control

obviously, i need a space where i can spit everything to 
all my stress, my anxiousness, anxiety, miserable, etc
i am so shocked, how could i be so lost in control
how could i've let my anger controlled my emotion and thus my mind
i knew i was a bit too over just now
though the other side was not completely right as well
but i should not have started it 
what a embarrassing situations
i've wasted the time i spent on biz comm
even i received an A for that subject, but obviously i still do know how to make good use of it
and say something appropriate during the right time
should learn my lesson and never ever try to speak like that anymore :(

was wondering how my mood could turn out to be so bad recently
the biggest reason should be due to stress in studies
but i guess its not all of it, another side would be due to the fact that i have been looking forward to do things that i like but i have no time to spare on them
like attending dancing lessons, involving in community services, or a simple luxurious dinner will be nice enough to bright up my week
eventually, there will be so many EXCUSES that stop me from accomplishing them
i am not sure whats the starting point of it
but i'll remain as miserable as right now if i don't find a way to release them
i have to.

Live as if you were to die tomorrow




上个月我发现我另一个上司原来也是malaysian


我明白那种在异乡遇见同乡的温暖。很喜欢。
只是,他后来说了一句话以后,
这种温暖的感觉立即消失。
他说,“我已经转换成singaporean,而且我很少回去johor了。”
不是因为沮丧他不是马来西亚人,只是顿时错鄂为什么他很少回家。 
我很想问他的家人都不在johor吗。
可是最后还是没有问。



三个礼拜后。
他连续两天没来上班,说要回johor一趟。
好像是家里有些事。
今天,他回来上班,说他爸爸去世,所以回去办他的身后事。
顿时,除了一句对不起,大家都不晓得该说些什么。



原来他的家人还在马来西亚。
我很想知道他有没有后悔。
宁愿在新加坡努力工作赚钱养家,却没把一部分时间拨出来回家看父母。
或许有,或许没有,又或许他对父母的爱是藏在心里。
我没有资格去判断他对家人的爱。
只是因为最近有些新加坡人开始问我会不会限制一定要找马来西亚籍的男朋友。
我说没有限制,可是最好是马来西亚人。
不是因为我不能接受跟其他国籍的人交往。
只是我身边的表姐堂姐嫁给非马来西亚人以后,就很少回来。
不是因为他们不要,而是必须迁就她们的老公。
一年只有一次的新年,往往只能两年回家一次。

除非我有一天真的败给爱情,爱上一个非malaysian
不然,我都会以父母为主。
人生短短几十年,我希望尽量把时间留给他们。


Live as if you were to die tomorrow, but dream as if you were to live forever.

CSC


工作,还有手头上两个marketing director职位的义工项目。
把一个礼拜早上到晚上的时间塞到满满的。
我好像有点高估自己了。


社工是我一直以来想做的事。
别人会说我是为了争取住宿的机会而参加。
我不会反对,因为我承认这也是原因之一。
只是,它不是鼓励我去争取社工学会的职位最重要的因素。


我希望加入社工队可以改变我之前不好的想法和态度。
那个人家说商人必须具备的恶心态度-现实,
那个常常怨天尤人的态度,
那个常常等待人家付出的坏想法,
都要一一改掉。
因为,我不要继续成为爸妈呵护之下的小花朵。


与其说做义工可以帮助别人,我认为获益最多的其实是自己。
很多思想上的领悟和成长,都是会影响着日后自己的人生。
那种满足感,那种开心,不是花钱就可以得到的。

流逝的

就是那触目人心的一刻。
久久留在心里,无法忘怀。


你知道你无法停留在那一刻,无法放任自己,
在没有根深蒂固的时候,连根拔起。
连一丝的同情、不舍、留恋都不允许。



也许。
后来,会想念。
但是,也只是停留在那一刻而已。

想回家



媽媽我想回家。


可以跟公司辭職嗎?你幾時要回來?要不要我幫你訂車票?


