There was once a very handsome wealthy student. When he was travelling to do exams in the capital he found accomodation in a monk's house. Every moring he woke up to see his desk & chair & brush & ink all cleaned and arranged in perfect order. He even got daily fresh flowers in his vase. The student started dreaming: people usually say there are lots of beautiful fox spirits in this area. maybe there is one here and she is attracted to me, hence doing all these things for me.:D He was hoping for that with all his heart till one night he broke a corner of the paper window and looked into his study. No surprise he saw someone tidying the room for him, but the person was not a beautiful girl, but a bulky bearded middle aged man! He was horrified and moved house the next day, when he was moving he could hear sighing in the air... O.O
foxy violence
A family had a loft occupied by a family of fox spirits. Everyday they could hear the fox spirits talking and laughing, but they never harmed other people so the family just let them be. One day people gathered in the house and heard fighting noises from the loft, everyone sat closer to it to listen to 八卦. :D Then they heard a voice asking them: gentlemen from downstairs, please tell me: how can a wife bash up her husband like this??? There was one among those downstairs who just had a fight with his wife and he still had a fresh wound on his face from the fight. so people all laughed and told the fox: such things happen a lot these days. No surprise! the fox spirits laughed too after hearing that and stopped their domestic violence. :D
son & water
A magistrate's daughter had obsessive unrequited love for a scribe working under her dad, so she secretly sent her servant girl to bring her the water in which the scribe washed his hand. she drank the water and became pregnant and gave birth to a son. When the child can walk the magistrate brought the kid out for him to point out his dad. The child ran up and hugged the scribe. The scribe was so horrified and pushed the child away. The child fell, and became a pool of water. The magistrate interrogated his daughter, after he found out what happened, he forced the scribe to marry his daughter. 囧
a desiring heart
a peasant found an egg and started dreaming: the egg will hatch a chicken, chicken will produce more egg, more egg turn into more chicken, next month i will have 15 chicken, 15 will become 300, i can use the 300 to swap to 150 oxen, and in the end i can use the oxen to buy a concubine. His wife was furious and smashed the egg. The couple went to see the magistrate. husband cried: this evil woman has destroyed all my properties! magistrate asked: where is your property? how did she destroy it? Husband told the story of the egg and the concubine. magistrate mused: this much property! all gone because of your wife!of course she deserves to be punished. The woman cried: all he said was just in his imagination! Why am i guilty? Magistrate asked: He is no way close to getting a concubine yet! why were you jealous? Woman replied: I am just cutting the root of all evil. Magistrate laughed: he has greed. you have jealousy. Both unrealistic and excessive. In your illusions experiencing such satisfaction or hatred is just pointless and absurd.

Chinese tales
pretty ppl & beautiful kids
i will write a blog without talking about masha... :D
anyways... reali old twnese series are so beautiful... the other day i had a reali gd discussion about olden day dramas with an aunty at church. we remember many of the old 琼瑶 series with such fondness cos the actresses were all so pretty, then we sighed: the gals in 琼瑶 series nowadays are really not pretty at all... >.<
and today i was just watching the theme song video of this reali old series over and over again... I watched the series in grade 2... thought all the female actresses were so pretty(i even thought the evil mother-in-law was really pretty too)...
and its gd to bring bk those beautiful memories.
the main actress was a famous hongkie actor who went mad and now lives an impoverished despised life. so sad... >.<
i dont like very pretty brighted-eyed smart-looking kids... but i absolutely adore those who have reali squinty eyes and a typical troubled look on their faces.
My fav child is this girl i saw once at church. Pastor was preaching a sermon, and i think the mother wanted to keep the girl quiet so she brought out this huge bag of snacks for her to eat during the sermon.
she had a mushroom head, chubby face, and seasame-like eyes. For the whole sermon she turned her back to the pulpit, staring blankly into all our faces, and silently munching on her snacks NON-STOP.
and all this time with this sad...troubled...perplexed expression on her face, despite how satisfied she was with her bagful of snacks.
when the pastor finished the sermon i was all hearts and flowers. :D
for a while I didn't see her, now I dont even know whether she is still in church or not... *cries*
My Favourite Physicist
the movie Yougisha X no Kenshin (容疑者Xの献身)will be shown in less than 1 month time.
in elated anticipation i went back and had another read of the novel highlights---
---and realised...
Its not because of Masha that I started to like Yuka-sensei, its because of Yuka-sensei that I started to like Masha.
and its more because of Yuka-sensei in the novel than in the tv series.
Yougisha X no Kenshin is so popular, because its a touching story about a perfect crime committed sacrificially by a mathematician for the person he loves.
However I was 10 times more touched by Yuka-sensei when i read of him saying the following words:
这个世上没有无用的齿轮，也只有那个齿轮能决定自己的用途。
There is no useless gear in this world, and only that gear itself can determine its use.
only after all the mysteries unfolded in the story can you realise how noble and merciful those words were.
*tears streaming down like seaweed* Yuka-sensei~ *hearts*
Ending theme for the movie is beautiful, Masha wrote & composed & played the song so of course :D
i went in for a 4-hr cover-shift with Danielle tonite... initially thought i will just leave abit early and crash young adults later. then had a IV for a old man and failed twice... 囧... (and I feel sorry for him cos he's frail and demented and couldnt complain or refuse or yell at stupid med student...)more 囧...
so wen everything is done its already 930... and hence: me so tired so i will just drive home now... despite having taken most of the day off and had a haircut and enjoyed myself with food and various other things.
but otherwise it was peaceful and slack and we had a prolonged dinner. :D danielle was telling me about the impossible work load and i advised her to utilise her med students as much as possible next wk *LOL I hope Alison wont mind...* :D
and i told her about able to do my devotion every morning now b4 WR starts and feeling much happier b/c of that, and also about spotting a doctor in the northern who looked like Masha in his youth... *大心+ giggle + 害羞地跑开* :D
It was really good catching up and I am happy :D
so yeh these days still 囧 but happily running forward~
