回忆

I wrote this last year(which was not very good)...and i translated it (which again is not very good)

little boy-房祖名) i know very chiplak...

回忆

十月不到的时光里
In these ten month’s time
周遭的一切令我回忆起了无数的往事
Everything around me reminded me of my past
回想起了:
And I missed all of them:

座落在死路面前的小家
My house at the end of the road
客厅冰冷的地砖
The icy cold tiles in my living room
睡房小小的门拉手
The small door knob of my bedroom’s door
洗手间洗脸盆的滴水声
The sound of water dripping in the toilet
厨房装满食物的冰箱
The food-filled fridge
红蓝白色又超舒服的塑胶椅
The super comfortable red, blue, white coloured chair
常来拜访屋外茉莉花的蜂鸟
The hummingbird which frequently visits the jasmine flower outside my house
做了十几年邻居的唯一一个邻居
The only neighbour which I have had for more than ten years
听与看不厌的电台与电视台节目
Tv and radio programmes which I will never be sick of
邻家每逢佳节有客人拜访时传来的小孩声
Sound of children from my neighbour whenever there is a holiday
吵到要死的知了
Noisy cicadas
每逢周末电视台会播的载歌载舞的印度电影
Song and dance filled Bollywood movies aired every weekend
令人捧腹大笑、泪流满面、一头污水的广告
Advertisements which make you laugh, cry or even confused
下午开冷气机产生的低频率,低振幅的声音
The low frequency, low amplitude sound of the air-conditioner in the afternoon
能记朋友家电话号码,打电话时又不用查电话簿的能力
The ability to remember friends number and not having to check the telephone book everytime I call
半夜三点起来在一片寂静听电台定时播放的歌的那种宽心的感觉
The relaxing feeling of waking up 3am to listen to one particular soothing song on the radio in a quiet room
剪好头发会去买的酸梅味冰淇淋
The semboi ice-cream that I always buy after my haircut
差点就快吃到怕的pizza
Pizzas that I almost got sick of
偶尔七早八早陪妈妈去咖啡店吃早餐疲惫的感觉
The tired feeling from having to wake up early to have breakfast in kopitiams with my mom
去到腻但唯一可玩可喝的summer tea
The ‘summer tea’ which we go
每周四在炎热的太阳下走一段小路就到的补习班
The tuition centre which I have to walk to every Thursday afternoon under the hot sun
天天载我的妈妈的车、叔叔的车、偶尔爸爸的车
My mom’s car, uncle’s car, and sometimes my dad’s car which ferry me around
每年开学为了要争坐位肯牺牲睡眠的精神
Everyone’s willingness to sacrifice sleeping time to get a good seat on the first day of school every year
校长、老师、学生、巡察员都个讲个的的周会
The assembly where everyone gives a speech
长得要死的州歌
The never-ending state anthem
到现在还是不会唱的校歌
The school song which I have yet to master
每位不同性格的老师:爱捏人的、有不测之脾气的、给太多功课的、爱小叮当的、被仰慕/暗恋/憎恨的、不会教书又谈姐弟恋的、最好欺负的、不认识的…
The different characters of my teachers, some who: likes to pinch you, have weird tempers, gives too much homework, loves doraemon, were admired/loved secretly/hated deeply, who doesn’t know how to teach and have an relationship with a student, are affectionately bullied by students and some who I don’t even know
在班上热闹、偶尔不寒而栗的气氛
The lively but sometimes scary atmosphere of the class
午餐后色味俱全、挤得水泄不通、这么多班里最轻松的华文班
The crowded, foul-smelling and most relaxing Chinese Language class we have after lunch
rehat做的一切:赶(抄)功课、拜访隔壁班、去办公室吹冷气、去图书馆吹冷气、bertugas、在厕所‘臭’的热闹、无所事事…
The stuff we do during rehat: rushing(copying) homework, visiting next class, going to the staffroom for the air-conditioner, bertugas-ing, the not-really-smelly toilet, doing nothing...
简单不过的nilam
The oh-so-easy nilam
风靡全校一段时间的'蜜斯'
‘Massive’ (a catalogue) which was very popular throughout the school
那本正堆积灰尘的六孔册
The six-holed notebook which is collecting dust
食堂常常卖完的炸鸡翅膀
The fried chicken wings which are always sold out
pizza送到学校吃的经验
The experience of ordering pizza and be delivered to the school for lunch
考试前一晚抱佛脚的经验
Last minutes studies before the exam
分考卷前不必烧香的福气
The luck of not having to worry about exam results
天天穿制服的感觉
The feeling of wearing uniform to school
逼不得以要去的gotong-royong
The gotong-royong which was ‘wajib
很谈得来的好朋友
Friends whom I really treasure
无忧无虑、不太顾虑别人看法、不必事事亲力亲为、开开心心的那段日子
The days when I lived without worries, not caring what other people think about me, not having to do everything on my own, and lived happily
住了十多年的小小的民都鲁镇
The bintulu town where I lived for more than ten years
快乐的过去
The happy past
快乐的自己
My happy self


就让一切烙印在脑海中
May these memories be forever remembered
好让日后还能回顾
I'll revisit these memories in the future
在回忆里从新感受那些滋味
Reliving these memories and savouring it

这全部很久都没做、听、看过。有些也没机会可以再经历了。。。
I haven’t done, listened or seen all these stuff for quite a long time. Some of which I might not even have the chance to relive again...