我笑了。
眼眶泛起淚光,因爲感動。


一年前。


媽媽我想回家。


要辦退學嗎?什麽時候你要我過去把東西搬回來?要早點說噢,我要請假。



你的一個諒解永遠勝過他人的千言萬語。=)

Feeling



仰望蓝天白云,那隐藏着的感觉还能继续被壓抑吗?
逐渐感受到,那感觉是实实在在的存在。



还能够继续欺骗自己吗?

工作·记心情(2)

发现即便是半天请病假并附有MC也会被扣钱,老板们的反应居然比我这个领薪水的大。
在这建公司里,我是一个小小的intern。
我的直接上司是高级经理,然后到执行董事。
一看到我的薪水单,这位执行董事亲自跑了人力资源部一趟。
说没有生病补贴已经够惨,现在还要被扣薪水简直不合理。
人力资源部的人说这是规矩,他们做不了什么。

在旁工作的我虽然知道了薪水被扣有些不爽,但都抱着认命的心态。
intern就是这样子,又是廉价劳工,又是可以任人差遣。
六点跟首席营运官(COO)开会,报告我们部门的走向。
结束前,执行董事向他提起这件事,说是完全不合理。
最后coo说了很多理由,让他打退堂鼓。
回到座位,高级经理过来告诉我。


“以后如果MC你直接拿给我就好,不需要向他们报告,不然薪水白白被扣。“
“真的要确定自己不能生病吧…“
“这种事怎么能确定,就这样决定了。“


其实如果我在乎的是那几百块的话,我就不会来做这份工。
出乎意料的是,老板们居然会为intern打抱不平。
我真的感动。
不是每个老板都是冷血、置身其外的。
要报答他们,就是把工作做好,不给他们麻烦。


这是个刚成立的部门,比起其它部门,这里的工作量大很多。
可是,能够跟这些老板一起工作,我真的是幸运的。

憧憬

今天为了赚30块,到老板的投资讲座帮帮忙,收收入场费。
我常常会跟朋友说,我这个老板个不高,样子不错,年轻也很有魅力。
这种魅力,是无法在大学的男同学里头找得到。
这种魅力,是经过岁月和经验一点一点累计出来的。
咏盈常说:“你愿意等待一个男人的蜕变吗?”
对啊,所以要先物色有潜力蜕变的男人,再牢牢地锁着他。
因为当他成熟后,他已经是属于别人了。


一个成熟的男人背后,就是那个愿意陪伴他蜕变的女人。
今天终于让我看到老板背后的女人。
确实很美,很有气质,也很成熟。
我向她介绍自己,她告诉我说老板常常提起我,说我很努力。
我说,其实努力的是他老公,每天都是他最迟回家。
过后,他们就进去礼堂准备讲座。


看着他们的身影,我告诉自己:
“原来这才是真正的长大,真正的成熟。”
我以后的生活,应该也会像他们那样吧。
一眨眼,我还有2年就毕业,然后工作,然后谈恋爱,然后结婚生子。
人的一生,真的一眨眼就过去了。
没有那么多的时间让你遗憾,让你浪费在不必要的事情上。


我会憧憬,以后的我会是什么样的女人。
会不会事业心很重、势利眼、又或者还是想现在的我。
我会憧憬,以后的婚后生活是什么样的。
会不会像老板和他老婆那样,登对、甜蜜。







但我只会憧憬。
因为现在的我,要好好提升自己的价值。
才可以找到一份好的工作,才可以找到一个对的人。



还有多一个月我就迈向2字头。
我不得不变得更成熟。

工作·记心情

冰冷的会议室,我还是一样,一语不发。
亦或者,在人们的舌战中穿插一些话语。
我还是一样,没有什么用。


不是我没有意见。
只是这是一个企业的世界,很多事情我还搞不清楚来龙去脉。
有时候想说些什么,又担心是废话,耽误大家的时间。
说到底,我对自己没有信心而已。
这次是跟老板们第二次会议,表现还是跟第一次会议差不多。
没有达到标准。


