山里的小公主

在偏远的尼泊尔山区,有个小村庄(Ghandruk),住着一位小女孩。她有着很好听的名字,叫卓雅。
她头发被剪得很短,额前留着齐齐的刘海。
她爱奔跑,爱摘庭院里种的花,然后把它们捏成瓣儿再往上空抛去,
也爱把瓣儿往额头上贴,或许他们家里有着印度人般在额头点一点红的习俗。
她笑的时候很美
可她爱闹别扭,一不顺心便撅起嘴说一些我不明白的怨言。
她不知道照相机的什么,只是呆呆地看我拍了照片,我把照片递到她面前让她看,她也没啥反应,看了一眼就别过了头。

这样很好。
不必故作可爱地比出胜利的手势
不必故意在镜头前卖弄笑颜
不必站在特定的位置寻找美丽的风景
小孩就应该这样

真。这样很好。
她和她的小红靴。

  1. Hello!

    First and foremost, congratulations on your recent fossil discoveries albeit it was last year! Let me introduce myself. My name's Tracy and I'm a college student currently doing A Levels. I have great interest in pursuing palaeontology as a career choice after completing my Pre-U course and was absolutely elated after I read the news of the recent fossil discoveries. What a breakthrough for our country! I felt somewhat relieved as well since no fossils have ever been discovered on home grounds before last year and such findings should be celebrated nationwide. However, you can imagine my dismay when I found out that palaeontology was not an available course here. Hence, I've resorted to applying for further studies overseas and was successful in obtaining offers from several UK universities to pursue masters in palaeontology.

    As I was reading the articles, I stumbled upon the mention of your name and that you are a UM postgraduate in Geology. Hence, I thought you might be able to give me a little insight into your field of study as I understand palaeontology and geology are quite closely related. I have found it quite difficult to get proper advice from the people around me as none of them can quite grasp the scope of this area of study. In fact, most if not all have discouraged me from pursuing this course. With that said, I was wondering if you could provide me some advice or feedback on your thoughts towards your course and the challenges you've faced pertaining to it thus far.

    Hope to hear from you soon.

    Thank you.

    Sincerely,
    Tracy Tan.
