天气

蔚蓝的一片天,滚滚热浪,加上郁闷的湿气,不作事也会汗流狭背,刚冲好凉又冒汗了。二儿子克彦说,“美里太热了,又加上露天焚烧,而且又是油城,我们这里热疯掉!”美里,肯定会比诗巫热。大儿子在古晋,似乎好点,每天会下阵雨,但还是驱不走闷热的暑气。我想我们最羡慕小儿子,他在英国,春天的温度介于五至十七八度之间,非常凉爽。据我所知,英国的春天总是充满着生机。到处翠绿一片,清新的空气,凉凉习习微风。难怪,鸟儿柏在枝头,都显得消摇自在,尽情欢唱,在清晨里先向上帝献上悦耳动听的感恩之歌。出外只需加件毛衣,轻便写意。冬天,一件内衫,加件毛衣,再穿上大衣,最后还要披上又厚又重的冬装,才敢上路。那种笨重的感觉,让我想到大象,拍出来的照片象只熊猫,所以我喜欢春天。当年,我就在伦敦渡过五年春夏秋冬的留学生涯。
曾经有位已故政治家去英国公干,回到砂拉越感到自己大开眼界,很是得意。逢人就说,“英国实在是富有的国家,到处都有冷气,连街上也不例外。”我们听了不禁莞薾,但他的族群相信的人不少,羡慕的人更多,毕竟他们的代表是有料的。我们不可以取笑他们的无知,但听了这则笑话至少也开心了起来。
最近印度四十四度的热浪造成三十多个人死亡,其中大多是老年人和贫穷的人。老年人体弱,穷苦的人流落街头,无处避暑,甚至连水都没得喝,怎么能生存下去?我们有了风扇还要加冷气,该向上帝感恩。
圣经说,“人饥饿不是没有饼,口渴不是没有水,乃是因为没有听上帝的话。”我们的地球生病了,环境污染,生态被人类肆意破坏,恐怖战争的蹂躏,带来只有无可避免的饥荒,疾病,灾难与死亡。世界本来是美好的,上帝看着都觉得甚好!什么都应有尽有,但为什么会演变成今天的局面?看我们人类的自私自利,贪心,可恶,就知道了。世人如果还不知醒悟,没有环保意识,那我们这地球的天气会变化得更快更可怕。
近来很多人都提倡制造酵素,我也是响应者之一。感觉是能废物利用,不制造垃圾,又能施肥,净化环境,何乐不为?况且,作个环保份子,人人有责,因为我们是上帝的管家。要尽心作到最好,才是忠心的好管家。

  1. You're right mum, the spring season in the UK is just brilliant and whilst many have changed since you left England, I'm pretty sure most haven't.

    I think it's better to live in a country with seasonal changes, it makes life more interesting and also provides a convenient reason to put on different types of clothings during different seasons!(you don't expect to see a person walking around in Sibu wearing a winter coat do you?)

    Having said those, Malaysia is still THE best, the great food and my great family. =)

  2. Hi,son.So good to hear your comment especially the last sentence, or, well the last 3 words, my great family.
    Home is where your heart is, right? Make the most while you are in UK, enjoy the seasonal changes.

  3. Just an update.

    The weather's getting from cooling to warm these days, summer time I suppose. Perhaps I'd like to reconsider what I said in the previous post, warm weather is NOT good, at all.

    Oh wait, but I do miss(or maybe I just need to make up my mind!!) the warm weather in Malaysia, spicy food, crazy perspiration and having BBQ'ed food!! Cooled watermelon to go with it anyone?

  4. We have plenty of water melons to go around, crispy, juicy and very sweet type.I could eat 5 pieces (each half inch thick)at any one time, but guess what? I started to cough until now.Real nasty "croaking sound" indicating plenty of phlegm,I regretted my indulgence in food.Eat in moderation , when you come come.Yes, the BBQ sessions will be on, this time, we will not miss out the lovely prawns and fresh sweet corns.Lovely and yummy.^!^

  5. We should also try grilling some squids, I'm sure that'd be amazing as long as we marinate them one day in advance. =)

  6. Sure, and don't forget bananas too, as your English friends had told you.Then when you go back to Bristol, you can share with them your experience.