为什么人家永远给我机会,我却永远无法达到要求。
我只是,过不了自己那关。


7.30pm 我还在公司里头。
做着自己不熟悉的网页。


到底以后要怎么在这个国家生存。
我不知道。
我真的很差劲,很没用。



振作以后,再想自己想怎样张菁玲。

溝通

最近發生的事情讓我覺得溝通真的很重要。
很多時候我不多講什麽,以爲人家會了解。
大錯特錯!
別人不是你肚子裏的蟲,怎麽會知道你在想什麽?
留給別人去猜根本就是自找麻煩。
結果,還不是造成不利給自己。
教訓:嘮叨也不管了,我不想再給自己什麽麻煩。


剪了個劉海頭,暫時還沒有勇氣放上照片。
一定會有人說看不慣,因爲我自己也需要時間適應啊。
不過看久了,我覺得有比起分綫頭好看啦。
美不美是很主觀的。=)


明天開工了,在tanjong pagar的singapore business federation。
才在家裏休息幾天就要開工。
或許year one的vacation應該多點享受生活。
可是爲了自己的履歷表,是要犧牲一些東西。
希望明天一切順利!

直到你不找我




最近又重新愛上這把磁性的聲音。
好像又讓我回想到些什麽。


不想不想,啃書去!

饒舌小偶像

讀著書的時候腦中突然浮現這首老歌。
唱這首歌的歌手是我小時候的偶像,以前覺得會rap的男生很帥 =)
他就是machi didi 周立銘

第一張個人專輯以後,就沒了蹤影。
隨著年齡增長,我也漸漸淡忘這個人。
直到現在聼回他的歌,有種回到小時候的感覺。


其實這首歌真的很好聽,不知道爲什麽不是很紅。

I need you






















既然他是個饒舌歌手,身爲忠實粉絲的我,
縂要會一兩首他的饒舌歌曲吧,哈哈。
以前還會常常跟弟弟比賽rap這首歌。
它的難度在於速度會一直加快。

劈哩啪啦








真的長大了。
從前的稚氣和眼中無他人的感覺逐漸被成熟和靦腆給取代。

歲月不留人啊。


題外話
Prince William 今天結婚了。
不是因爲我特別喜歡他還是怎樣。
因爲,他跟我同月同日生日!!!
從小到大一直覺得自己有佔到一點他的優良血統。
他是我自信的泉源,所以他對我的影響力是很大的。

























在我心目中他永遠是醬man。
=)

Interview Marathon for InternSHIT





Hey all finally have done with all the interview for internship!! :D
Am super exhausted now, i'm not going to be choosy anymore by waiting for any reply from better companies.
Because even if i got shortlisted for interview, i'll be doing bad, and each time getting worse.
I can say that my best interview performance would be the first one.
And slowly became worst, probably due to tired-ness.
I learnt my lesson, shouldn't be so greedy apply to whatsoever positions.
Not worth it especially when you should be performing well in a better company for better position but it doesn't turn out that way in the end bcoz you're worn out and so tired of interview already!


Whenever people asked me, "why you apply for so many positions especially when some of them you dont even give a damn?!!"
My answer will be "Because i kiasu mah.."
Sadly speaking, thats the truth.
Seniors/Counselors/Everyone been saying that its super DIFFICULT for a year one to get an internship coz you need to compete with fellow seniors.
And i really trusted them so that time my thought was "i want ANY JOBS, even office girl i also wouldn't mind"
So thats how i came out with 20 plus of applications to different companies.
However things turned out quite different (which i also don't know why) that until today, I have attended 5 interviews, got 4 offers, and i believe some of them are still under processing.
Its tiring thou, but i've gained so much experience by attending these interviews, really.
And its not totally the same as how companies in KL conduct interviews.


