萬聖節公司派我出差,巧遇萬聖節。

我是梅麗玲(1996年5AH2),已婚並育有一名與我同月同日生的女兒,她是我2005年收獲最貴重的生日禮物。

我在中五後與同窗好友七姐妹吳莉萍,張寧玲,黃翠莉,劉春燕,洪淑萍分開,僅和謝兩真兩姐妹到吉隆坡拉曼學院,其他姐妹則在檳城,當時只能在一年一度的新年相聚。

在拉曼求學其間,我與安婷,淑芝和志聰同系,4年後到英國沙飛參與夏日課程,跟進3個月,當時有幸與其他吉華生團聚,是最開心的日子了。

男友在我完成課程後,飛到英國與我同遊,較後我們便回國。我在北海工作,一做就做了3年,從採購員開始至升上了program(CS lead),這是一項很有挑戰性的工作。

很久都沒有同學們的消息了,很高興看見這個網站,讓我們有再聯絡的機會。

以上的照片攝於2004年10月,美國三翻四搞,萬聖節(10月31日),當時公司派我出差。

我第一次真正看見人們慶祝萬聖節,也第一次深入地感受異國文化,他們在當天盡興裝飾家里,小孩大人都扮鬼扮妖,非常漂亮,希望可與你們分享。

小时候,常看到电视上老外穿着古里古怪,扮鬼扮马,不知庆祝什么。直到长大些,才了解到原来有 “万圣节” 的存在。與华人的”鬼节”不同,外国人在万圣节時,会把屋里屋外布置一翻,摆放南瓜 (万圣节的像征),鬼公仔,人骨头…….就是要那几分邪气,到处也可见到南瓜雕塑比赛。

万圣节当天,男女老少都穿上个自所准备的特別服装,非常古怪。有vampire look,蜜蜂,Harry Porter,巫婆,戏剧人物等等。

小孩子们会先聚集在一起,然后到邻居家去敲门,然后说“Trick & Treat !”大多数人家都会准备很多糖果派给那些到访的小朋友。听朋友说有时還花上几百块钱买糖果都不够派,因为有些小孩子们是一整辆巴士去的,到那些高级住宅区去拜访。

大人们都会忙于打扮自己,出席大人的Halloween Party去,有些地方甚至封路,来一个 street party。因为近年来太多刑事案发生,政府也就发了道”不准在露天喝酒”的条律。

我想,马来西亚虽没有类似的庆祝,但相信一些pub也有Halloween的怖置以满足在这儿逗留的外国游客吧!在此也祝大家Happy Belated Halloween 万圣节快乐!
