free time

see??told u i'm too free these days..always here blogging.hee=]

anyway, i read some chinese articles today!!very rare for me, coz i'll just feel sleepy whenever i see chinese characters..aiks..so, this book was from my small sis, she's trying to sell the book from 'jing cao' to earn money for choir. the chs students are selling them at rm12 while de choir members sell them 15 ringgit to outsiders..so, i'm so free that i pick up the book, and found something inspiring!! no la..just a random thought..

haha. anyway, first, i found a few familiar names in that book!!haha..i'm not really a language person, so i choose articles to read based on names (those that i noe)..haha..anyway, i start to really see the difference between writing in chinese and english. in chinese the poems really can be anything, meaningful or meaningless. and although some of them i don't even know what the heck its about, i know it should have meant something to the author..yep, chinese enable the writer to use metaphor sooooo abundantly that the readers don't even know what its about. english of course there are metaphor.. but i haven't came across one english poem use it so heavily that it can looked completely out of sense or off topic from the real meaning..yea yea..i probably haven't read something that artistic..i'm a malaysian chinese, so u should know how's my english level...

anyway, so maybe that's why some people like to write their thoughts in chinese poems..it can look soo artistic or sophisticated, as there are zero rules for a poem , and only a small insiders will be able to get the true meaning of the passage..oh well, either its secretive or artistic or writing with style i don't know..but for me, reading chinese poems sure is confusing..haha.. why turn a big big circle to deliver a simple message??haha..

hmmm..i'm from a chinese primary school and secondary school. so my chinese SHOULD be good enough to appreciate the art of chinese..i even got top marks for my chinese essay and once my essay was used as a model essay for the class!!yet i always think my chinese is bad, i hated to have to take the subject for spm..i'm glad i don't have to do anymore chinese wrting when i was graduated..yet now, i see that i could have another way of expressing myself if i could manage the art of chinese..then maybe i won't have so much trouble blogging..wanting to shout out loud yet afraid of spilling too much beans..this's my new perspective i guess..maybe with a passion to a language i would have excel more in my artistic side, rather than getting stuck in the 'blue' character and getting more extreme at the mo. maybe i'll get another way to express myself..

oops..thinking things i'm not..well, just trying to get another hobby..just to balance life a bit=]


til then.