So just a summary for the interviews that I've attended.
And just wanna highlight some extraordinary questions so that I can do "revision" in the future when i attend to any interview :)


1. Tyco Electronics Singapore Pte Ltd
Date: 6/4/11, 4pm
Location: Ang Mo Kio
Position: HR Intern
Questions:
- Whats your long-term goal?
- What you hope to achieve in your university?
- Use one word to describe yourself.
- What you know about our company?


My overall impression to the company is that, very dynamic. Unlike those conservative one. Working environment is okay, space not too big not too small. For the position wise, need to do everything, from payroll, recruitment, til trainings and events, but thats okayy, coz its intern position what, expected it already. But then i wasn't interested in HR at all (coz i simply applied ma), so i've to turn down their generous offer.


2. Emerson Process Management Asia Pacific Pte Ltd
Date: 7/4/11, 10am
Location: Pandan Crescent
Position: Material Assistant
Questions:
-Very general questions


They have been very kind, but then the bad-me couldn't accept their offer. Procurement is not what i looking for.


3. Borneo Motors Singapore
Date: 8/4/11, 4pm
Location: Queenstown
Position: Marketing Intern
Questions:
- How long have you been in singapore?
- Whats your other skills?
- Are you proficient in computer skills?
- What are your strengths and weaknesses?
- What do you hope to achieve by taking up this position in marketing area?


I have a good impression to the position, at least thats what i've been longing for. But then later when they described the job scopes to me, i felt cheated. Coz what they said are TOTALLY DIFFERENT from what was written in the job scopes of the advertisement posted. From the advert, it says that intern will be more exposed to marketing research, analyzing data and recommending the appropriate pricing for their products. However the truth is, except for recommendation of pricing, its actually more on tedious tasks: issue invoice, data management and maintenance, sales, a bit of advertising (classified section on newspaper) and other ADMIN TASKS. I was quite shocked when its totally 2 different things, of course i never say out in their faces. I was depress coz i've prepared those very detailed info before going for interview but in the end none of them being asked. So, i didn't take up the job.


Basically I started to ask myself that whether i have over-applied and i was quite lost at this point of time coz i didn't get any news from my preferred job or company at all.
Luckily, the day had arrived and two very good companies shortlisted me :D Til then, the downheartedness had been replaced by hope-ness!! :)


4. Singapore Business Federation (SBF)
Date: 13/4/11, 10am
Location: Tanjong Pagar
Position: Global Mid-Sized Companies Intern
Questions:
- Can you tell me more what kinda business that SBF is doing and what kinda company that we normally deal with?
- Whats the difference between sales and marketing?
- What do you hope to achieve by taking up this job?
- Whats your expected allowance? *i didn't know whats my price!! i dunno how to answer*
- Will you accept immediately if i offer you the job now?
*how to answer this question whereas i have another interview after this. if say "yes", i can't consider the next interview with Robert Bosch anymore. if say "let me think of it first", then they might have this impression, "this candidate damn fussy, offers her job some more wants to consider first, hmm!*


It kinda stunned me when the 2 interviewers actually asked me quite a lot of unexpected questions. I only slept for 4 hours the day before furthermore that time was morning, so i tried so hard to squeeze all the brain juice and bullshitted. But luckily, despite my non-structured answers, they still accepted them. I feel so grateful and lucky that they're quite forgiving :)


5. Robert Bosch (SEA) Pte Ltd


Date: 13/4/11, 3pm
Location: Bishan
Position: Corporate Communication Intern
Questions: 
- Why do you choose this position whereas your interest is in marketing?
- How do you see yourself in 10 years time?
- Do you have any experience in organizing events before? How many attendees?
- Are you able to adapt to a MNC culture?
- Can you handle stress? Show me example.
- How would you rank your writing skills, from 1 to 10?


