十三岁那年，在初中一开始认识他。开始时与他不熟，后来升上初中三的时候，他被安排坐在我后面隔壁那一行的座位，咱门俩开始交谈，熟络起来。接下来的日子，咱们的足迹北上南下，到处Lepak，常常打开天窗说亮话，说将来要过怎样怎样的生活，说别人的是与非，甚至说着伤害彼此的话，说。。。屈指一算那已经是29年前的事儿了。中学毕业后没多久，我返回家乡照顾我父亲。后来他选择移居他国，在离开马来西亚之前，只身跑来槟城与我告别。那个时候，曾经为此难过。老土也要说的一句话《天下无不散之宴席》，那个时候正值“花样年华”的我对未来充满了憧憬，难过也只不过是那么的一阵子而已。有一年约他在悉尼会合。大家说好了在悉尼市内的一家酒店碰面。那天早上经过了长途飞行的我抵达时，拖着疲累的身体及行李进入酒店内查询，才发觉他没有入住。本来以为可以睡上一觉的我开始有点慌了，打了通长途电话给他姐姐，他姐姐说他已出国。我的心情开始纳闷他到底上那去了呢？是不是地点搞错了？正当我正在懊恼要怎么做的时候，他竟施施然的出现在酒店的门口。似乎很高兴看到我惊慌失措的摸样。我又气又恼，心里嘀咕着《好好玩咩》，正拿他没辙。
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.
So I was the one with all the glory, while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
Did you ever know that you're my hero, and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle, for you are the wind beneath my wings.
It might have appeared to go unnoticed, but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle, for you are the wind beneath my wings.
Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you,
Thank you,
Thank God for you,
the wind beneath my wings.

年夜饭之后，咱们一家大小浩浩荡荡去了吉隆坡的唐人街逛那“聊胜于无”的花市。最后折回独立运动场旁边的观音庙上香点灯。点灯时我心里想着《但愿大家幸福快乐》。
