婆罗黑鹊与”图腾“ Of Bornean black magpies and totems

在于青年的人生当中,所有的声音对我来说只是一般。可是自从查到一种鸟的叫声后,这个声音成为了我的人生中的一个开始点,听了这声足以让我有精神面对新的一天,虽然这鸟的叫声说来说去其实没有很好听,有时候可能听了会让人觉的诡异。可是无论如何,听久了我自己把该鸟认为一半是我自己给的吉祥物,有时候可能比较为图腾物。


婆罗黑鹊,或称婆罗白翅鹊,英文称 Bornean black magpie,(学名 Platysmurus aterrimus), 是婆罗洲地方性的物种,该鸟仅住在婆罗洲的树林里,虽然它也会进入附近的公园与农区。属于乌鸦科,婆罗黑鹊与名字虽然是与喜鹊相同,可是其实它是一种树鹊。它时常在树中寻觅昆虫,虽然水果也偶尔成为食物。全身长于 40厘米左右,说了其实也不是一只小型的鸟。其鸟全身虹彩蓝黑,唯独双眼是血红色的(比较前绘图,照片为参考记录罢了)。






其叫声奇怪,时候是空响的口哨声,时侯是苛刻的笑声。

比较婆罗黑鹊的叫声:

总而来说,该鸟虽然时不时出现,可是毕竟给了我很大的影响,成为我人生一个不缺的点子,它是我开始录鸟音的一个立志,成为我其中一个最常录的鸟声,同时给我精神应对新的一天,也发给我立志要跑遍人少的地方,人少,甚至无人的地方就这样成为了让我心情最好的地方。


During my youth times as of now, all sounds to me are just seemingly mundane and dull. However there is this exception ever since I chanced across this bird call, and it becomes a key starting highlight in my life, and that sound is enough to motivate me to face life and the start of every new day, although this bird doesn't have a melodious call, and downright unearthly at times. But after chancing upon this sound from time to time, I even see that bird as akin to a mascot, even almost akin to a totem.

The Bornean black magpie, scientifically known as Platysmurus aterrimus, is a bird endemic only to Borneo, and inhabits mostly rainforests, although it does venture into nearby parklands and plantations from time to time. It is a member of the family Corvidae (family of crows, magpies, jays), however despite its common name is known as a magpie, it is more related to treepies. It forages the trees for insects with an occasional snack consisting of fruits, and grows to about 40cm in length, not exactly a small bird, then again. Its plumage coloration is iridescent bluish-black, except for the eyes being bloodshot red (as seen with my illustration in the front).

It has a weird call, at times being a weird hollow creaking whistle, at times its calls being harsh grating laughing calls.


To sum it all, this bird is not a frequently sighted bird, yet it gives me a profound implication, a chunk of my life that cannot be removed, it is the milestone that marks my resolve to go around recording birdcalls, and it boosted my resolve to face every new day with enthusiasm, and to soak in the feeling of being in a place where there is no humans, any place where it is devoid of human activity or remotely any presence of them, is the only place where my feelings are the fullest.





新的故事段 A New Chapter For This Page

这么长的时段没有动到,现在青年的我回来这个网页也觉得该做一些调整,以后这个网页供写一些关于我对周围的看法并心中的评论。我自己本人都成为大学生,自然而然对周围也比较自由了,对于大自然,这一个范围成为我自己心中,想像中,一个重要的范围,我自己的人生也必与那个范围连接。

现在的我,虽然是个法律系学生,可是同时也是一个观察大自然的人物。大自然给予我人生有一定的希望,同时也给我一个责任,毕竟我认定其中一个人生使命为顾于神所造的一切。即使我其他才能的方面,随着时间的变动,这些才能也正在进化,自己的绘画能力也与时间的进展渐渐加强。在这些期间内,也吸收了其他的:录音,做笔记,还有其他的。

长话短说,从现在开始本人要在这个网页记录自己与大自然所产生的共鸣。

I haven't touched this page for such a long period of time. Now that I am back as young man, I has returned to this page and felt that I should make some adjustments. In the future, this page will be used to write some comments about my views on my surroundings. Since I myself have become a college student, and thus naturally I am relatively free to take in my surroundings. For nature, this had became an important niche in my own heart. This niche had filled not just my heart, but also my mind and imagination, and that my life shall be intertwined with this niche.


Now, although I am a law student, I am also a person who observes nature. Nature gives me some hope in life, but also gives me a responsibility. After all, I believe that one of my life's purpose is to take care of everything God has created. Even with other aspects of my talents, these talents are also  evolving with the progress of time, and thus my drawing ability has gradually strengthened with the progress of time. During these periods, I also absorbed other abilities: recordings, taking notes and logging notes, and others.



Long story short, from now on, on this page, my resonance and view, as well as my notes with nature shall be written here.

MyStory 1

2日7月 2008年
大约晚上10时抵达学院,爸爸将我和大弟,还有一些行李先带到5楼,爸爸又乘电梯下到底楼,去带妈妈和小弟及拿剩余的行李。但迟迟不见他们上来,后来才知道原来电梯坏了,房间的钥匙又不知向谁拿,隔壁房的印尼uncle便请我和大弟在他们家坐坐。

约11时,我们才进入我们的“新家”。在客厅里有一大箱子,里头有一个大抱枕,五个枕头,一套双人床套,三套单人床套及其他日常用品,全新的,原来是乌节路长老会妇女会赠送给2008年国际生的礼物。

妈妈把床套拆开,把里头的包装厚纸递给我说;“拿去画画。“

****************************

7月- 9月 2008年

“新”家没纸,我只好拿包装厚纸来画画。
妈妈说:画的不错。她把它放在书架上摆设 。











*******************************


来到新加玻之后,我几乎天天都会来到宿舍二楼的钢琴室,














窗外就是Bukit Timah森林,虫鸣鸟叫,晚上更是阴森森,什么怪声都有,没有妈妈陪,我可不敢来咯!



这些书在诗巫弹了一年多,
还未到一半,或许妈妈太忙,忙阿景,忙宝贝班。。。
她。。。有教没教,
我。。。有弹没弹。


来到新加坡两个月,我把这些书本都弹完了。
现在是第二册了。嘢!


妈妈说,她来到新加玻最大的成就感:就是我们弹钢琴的有进展。
或许妈妈在这儿没事情做,三天两天就教新曲。


这是钢琴室窗外的景观。

我在练习钢琴时,有时会听到猴子叫声,也会看到猴子,我告诉妈妈,妈妈觉得我“大炮”,叫我画出情景。
拿!这是我的“笔述”!
