肉骨茶前傳之細水長流十五年 15 years before Bak Kut Teh (Part Two)

小學同學,若失去了聯絡,就猶如斷了綫的風箏,或許永遠再不會見面。十年前的世界,不像今天那樣幸福,個個人手一機,msn、facebook等一大堆方便的道具佔據著人與人聯誼的橋梁。

公元1999年相對今天來説,仿佛是遠古的中世紀。那時候,人類文明剛剛進入資訊工藝時代,電郵和互聯網還未普及化,手機依然屬於高檔的奢侈品,這對欲維繫友誼的小鎧毅和小文明來説,是個極大的挑戰!

If we lost contact with our primary schoolmates, we hardly could meet again in the future. 10 years ago, unlike today people are so lucky that everyone of us is possessing a cell phone, while msn, facebook and lots of handy gadgets have made human interactions getting closer and easier.

Comparing to today’s world, AD1999 just like Age of Medieval. At that time, human civilization has just advanced into Era of Information Technology, email and internet still very NEW to us and cell phone still belonged to the RICHS. Under these circumstances, this no doubt was a great challenge to little Kai Yit and Boon Ming who wished preserve their friendship!

“希望我們之間的友誼永遠不斷!”(1999年的信件)
“Wished our friendship endures FOREVER!” (letter of 1999)

當時,鎧毅和文明個別居住在兩個相距五公里的不同地方,又個別升上兩個相距二十公里的不同中學,那到底他們是如何保持聯絡,掀開友誼的新一頁呢?

答案就是無數的書信、電話和互相拜訪。

Meanwhile, Kai Yit and Boon Ming were living in different towns and studying at different secondary schools which quite distant to each other. How on earth did their friendship make it?

The answers were numbers of MAILs, PHONEs and HOME VISITs.

文明升上了一所國中,鎧毅則進入一所獨中就讀。兩個截然不同的教育旅程,完全沒有交集的終點,照理上他們不會在課堂上再次相遇。

不知這是偶然的巧妙,或是上天的安排,肉和骨在五年後再次成爲同窗,那間課室是SMK Cochrane的Lower Six Science Two,而那一天正好是五年前的今日!

Boon Ming went into a national school, while Kai Yit had chosen a private high school. They got into two entire different education systems, supposedly they would not meet in classroom again.

Perhaps this was so called coincident or divine intervention, Bak and Kut became classmates again after their 5 years split. The classroom which brought back was Lower Six Science Two of SMK Cochrane, and the day they met again was exactly today of AD2004!!

友誼的建立!(文章刊登在2006年5月28日的星報)
Friendships formed! (The Star’s article dated May 28, 2006)

U6S2的確是很棒一班!許多難於忘記的美好記憶都來自這一班,我們甚至在畢業典禮上奪得最活躍之班(也是最吵鬧的,哈哈)!!

青年時期的肉和骨在STPM生涯中掀開了友誼新的篇章。在考試上他們是強大的競爭對手,而在追求知識上他們是互相扶持的夥伴。

U6S2 really was a great class!! Lots of unforgettable wonderful memories happened in this class, we even won the Most Sporting Class (the most noisy too, haha) award in our graduation night!!

Teenage Bak and Kut continued their friendship in SPTM life. They were powerful competitors during examinations, while they were helpful companions in pursuing knowledge.

文明和鎧毅再一次共同奮戰、再一次同台得獎!這一次,都愛創作的肉和骨,成爲當時台上得獎者的唯一非馬來人,可謂華人之光!

鎧毅有話要說:“誰說我的國語很差!?哈哈,其實這次能得獎,全靠文明在我的作品進行多番的語言文法品質管理,非常感謝他。”

Kai Yit and Boon Ming struggled together and stood on same podium again!! This time, Bak and Kut who love to write, became the only Non-Malay winners on the podium!

Kai Yit here has some words: “Who said my Bahasa is lousy!? Haha, I won the prize, special thanks to Boon Ming, he ran several times of quality control on my Bahasa, really thanks a lot to him.”

快樂時光總是飛逝得特別快,一轉眼STPM生涯接近了尾聲。肉和骨開始找尋屬於自己的方向,追求自己的理想。Form Six結束後,理想讓他們再次分道揚鑣,但這一次是他們將分隔得更遙遠。

Wonderful time always flies by so fast and imperceptible, STPM life was getting to it end. Bak and Kut started to explore their direction and dream. Therefore, after Form Six, their dreams made them split again, but this time they split apart more distant.

文明毅然離開了自己的故鄉,爲了自己的理想而去了島國,然而鎧毅卻決定留在自己的家鄉。肉與骨的友誼終于跨越了國界……

Boon Ming decided to leave his beloved motherland, came to an island state for his dreams, while at the same time, Kai Yit stayed in his hometown. The friendship of Bak and Kut finally went beyond the boundary of land…
