永遠懷念 四姑婆

四姑婆﹐真的捨不得你啊﹗以下是我的媽媽為四姑婆寫的悼念文章和詩歌﹕

永遠懷念 

蔣盧詠珊女士  

盧家淑女, 蔣氏賢妻良母, 前基愛副校長

生命不在乎長短, 只在乎是否活得精彩!

 讓我們藉此機會看看盧詠珊女士不太平凡的一生.

盧女士祖籍番禺, 父親少年來港營商, 故在本港出生. 六兄弟姊妹中排行最幼,

 正所謂"孻女孻心肝", 她既懂事, 又聰明伶俐, 故甚得父母鍾愛. 及長,

 以優異成績完成學業, 執教杏壇凡數十載!  盧女士與蔣偉文君邂逅,

 二人相遇相交相知相許四十多年, 育有子女各一, 子蔣建榮經商,

 女兒蔣淑儀與夫婿麥永健偕女兒楚晞移民楓葉國, 展開新生活.  盧女士退休後生活優悠, 倒也自得其樂.

 詎料禍起蕭場, 在某次身體檢驗時竟驟現癌魔縱影, 自此每日俱要跟癌魔搏鬥,

 於茲轉瞬五載餘, 盧女士戰至身心俱疲, 終告不治, 捨我們而去, 胡不悲哉?

盧女士天資聰穎, 舉一反三, 才堪倚馬, 行文神速, 援筆立就.

 而於數學亦成績斐然. 唸中學時屢次跳級, 仍以上佳成績完成學業,

 其父曾笑譽她為盧家"女狀元", 因以當時環境, 女子接受教育機會不多, 但女士求學心切, 不斷請求,

 終能如願, 故老父對其期望甚殷. 畢業後從事教育工作數十載, 期間作育英才,

 春風化雨, 諄諄善誘, 誨人不倦, 更難得者為與共事者和洽相處, 彼此關懷,

 退休前為聖公會基愛小學副校長, 肩負重任, 建樹良多而從無怨言,

 其教學熱誠正是堪為典範.

在家庭方面, 女士表現簡直無懈可擊, "父慈, 女孝, 兄友, 弟恭",

 全可在其身上體會到. 無論家人有任何困難, 她都一一施以援手,

 更常以"施比受更為有福"為鑑, 如此高義濃情, 委實世間罕見. 女士婚後與其良人志趣相投, 鶼鰈情深,

 唱隨之樂, 友儕稱羡. 其子女亦學有所長, 貢獻社會, 殊堪告慰.

 女士離世後其子女定當盡孝, 不令其有遺憾.

盧女士不單IQ高, EQ更高. 平日待人接物, 和藹可親, 從不疾言厲色,

 很少見她發怒, 此外, 其敬業樂業精神乃後輩學習之好對象. 綜觀其一生, 她自奉慳儉,

 然能人所不能, 忍人所不能忍, 急人所急, 仗義疏財, 樂觀豁達,

 在在表現'仁者不惑, 智者不憂, 勇者不懼'之氣概, 故無論前輩, 平輩, 後輩皆樂於與她親近,

 她驟然離世實令人深深感嘆.

不過, 人生自古誰無死, 逝者只是先走一步, 在世者應把握當下, 好好生活,

 讓她走得安心. 他日在天家, 我們定會相聚.

In Deepest Memory of Fourth Aunt

You really are an angel from heaven

You possess a heart of gold

You heal those who are in illness

You quench everybody's thirst

Your preachings are apt and appropriate

You are always ready to lend a helping hand

You have finished your earthly toil

It is time to lay down your cross

Though you have gone and perished

Your footprints WILL, forever, remain

On the Sands of Time

We are now in dismay

But. for sure, some day

We will meet again

We will meet again

 

四姑婆

親愛的姑婆﹐

謝謝你﹗你是我的人生中一位很重要的人﹗記得在我年少的時候﹐我常常到你家。你給我的印象是很好的﹐我最記得的是你常給予我的鼓勵﹐讚賞。你也很喜歡說理﹐因為你也是一位老師﹐你曾對我說﹐你不喜歡責罵人﹐你只是說道理﹐我會永遠保存這些點滴的記憶。你待人以誠﹐這是我最欣賞的。另外﹐你的脾氣﹐氣度也令人留下深刻印象﹐因為你永遠也是這樣的和藹可親﹐友善﹐從容不迫。

你一生努力教學﹐為你的學生付出時間﹐精神。你退休前是學校的副校長﹐盡心盡力為學生諞時間表。我記得我曾到你所任教的學校探望你﹗你也有很多好朋友﹐閒時你也很喜歡與朋友們玩草地滾球﹗

上星期四你終於決志信耶穌了﹐這是最值得我們感恩的事﹐我永遠記得你在病榻上點頭的情景。當林牧師問你是否願意信耶穌﹐你張開眼睛很堅定的點頭﹗後來你也願意在神和人面前受水禮﹐加入教會﹗這對我們全家來說真的是天大的喜訊﹗

上星期五晚上你終於回天家了﹗我們真的捨不得你啊﹗約定你﹐將來在天家﹐我們必定再重逢﹗

『的的得得』屋簷下UNDER THE HOOD

我昨天晚上與Ada看了這舞蹈表演Original Tap Show﹗其中最令我深刻的當然是梁美嘉Eve的表演﹐她曾是我的舞蹈老師。她的每一個動作也做得很仔細﹐很完美﹗我發現最難跳的舞是Tap﹗雖然我沒有膽量學﹐但我很喜歡看Tap的表演﹗還有﹐她仍能好好保持她的身形﹗她排的舞真的很好﹗暑假的時候我也有機會看她所排的High School Musical!!

