倾听幸福的心声--访吴若权后记

11月份幸运地和克敏一起访了吴若权老师 事后，给老师发了一封简短的电邮。 电邮里，向老师道歉，因为自己没有做事先准备就开麦讲话（原本只是想去观察学习的） 也感谢老师在off-air时，说了一句让我感动、受鼓励的话。 老师回复时说了： 您很用心  也很聰明靈巧 能與您一起訪談 非常愉快 今早，翻开老师的书≪倾听幸福的心声≫，才了解 老师倾听了我的情感需要 所以如此回复 谢谢克敏 谢谢吴若权老师 谢谢广播

无处漂流 -- (总261|2010No.15)

飞地

对于一个高度近视眼来说，比如我，每次要到理发的时候，就是一次冒险。

估计视力正常的人无法了解，当你把眼镜摘掉，头发湿漉地坐在理发椅上时，那种感觉，其实有点破罐破摔的无助感。因为，你完全看不清理发师怎样除掉你的头发，然后你还要假装看得清他们所剪的每一刀。大多数时候，只能闭眼了事，顺便祈祷他不要玩什么花样。

所以，对我的500度近视而言，去理发实在是一件很有负担的事情。那简直类似轮盘赌，同时也暗示着你，日常生活总有一些折磨你的盲点，而且你无法逃避。

安然对峙你的盲点，不要被它打败，就是所谓的冒险，即使那是微不足道的日常生活。如果可以在生活的悬崖上观照的话，安全平淡的日常，存在这些冒险契机，其实也可以看作上天特意安排的恩赐，请千万不要轻易错过它。

比如，十数年前，我曾经参加过雅鲁藏布江漂流探险，它带给我的心灵财富，供我在这十数年后的都市生活中持续消费。这次经历，让我懂得如何去放低一个所谓文明人的骄傲自大，无论是面对自然，还是面对同类。而巧合的是，我的同事刘琼雄在今年也去参与了金沙江漂流，并诞生了本期封面专题报道。他写道：“至今回忆起来，就像是从我的时间里硬生生被切走了一段，不属于自己。有时候我甚至怀疑这段记忆从哪里来的?”

是的，那些硬生生的，不属于自己的记忆，是每一个经历过冒险的人们，在记忆的深海里浮现出来的突兀飞地。因为，它不属于你的日常经验，它是那么地桀骜不驯，以至于，你觉得它不属于你；或者说，如果你勇于做一个特别的人，那么，你的记忆飞地，应该会版图广阔。然后，若还可以在不同的飞地间熟练腾跃，那无疑会演进为某种精神的高潮。

怎么拥有越来越多陌生，而又充满乐趣的精神飞地？“漂流中国”的创办者，美国人文大川的一句话很有意思：“人，只需要像放松了的海绵一样?”

或者，像本期我们的封面人物何韵诗所说：“如果你愿意尝试把心里的梦想说出来，很有可能，这些所谓的胡说会变成一首诗。”

