终于终于,马来西亚了。

一五一一年,
葡萄牙人来了。
来的不只是贸易谈商的船只,
来的是阿布奎带领的十多余的船舰和一千三百个壮汉。
而带走的是马六甲王朝的辉煌,马六甲人民的血汗,马六甲土地的资源。

一六四一年,
葡萄牙人走了,
荷兰人来了,
留下了红屋,留下了红毛人。
带走的还是一样,人民的血汗,土地的资源。
我该感恩它为我们的大地增添了人文色彩吗?
唉!

一八二六年,
轮到英国来了。
他称自己是大不列颠,是伟大的国家,是高等的民族。
来自伟大的国家的高等的民族,卑微了自己,
来到了咱们这广泛资源,民族和谐的地方,
教导我们如何把这些资源出口至他乡,教导我们如何以种族区分而居。
于是我们学会了辨别肤色,于是我们忘记了大家皮肤底下的血管里的血都是一样,是红色的。
嗤!

那日本的三年O八个月我就不想说了。
真心不知道如何开口?
不是,我应该说我不明白他们的作为。
同理心,我承认我缺乏呗!
你要我怎么去同理这些人类?这些把其他人类不当做人类的人类!
我不是出生在那个年代,
对,我不是目击证人,
但是从前辈们的口中传出,从前辈们的书里读到,
虐待,逼迫,强奸,滥杀,用的方式竟然还可以用“创意”来形容。
叹!

好吧好吧。。。等吧。。。

谁让我们手无缚鸡之力?
谁让我们被强国所统治?
谁让我们敢怒而不敢言?

等吧。。。

无奈地等。。。

等那和平的日子到来,等那和谐的相处回归。

等呀。。。

然后,

终于终于,日本投降了。
终于终于,战争结束了。
终于终于,民族开窍了。
终于终于,英国放手了。
终于终于,
一九五七八月三十一马来西亚了。



后记:
最后想要呼吁大家,请好好珍惜我们的祖国。
国家独立真的不容易。这个国家的独立,是不同种族的前辈,一起合作争取回来的。
独立不容易,别白费了前辈的心血。
江山难攻更难守,现在就要看我们后辈如何有智慧地去发展我们的国家了。
至于以前的恩恩怨怨,就当作教训,当作警惕,当作前车之鉴,
可以不计较的,咱就不计较。可以避免的,咱就尽全力去避免。可以进步的,咱就声嘶力竭地去努力。
最重要的是现在是未来,不是吗?

我的第一间医院


20174月,终于完成了长达一年在柔佛最忙医院的实习。对这间医院,感情是复杂的。
讨厌这里的忙碌,但是却满足于接触到很多有趣的病症药谱。
讨厌这里的冷漠,但是却陶醉于交上了不多不少的知心朋友。
讨厌这里的骄傲,但是却欣慰于自己适应了这让人矛盾的大人世界。

你,好不好

201610,我初入社會第七個月。雖然還説不上對自己的工作厭倦,但是也算是做著做著,就麻木了。每天,不是對著病人解釋“satu biji dua kali(一天兩次,一次一粒)”,就是戰戰兢兢埋頭工作,深怕一不留神被上司瞧見做錯了什麽,漸漸地開始忘記自己對自己的專業的熱忱。是的,是沒人珍惜嗎?還是急於求功?我當時一直在這問題裏兜旋徘徊

遇見他,我開始明白,不,不是沒有人珍惜我的努力,而是我自己做的還不夠。雖然不是第一次想要讓自己變得更强,但卻是第一次想要為病人做得更多。

我們相遇,是在新山中央醫院的血癌病房。我當時就是上去(是,是需要走一段上山坡的路)抄病人的記錄,純粹是爲了趕快做完二十個case然後交差走人。抄完后正想離開,他叫著了我。

“你要走了啊?”
“啊不然呢?你幹嘛又走來走去?”
“現在要去照心電圖。沒事我過幾天就出院了。”
“哦哦,恭喜你啦!掰。”
“爲什麽你每天趕著來趕著走?都那麽忙?還是你在裝忙?我過几天就出院了,你不能和我說説話再走?”
“你要我為你做什麽?”
“和我説話,陪伴我,就可以了。”

結果那天,我加班兩個小時多,不是因爲做不完工,而是我們太多廢話要說。

就這樣,之後就算沒有case要抄,衹要我有空都會上去看看他。當然,和以往比較起來,我也花了多些時間和其他病人交流,去知道他們的想法,去知道他們的恐懼雖然以自己短淺的知識,以及現今醫藥科技的限制,沒有辦法讓所有癌症病患都藥到病除,但是,至少我們能做的,是給與那份耐心,以及陪伴。其實,這不是我自己領悟出來的,是他讓我明白的。

