I'm bored...surprisingly, having nothing to do felt worse than EOY. I'd rather have the exams...then i can retake and do better haha.

anyway, i'm reading this 林语堂 book called 《京华烟云》。 it sounded like some stupid love story with the pink book cover and all. only turned out that it was a series of stories happening qing-->post qing--> republic of china--> kang ri. still its kinda nice and reminded me of 《红楼梦》, which i happened to like a lot.

anyway.

i saw this 宋词 while roaming aimlessly online and I LIKE IT ALOT!!! haha i dont really get the meaning though. but still here's the poem:

庭院深深深几许，杨柳堆烟，帘幕无重数。玉勒雕鞍游冶处，楼高不见章台路。 雨横风狂三月暮，门掩黄昏，无计留春住。泪眼问花花不语，乱红飞过秋千去。

and while reading Laura's blog i saw this poem which i happened to like as well. cheers honey! we have another thing in common!

Ode to a toilet
by Tamzin Merchant
I’ve never failed to notice how
Loos are generally excluded
From literature and suchlike,
And so I have concluded:

In general, as a Nation, we
Refrain from using ‘poo’ or ‘pee’
As a legitimate and pressing plight
For characters to exit downstage right

For when did Superman ever say
“Just a sec, love, don’t go away,
Hang on that ledge another mo
Coz when you gotta go, you gotta go!”

Likewise, Shakespeare never proclaim’d
“The human psyche is thus maim’d,
When one hath many things to do,
One always just pops to the loo.”

Caesar never said during orations
“Hang on there, plebs, hold your stations
Your imperial highness will be back in a bit
But just right now, I’m off to the Pit.”

Harry Potter and Friends don’t have time to poo,
Cos they’re always fighting You-Know-Who
They’re far too busy with that three-headed dog
To have time to pay a visit to the Bog.

And Frankenstein’s creature (so people thought)
Was never (lucky sod) caught short.
And so yours truly writes in conclusion:
There is a good deal of toilet confusion

Don’t be deceived by the characters you see
(From the Frodos to the Captain Cooks)
And here’s some advice to you from me:
Don’t believe everything you read in books.


Last but not least, according to my honey(haha):

(quoted from laura's blog again)
[Oh yes and by the way, Merchant was most famous for playing Georgiana Darcy in P&P (2005). She should be famous for this as well. ]

And need I mention that I TOTALLY agree with you?