一本好杂志，一个好朋友

我也曾经偷偷听想过到自己都很喜欢的杂志社工作……

不要怕孤独

你孤独吗？

这些日子，我一个人生活
不再需要等人一起吃饭

我一个人 偶尔坐在电脑前面看电影
偶尔和朋友碰面聊天
多数的时候 好像有很多其他的大小事
让我不需要去想自己要干嘛 要怎样过时间

孤独的时候
耳朵、心、都变更灵敏了
有时候看到电影里漂亮的镜头
好想拿起笔，随意勾勒出那个构图

听到动心的歌，放到面子书上去分享
带到电台去播

走路遇到看到美好的事
我写下来

孤独
真好






很晚了。孤独的人。怎样都应该去睡了
睡着了，还是孤独

02 apr 2011 我又回到1003主持自己的節目了

by Vinn Wong on Saturday, April 2, 2011 at 3:44am

我花了3個小時 東逛西逛

我挖出了自己從ntu,到08年校園幫,09年非不快樂,10年企鵝三號車的"床音樂"來重聽

我覺得明天是延續,並不是開始

我希望新的節目可以散播更多笑容

我希望兩週一次的主持對自己的生活,對節目的品質都是更好的

我的新節目其實也很舊

我會更專注的談書 - 先分享,再挑出一個話題請聽眾來參與

我也想做回和綠色有關的內容 - 對於媒體曾經很火的談樂活,環保然後就淡忘,我介意

我還會讓廣播來鞭策自己去參加一些文化方面的活動,關注這方面的消息 - 電影節.音樂節.戲劇.舞蹈

我的朋友們,你們如果很願意來上我的節目,請讓我知道

如果你們要做甚麼特別的事,請來找我幫你宣傳,我也會儘量幫你牽線

如果你希望在我的節目聽到甚麼,請告訴我

我愛你們

我很慶興自己就算沒有成為全職 還是很喜歡廣播

的自由 的靈活 的空間 的親密 的簡單

我希望我一直覺得自己太懶惰,有太多東西想學想做,有太多喜歡的人想要和他聊天見面喝茶

我希望我的寶貝家人 健康 因為我還沒有足夠的錢支持我的家 更沒有足夠的錢給你最好的治療

我 是一個 幸福有幸運的孩子

謝謝你們

有時間,不管你人在哪裡

一個具有戲劇張力的場合

我們坐下, 圍著那張大桌, 爸爸媽媽小妹大妹和我

我對正考慮未來當編劇的大妹說
這是一個很具戲劇張力的場合 不是嗎?

我說 沒有人理解 現場每個人的心里究竟是甚麼感覺
傷痛 痛得就要崩潰了 可是 盡力微笑 說一些極為平常的話
平常的不可思議 的話

你的孩子甚麼時候飛回去?
你呢, 去那裡唸書?
你在新加坡工作哦?

那, 我們不久前還在爬山時碰到他, 他看起來那麼健康, 沒想到......

平常活蹦亂跳的小孩 這一刻 很正常的不正常 很安靜
平常感性的小孩 這一刻 一臉堅毅
誰都不想 自己的傷痛 讓別人的痛雪上加霜
大家都痛 都不說 都不哭 或是盡力哭得不讓人發現

陌生的臉孔這時候會帶著無比關愛的心走向你
給你擁抱 要你加油 要你保重 要你堅強



你說 我們有心里準備了
而我知道 當心里準備好面對的事發生了
我們竟然發現自己原來還是無法承受

生命中 太多的事沒有預習, 沒有經驗 也不想有經驗

今夜 我希望你能再眼淚中 睡著 親愛的

this is a non-working weekday for me.
i tell myself, i shall run after i write this blog.

casual poet - 2011-04-24 - mother's story by 1003casualpoet

i'm listenig to the above when i m typing.
she is a special girl. i still think that she is some kind of lucky girl, born in a rich family.
but other than my jealousy, i admit, she is different, in an admiring way

reading her blog, it makes one think about 'self'

我觉得我变得平凡了

i wonder if someone think of 'self' but have no idea how he or she has become, is it better or worse
it must be quite worrying, or not?

i have lost some kind of sensitivity - i thought it is part of growing up - or maybe it is just a kind of loss

anyway. since being attached with my current husband, and then get married, being nourished in a certain kind of way has unknowingly made me probably a more lovable and loving person. i have been stirred away from the sentimental and the ‘rather pessimistic' kind of me. yet, deep down, i know i admire people who writes, who thinks a lot, who cries, who rambles their crazy thoughts. they are out of norm. they are special, being themselves, less assimilated. when i last went sing K with my dear sis, i know i sing my emotions out with some songs by zhang xuan, chen shan ni ...

anyway. there is nothing to regret about, or can be regretted about, or need to be regretted about

nothing

i experience my days in a very nourishing way. i grow.

