An issue with a family member or roommate upsets the harmony in your home on Monday and Tuesday

Schoolwork or chores get in the way of fun over the weekend. Your time isn't your own, unfortunately

MUST HOROSCOPES BE THAT ACCURATE !!??!! LETS SEE NEXT FEW DAYS:

26 May: You may feel a bit of strain today as you try to figure out the best way to get to where you need to be, Cancer. On the one hand, the happy approach calls for you to let loose, be courageous, and strike out with conviction toward the things that mean the most to you. On the other, a sense of duty holds you back. Take the best of both worlds. Come up with your own plan of attack.

You can help build morale by bringing in a snack or going out to eat with co-workers on May 26 (I was thinking to bring!). You could feel moody on May 27. (PTM??)

Hooray for not lowering down MT weighting, for godness sake for those anti MT esp chinese, look yourself in a mirror and ask yourself who are you? what is in your blood? common, even the westerners are learning our languages what makes you think it has no use, you just dont see the culture in it. you are but blind bats turning to echos of the lure.

I remember someone asked me this question: why are people getting more petty? I think the answer lies on this thing you're facing right now. By now, I'm sure most do realize the absurdity of technology. It is an inversely related thing, the more a country is technologically advanced, the lesser the real bonds between humans. Nowadays these bonds are so virtual, so unreal, this is a reason I find myself hard to sustain a conversation more more than 10 rounds. In the future, those who values friendship will be the creme de la creme, a one-of-a-kind, a living treasure. People now could chat so lively in the virtual world, yet speechless in the reality. People getting hooked with games that eventually they loathe to even step out of the house, or even just to get up and shit. Thats why brotherhood to them means nothing, or rather it would perish from the dictionary then. I used to be beleaguered by debts last year, I let petty took charge for this year, and other than the presents for birthdays, I have loads of money left. Technology create comfort, but it erodes empathy. It would soon be almost impossible to put oneself in another's shoe in the future.

Today is screwed, I got all the wonderful ideas but my brains are lagging, that the moment I recalled what to write, my hands had gone pass a paragraph. Oh well, it's only prelim...

Anyway today's poem is very meaningful and beautiful, yet the question kindda sucked.

My Grandmother

She kept an antique shop - or it kept her.
Among Apostle spoons and Bristol glass,
The faded silks, the heavy furniture,
She watched her own reflection in the brass
Salvers and silver bowls, as if to prove
Polish was all, there was no need of love.

And I remember how I once refused
To go out with her, since I was afraid.
It was perhaps a wish not to be used
Like antique objects. Though she never said
That she was hurt, I still could feel the guilt
Of that refusal, guessing how she felt.

Later, too frail to keep a shop, she put
All her best things in one narrow room.
The place smelt old, of things too long kept shut,
The smell of absences where shadows come
That can't be polished. There was nothing then
To give her own reflection back again.

And when she died I felt no grief at all,
Only the guilt of what I once refused.
I walked into her room among the tall
Sideboards and cupboards - things she never used
But needed; and no finger marks were there,
Only the new dust falling through the air.

Yesterday had one of the most enjoyable training. Morning I was late as I had to wait for shixiong to hide the cake for shijie thus had to run 20 rounds instead of the expected 50 yuan di tiao. However seeing shijie in such a glee was fulfilling.

During training played lots of games, first is dog-n-bone. Then after that i the wushu catching game haha where to avoid being caugt must do some moves for the cather to follow. I realized it was extremely wearying with handful participant. Then when I lead them we did something very new to bedok i guess... we recite tang poems haha. So whoever couldnt continue the line was punished 10 yuan di tiao, including me cuz i had the first line wrong: tu(Hong) dou sheng nan guo.

I was amazed that I could remember those poems. It was approximately lower primary, when everyone had to memorize them for chinese. Since then I had never revised them nor putting any effort to remember them yet it just flows when I open my mouth, not fully aware of what came out. Anyway Mothers' Day coming so I guess have to write the 游子吟. Wanted to sing the mothers' day song yet was condemn for awful voice, sigh oh well...

Then followed shixiong to meet jiaolian group to eat, huizhen tagged along. Really entertaining to see huizhen guessing the seniors' age. Then ting sheng came up with a phy question that I just found out how to justify. I realized agin how important is force diagram. I was rather stubborn and lazy to draw but now i get it.

Parkour Motion Reel.



This is great

I was dumbfounded, parents of this generation should go for more parenting workshop, more time management workshop and perhaps, some psychology workshop as well as moral and values workshop…
I thought being deprived of 3 days of sleep to prevent ‘vegetables’ from being stolen are shocking enough, then goes suicide due to warcraft. These are still harming own selves, now this? This concerns not only another innocent life, but the torture the child went through being starved and missing from love. Really shocked, internet had reached its peak to kill human instead of helping them. Yet we can all do nothing, no use to adopt aggression towards it, it had went out of control.
Anyway I love this joke: 现代的人都是‘经里’,经常在家里!
