1965 亞庇中華學校第24屆畢業班庚組暨老師合影

 亞庇中華學校CHUNG HWA PRIMARY SCHOOL, KOTA KINABALU (now SRJK (C) Chung Hwa, Kota Kinabalu)





寫於 2025-2-15 Taman Senarak

1965年的同窗摯友們,你們一切都好嗎?
六十載光陰如歌,青絲已成白雪。
昨天整理舊物時,指尖偶然觸到這張早已泛黃的畢業照,
稚嫩笑顏如時光琥珀,將六年級的時光永遠封存。
不知哪位老友還珍藏著當年的點滴?
或許某本日記夾著我們Papar畢業旅行的合照.
這張唯一倖存的合照,我像守護星光般保存了半個多世紀,
每當目光撫過每一張面容,都能聽到教室窗外最後一班火車經過的轟轟聲.是下課的時候了, 我們的一位同學要趕著坐火車回去Kinarut了.
若您也留存任何青春印記,
願我們能將記憶的拼圖補全,
讓1965年的風,再次拂過我們佈滿皺紋卻依然年輕的心。

蔡綿發同學每天下午放學後要趕最後一班火車回家。 Kinarut 離學校大約20Km.
那是六十年前了。這一段學校旁的鐵路二十年前拆除,廣建成今天的大馬路。

香港來的周建華與黃若望老師

周老師與黃若望老師有兩大共同點:皆生於香港、長於香港,並於1960年代初遠來沙巴州紮根。 1965年我讀六年級時,兩位老師遷居沙巴州僅數年光景。如今回想起來,方覺當年他們言談舉止間流露的氣質,與我們本地客家社群確有微妙差異,難怪六十年前懵懂的我已隱約感受到這份不同。

《珍藏六十年的日落祕境》

馮瑞明同學六十年前帶我發現了美麗的日落。六十年前就讀六年級那一年第一次懂得原來落日的景緻竟能如此動人心魄。如今馬來西亞旅遊局將亞庇日落列入"世界十大絕美日落觀景點",這份遲來的認證讓我的回憶更添感慨。

故事要從亞庇中華小學的補課說起。當年學校半日制教學,但六年級為備戰會考,每天下午都要返校補習。下午放學時分橘紅色的夕陽總悄悄西下。

瑞明與我住在信號山Signal Hill山上, 學校在山下的海邊。若沿著公路步行回家需四公里之遙,而瑞明他知道有一條穿過山路的捷徑只需1公里。 他領我鑽進羊腸小徑。當氣喘吁籲爬到半山腰時,眼簾的是整片南中國海托起的落日——鎏金的雲絮在浪尖燃燒,歸航的舢板剪影穿梭其間,海風裹挾著雞蛋花的甜香。

此後半年間,這條秘密小徑成了我的觀景台。來自嚴格老師的壓力在暮色中消散,只見天幕每日變幻著橘粉紫金的油彩。當年寂靜無聞的亞庇濱海小鎮,如今已蛻變為摩登旅遊城市;我兒時曾經以為稀鬆平常的暮色,今天是網絡傳播的世界級勝景。

六十年前兩個書包晃蕩的孩童,早已在時光裡為這片海灣完成最初的審美啟蒙。那些未經濾鏡修飾的晚霞,那些混著汗水的歡笑聲,依然靜靜封存在記憶的琥珀中。

當年回家山路捷徑半山腰上遙望日落之處是我心目中”世界上最佳日落觀景點之最佳之處”,那山腰之處我當成”Well Kept Secret” .心恐中國遊客蜂湧而來,被遊客糟蹋了心中的聖地.

2014年兒子進入了沙巴大學(University Malaysia Sabah).

2022年女兒也順利的進入同一間沙巴大學.

 

University Malaysia Sabah (沙巴大學) 是一間國立大學(Governments Public University). 入學申請全部都要通過政府的教育部批准. 能夠進到國立大學是件幸運的事. 要不然財務上我是沒有能力資助兩個子女進入昂貴的私立大學.

兒子2018修完了社會科地理學的學士學位. 現在是一位生態導遊及野生動物保護員. (如果你有看Astro的節目, 可能還記得有看到他們的穿山甲保衛工作)

現在女兒在3年後要修完社人類學的學位. 她的大學第二語文選修是Dusun土著的語文. Dusun是除了婆羅洲島之外沒有的人種. 據說Dusun人的原始祖宗是來自台灣島. 但沒有科學考古證明. 我女兒在這三年內需要找到證明是否.

Ruhi Online Institute

31-12-2011 Saturday 

After a hard day work, when preparing to go home for a long holiday, I began to feel like missing some one a good friend.  

Tomorrow is 1-1-2012 New Year. Company shut down from 1st till 10th January for a long holiday.  

In such a light holiday mood I suddenly remember and miss www.Geocities.com


I came back to Malaysia in 1998 and became a computer technician job. This IT job gave me the opportunity to venture into the Internet world.   www.Geocities.com at this time of 1998 has become a well known site like today’s FACEBOOK, YOUTUBE, and Google.  Yahoo! bought this GeoCities.com in 1999. 

In October 2009, GeoCities websites officially shut down by Yahoo!

There were 38 million user-built pages on GeoCities before it was shut down. Within these 38 millions pages were about 40 pages built by me. It’s the Ruhi Online Institute. 