and next, when husband is away for his dream in penang (malaysia), when i m going to have my single room (my 1st ever in life), i guess i would experience life differently. i know being alone for a while before we finally settle together forever is a good thing. everyone needs to connect with someone. at the same time, everyone needs to be with 'self' every now and then too.

i wish me & my husband who brings me to experience a life that is very different without him
we both live, feel, learn, grow, smile, cry, sometime together, other time alone

knowing someone loves you - no matter what - is a kind of happiness

:  )

i need a quiet place to talk to myself

again

to talk randomly abt things in my mind

- well my dear sis seems to have found someone who will take care of her. & i wish she finds the inner peace, & become happy with her life & her self.

- a good friend called up. 恭喜我, he said. that's very him. very cute. & he finally got someone who is willing to tie a know with him. although i dun understand why a second time proposal. i guess for a man/boy like him, nothing is not right as long as he feels like to do it. wish he a good time diving with his beloved fiance. & i m glad that, as a friend, i can give him a small little gift by standing for his show, host for him. i will do it with much blessing in heart, with much gratitude to my gifted talents which allows me to give him a gift he needs.

- another special friend, whom i met him again recently, after years of losing contach with each other. we met at a special time which none of us will ever thought of. still, for everyone who loves whole heartedly (like my guy friend who recently 再求婚成功) will meet a life-long partner one day.

- talking about guy friend. there is one i had not met for long. and i probably know that it migth be better if we dont. i miss him, a lot. time has flied, fast. and his kindness and gentle-ness, and the moments we had shared is really part of good memory. i promised i will invite him for my wedding. and i dun know if i m going to break this promise because it is probably best to let the past be the past, for him & his loved ones, this is the best?

- & talking about breaking promise. i (or we, with my husband) recently watched Mayday's interview done 2 yrs ago. I recently met a photographer, make-up artist who loves what they do for living. & i .. 心虚 (diffident?) Xin from Mayday says Mayday has dreams which has yet to be realised; without dreams, he says, heart seems to have cooled down 心好像冷掉了. my dear. what's my dream? i would answer a coffee shop, with grand piano 三角钢琴, with books, if i can continue radio hosting, that would be perfect. well, i dont know what is behind this coffee + piano + book + radio. Is it about sharing? Is it about slow life? I am not sure.

what about radio? i talked to myself hundreds times, that place is cruel, that place is not as ideal for me anyway, i dont like ad-lib, i .. but when he asked me for standing in, my heart still feel the bitterness. i m just being honestly weak. i m silly. i know i dun fit into it, it doesnt suit me too, my feeling is still not controllable. and honestly, honestly, to be able to share on-air, to read ur sharing thru sms, to know u thru call-ins, to do radio, every moment is 痛并快乐着. the happiness comes from the effort put in, comes from the enjoyment you shared with me which you gained from what i shared.

i love radio hosting

i guess that's a fact, afterall

& afterall, untill i find sth i love more than radio hosting, i hope to keep on doing it, no matter how infrequent. i love the connections we create on-air.

i love u yong jian. i love u yong da. i love u too tong. i love the gifts radio has given me, a friend like ke min. i love my dad who listened, who smiled & said, u sound great. i love my husband who said, go back do ur show live, since u enjoy it much. that's many thing radio gives me. i m thankful to lingzhi's yinyueriji. i m thankful to my 15 when i stayed in hostel. i m thankful to my siss n bros who listen to great music & share with me. i m good.

i m loved. & i ve sth i loved which makes my heart wrench sometimes.

afterall. it's probably a blessing in disguise. i did not make it there makes me still love it so much. my years in debate told me one thing: if u r not chosen, it doesnt mean u r not good enough. that means only u r not chosen. well, another thing which dear songhui xuezhang shared & i remembered it clearly: we see your persistance, and in debate, people who persists there eventually make it