令我很意外的是同場表演的兩位男士﹗他們所跳的舞步很複雜﹐令人目不暇接﹗眨眼也可能會錯過任何動作一樣﹗ Wong Tan Ki跳得很好﹐真的可以用一流來形容﹗令人留下深刻印象的當然是“單琦+雙琦=”一場﹗我們也忍不住在中途拍掌﹗而Ken所編的舞步很複雜﹐很好看﹗真的想一看再看﹗

Eve﹐ 謝謝你的邀請﹗若果再有表演﹐記得通知我們﹗我們一定棒場﹗加油啊﹗

Falling Leaves

Wow! I have been very very busy!  Of course with my school work as well as my dancing practice!  At the same time, I still keep reading books as this is my favourite hobby!

I just finished reading a book called "Falling Leaves" written by Adeline Yen Mah last month.  I must read the whole book as I broke a piece of wood last time during the day camp and on which was written this as my goal: I have to finish reading "Falling Leaves" by October this year.  So, I succeeded!  Haha! 

I first read another book which is more famous than this one called "Chinese Cinderella".  "Falling Leaves" is a sequel to this book.  It is just like an autobiography of Adeline.  She was born into a rich family in the mainland China.  Right after she was born, her mother died and that's why she was labelled as an unlucky girl.  She went through different ages through the history like the WWII and Cultural Revolution. 

Though she was treated badly by her step-mother, brothers and sisters, she persevered until the end. She pursued her studies in the UK and became a doctor.  Later, she even went to America.  I was really touched by her life as she was such a tough person.  She never gave up on anything.  Even she failed in her first marriage and gave birth to a son, she could still found her true love, Bob, till the end of her story. 

I cried when I read until the last part of the story.  Though she could get nothing from her step-mother's will, she found that her father's original intention was to include her as a part of his family.  Her father recognised her and was proud of her.  I was really touched.  Also, from her story, I found that Aunt Baba was a person of integrity and Adeline would surely remember the time when she looked after her.  We should treasure all the things done by our family members like our parents, siblings and our loved ones!! 

I think Adeline is a real good author as her style of writing is so fine and elegant.  I will surely recommend this book to my friends and students!!

舞蹈

最近﹐我不斷為爵士舞努力﹐奔波﹗ 首先﹐我為我所任教的學校開辦了爵士舞的學會。我以為我有這方面的經驗﹐但是因為今次要合作的舞蹈老師和學生也很不同﹐所以當中是有一定的難度﹗而學校也給我一點點的壓力﹐因為這個學會是一個最小運作三年的學會﹐所以要確保有“承傳”﹐而收生也有一定的難度﹗ 幸虧我們終於收了二十位學生﹐真是感謝神﹗現在要面對的是兩個比賽﹐我期望同學們能取得舞台上的經驗﹗

另外﹐我正十分努力練習不同的舞步﹐期望可以參加下年頭的Showcase﹐但現在又深怕自己應付不來﹐又怕不被老師選上﹐心情真是難以形容﹗昨晚的課堂是難度屬於最高的一堂﹐今天已很累了﹗我很想參與﹐但是奈何自己能力不高﹗無論如何﹐我只管努力﹐即使我未能達到目標﹐我也不會後悔現在所作的﹗神啊﹗求你帶領我吧﹗

Positive Thinking

Well!  My computer is not working very well and that's why I don't update anything in my blog!  Also, I have been very busy recently because of the new school term!!

Just before the new school year, we went to a two-day day camp.  During these two days, we learnt "Positive thinking"!  It promotes the idea of boosting everyone's confidence and self-esteem.  I was so impressed by it!

On the second day, we had to use our hand to hit a piece of wood.  At that time, I was frightened as my hands are not strong enough and I was not feeling well that day.  Later, I talked to myself, if I think I can, I can.  So, I prayed to the Lord to give me strength to do it.  I could not break it for the first time.  At the end, of course I managed to break the wood with my bare hand.  It's just like the trials in our daily life.  We face different challenges, obstacles and difficulties every day.  If we have faith in the Lord and do our best, we can eventually climb high mountains!

I also learnt how to think positively.  I always have pessimistic thinking and I try to change the values in my mind.  It's not an easy task but I hope I can think positively and be a cheerful person in the future. 

This year, I have to face a new class and until now, I find that most of them are willing to open their hearts when I try to get to know them.  It's a nice start for me!  Thx God!
