温馨雅室别样红———梁思成与林徽因故居(ZZ)

新林院8号,中国现代著名建筑师梁思成与林徽因从1946年到1954年的居所,不仅见证了清华建筑系创建的历史、新中国文物保护事业的起步,而且从这里诞生了新中国国徽、人民英雄纪念碑等设计方案。今天的新林院8号仿佛依然清茶飘香、意韵隽永。



梁思成与林徽因

典雅的居室

抗日战争胜利后,清华大学复员北平。1946年10月建成已逾十载的新林院8号,迎来新的主人———梁思成、林徽因一家。

新林院 8号小院周围,砌了低矮的砖垛略作围护,四周花木扶疏,阳光自林荫透过。正房十分高大,前檐砌出拱形雨篷,当时未装暖气,冬天要烧三四个大火炉取暖;正房与后院之间是教授们余暇聚会的场所。相邻几个小院围合成的空场地供孩子们嬉戏,也时常放映露天电影。

据林洙女士回忆,1948年,她初到新林院8号拜访梁思成和林徽因,古色古香的起居室令她记忆犹新:“靠窗放一个大沙发,在屋中间放一组小沙发。靠西墙有一个矮书柜,上面摆着几件大小不同的金石佛像,还有一个白色的小陶猪及马头。家具都是旧的,但窗帘和沙发面料却很特别,质感很强。……像这个客厅这样朴素而高雅的布置,我却从来没有见过。”

此时,梁家保留了抗战前住在北总布胡同时期的“午后茶聚”习惯。每天下午四点半开始,金岳霖、陈岱孙、张奚若夫妇、周培源夫妇和建筑系师生相继到来,哲学、美学、艺术、社会、城市规划、建筑设计、马恩著作等广泛的话题都在讨论之列,实质上就是一个小型文化沙龙。女儿梁再冰至今仍清楚地记着:“我每周回到新林院8号时都发现,这里是一个各种活动———学术的和生活的中心。来到这里的主要是各种年龄的、清华一些不同系的教授、教员和学生们。”

Crocs sandals

Suddenly one special looking sandals get popular. The brand is Crocs. It even opens a brand store at Marina Square. The design idea is from Dutch wooden shoes, I guess. A pair of Crocs sandals is sold at around SGD 50. The price is justified for what it is made of - Croslite. Based on Crocs website, "Croslite™, a proprietary Closed Cell Resin (PCCR) which is NOT plastic NOR rubber. Croslite™ is closed-cell in nature and anti-microbial, which virtually eliminates odor. it is an extraordinary impact absorbing resin material developed for maximum cushioning. its closed cell properties resist odor, inhibits bacterial and fungal growth and are non toxic. this versatile material can be worn next to skin and be cleaned with just soap and water." However, it really looks like made of plastic or rubber, and the design is unique. Replica comes. they are sold at SGD 20, SGD 10, SGD 5 depending on quality.

Singapore Girl Sex Clip Posted Online

A couple days ago, a sex video clip about a female Chinese graduate student Wang Ting Ting (王婷婷) was posted on the internet. Just as it is about to cool down, another sex video clip pops. It is a sex clip of a Singapore Nanyang Polytechnic student . The video clip was stored on her cell phone. Someone stole it and posted the video clip on the Internet. This is a breaking news. It is even reported on major Singapore and Malaysia newspapers. Now we have so many cool gadgets. It is a breeze to shoot photos/videos, and share them on the internet. Everyone, even dog, is on the internet waiting for breaking news. Be careful when you do something secret or stupid. It may appear all over the world, live!

No smoking sign

Watch out this sign before you light the cigarette up. SGD 1000 fine! However, I wonder if someone had really paid so much for violation.

Prostitutes in Singapore

Singapore is very realistic about this issue. Prostitution is legal. The famous red light zone is Geylang area. I heard Hong Kong officials are considering to legalize this business in HK also. Singaporeans are not allow to work as prostitute. Maybe also SPR. The prostitutes are mainly foreign workers from poor countries in SEA area, such as Indonesia, Thailand, India, Malaysia, not from China. They come under special 2-year working pass, and must pass the health exam, yes, to prevent STD such as HIV, AIDS and so on. The brothels are mixed with normal resident houses. The brothel's house number is red lighted. The price is ranged from SGD 50 to SGD 200. Illegal sex workers are also around, and in some massage clinics. A very recent fatal case and newly effective government policy make a special social group - Chinese accompanying mom for studying kids a hot media buzz again.
