这是在ntu的webmail里发出的邮件:

亲爱的中国朋友:

这是一封募捐信,希望你能在忙碌的学习或工作中给予关注。

我曾经是一名在南大的本科生,现在是在南大 的人文社会科学学院(HSS)学习经济的一年级博士生。在经历了半年之久的背痛以及在近一个月内的连续五次的摔跤,我被诊 断为脊髓肿瘤。因为肿瘤已经严重挤压了我的脊髓,以至伤到了腿神经,医生在我就诊的第二天实施了开脊椎取肿瘤的手术。肿瘤 是从脊髓内向外长出,医生只取出了在脊髓外的足足有10厘米长的肿瘤,但是在髓内的肿瘤却没能取出,因为医生怕伤害到我的神经,引 发瘫痪。对于没能取出的肿瘤,我还需要做28次的放疗来消除它们。

现在我已经出院在家休养,并且也在等待医院给我接 下来的放疗安排。我的行走在和手术前比起来,好了很多。但是下肢的部分麻木还是没有消失。另外,在这次手术中,医生在我的 脊椎上打下了三颗钛合金的钉子来固定我的脊椎,所以现在背部还是会有些疼痛。所有的这些手术后痛苦,都是我可以承受的, 但是巨额的手术费是让人头疼的事情。我的教授为了让我能安心养病,在她繁忙的工作中抽出时间自己一个人设计募捐海报、联系 学校为我开展募捐的行动,但是这个活动一直受到阻碍,迟迟不能开始。现在我的教授因过度劳累,也承受着背痛的痛苦。看着教授为我操 劳,我也想用自己的努力来获取大家的帮助,所以写下这封信。

希望大家能伸出援助之手,给予我经济上的援助。如果大家 在经济学习方面(HE191 principal of Economics) 有任何问题,在康复之后,我都会尽力为你们解答。我的邮件地址是 chen0646@ntu.edu.sg. 谢谢大家。

To Kill A Mockingbird...



I caught a local play To Kill A Mockingbird by Toy Factory Productions on last tuesday. I got the premium ticket at a good price using OCBC credit card (I realise there is usually a discount for local productions using OCBC credit card=) Unfortunately I could not find any kakis to accompany me. So as I sat there alone, I can't help feeling sian as the 2 seats to the left and right of me were occupied with a couple... hahah=P But the performance more than make up for it!=)

I first got in touch with this book through my secondary days. English literature text in secondary 2. Ganna forced to read hahha. As I continued reading the book as part of my curriculum, I found it to be very good and was mesmerised by it! Here is a synopsis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_Kill_a_Mockingbird

Surprising I could remember how the story unfolded in the next scene as the play progressed after so many years! (must be a result of reading it too many times for examination during secondary 2 haha) The props were minimal with chairs being the main ones!!! haha. Maybe the director does not want the audience to be distracted by fancy props and missed the morals of the story.

Another interesting thing was one of the main actors fell sick suddenly and a replacement actor was tasked with his job. Obviously as it was a last minute arrangement, the replacement actor did not have the time ti memorise the script. So it looked really weird when he was reading from the script hahah.

As the play neared the end with Boo Radley, the mysterious character in the story appearing to save the day, my eyes started to tear slightly. I was not sure of the reasons. Maybe because it brought back nolstagic memories. Maybe because of the strong morals of the story. Maybe.....=)