RUHI ONLINE INSTITUTE
Yes! Ruhi Online Institute  was started by me.  I told no one about this except 2 people Mr. and Mrs. Leong who were invited by me to help up in developing. 

Ruhi Online Institute is a  never completed web project. Never complete because of poor “Poor Spiritual Economy” in those years.

Though never reach complete construction, these 40 pages of my Exercises on HTML writing nevertheless prepared my competency in Web site developing in later years .  

The good remarks from the readers sent to me via the pages were a solid encourage to me to pursue Web developing skills.

I missed GeoCities. This American company provided me an international platform to connect to the outside world from this little hidden town of Tawau in Borneo Island.

When Geocities shut down in 2009, so disappeared from the Internet also Ruhi Online Institute along with the rest of 38 millions web pages build by millions of users like me.

Old friends never die, they just fed out of memories. Until this afternoon I suddenly recover from fading memories that I once had a good old friend and that I kept no record to remember GeoCities.com. I want to keep some record of Ruhi Online Institute  before it fed out completely from memories.

Without having to say, the rest of the night after dinner  I spend in recovering Ruhi Online Institute.  

A good heart American with foresight has archived these 38 milliones pages before they vanish and kept in http://www.oocities.org/


There in OoCities.org I found my Ruhi again! http://www.oocities.org/ruhionline/

Knowledge Management of a Learning Organization

Microsoft is a genuine example of a "Learning Organization."
The central philosophy expressed in Bill Gates' 1999 book — "Business @ the Speed of Thought" is Knowledge Management.
Gates' "Knowledge Management" embrace the " 5 Learning Disciplines" identified by Peter Senge in his book The Fifth Discipline (1990). Peter is a professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

第五項修煉—學習型組織的藝術與實務
The Fifth Discipline: The Art & Practice of the Learning Organization
1990 by Peter M. Senge

"學習型組織"的真諦:活出生命的意義
作為偉大團體一分子的經驗是...感覺得自己屬於一個強大的事物,大夥兒心手相連,共創未來的那種經驗。
作為真正偉大團體一分子的體驗,是一生中最突出、生命力完全發揮的一段歲月。有些人竟其餘生,希望尋求重溫此種經歷。
數百年來的西方文化中,有一個字很少被使用,但卻可表達學習型組織的精神,這個字是Metanoia(心靈的轉變)。
Metanoia (心靈的轉變) 希臘文意思是心靈意念的根本改變,一種“超覺”的經驗。 Metanoic Organization形容學習型組織。
在早期基督徒的傳統中,這個字特指醒悟而直接覺知至高無上的、屬於上帝的事物。 在天主教的經論中,這個字被翻譯成“體悟生命的真義”。
堂握Metanoia的意義,等於掌握“學習”的更深層的意義,包括心靈的根本轉變或運作
'學習' 在目前的用法上已經失去了它的核心意義。在日常用語上,'學習'已經變成吸收知識,或者是獲得信息,然而這和真正的學習還有好大一段距離。 真正的學習,涉及人之所以為人此一意義的核心。
透過學習,我們重新創造自我,做到從未能做到的事情,重新認知這個世界,以及擴展創造未來的能量。 你我心底都深深地渴望這種真正的學習。這就是"學習型組織"的真諦。
對"學習型組織"而言,單是適應與生存是不能滿足它的。 "學習型組織"為適應與生存而學習,與開創性的學習結合,讓大家在組織內由工作中活出生命的意義。朝這條路上走去。"學習型組織"的領域仍然大部分有待開墾。

Founder of Santitham School in Thailand

Years previously I hear of this Baha’I school and wished to visit one day.

That wish came true in 1986 in Bangkok when an LSA member asked me to make a trip to Yasothon Town Santitham School. I do not have to do any teaching or do any volunteer service there. My job is a simple but great honored mission : To accompany Mrs. Shirine Fozdar to Santitham School.

And Mrs. Shirine Fozdar is the founder of Santitham Vidhayakhom School in Yasothon Town of North Thailand.

It was an over night bus trip from Bangkok City at night and reaching Yasothon early in the morning. The bus journey may be comfortable to us but may not for Shirine Fozdar. Not because of her age but because of ……………………

......... Just a year before, Mrs. Fozdar accidentally fall down in the school compound and seriously broke a leg. She had to be specially attended to and transported back to Singapore from Thailand. Though the school is in Thailand, Singapore is where she lives and where she would recuperate her leg and health.

Now a year has passed, and she is now strong and energy to return where she last fall. This was the timing I happen to met her at Bangkok and would accompany her to return to her school………………………..

The bus reached Yasothon early morning. I was suppose to be the nurse providing services and convenient to an eldery but not. I was new in Thailand and spoke no Thai (except Ning, Song, Sam, Si, Ha, Taulai ). Getting down from the bus I was lost not knowing what to do. Instead Mrs. Fozdar shout out loud to some men opposite the road:

“Samlo! Samlo!”

Instantly, a bicycle richshow rush to her side with smiling face. Another few more words in Thai from Mrs. Fozdar and off we went to her school her long to see again.




Mrs. Shirin Fozdar with some of the student at the Secondary Commercial Section the morning she arrive after a year of absent for recuperating of a broken leg from a fall in this school compound.
