偉樂坊聖誕裝飾

圓錐形的聖誕樹每年到了歲末，就會在烏節路長出來。有時候鉆到聖誕樹底部，把自己當成一份禮物，等著被人打開，也未嘗不是賞心樂事。

Wheelock Christmas Decorations

At the end of each year, cone-shaped Christmas trees grow on Orchard Road. Perhaps it may be a joy, from time to time, to get to the bottom of the Christmas tree and treat oneself as a present, waiting to be opened.

濱海灣花園雲霧林

「山不在高，有仙則名。水不在深，有龍則靈。」這裡有仙山，水中也有潛行的蛟龍，但這裡也有絲竹之亂耳，和案牘之勞形。恐怕，陋室不在這裡。

Gardens by the Bay Cloud Forest

“It is not about the height of the pinnacle. What gifts the mountain with prominence is the presence of a deity. It is not about the depth of the water. What grants the pond spirituality is the presence of a dragon.” There are fairy mountains here, and dragons churning in the water, but also a cacophony of silk and bamboo and the grind of grand bureaucracy. I'm afraid the ‘shabby hut’ is not here.

斯里尼瓦沙柏魯馬廟

眾神原本應該住在高山之上，但這裡沒有山，只能委屈你們住在房頂上曬太陽了。

Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple

Gods are supposed to live on high mountains, but since there are no mountains here, you have to resort to living on rooftops to bask in the sun.

如切路店屋的鐵柵門

雖然現在的你一動也不動，但我還是能聽到兩片鐵柵門甩到一起緊閉的聲音。這時候就無法分辨，門是鎖上的，還是閉上的。

Metal Gate, Joo Chiat Road Shophouse

Even though you are stock still at present, I can still hear the sound of two metal gates slamming shut. In this instant, it is impossible to tell whether the gate is locked or just shut together.

梧槽坊的最後身影

拆除工程展開之前，讓我們再到梧槽坊，向漆上黃、紅、藍和綠的四棟組屋告別。從此鏡頭裡面只留下一片慘白的天空。

The Last Silhouette of Rochor Centre

Before the demolition begins, let us head to Rochor Centre and bid farewell to the four HDB blocks painted yellow, red, blue and green. Of this view, only a forlorn sky remains.

如切路店屋之二

如切的店屋，更換了擺設和刷上新漆，讓人感覺置身在倫敦的諾丁山。時空之錯亂是冠病後遺癥，還是熱帶的骨痛溢血熱？

Joo Chiat Road, Shophouse II

Joo Chiat shophouses, with their renovations and new paint, make you feel like you’re in Notting Hill, London. Is the confusion of time and space a symptom of long Covid, or tropical dengue fever?

淡馬錫初級學院「傳薪閣」

薪火相傳，是對這個小島上華族語文及文化傳承的美好祝願。淡馬錫初級學院第三代語文特選課程專屬課室，接下來也會因為校舍重建走入歷史。幾年後它將浴火重生，不變的是一代又一代傳薪人的精神。

Temasek Junior College, Chuan Xin Block

A passing of the torch: the best that can be wished for the legacy of Chinese language and culture on this small island. The third generation of Temasek Junior College’s Chinese Language Elective Programme classrooms will also pass into history, following of the redevelopment of the school building. In a few years, it will be reborn from the ashes, leaving unchanged the spirit of generation after generation of the salaried classes.

中央消防局雕像

一度是市中心最高的建築，位於皇家山（福康寧山）腳的中央消防局現在已經是巨人中的矮子。昔日的「打火厝」仍堅守著崗位，經過它的時候，千萬別忘了致一個註目禮。

Statue at Central Fire Station

Once the tallest building in the city, the Central Fire Station at the foot of Fort Canning Hill is now a dwarf among giants. The "fire house” of yore still sticks to its post; when you pass by, do not forget to eye salute.

濱海灣花園東

從滄海變成草坪，再建起高樓與高科技的室內花園，濱海灣的轉變只花了不到五十年的時間。相機只能捕捉這一個瞬間的光影，想找回過去的面貌，只能靠回憶與文字。

Gardens by the Bay East

From sea to meadow, to high-rise building and high-tech indoor garden, Marina Bay has been utterly transformed in under 50 years. A camera can only capture the light and shadow of this moment; if you wish to gaze upon the visage of the past, you can only fall back on memory and language.

倒影中的聖約瑟夫教堂

密陀路橫貫大馬路（橋北路）到七馬路（實利基路），路邊的大樓玻璃窗也把周邊的景象切割得七零八落。你還看得出這是哪裡嗎？

St. Joseph’s Church in Reflection

Just as Middle Road intersects seven other roads beginning with North Bridge Road and ending with Selegie Road, so does the glass windows of the buildings on the side of the road slice up their surroundings. Can you still see where this is?

淡濱尼41街貓咪

新加坡不只是人的世界，也是動物的家園。淡濱尼組屋區遊蕩的社區貓咪不少，有很多習慣被人餵養，更有見慣了「好攝之徒」的，看見相機對準了它還能一臉安詳。

Tampines Street 41 Cats

Singapore is not only a human realm, but also home to many animals. Quite a few cats roam the residential neighbourhoods of Tampines: where some become used to being fed by human hands, and many others, inured to the many roaming disciples of good photography, return the gaze of cameras with perfect equanimity.

梧槽坊組屋

梧槽坊政府組屋是市區入口的衛士，驅車「下坡」（指大小坡，市區）的人們，如果不願意支付進市區的費用，就會把車停在這個組屋停車場。沒想到為了建設南北交通廊道，四座顏色鮮明的組屋竟然慘遭拆除。屋頂的那群鴿子，不知道最後在哪裡落腳？

Rochor Centre

The Rochor Centre HDB flats are the gateway sentries of the city centre. Those driving downtown, reluctant to pay fees to enter the city centre, would park here. Who would have thought that, to develop the North-South traffic corridor, these four brightly coloured apartment blocks would, tragically, have to be demolished? Those flocks of pigeons on its rooftops, where are they going to end up?

中正中學牌坊

加東月眠路的中正中學，上個世紀50年代曾經一度朝著「萬人學校」的目標發展。總校與分校的在校學生人數，最多時超過5000人。如今雖然沒有當年的雄心壯志，但見證了本地華校歷史的校門牌坊和行政樓，已在2014年被列為國家古跡。

Chung Cheng High School Memorial Arch

In the 1950s, Chung Cheng High School (Main) on Goodman Road in Katong aspired to become a “School of 10,000”. However the school population among its two campuses (main and branch) barely exceeded 5000 at its peak. While the school no longer aspires to its bold ambition of old, its archway and administrative building, testament to the history of local Chinese schools, were listed as national monuments in 2014.

　　《字花》No. 99➡以貌取書

　　書籍封面設計是要引起探索、互動、關心與觸碰。──Chip Kidd

　　今期《字花》以「以貌取書」為題，細述書籍設計的故事，回看經典的本地文學書設計、訪問書籍設計師及書店店長等等。

內容簡介：

　　書籍是立體的形式，盛載著內外，其存在就是一個故事。只是對於電子形式，臉的意義其實不大。書放久了變色，不小心碰傷，正如人也會老去，說的始終是實體，和那雙手。負荷、美感、分寸，來自人與人之間，也回到人與人之間。──關天林〈有度未為書〉
