random thots..

For today's English class, we were supposed to read this article called "old faithful". It is a really interesting essay, the author was talking about the relationship between his boyfriend. The author was amazingly humorous..

A tiny splinter must have felt on his palm and he claims to know exactly how Jesus must have felt on the cross.

We had the exact same symptoms, yet he insisted that his virus was much more powerful than mine.
'you can at least move your hands' he said.
'No' I told him, 'it was the wind that moved them. I have no muscle control whatsoever.'
'liar'
'Well, that is a nice thing to say to someone who will probably die during the night. Thanks a lot.'

This is just so sweet.. haha fighting who is more sick..

then in this article there are something I cant agree more... "I should have taken it more slowly, measured him out over the course of fifty years rather than cramming him in so quickly."

generally I like this article.. hehe before the discussion today, Prof Cyan told us, "erm, there is one thing I want you all to pay attention to, the author is called David Sedaris" I was shocked, isnt David a guy's name? then after I read again, I realised that this article was talking about the marriage or relationship between him and his partner.. after that some of the juice thing which did not make sense when I first read the article made perfect sense then.. haahaa.. but I think this article is better than any argumentative essays about homosexuality I have ever read, throughout the essay, I thot it was about heterosexual relationship because the description made it so normal. I mean when I read people argue if homosexuality is normal or abnormal, I have the perception that because it is abnormal, that is why the author is trying so hard to prove it normal.. okie I sound nonsensical.. I mean the author made me feel that homosexuality is just so normal, like all of us. They expect commitment from their spouse or partner too.. blah blah..

some other things.. today the French gal in my English class was wearing a Man U T shirt, so I ask her, "Are you a fan of Man U?" Then she replied, "Rooney is my life!!" I was like, oh okie.. Then some American boy screamed, "Gosh, Rooney, isn't he the England potato?"

and during my Anthro discussion today, I was in the same group as the Italian guy, haha then I teased him that if his national team cant get into Euro 2008, they will have to wear the 4 star shirt back to Italy.. He was quite worried lah.. haha.. but he is really shuai! >_<

ps: I downlaoded the movie, the Phantom of the Opera.. was playing it on my laptop over and over again.. i love the music.. =p

pss: some really interesting flash about the difference between Italians and other Europe ppl.. Will send to the Italian Shuai4 ge1 later.. haha

People have asked me why my name is so damn bloody hard to pronounce, I would say it's not my problem. Just in case anyone who is interested to find out what the name actually means, here it is:

萱 pronounces as xuan, is the flower called daylily pictured above;

仲 pronounces as zhong, means I am the second child in the family

弦弦诉人意,弓弓道世情

可以高贵,可以平凡
可以不问英雄出处
可以痴情风流的二胡
一弦可以大江东去
一弦可以月游西湖
一曲未了竟有琴弦启开江南
让俏丽的姑娘
用浓浓的茉莉花语
从红袖里伸出酥手
把一个河山香透

My Erhu, My Forever Love