I gotta say, this is THE HARDEST INTERVIEW i'd ever been thru. They really asked challenging questions. If your answers not as good as what they expected, they wouldn't even bother to see you at all. Two of the interviewers even passing notes while i was talking. My confidence just dropped all of a sudden. At the end of the interview, they even had this writing assessment test for me. They gave the relevant info and i gotta squeezed out 500 words in 20 minutes time. That time i was like , "OMG my weakness is in writing..." When they stopped me from writing, i still haven't reached the ending. So i reluctantly left the building. Moreover, its a six-month-internship which is more than my 3 months vacation. That means i have to delay my graduation for one sem if i work for them. Plus, i think hiring possibility is like damn low, coz i can't write a business article well. 


So without being risky, I've decided to take up the offer by SBF and gave up waiting for the reply from Robert Bosch. Another reason is that there'll be a second round interview for RB after this and by that time if i don't secure any job, i'll kill myself coz i've wasted so much time already! LOLL.


Never try, never know.
Your market values are determined by how you sell it thru your cover letter and resume.
To me, i don't mind bragging in my resume (not cheating kayy) on how GOOD i am thou the truth isn't.
As long as you passed the first stage and they shortlisted you, its up to you how you perform during interview.
Very realistic, but thats the world :)


After all these interviews, I realized that i seriously have to improve my English like A LOT. Coz i still have problems in terms of grammar and fluency.
So my friend, pls feel free to correct me whenever i use the wrong grammars or vocabs! 
I'll be very very thankful and grateful :))


Okayy i shall start mugging after the long long day!

A strong woman like you



每次听到这首歌都会有哭的冲动。
真的很感动。
虽然我没有歌词的经历。


***


其实我不是很想说。
我并不懦弱,我只是想说出来而已。
家里发生那么大的问题,家人不让我担心,没有人告诉我。
申请贷款的时候,我居然没发现妈妈的巧思。
然后回到家发现怎么家里冰箱少了些东西。
妈妈一直抱着很乐观的态度面对,叫我不要担心。


眼泪往肚里吞,笑着配合妈妈的笑话。
我不想她知道,我真的很担心。




其实这篇没必要写。
因为,真的于事无补。
请你振作。

AG Y ♥






I am a blessed girl. I always have the best people around me.
My classmates helped a lot in boosting my confidence, making me feel so warm-hearted even though in foreign country.
It feels so good to have the best classmates in the world.
We are so bonded and best of all, we have felicia chin HAHAHA.
Thats always the reason we use!


Previously due to misconception, I had difficulties to mix with them.
Probably due to the fact that they've been labelled as "kia-su" (means they can't afford to lose), automatically a barrier has been created between us.
However nothing in this world is perfect, definitely there'd be both positive and negative sides.
Instead of running away from the reality, choosing to adapt is always a good way to treat yourself as well as other people.
I am actually starting to get used to the lifestyles and especially the way they think here.
Everything is fast, efficiency is priority.


By catching up their footsteps, it wasn't that bad which I had in mind previously.
Thanks to my best classmates for changing my negative mindset.
Or else I wouldn't have enjoyed my schooling time so much (despite the competitiveness)
Feels good to study in the same class with them =)




Alumni Group Y ♥
the best ag in biz school! :)

魅力




— 嘿,我想出來唱唱歌,要一起嗎?—



丟下手頭上的tutorial,帶著手機和一瓶水準備唱通宵。
上個學期和這個學期的我變化很大,變得更懂得愛自己。
一直告訴自己,我也是需要休息的。


所以就跟這個愛彈吉它的朋友待到蠻晚。
又是談天,又是唱歌。
雖然才認識兩個禮拜,也許因爲有共同嗜好,
很快就熟絡起來。
和他談著談著,發現自己真的不如他人。
人家5嵗就立志要當個企業家,買下印尼的其中一個島建起度假屋。
即便來自富裕家庭,可是已經有全盤未來計劃。
相較之下,真不敢相信他還是我的同學。


最近很喜歡跟一些self-motivated的朋友在一起。
有時候跟他們一起的確會得到很多啓發,看得更開。
哪裏像我?簡直就在見歩行步。


男人什麽時候最有魅力?
除了穿西裝的時候,還有就是自信滿滿的大談未來計劃,
人生對他們來説就像一盤棋,而他們正操縱著整盤棋的走向。
因爲他們知道,他們一定會成功。
這種男人好有魅力啊。


什麽時候我也可以變得有魅力?

