九辩明真理 沉默不是金

上面是第9届马来西亚全国大专华语辩论赛的主题。我程度不高,做不出什么解析。只是觉得好听、顺口。就偷拿来用了。

这个星期是亚太大专辩论赛的烽火连三月的时刻。恰巧在南大由中文学会举办,好几位朋友都在筹委团里。要不是现在需要实习,当时就应该会前去面试,当筹委过干瘾了。


http://www.apchinesedebate.com.sg

辩论赛现在是在初赛阶段。网上有了录音就去听听了。
个人意见:官网上筹委的照片不很专业,一些头发穿着等放在官网感觉不太好。不少地方也被网友指出的(参赛者性别、错别字等),整个赛会会因这些小问题让人留下不好的影响涅。

第二场初赛:自由贸易比保护贸易有利国家发展
(正)上海交通大学 对垒 (反)马来西亚工艺大学

一如往常,大马的辩手通常会有一些小计谋:自由辩论的时候一开始用很少的时间来发言,快速发出一道又一道的问题要求对方回答。而另一方[通常是中国队]就会长篇大论,想要论证些己方的观点。最后,大马辩手那一方就会在对方时间用尽后,剩下不少时间来轮流开讲,说些对自己较为有利但很可能被反驳引起争论的论点。比较上来说,风度好像不太好。从小看辩论,这招看了无数次啊!

看大马辩手的比赛,一是因为亲切感,会听到联邦腔和带有大马风味的例子。二来大马辩手传统上会有非传统的招式,阐述中夹有令人莞尔的幽默,为观众在紧张中带有丝丝的轻松写意。再来大马队在国际辩论舞台上也算是种子队,带有小期待去看的比赛,蛮爽的!

这场的辩题,我觉得应该是经济学年终考的题目:讨论着自由贸易及保护贸易。感觉说不像是个典型的辩论赛题目。毕竟,小弟认为自由贸易和保护贸易的用意不尽相同,而很多时候都需要两边相辅相成才能达到所谓的国家发展。先保护再开笼。所以会看到双方辩论的时候,感觉都在撮墙角,没什么论点是可以你来我往唇枪舌剑的。

最后由正方获胜,反方总结为最佳辩手。一个典型比分贴近的比赛结果。
接下来几天应该会听完辩论才睡觉了 ^^

今天休假,身在南大,理应去看看一两场。但是没人陪*悲* 初赛四的竞争在教育里是必要的看题目就知道会好看了~
不过会去看星期日的大决赛!

Klog Week 7 - Mentos. KBox. Big Brain


Once again i would like to stress that. IRONING SARX

It was a very happening and also one of the slackiest weeks for me. Spent most of the time crowd around the Prophet corridor or corners in the office where we wont be spotted for snake-eating, while a section of the department was away for some conference.

Tuesday. When I woke up, the room was a little bit brighter than usual. Checked the time and I was terribly later than usual. 8.00 am. Wad the. Decided to do mentos stunt since it was impossible for me to reach office on time anyway. Took bus from the hall bus stop and then transferred to the train before arriving at the office tower. It was 9.30 am. Deliberately bring nothing to work that day so that I look as if I just came back from, perhaps, the pantry when I step into the actuarial dept. Haha. And it worked, the mentos stunt.

Thursday. Went for the long awaited k-session after work. Over the dinner at Macs, discovered that I was actually not alone who did the Year 1 heroic action. It was amazing to find connections and to draw similarities with people who have been always around you, but you just got to know them much better through chances like, for example, coincidentally intern-ing near to each other’s office during the attachment period. Haha. Anyway it was a great fun night. Four of us sang till our voice cracked. And we decided that for next time, the sequence of the songs has to be revised based on the difficulties. Haha.

While waiting for some mega macro to run that day, Senior J seated next to me. I asked him about the ultimate pricing sheet for a new product. Asked him about the secret method to see through the thousands of inter-sheet connected cells in excel.
“You need to have a very big brain, to be able to do your mind map, and to visualize everything in it.”
Big brain eh.

Am feeling lucky to be in this department of the company. At least, I get to do actuarial-related-though-mundane stuff, not having time to doze off and being the topic of discussion of co-workers from the other departments. Oops.

And realized that, I am a pig. Ben Si Le.

联邦腔

就是所谓的大马人说华语的腔调
特有的乡音一听就听得出 非常有地方性
之前麻坡的华语火红得不得了
但是其实想一想 其实大马不只麻坡人酱紫讲话

之前梁导的阿窿电影 联邦腔用得淋漓尽致
有人说是在调侃大马华人
有人说很有亲切感

我没有对此引以为傲
但是也不会说嗤之以鼻还是什么
只是觉得说 语言应该要标准
语言没有标准性? 我不相信
阴阳上去 是"摆美"的吗?

