5. 新加坡!1938年11月至1939年6月

西南运输总处香港分处成立后,兵工署港办的业务并过去,我亦随同进香港分处运输科在赵廷珍副科长领导下做物质报表记录工作。 1938年10月日寇攻陷广州,港穗运输中断。当时滇缅公路已建成通车。军火器材等以及公私商品都经缅甸转运入国。我和兆锴,之国,启南,成辅被派到新加坡 (Singapore) 分处工作,大约在11月中同乘意大利邮船 VITORIA 轮赴新加坡。傍晚启碇,先去马尼拉,不料正遇大风浪,我们几人都呕吐不止,滴水不进,我还算是较轻的,翌日上午到达,不准上岸,只好在甲板上遥观一下马尼拉。下午开船,约在第四天到新加坡,一路风平浪静,天气晴好,所以觉得非常舒服。

西南运输处新加坡分处由陈质平(1980年3月7日见报载,他已去世了,年80)任处长,张元伦任秘书,赵廷珍,方兆锴为业务科正副科长,中国国货银行的夏日校任总务科科长,麦衮华任会计科科长。我和之国启南派在业务科,成辅在会计科。当时卸新的仅七船的物资,四五个月后即转运仰光完毕,而没有继续到来,所以我们也无什么工作可做了。新处另一重大任务是由陈质平联系华侨招送了几批数万名华侨司机回国到滇缅公路参加运输。

约在1939年的三四月间,陈质平与仰光分处处长陈清文对调。陈即带元伦,之国及符和萱等数人去仰接任。陈清文不久也带了一位萧秘书和孟昭常来新。

新加坡分处的同事们,左一是我。

在新期间, 曾随元伦夫妇到始赞兄在柔佛的橡胶园作客参观了一次,见到他的叔父全家和堂兄弟。始赞兄闻早已去新加坡了,不知他现在是新加坡籍还是马来西亚籍。

高许培(是出国赴德,还是由德返国,我已记不清了)乘轮经过新加坡,有停留时间。兆锴,之国,成辅及我在兆锴宿舍请他吃饭并住一晚再上船。闻他不幸前不久遇车祸事故去世,至为惋惜。

我们宿舍第二次搬到虎豹别墅附近。不远的山谷中有一绿草如茵的小型足球场。正好上海暨南大学足球名将符和萱与我们同事同住,他是陈质平的海南同乡。立刻和之国买了双足球鞋跟符和萱去球场练球,但为时不久,他和之国同调到仰光去了。

兆锴非常喜欢打桥牌,他本住科长宿舍不惯,后来搬到我们宿舍来了,每晚打桥牌,我自此才学会,但学不精。启南办事认真,他打牌也特别认真,之国也同我差不多。那时新加坡人口仅四十余万,我们住的几处宿舍,离闹市较远,看电影不方便,晚上没有什么好消遣,只有打打桥牌作玩。

在新加坡,我最欣赏的有两处, 一为老巴刹(Lau Pa Sat),即综合性的小饮食摊,类如上海城隍庙的小吃。离我们办公室不远。吃饭也可以,菜用的是小碟,可以拣点几种菜,量少花样多,价钱也便宜,所以附近各行各业的小职员差不多中午都在那里用膳,我因爱吃红烧肉,所以每周要去光顾一次。

因为新加坡人那时百分之八十多是我国侨胞,所以老巴刹的主顾都是同胞,印度人马来人也有些,西洋人就不大有了。现在想来数十年的变迁,科学技术突飞猛进,新加坡经济发达,那时的老巴刹近在港口,宝贵的土地上,恐早已不再存在了。 (注:老巴刹至今还在。Lau Pa Sat,built 1 March 1894;  also known as Telok Ayer Market,18 Raffles Quay, Singapore 048582,  opens daily)

另一处是新加坡的植物园(Singapore Botanic Gardens),面积大,设计建造得精美,管理得好,热带树木植物几乎各种都有,地靠赤道,终年繁茂,奇花异草,遍园皆是。步入园内使人凉爽畅快,心旷神怡。树林中猴子跳来跳去,跑上路来,向游人乞讨,非常有趣。真是一个度假的好去处,我想现在自较过去又进步不少了。

假日有时我们同事同到赵廷珍朋友家作客,在海边, 可以打网球,可以游泳,曾拍过照片,兆锴兄仍保存一张,去年翻印寄我,我又寄给之国,启南,那次我们几人都摄入,倒很珍贵。

在新加坡我曾去看过路过新加坡的德国网球名将克拉克和亨格尔的网球表演,当时是世界上数一数二的网球明星,但克拉克缘吝,终未能获得温布尔登的冠军。

1939年5月接缅甸 (Myanmar) 仰光 (Yangon) 分处的公事,调我去仰光分处工作。