他雖然説不上是病房裏最有光芒的那位,但是絕對是最樂觀最積極之一。從第一天化療,到最后一天,他沒有一天是害怕的,沒有一天是抱怨的。那個對人生的積極以及無畏,是我深深欽佩的。

我問他“你是化療掉頭髮嗎?”
“不是,但是我做好準備了。”
“有想吐嗎?或者瀉肚子嗎?”
“沒有,病魔摧殘不了我。”
“有覺得老天對你不公嗎?”
“沒有。換著是別人他們也許無法接受,我就當作爲他們受了吧”
“什麽讓你那麽堅强?”
我不強,我衹是覺得自己不。”

是的,不弱。不必硬著頭皮死命演繹著堅强,衹需要不放棄,不弱,就行了。對著人生,不是說堅强就能熬過一切。最重要的,不就是那默默依然向前,依然要生存的決心嗎?

“我明天出院
“不要到處跑,在家休息。”
“可是我想來帶你去吃乾撈面。”
下個月吧,不如。”
“不見不散。”

一個月后,我在另外一個部門看見了他的藥物檢測報告。他又進院了。這次不是因爲化療而入院。

沒想到,那一次在病房他媽媽煮給我們吃的午餐,是我和他的第一餐,也是最後的一餐。
沒想到,那一次在病房裏他請我們醫務人員吃的蛋撻,是他送我們的第一個,也是最後一個禮物。
沒想到,那一次在微信的聊天記錄,就再也不會有後續了。

現在,也有一年多了吧?
我一直都記得,
我們説好的乾撈面,
我們説好的自拍照,
還有你傳達給我的那份對生活的積極態度。

像小孩一樣,
就因爲一個果撻而甜蜜滿足。
就因爲一位朋友而雀躍喜樂。

You are their eyes, do help them.

I suck at singing, I really do. But this STUPID fact has never stopped me from holding (conquering) a microphone in a Karaoke room. Anyway, today I am not sharing something about Karaoke or Melody or Songs. Yea, song, maybe. There was a song, that I really loved to sing, because I thought it was so positive.

The song's name is 你是我的眼 (You are my eyes). Who on this Earth could  express this song really perfectly? I believe it is him, only him, 蕭煌奇. He is a blind guy. And "the Eye", I believe it refers to his parents, who have taken care of him since young, "describe" colours to him, and help him to adapt to this colourful world in a BLACK-COLOURED way. 

Anyway, I am not sharing this guy or this song in this article. Okay, so, I was very much interested in this guy 蕭煌奇, and so I searched for some videos of his on Youtube. I do not know how many videos of his I have watched, including his song MVs or his attendance to some shows. I do not remember all those MVs and shows to be honest, except one (well, at least I did not forget it).

That show, was a show that invited few blind mans for interview. Some questions, which I think they are really useful in the real life, were brought out. For example, Do they need our sympathy? Do they hope to get our attention? What makes blinded people feeling scared the most? How do we help them? and so on. 

Alright, I will try my best to recall the answer. So,
1. Do they need our sympathy or attention.
Ans: That depends on that particular person and their needs.

2. What makes blinded people feeling scared the most?
Ans: Kind-heartened people who wanted to help them yet used the wrong way. For example, how to lead the way. 

So, how to lead the way? 

You are not supposed to hold their hand and expect them to be like you bestie and walk like a boss. You may think, we also hold children like that, now these blinded people are adults, so there shouldn't be any problem. No, A BIG NO. Please bear in mind that they couldn't see. If you hold their hand to lead them to anyway, they would be scared to hell. This is because, when you hold their hand, your arm, and his/her arm can actually swing to a wide extent (vertically 360 degree, or to the front, or to the back, very flexible), and so he/she could not predict what is in the front and which direction you want them to go.

Instead, you should stand in front of him/her, and put his/her hand on your shoulder, and walk slowly. So when you turn left or right, he/she would know, because the movement of shoulders can hardly be flexible. More importantly, when you are walking up or down the staircase, they would know by detecting the height of your shoulder. 

Lastly, why do I suddenly wanna share about this? hahaha, I am just way too happy that I knew what to do when I saw a blind guy few days ago, who walked under rain. And yay, feeling so good to be able to help people, although it was just few steps for him. 

*Not all blinded people are blinded totally. Some of them could still see the shadow, like black and blacker in their sight. So please do not worry about your capability, just go ahead, they would really appreciate you (of course, please do not hold their hands like you hold your girlfriend, use your shoulder).