狮城的朋友说我讲话有联邦腔
大马的朋友说我讲话偏高 有新加坡腔
中国的朋友说我的普通话很标准
说我不像是马来西亚人
(Orz 我们都带有什么标签啊?)
看来我变得不伦不类了

我自认华语讲得还算标准 虽然偶尔会有一两个巴刹用语
但是所谓什么阴阳顿挫 基本用词
多亏父母、小学老师教导有方 小弟才终身受用不尽

因为要让差异更为明显 让自己的身份更为鲜明
开始了研究联邦腔这个东东
搞出了一个讲联邦腔的诀窍
也可以说是联邦腔与所谓标准华语的差别

1. 凡是遇到第四声的字 把它变成第一声 念得轻一点
2. 凡是遇到第一声的字 把它降两个全音 举例说本来是E变成C
3. 选择性的 把"上上"组合的词 不要变调 比如说 我喜欢

试验了许多次 这三招百发百中
不信的话重头念这篇文章 不要边念边偷笑!

The Kite Runner


Bought this book today after i had my tertiary student ezlink replaced (done cost-benefit analysis and i can save a little for myself even after all the hassles of reporting the loss, taking ID photo, went to the wrong ticket station, realised that dont have enough cash with me yada yada) Next time should just go to JE to make the card instead of going thru Student Affairs Office(SAO). It saves you the trouble of walking up hill to the Himalayan SAO building.

To be more precise, bought this book after i decided to not buy another one. The Five People You Meet in Heaven. An inspiring book that i read back in year 2005 i think. Wanted to buy it, re-read the book and keep it for long.

I know nothing about the book before i unwrapped it and read the praise quotes in it and some other info from wikipedia. Jas from 08 blogged about it quite some time ago and some bloggers from mybloggercon recommended it thru their blog posts also. Alors, just buy it lor.

A bit irrational huh. for a super-lazy-to-read kinda person like me.
Hope will have the time to read it.

传灯 为了生命和血缘


继上次的南大校友之旅后
昨天星期六我们迎来了第四及第九届毕业生
聚会点燃了一盏盏失去联系的灯火
40多年从不见面 昨天我成为桥上的一根小钉
让学长前辈们 重温旧梦

<警告:内附诱人美食照 肚饿者勿往下看>


游览巴士 - 我和搭档负责的是第一辆车上的28位前辈
校方很没有诚意的让我们用同一篇稿来解说
我也很没有诚意的全程念稿


巴士仿佛像时光机般 把大家都带回来校园
"你的眼睛变小了" "你还是一样没有变咧"
"这棵榴莲树是以前一起种的"


团体照 有人不专心 专业摄影师不看看过来


轻轻一触 好像启动了记忆里的开关
灵魂飘进了回忆里


在南大图片展里 转了一圈又一圈
舍不得的回忆与过去


旧旧的学生证 图书卡 会刊


我和搭档远翔摄于华人图片展里的镜子魔幻迷宫


校园游览完毕 第四届生物系校友接过我的主持棒 高谈阔论
原来他是待会儿大会的嘉宾司仪


晚宴开始之前 我们一字排开 让前辈们注意地上的小坑 以防跌倒
等着等着 就随性玩起<超级比一比> 哈哈


前辈们在年份牌匾前拍照留念


南洋大礼堂楼梯排排站 这是63年次毕业生和校方显要人物合照


葡萄美酒夜光杯 接下来是食指大动的时刻啦!


杂布朗冷盘 寿司 热狗卷 叉烧 鱿鱼 奶油虾 芋角酥 鸟窝鸡


鱼翅鸡汤 还有干贝 别称"干瑶柱"


烧鸭 瘦瘦的肉 吃了嘴巴不会油油 哈哈


竹笋炒带子 带子是清清凉凉带嚼劲的 本人喜欢!*恍然大悟: 原来带子是鲜贝 干贝的前身!


清蒸红斑 鱼肉分量很足 却没有很鲜
但须考虑到我们是在遥远的南大礼堂里 食物鲜度会有多少折扣吧


蓝莓巧克力奶油蛋糕 和去年的一样好吃!


炸奶油虾 也没有很鲜的软趴趴虾肉 所以才出此下策拿来炸吧
本人对虾的喜欢程度过于鲜度的不足 肚子饱涨程度又胜于对虾的喜欢程度
所以最后是终极密码解决


长寿面 吃了两小碗 要是肚子没那么饱的话会多吃一点
最后邻桌帮忙解决掉了


芒果白果芋泥 到甜品时已经是九分饱了 为什么不来点清甜帮助消化的咧


整个晚宴最年轻的一起合照

后记
感觉上校方举办此举会的意思浅浅 当然另一方面对校友前辈来说是意义重大的
发现一些非学生工作人员对工作不是很有热诚 说话不甚礼貌 可能是周末还需工作的原因吧
宴会的食物好像不是很适合年届六七十的前辈咯
差点赌输$100! 南大校长到每一桌去敬酒时 夸下海口说赌$100 他不会过来和我们学生小咖敬酒
结果他真的有来! 幸好他们没有接下赌注
原来南大里有榴莲树! 有谁要组团分工每晚去等榴莲掉?
这次好像比上次好玩多了 应该是大多都蛮熟络的关系吧~
12 july 还有多一次 有谁要一起来大鱼大肉吗?

