹水。却没想到当今的新加坡也会淹水，而且还淹到乌节路市区去。 国人怪政府，政府怪PUB，PUB怪天气。问题没有迅速解决的方法。 前天我上班途中，又是倾盆大雨，巴士迟来，德士不见踪影。我心想着，不知那儿又淹水了。 新加坡人一直很幸福，天气不怎么变动，不需要注重天气预报。如今我国淹水淹得这么厉害，以后天一开始下雨，人们就会心有余悸，不知哪一户人家会遭殃。 外头大雨直下，出门前也多了份顾虑。同样的大雨，一年前和现在，却带着不同的感触。
