I just want to use every single word I know to curse the driving lessons I am taking now... The f*cking cars all do not have air-con, and the temperature in Nanjing is about 40 degrees, nice yea? free sauna? Yay, driving under the burning sun for hours... and yes, with the NICE coaches who do not know a thing about respect... This morning after spending 3 hours in the car, I could not take the heat and I started feeling dizzy, and I could see nothing bcos of the over-bright sunlight... So I wanted to take a rest, then guess what the coach said? "会读书有个屁用啊?一看就知道娇生惯养,一点苦都没有吃过……" fine... the coaches are either in the air-coned rooms beside or under the shadow of huge trees, which were well ventilated too... If there is one coach sitting in the windless + air-con free cars, I woulod not complain a thing... But now, I really cannot take it... The whole thing just sucked... There is no worse experience than that...

oh yes, things we learnt are SO INTERESTING and SO USEFUL!!! Doing funny things with the car which no driver would really do in real life... just for the sake of passing the driving exam... They tell you how to shift your car from one parking lot to the one next to it without moving out of the two parking lots... (fine, hopeless as I am, I will just park at the right position in the first place.) but they do not even mention how to park your car along the road...

yea, no wonder there are so many GOOD drivers here in China, no wonder there are so many accidents everyday...

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