Signal

I dont know how to read the signal
Sometimes it is positive
Sometimes it is the other way round
All these seems to be like an illusion
killing me softly.

What i used to believe in
Does it still hold true now?

情非得以 - in BM

当年流星花园时代的时候十分火红的[情非得以]
马来版好像是前年2006的歌曲
虽然歌词几句看了会噗哧一笑
但是也不错听啦 精神还在 意境还有



Ku Juga Mencintai Mu - Saiful
(verse 1)
sukarnya tukku melupakan
sinar matamu yang menawan
terbayang-bayang
tiap masa
senyumanmu menggoda

kehangatan terasa di jiwa
tika kau lafazkan tak cinta
nafas terhenti seketika
seakan sukarku percaya
whoo..oo.oo

(chorus)
ku juga mencintai diri mu
mengapa sukarku luahkan
bukan sengaja ku menahan
bibir membeku
lidah terkelu

ku juga mencintai diri mu
kau amat sempurna buatku
bukan saja aku biarkan
kan ku ucap jua padamu

(verse 2)
sukarnya untukku ucapkan
ku takut akan kehilangan mu
akan ku buat segalanya
untukmu kekasihku
cuma satu yang belum terluah
kalimah cinta kau nantikan
bila masa dan ketika
tidak dapat ku menjawabnya
whoo...oo...oo

(repeat chorus)

semalaman ku menunggu panggilanmu
pabila terdengar suaramu
ku terlupa segalanya
whoo..oo

(repeat chorus)

kan ku ucap jua padamu

En Armonia - NJHB@Esplanade Recital Studio


Les Billets de Concert "En Armonia"


The Alumni at green room and SY thought he successfully avoided the cam.


Donuts from the j4 2nd chro! Haha ya i agree that it's more practical than flowers :D"" Thanks!!!


My 2nd Esplanade Tag, HB group photo and the Alumni card from HB.

At first it was the esplanade tag at the security counter. YS and ZB came to pick me up as they are not involved in the sound of music piece. Went to the green room and had my dinner with alumni guys. and very soon, concert started after i went for a little short prac/personal rehearsal on the stage (as i missed the formal rehearsal).

the oldfolks was watching the concert from the green room tv tog with guitarists and guest pianist. and i think they played much better than the preview. can see their expressions and music was more synchronised and best part is, Mr Tang was kinda conduct with power thruout[which means that he's kinda enjoying himself]!

My first time watching the band playing on stage actually. and then the talentime performance and the exco, the small groups. They are really pattern many with all the lightsticks, the hats, the acting and stuff. Altho some were quite redundant, in my view la. Audience might just catch no ball and the performers will end up like shiok sendiri. for eg, the harmoc drama and mayb the mime's moves.

Alumni item was super emo. was the best compared to our previous pracs/performance despite some little mistakes that i think was insignificant overall.Wonder if there's any photo of the group taken during the piece?

Still think the concert was great despite some comments like hearing the shoes noise throughout the concert, too many movements in-and-out and the awkward ending after encore. Seeing all their efforts and hardwork. the determination of the pres, the student conductor, the SLs and of course the oldfolks! A big step out of Ann Jay See, at the esplanade recital studio. NJHB still rawks!

Almost all went to McD for supper after that. Alumni played the super lame Maomao game introduced by yours truly. and to our surprise, the pure and innocent game actually led to some 18SX contents as the game progresses! Whaahaha.

Reached hall at around 1am. and shit. there's work tmr.

英超联赛冠军杯 Barclays Trophy


哇 一大清早电梯外的走廊就大排长龙~又有免费早餐不成?


非也~非也 原来是英超联赛冠军杯的东南亚一游
今天来到本公司大楼
公司上上下下都来一睹这个重达25kg的奖杯的风采


全程就像是记者招待会版,有摄记、有保安、有美女
还有我为你做的特别报道。
其中一位员工还全家出动,带了穿着曼联球衣的儿子来拍照~
我还以为是特地安排的儿童模特儿咧


拍拍拍!据说过后此奖杯会移师到义安城
要拍照可要收费的咧!


最满意的一张 (: 可惜自己没有挤到前面去和奖杯合照...


警卫大哥也是一脸哀怨
明明酱靠近却只能眼睁睁看着别人拍到爽


今天有相机完全是巧合,考虑到晚上演奏会可能会用到吧。小弟我其实不是足球迷。喜欢看的不是比赛,而是联赛的积分榜走势、队伍的数据。哇哈哈。现在目前是欧锦热,大家似乎都在热烈的讨论着!
