《呼叫风车路 Recall Jalan Gurdwara 》
我住在靠近风车路的一条街：七条路半将近20余年，过去也不曾主动去探讨风车路的由来，从前每天都需要经过的这条路，应该有好多故事可以分享才对。当负责策划这场风车路展览的朋友约我参与走街和制作小志时，对这条路的印象和回忆才逐渐被唤醒，所以我就以自己与风车路有什么关系作为这本小志的构想。
I have been a resident on a street near Jalan Gurdwara, called Herriot Street, for over 20 years. In the past, I never actively looked into the history of the road I passed by every day, even though it surely holds countless stories worth sharing. It wasn’t until a friend who was organising an exhibition about Jalan Gurdwara invited me to join a heritage walk and create a zine that my memories of this place began to awaken. That is how the idea for this zine came to be—rooted in my personal connection with Jalan Gurdwara.
小时候午夜不睡觉，跟邻居骑着邻居阿嫲借的老式脚踏车在风车路上互相追逐，再穿梭于头条路至八条路之间，当时这些路都没有什么车行驶，理所当然地被我们当成大型游乐场玩乐，只是现在想起当时我们这群屁孩的嬉闹算蛮大声的，应该有打扰到人家睡觉，现在要跟那些当年被扰乱清梦的人说声抱歉。
When I was a kid, I’d stay up late at night, riding an old-fashioned bicycle borrowed from a neighbour's grandmother. My neighbour and I would chase each other down the Road, weaving through the Seven Streets Precinct. Back then, there was hardly any traffic, so we naturally treated the streets as our giant playground. Looking back, we were quite a noisy bunch of kids, and we probably disturbed the neighbours' sleep. To anyone whose peaceful night we ruined back then, I sincerely apologise!
中学少女时期，有着少女爱幻想追星的特质，因此每个星期都会步行到普陀岩寺旁边的报/包摊购买当年著名的娱乐周刊Epop，顺便买个热腾腾的包点和烧卖，印象中还蛮好吃的。后来搬家时，清算了一下也有300多本，当时一本售卖3令吉，换算到来接近RM1000，对当时还是学生的我算是不小的消费。这本杂志陪伴我度过了一段可爱的青葱岁月，一些珍贵的偶像海报没有留着还挺可惜的。如今其实体印刷杂志停止出版了，报摊也没有营业了，全面转向网络与电子化发展，也象征了一个时代的变迁。
During my teenage years in secondary school, I was like any daydreaming, star-struck girl. Every week, I would walk over to the newspaper and Bao stall next to the Phu Thor Yen Temple to buy the famous entertainment magazine, Epop. While I was at it, I’d grab a piping hot bao and siew mai—they were so delicious! When I truly moved to another place, I counted my collection and realised I had over 300++ issues. At RM3 a copy, that added up to nearly RM1000, which was quite a huge expense for a student at that time. That magazine accompanied me through a sweet and youthful period of my life, though it's a pity I didn't keep t
