镜镜乐道?
Abuse of 'scopes?


微不足道的事情有人会特意用顯微镜去详细观察它，而他们却将重大的事件以望远镜帮它转移至天涯海角。我们这些本来就是颠倒众生的，如今又被有心人士一而再、再而三地把是非颠倒过来，以是作非，以非作是，让我们失去焦点，作出错误的判断。
For trivial issue there are people who would use a microscope to examine it with greater details and try to blow it out of proportion whereas for issue of great concern to the public,  they would engage a telescope to observe it from afar so that the visibility could be reduced to near blindness so that the focus point of the issue is totally lost.
The abuse of 'scopes is intended for the diversion of issues.

The Fate of a Hair Dryer

吹风筒的命运

I was a hair dryer.

我是一只吹风筒。

I was treated like a slave working for long hours without pay and without food or drink.

我的遭遇有如一个奴隶。我每天的工作时间很长，可是我没得吃又没有工资拿。

You don't have to admire me for not ‘having office hours’ as I have to work at anytime of the day,  whenever there is a demand for my service.

您不需要羡慕我“没有办公时间” 因为在任何时刻只要客户有需要服务，我都要效劳。

One morning came a weird user who was over demanding. My work didn't finish at drying his hair. He wanted me to dry his whole naked body from head to toes.

有一天早上来了一个贪得无厌的怪客。我替他吹完头发他还不满意。他还要我为他的裸体从头吹到脚趾。

As a female hair dryer, I  was ‘over stimulated’ and  overstressed that my arm was accidentally broken. I was immediately admitted to the ICU of a private hospital for surgical treatment.

作为一名女性的吹风筒，我被他色情的挑逗乃至弄到我精疲力尽。最后因为他用力过猛我的手臂被他弄断。我得立刻被送进医院的加护病房就医。

Even though  I was entitled to claim from the insurance company, nevertheless it's pointless to do so as the money would still find its way to the pocket of my master.

虽然我可以申请工作意外保险赔偿，但是这无剂于事。原因很简单，所有的赔偿金都会落入头家的口袋里。

Thus, it was the fate of a slave as a hair dryer.

这就是作为一名奴隶般的吹风筒的命运。

Curi Ayam!

 上世纪六十年代的人们就像现在的越南人一般的身材，体瘦腰小。这种身材对现在的人们来讲是很难得一见的，是梦寐以求的。
个中原因是以前的人平时很少吃到猪肉或鸡肉。他们需要等到过年过节才能吃到肉。除非有亲朋好友从远道而来，才会杀鸡宰鸭来宽待他们。
所以以前人们都会在自己的后院养一些鸡鸭以备不时之需。那个年代鸡鸭要养上至少三个多月才能食用。

我母亲当年也有养鸡养鸭。每天她将家里的厨余参一些糠和穀去给鸡鸭吃。一般上鸡要吃乾的而鸭却要吃湿的。我有间接参与养鸡鸭是因为有时母亲会叫我去杂货店买穀或糠回来养家畜。以前我们自己养的鸡鸭不用嗺长剂或抗生素。所以自己养的鸡鸭可以算是属于有机的(organic 的)。
鸡肉是各大民族普遍都能食用的，所以“偷鸡摸狗”是当年小偷很普遍的活动之一。“Ada orang curi ayam!"在警察局报案的事件中在当年是婁见不鲜的。问题是报案归报案，真相永远无法“水落石出”。原因是鸡的头上没有写着主人的名字。鸡的羽毛被拔掉包拯也无从考证。况且鸡一转手就下肚子了。

事过境迁，今天各地的市政局已不允许家家户户养家畜了。只有农场才能大量的养鸡来卖。鸡养上一个多月就可以出售了。鸡的价钱随着成本的降低而让一般人都有能力购买了。小偷们不再去偷鸡；他们偷钱、抢钱比较直接和比较实际了。