: ) a smile to me, and my dear friends who read this

遇見美好的 台灣 朗讀節

光是熱鬧無法創造的美好感受

文／楊照

城市愈來愈大，人口愈來愈多，在這種情況下， 活動要如何辦得成功，定義有了微妙的變化。

活動要熱鬧，但光是熱鬧卻無法傳遞幸福的感受。有時候， 反而倒過來，在熱鬧中有所簡化、清靜，才更能讓人有深刻的印象。

論起書展活動的熱鬧，沒有比香港書展更驚人的了。兩年前， 我在香港書展會場，扣除掉演講時間不算，只待了十五分鐘。 剛好夠讓我埋沒在龐大的人潮中，被人潮推著前進， 從這個入口走到下一個出口。中間幾乎沒有停下來，不是我不想停， 是沒辦法停，可是書展裡不能停下來悠閒翻翻書，那去書展幹甚麼？

今年台北書展剛剛落幕，六天中有五十九萬人入場， 據說打破了過去的人數紀錄，不過還好，可能眾多人潮都去了「 動漫館」，主要場館並沒有擠滿人的壓迫感。更好的是， 書展中辦了一系列的「朗讀節」，幾乎隨時進場都可以在「 朗讀角落」遇到有朗讀活動。

「朗讀」就是一種簡化、相對清靜的活動。簡簡單單， 一個作者來到現場，面對讀者，用自己的聲音將自己的作品， 一字一字一句一句念出來。沒有甚麼別的花招， 也沒有甚麼額外的熱鬧。沒有參加過這種朗讀的人， 第一個反應幾乎都是狐疑：這有甚麼意思？會有人要參加這種活動？ 幹嘛花時間去聽作家唸已經寫下來的文本呢？

聽朗讀其實大有道理。最大的道理是：用緩慢的速度， 比一般閱讀慢得多的速度，比較接近創作的速度，來理解作品。 而且是用作者，不是讀者的速度。 我們在那裏聆聽著文字背後潛藏的聲音， 突然意識到文字絕對不是圖像，而有其豐富的節奏變化。於是， 那段時間裡，我們和文字發生了不同的關係， 也就對於那段被朗讀的文字，有了很不一樣的感受了。

這樣的朗讀活動，是歐美習以為常的新書發表形式， 過去卻很少在台灣出現。台灣的新書發表會，作者總得多些話， 通常還要邀請別的來賓幫襯再多說些，最好是加上一些其他的噱頭， 唯恐其不夠熱鬧。

面對讀者，真的非要那麼熱鬧不可嗎？台北書展「朗讀節」證明了， 安靜一點沒甚麼不好，簡單一點沒甚麼不好， 少一點說不定反而能給讀者多一點的體會。

和「朗讀節」相應的，這次書展主場走道攤位沒有特別擁擠， 看來營業銷售額可能也沒多大突破，可是幾個辦演講活動的場地， 卻始終不冷清。我參加的幾場活動，性質各自不同， 但場子裡都坐了滿滿的人，而且活動過程觀眾都很投入， 不是那種進來找椅子休息的。主持朱天心和鍾曉陽對談的那場， 我刻意觀察了一下圍立在外面的人，發現他們大部分的人， 一站站了四十分鐘，都沒有離去。

顯然，有比往年更多的人，不是，或不只是來書展買書的。 他們進到書展，因為這裡可以給他們一種討論書的氣氛， 在這裡看到作家、出版人，聽見書籍產製過程的細節，樂此不疲。

書隨時可以買，更有許多書展以外的地方可以買， 光是拿書展當買書的管道，當然是太可惜了。難能可貴， 台北書展今年明確做出了一種特殊的環境條件， 只有在書展才會聚攏作者、讀者、編輯、 出版家一起打造出的美好時光。

美丽的今天

有很多美好的发生了

我发现自己很久没有去阅读的一个作家的部落格
他还在写

我会发现他，是因为我的朋友在fb推荐了 半间书店
而他 也喜欢 半 这个字

我还听了很多好歌 falling slowly - irglova / secrets - woodward / damien rice
看了和音乐发展史有关的书
看了chernobyl 的纪录片
游泳了
生气了 - 讨厌的生气的自己了