雨韻 - 2011歌謠發表會《夏語》專輯



詞曲混錄一手包辦:于檳赫
演唱:張菁玲



不懂可不可以“發表”,管它的。
反正下個禮拜就是發表會了。
希望大家可以多多支持 =)


《夏语》——歌谣发表会2011
March 15, 7:00pm
Shaw Foundation Alumni House, Auditorium, Level 2
票价$10/每张
专辑CD$8/每张(凭门票购买享受优惠价$5/每张)





專輯收錄了12首原創歌曲。
請大家支持正版,不要下載。
哈哈哈。


話説那天錄了n次,所以唱到後面的時候很明顯聲音變小,變累了。
這次的錄音讓我發現到自己聲音的缺陷太多了。
所以警惕自己平時應該要好好保聲。
要謝謝檳赫的混音,真的很喜歡。


期待禮拜六的当潘金莲进入龙门客栈,禮拜日的open house表演。
當然還有下個禮拜的發表會。
這篇有點像在打廣告。
反正這裡都被我搞到不倫不類了。
XD

小記

1。爲什麽讀書讀久了有變笨的趨勢?
我的biz comm的技巧去了哪裏?


2。是最近發現自己腦筋轉得好慢,也不怎麽會説話了。


3。壓力歸壓力,不可以讓自己陷入emo。
即使emo,也要學會強顏歡笑。


4。又是無止盡的壓力的開始。
我想唱歌。


5。身邊的朋友想進nus,我有種衝動想阻止他們。
希望他們可以再看清楚。
光鮮亮麗的外表並不是如他們想象的那樣。

積雪






有一些事未解決 也尚有陰影未擺脫
門縫外看見積雪 沒明份的積雪
偏映襯我的鮮血


我不想做什麼 也沒意識到誰經過
原來沒有太大不妥 如同自己一個
從前沒有游離浪蕩過麼



如果我要活著 準許我忘記過去
無非對症下藥走把雪融於水
讓我一口氣喝下去 然後問我幾多歲
為何這些年頭似幻似虛



如果我要道別 寫一個完美壯舉
重繪世界未日 不等到誰應許
面對這身旁芒人海裡 來日誰進墳裡
或者真的太累 歷久甚會不衰



我不想做什麼 也沒意識到誰經過
原來沒有太大不妥 如同自己一個
從前沒有游離浪蕩過麼



如果我要活著 準許我忘記過去
無非對症下藥抓把雪融於水
讓我一口氣喝下去 然後問我幾多歲
為何這些年頭似幻似虛



如果我要道別 寫一個完美壯舉
重繪世界未日 不等到誰應許
面對這身旁芒人海裡 來日誰進墳裡
或者真的太累 歷久甚會不衰
或者真的太累 歷久甚會不衰

信任



人與人之間總是有著很奇妙的化學反應。
有些人,不是你的誰,卻能給你一種值得信任的感覺。
在這些人面前,你可以赤裸裸的說出心底話。
而我相信,卸下武裝的面具,這時候的我們就像小孩那樣,對他人是百分之百的信任。
一直都很贊同這句話,“Trust is the willingness to be vulnerable.
信任是願意在某些人面前顯得脆弱。


是什麽讓我們重新對這些人曾經相信過的人戴上假面具?
背叛。
欺騙。
多麽可怕。
你以爲這個人是可以完全相信的。
你以爲這個人是説話算話的。
醜陋的一面被揭開以後,我在你面前不再是小孩。
保護自己的意識更加強烈。
我們之間多了一道防護墻。
你無法靠近我,我也不願意在你面前表現脆弱。


亦或者,睜一只眼閉一只眼。
把真相給再次埋藏起來。
就讓我繼續呵護我們之間虛假的美好。


+++


你到底是個什麽樣的人?
我能不能夠相信你?

