新年黃梨酥卷、圍爐
為了感染一點農歷新年的氣氛,我要Steve和我一起做做馬來西亞的華人新年糕…我們做了黃梨酥卷(Pineapple Nastar Roll)。第一次試做,分為四天做完,因為煮好的黃梨醬的量,不知是要配幾多的麵粉團,第一天煮黃梨醬,第二、三、四天做麵粉團及烘烤,才終於用完黃梨醬。做好後很滿意又好吃,送一些給朋友吃,感受歡樂。
美國中部的Missouri州St. Louis市的農歷新年似乎並没什麼人慶祝,不像一般(至少馬來西亞的華人)是很注重在自己家人團聚吃團圓飯,因為這兒没有農歷新年假期,有些在美國住久了的已不把它當是節日了。
我很想念與馬來西亞檳城家人吃火鍋圍爐的情景… 還好這里有佛光山寺有給信徒一起除夕圍爐及辭歲普佛。我和先生就到那去吃素食火鍋及拜願…
初一適逢星期天,我和先生到美中佛教會,那兒是例常每星期天都有靜坐及開示的。初一這天顯得比平時多人,繼如法師用英語開示,應農歷新年而講十二生肖。過後誦懺文及諗八十八佛等…
那兒星期天也例常有供素食午餐,年初一特加了火鍋… 我們帶了一些黃梨酥卷和大家分享,空幻法師(馬來西亞人)說她很久没吃過這黃梨酥卷了,她很喜歡,我很高興!

虎說八道 HAPPY TIGER YEAR

Where is home?
In the turbulent days after the last Dynasty in
A lot of Chinese migrated
Dad followed his sister to the
To
He worked very hard and did many kinds of jobs
Mom followed her mother to the
To
She married, had kids and was thrifty
They just wanted a simple safe living
If not because of the messed community
Who would want to leave their hometown
Suffered with homesick and inconvenienced
Be conscientious and contented
From a red identity card changed to citizen
Sweet life after sweating
This is the hometown where kids were born and grew up
They yelled and celebrated
Here is home
Parents stayed until resting in peace outside their hometown
Their kids make effort and contribute to the country
Other people’s kids also make effort
Other people’s grandkids make effort too
But the community is becoming mess
It doesn’t look like an ideal home anymore
They try to leave their home
To find a place where they can smile and rest in peace outside their hometown
*This article is to thank my late parents and others who contributed to

Naked picture
Wind and Tree meet and are happy
Both have nothing to do after chatting
One asks: How about playing a game?
One reply: Sure!
Agreement: The loser takes one thing off each time
Rock Paper Scissors
Tree loses at first
Rock-paper-scissors
Tree loses again
Rock-paper-scissors
Tree loses again and again
Rock-paper-scissors
Tree has almost lost
Wind looks at Tree with nothing left
Enjoying and laughing loud
And sneaking to take the naked Tree’s picture
Upload it on the web

iHat
After I watched the movie “Avatar” in 3D, I found its story about the greed and ignorance of some human beings. In order to get the resources from another planet, humans just destroy their environment. On the other hand, the aliens are living in natural way. They would not kill beings without reason, even though they need to hunt for food, they are grateful to those beings. They also have the ability to connect to plants and animals, understanding and accepting each other. They appreciate each other staying together there.
Another thing, it lets me think about human creativity in science and technology…
Movies are an entertainer for the eyes and ears, especially in 3D. We put on the glasses for the 3D movie, and we experience close to living pictures.
I imagine at movies in the future; we will put on an ‘iHat’. We will experience the same emotions, like joy, anger, sadness, happiness, etc., as the characters in the movie, and also the feelings like kissing, hugging, being beaten, being killed, etc, all from the script of the movie… After the ending, you take off the iHat, and you are back to the real world in the theater. Do you think it is possible to have this kind of creation?
I think nothing is impossible in the future if the earth still exists for several years.
