大學，無可否認地，是影響人生極大的重要階段。肉，踏入了新加坡南洋理工大學，而骨，則進入童年時期夢寐以求的馬來亞大學。（鎧毅：“沒法子，小時候就只懂這一間大學。”）

這是“肉骨茶前傳”三部曲的最後一集，想不到十五年的光景能在這短短數天内快速重溫，寫到這裡，不禁有點感慨：時間過得好快哦~

University, undoubtedly is an important stage in our life. Bak, had stepped into gate of Nanyang Technology University of Singapore, while Kut had entered University of Malaya which he used to dreamed of during his childhood. (Kai Yit: “No choice lah, because I only knew UM when I was small.”)

This is the last part of Trilogy of “15 years before Bak Kut Teh”, really can’t imagine the time flying by so fast, having feeling of nostalgia~

2006年初，好不容易熬過了STPM這個寒冬，終于等到了溫暖的春風。肉和骨Form Six畢業後，在同一傢律師樓打工，然後一起辭職，再一起開啓他們人生第一次的背包旅行（同行者還有一位中六的好友：國強）。

他們用一個星期的時間，走完北馬三州（玻璃市、吉打和檳城）。從乘搭十三個小時的火車到半島最北端的Arau，到行腳走完整個Alor Setar，再遊遍大半個檳島。

Year of 2006, finally had passed through that hellish STPM, what was awaiting them a breeze of spring. After graduated from Form Six, Bak and Kut got a part time job in a legal firm. After worked for 3 months, they resigned and started their first ever backpacking trip (another companion was Kok Keong, their form six’s best friend).

They spent a week time to travel the whole Northern States of Malaysia (Perlis, Kedah and Penang). They suffered 13 hours in KTM train until reached the terminal Arau, and then they walked the entire city of Alor Setar. And finally, travelled most parts of Penang island.

這次的旅行讓他們見識到北馬人民獨特的文化，尤其是那裏的人幾乎都說福建話。在那之前，鎧毅還認爲廣東話是大馬華人的通用語。= =lll

這次的背包旅行，對文明來説是個序曲，啓蒙了他在日後壯遊柬越港澳的理想。

2006年7月，大學生活正式開始了，肉與骨的友誼終于跨越了國界……

This journey had made them comprehend the unique culture of northern people, especially most of the Chinese there speaking Hokkien. Before that, Kai Yit had thought that Cantonese was universal language for Chinese Malaysian. = =lll

For Boon Ming, this backpacking trip was his prologue for his travel dreams, and has enlightened him in later journey in Cambodia, Vietnam, Hong Kong and Macao.

July of 2006, the beginning of campus life, the friendship of Bak and Kut finally went beyond the boundary of land…

21嵗了，鎧毅和文明終于來到了人生的及冠之年。而鎧毅送給自己21嵗的禮物就是，一個人背包到新加坡，拜訪久未見面的文明，一同在島國壯遊了五天。在文明的導遊下，他們走遍了大半個新加坡，也讓鎧毅認識了這個一水之隔的鄰邦。

21 years old, Kai Yit and Boon Ming came to their age of mature. The gift Kai Yit given to himself was, backpacked alone to Singapore for paying a visit Boon Ming and of course traveled around the island state. Under Boon Ming’s guiding, Kai Yit got to know this neighbour country well.

時空斗轉星移，從公元1994年一下子就來到了十五年後的今天。十五年了，人生有多少個十五年？十五年，看似悠悠漫長的歲月，但也像白駒過隙的瞬間那麽快。

Stars changed while time passing, AD 1994 eventually came to its 15 years later. Tell me, how many 15 years shall we have in our life? 15 years, it seems long, but it is flashing when it came to us.

如果有一個手足知己在你的生命中某個十五年佔據了重要地位，那肯定是人生的一大幸事。寫到最後，感恩上天讓我認識了文明，一位亦師亦友的夥伴。感恩。

If there is a companion shares a 15 years memory with you, that’s surely a gift to you life. In the end, I would like to thanks God to let me know Boon Ming, a companion who is my teacher and my friend. Thank you.