怎麽辦




左邊是本地人的文章,右邊我所屬的組別(international students)的文章。



一張是僅有幾個語法錯誤的文章。
另一張則是錯誤連篇的。
心裏很難接受,不是因爲自己錯很多。
而是當我們還會有grammatical errors的時候,人家早已經跨過那個障礙。
完美無瑕的文章對他們來説並不是什麽問題。


壓力真的很大。
我們是同學,可是程度怎麽差那麽多?
我真的有在努力,不要把標準設在及格而已。
可是,這個障礙,我真的不知道怎樣去讓它進步。
所有東西,都已經努力過了。


我究竟在幹什麽,我也不知道。
是盲無目的的。
我不知道要怎樣追。
不追的話到底來這裡讀書的意義是什麽。
我真的好差勁。


我不知道該怎麽辦。
我真的很努力了。


明天又是新的一天,加油。




我不需要安慰,只是希望會有些建設性的solution給我解決。
謝謝

給我考零分



文章轉摘:面子書


有这样一对父子:父亲是纽约哥伦比亚大学博士,著名作家、画家;
儿子是哈佛大学硕士、波士顿CitSep音乐指导及剑桥WllRBD电台制作主持人、作家。
这是被视为传奇的一对父子。


然而,儿子在中学时却是个不折不扣的差生,
他的考试卷上永远是“C”。作家父亲如何让差生儿子变成优等生?

这个父亲叫刘墉。这个儿子叫刘轩。


2009年9月,刘轩抵达上海为新书《叛逆年代》签售,
接受专访时讲述了刘墉拜托他考零分的独特家教故事......


我在中国台湾还没有读完小学就跟着父亲举家搬迁到了美国。进入中学后,
我开始叛逆。然后就变成了一个让老师头痛的孩子:调皮、厌学、爱做白日梦,
每天憧憬的就是变成一个像舒马赫那样的赛车手。
所以,我的成绩很糟糕,
不知道什么时候开始,我的成绩变成了雷打不动的“C”,这让教过我的所有老师都无计可施。


刘墉终于忍不住找我谈话了。
在我12岁之后,他就跟我说,我可以直呼他的名字,
当然我想叫他爸爸他也很欢迎。鉴于他对我一直比较宽松,所以我多半时侯称呼他为爸爸,
偶尔觉得心情不好的时候才会叫他刘墉。
现在他要就我的学习成绩与我展开讨论,
我的心情就开始不好了。
他先是冲我意味深长地笑了笑,这个笑容在我看来很阴险。


他对我说:“你的老师告诉我,你现在整天梦想着当舒马赫那样的赛车手,变得不爱学习了,对吗?”

“是的。”我感觉他的话里有一些鄙视的成分,这是对一个14岁少年尊严的莫大侮辱,

我有点挑衅地说:“舒马赫是我的偶像,他像我这么大时成绩也很糟糕,他还考过零分,

现在不照样当了世界顶级赛车手? ”刘墉突然爽朗地笑了起来,

那笑声让我觉得有点阴鸷的味道:“他考了零分,当了赛车手。

可是,你从来就没有考过零分啊,每次都是'C'! ”

说完,他的手从背后亮出来,冲我扬了扬手中那张成绩单。
他竟然笑话我没有考过零分?我真的觉得自己受到了侮辱。

我咽了一口唾沫,从喉咙里发出低沉的声音:
“那么,你希望我考个零分给你看看吗?”

他往椅子背上一靠,摆出一个坐得很舒服的姿势,笑了:“好啊,你这个主意很不错!

那就让我们打个赌吧,你要是考了零分,那么以后你的学业一切自便,我绝不干涉;

可是,你一天没有考到零分,就必须服从我的管理,按照我的规定去好好学习。如何? ”

我们很认真地击掌为盟,我在心里已经开始窃笑不已了,我觉得自己遇到了一个天底下最可爱也最愚蠢的父亲

“但是,既然是'考',那就得遵守必要的考试规则:试卷必须答完,
 不能一字不填交白卷,也不能留着题目不答,更不能离场逃脱,
 如果那样的话即视为违约,好不好? ”

这还不简单?我的心里发出快乐的鸣叫,不假思索地答道:
“没有问题!”


