悔不当初
九年前的今天,恩师邱大成因患脑溢血突发,抢救无济而离世。病发当晚,我突然有一股冲动,很想上他家看看他。但是XPL把我拦住了,说什么又不是过节,哪能说上去就去,等几天过圣诞节再去见他。结果,第二天我们就在医院的加护病房见了,只是老师已不省人事了。
从此悔恨的就没离开过。大家都劝我,如果那天我真上去了,气死他的将会是我。因为,死神注定是要把他走的。可是,我还是耿耿于怀,总觉得欠他太多了。
别的同学上大学专业课的课时是每节课45分钟,一星期两节。我上课却是一整个上午。从早晨8点到吃了中午饭,午休时间不是讲故事给我听,就是一起看曲艺节目中的评书。不然,就是一起研究古筝的码子、琴弦等方面构造上与音色的课题。除了扮演教师的角色,邱老师同时也肩负了父亲的任务,甚至比亲生的还像。生活上的大小事无一不管。逢年过节都是在他们家过。周末也没有不去的,就如自己家似的。只是当年太吝啬了,总觉得时间不够用、全部的心思都用在学习上。所以,我讨厌周末,很不情愿地回家吃饭、培着玩。师母喜欢“升级(类似桥牌的游戏)”,认为这个游戏不仅对活动脑细胞有益,还是社交活动的必需品,就逼着我学、打错牌时还得挨骂。
我们就这样过了4年,到后来,我甚至可以还没上课就知道老师会说什么。为了我的发展,他也大方地安排把我换给林玲老师。换了老师后,我也乐得过些自由的日子。三个月后,邱老师逝世时大家都没了依靠,我还有林老师。就是每次想起他在死前最后对我说的一句话竟是:“有空要回家里来”,我也就只能难过。或许这样的感觉会一直存在,永远无法释怀。心再痛也是活该。

I Believe

This afternoon, I told the class, “我不相信你们会做得不好(I do not believe that you all would do it not well)”. Some students commented that I should phrase it as, “我相信你们会做得好 (I believe that you all could do well).” I told them the former is suitable for writings with the set requirement of a high minimum number of words, while the later is best for summary writings with a low maximum number.
In this case, however, they should have different implications. Not my gibberish, I hoped, product of my high temperature these few days.

Your question is not mine; my problem is not yours. Why?

Nowadays,
students are always very worried about me. They would constantly urge me to find a life partner.
My standard answer: Don’t worry, I could get myself a maid.
They, however, think that a maid is not the perfect solution.
My perfect solution: I could move to an Old Folks Home where there will be many companions.
Unfortunately, they are still unhappy with this.
To satisfy them: You all could visit me with your children to keep me company in the future.
Nowadays,
I always have to worry. Although, students want to participate in performances, graded examinations, and competitions, they are not working towards their goals. In fact, they are drifting away. What could I do?
Nowadays,
we are just not connected properly.

Ridiculous Me

Yesterday, while we are struggling to rectify the off-tuned Ti (7) by increasing the tension of the pressed string to produce a slightly higher pitch, an idea struck me. I, then, told the class that we should organized a field trip to observe the tea plantations in Cameron Highlands .
Why?
This is to remind us that “teas” are grown on “high” lands.