爱上很美好的生活了

亲爱的，好好生活下去吧 - 想主持就主持、想卖咖啡就去打工、厌倦了现在的工作就去卖书

将来我还要说很多话、天天和书在一起、不能喝太多咖啡的我要跑好喝的咖啡给你喝

想象我美好的未来 - 和我相爱吧 - 和我美好的未来相识吧

美丽的今天 - 美丽的我和我们 亲爱的

卓如燕‧歸去，無風也無雨‧致陳容弟兄 2011-02-09 19:11

陳容：

你安葬後當晚，我就狠狠地、放聲地哭了一場！直哭得頭暈腦脹，後來我告訴自己：不哭了，就是哭死了你也不會活過來！

你走了！我心很痛。12月20，我們在檳城演唱，回程時你對我訴說了一點心事，以及你的困境；你絕望於人的虛偽、事的空幻。可你突然又興奮地敘說今後的計劃，包括幫我錄製一光碟，還說可以到怡保和吉打取景。

“其實馬來西亞

很美，到處都能取景。”你說。語氣充滿熱忱充滿期待，我那早已冷卻的心慚被你說動了、回暖了。在那剎那我突然想起我們剛從歐洲回來的情景：躊躇滿志理想遠大，你當時立願要帶領我們一塊兒提昇大馬音樂水準，還要協助將XX大會堂的舞台改造一下，比如將地磚換上其它材質以便能產生自然的音效。你要讓華社領袖知道大會堂有多棒，只要動點腦筋簡單“弄一下”，就是個超好的演出場地。我們拍手附和，於是你著手找錢，而且有了眉目。真是一廂情願！

可那願望無法達成後的某一天，當我們經過一塊土地時你突然說這地很適合蓋音樂廳，於是你帶領你夫人書婉，伴奏鮑以靈和我站在那塊地上，手牽手合著心，低頭祈求上帝將土地賜給我們。

這樣的白日夢我們陪著你不知做了幾回。數年後，我們一起夢醒了，音樂廳沒做成，為眾人呈獻動人的音樂，卻似對牛彈琴，他們說：“聽不懂啦！”可那些說“聽不懂”的人卻索取免費票。

有些華社組織領袖認為，藝術家演唱不可求酬勞，曾有人說：“請別將外國的壞風氣帶回來，也別去影響其他的歌手！”誰規定藝術工作者演唱就應該免費？而財經專家講一場或歌星唱一場就幾萬元？

後來人們終於接受也願意給點錢，不過，有時候那些“小錢”可是包括酒店費、伴奏費、汽油費（有時遠至300公里）和大道收費；我們說：“不行啊！那麼遠的地方我們得停兩天課，這點錢連請伴奏的費用都不夠。”他們說：“哎呀！唱二十分鐘而已啦！”可“台上一分鐘台下十年功”，他們還不知道做一套演出服要多少錢！結果“生意”談不攏，而藝術工作者卻被塗上了銅臭色彩。

逢到願意給錢的，包括名人或政黨人士，但要等；等得人心煩，等得我們想學大耳窿去他家潑紅漆。最後大家都生氣了，我們氣是因為餓肚子，他們氣因為沒面子！陳容，記得嗎？去年8月我們到沙巴演出，一張支票還要等兩個人簽名，不是這個出國就是那個開會，這樣下去恐怕不止錢拿不到，連先墊的飛機票也會賠上！

現在你不想跟這些人糾纏了，捨我而去！我怎能不痛心？

安息禮拜當天，我們將你在歐洲比賽時所得的獎品帶到殯儀館，一共7個國際大獎，其中一面冠軍獎牌上寫有“Bravo Chin Yong”（棒極陳容）3個字。看著心裡禁不住感慨：以你的才華，真生不逢時生不逢地啊！在國外，藝術家有國家有財團資助，他們只管搞好音樂就可以了，可在大馬你卻要拼老命；為了生存為了日後，你只能毫無選擇地演唱和不停地教課，做音響做錄音，你多累啊！最後你加入傳銷業增加收入，無奈啊！