很快便迎来了考试。
发下试卷后,我快速地填好自己的名字,开始答卷。
反正这些该死的试题我平时就有五分之三不会,考个零分不是什么难题吧?

第一题是这样的:在第二次世界大战中,指挥美国人民反击纳粹的时任总统是谁?
下面有三个备选答案:卡特、罗斯福、艾森豪。
我知道是罗斯福,却故意在答题卡上涂下了艾森豪的名字。

接下来的几道题都是如此。可毕竟试题是按先易后难的原则出的,试题的难度不断增加,甚至很陌生。

在做后面的题时,我并不知道哪个是正确答案,所以答题时就开始犯难,但按照约定,我又不能空着不答,

最后我只能硬着头皮,像以往那样乱蒙一通。走出考场,我忽然发现自己手心里竟然出了汗。


我第一次感觉到,原来考零分也很难!我的心情开始沮丧,
因为我觉得我极可能在乱蒙的时候蒙到了正确答案,如果那样的话,我就考不了零分了。
试卷结果出来了,是可恶的“C”,而不是可爱的“O”!灰头土脸地带着试卷回家,刘墉笑眯眯地走过来,提醒我,

“咱们可是有约在先哦,如果你没有考到零分,你必须听从我的指挥和安排。”

我低下头,暗骂自己不争气,竟然连个零分都考不到。
同时也在心里作好了最坏的准备,他还能怎么指挥我?无非是让我好好努力早日考到A而已嘛!  

刘墉煞有其事地清了嗓子,说出了他对我的命令:“现在,我拜托你早一天考到零分,或者说,

你近期的学习目标的向零分冲刺!哪一天考到了零分,哪一天你就获得自由! ”

我差点以为我的耳朵坏掉了,或者差点以为刘墉的脑子坏掉了,这样的大好机会送到他手上,
他竟然将我轻轻放过,并且无限制地给我发补救的机会?考零分比考A。
我觉得还是前者更容易一些。于是,我看到了一丝曙光。  


很快又迎来了第二次考试......结局还是一样,又是“C”!
 第三次、第四次......我一次又一次地向零分冲刺。
为了早日考到零分,我不由自主地开始努力学习。
然后,我开始发现自己有把握做错的题越来越多。
换句话说,我会做的题越来越多。  


一年后,我成功地考到了第一个零分!也就是说,试卷上所有的题目我都会做,
每一题我都能判断出哪个答案正确,哪个答案是错误的。


刘墉那天很高兴,亲自下厨房做了一桌菜,端起酒杯大声宣布:“刘轩,祝贺你,终于考到了零分!”

他冲我眨眨眼,加了一句话:“有能力考到A的学生,才有本事考出零分。这个道理你现在应该已经知道,

不过我是早就计画好了,你被我耍了,哈哈哈......” 的确,我承认我被刘墉——我的爸爸耍了。


在这个赌局中,其实我的一举一动,都早已经在他的预料之中。
可是,把考满分的要求换成考零分,
我就觉得容易接受得多,并且愿意为了达到这个目标而努力。
真不知怎么想的。


后来,我考上了哈佛,读完硕士,正在读博士,译了书写了书,拿了音乐奖,获得了表演奖,
似乎在18岁以后,我就再也不去想做舒马赫第二了。我觉得我完全可以做到刘轩第一。


现在,我跟爸爸一起开了一个博客,主题是“两代人对谈的父子博客”。
我很享受这种可以跟他推心置腹,发表不同见解的交流和沟通。


我想,如果我有了孩子,我也会跟他定下同样的“零分之约”,
这绝对是比满分之约要科学,巧妙,有用得多的约定......