你本已站在國際舞台上，為何多事跑回來“提昇本土藝術文化”呢？你這不簡直是一朵鮮花插在一大票牛糞上嗎？難道你不知道我們這個擁有2千800萬人口的國家是無法養活一個世界級男高音的嗎？難道你不知道國家不會重視你，華社又多半要你“吃的是草擠的是奶”嗎？難道你不知道大企業家甚至政黨都願意花巨款請外國藝人來演唱而忽略了你嗎？（即便請你唱可待遇卻是天淵之別啊！）難道你不知道政客們對你的承諾，你必須當屁話來詮釋嗎？難道你不知道很多人只會在你死後才說：“天妒英才，一大損失”嗎？現在，我真怕有人突然發現你是位世界級“犀利哥”，然後充滿熱忱匆匆忙忙流著熱淚提議給你追封個甚麼藝術家大獎再得意地說：“我終於為陳容做了件‘很有意義’的事”。

有時我想，我怎麼不勸你去當個藍領工人呢？上次我家屋頂漏水，修理工來了不到一小時就要了我800塊錢，他告訴我他月入數萬。你真是拿個起子修冷氣機也好過你在這兒才華被糟蹋！

你累了，息了人世間勞苦先行而去。去吧！去吧！在主懷裡，無風也無雨。

安息，我的好弟兄！在我心中沒人可替代你的角色，我會懷念你和你的歌聲，永遠，永遠……

星洲日報／言路‧作者：卓如燕‧2011.02.09

美好週末

美麗的早晨

被愛人叫醒,再睡著,在被朋友的電話叫醒

腦中響起陳綺貞<躺在我的衣櫃>

想起昨夜你燦爛的微笑,叫我不要把你的小秘密說出去

邊聽歌,邊期待,期待今天和好朋友出去走走

美好週末

consolidating eye balls & reaching out!

hmm.. if i m not a librarian, i probably wont visit this site, though it's actually very resourceful and interesting for readers

NLB Blogs

And, i understand why they're several blogs created, it's to categorise info and to target diff demographic group. YET, eye balls/visitorships is thus divided. can we do sth like what xinmsn is doing? put every current, up-t0-date, popular info in one site for easy access and also to consolidate all the eye balls. Then, a teenager is exposed to what adults are reading as well? What're the pros and cons behind putting everything in one site?

GoLibrary is another good site which list all the events held by NLB. there are talks, leisure activities, workshops, exhibitions, concerts, and many more. BUT whoelse will visit this site if not a library user? Thus, there will be many good events that's being missed as the publicity just never reach the people who really want to be there? Shall we PROACTIVELY promote what we have at relevant forums? Sites? Platforms?

心得.笔记

my 3rd day of working as a librarian

few things to jote down
1. the naming of nlb youtube videos is problematic. it should be more "apple-ish", meaning more direct, focused, more enticing which arouse curiosity. "speach by XYZ, song by ABC" doesnt work at all, this will bury good content.

2. J mentioned that there are many numbers, such as total of Book Loans, Queries, and Visitors, which as librarians, we are accounted for. We have to meet target of X amount of each every financial year. Hmm, well, it seems like that there's no way i can escape this fate. Yet, i hope to always remember that behind every number there is a lovely story of someone meeting a book for his/her soul. - just like my dear student who was killed in a fire, which emotionally affected me and my students so much would eventually become a number in some reports.

3. I was asking if i can set up 'book display' on the religion Muslim during ramadan, the answer i got was not advisable as it's sensitive. Yet i dont agree with it as this is to promote mutual understanding and not vilifying any org or institution.

Last, i hope to keep myself as a very approachable person, with energy, and really create meaningful activities on reading for the people out there.
