If any non-chinese happen to pass by, here's what the words in the red box(drawn by me) says:
"PSC scholarship awardee [19 years old, from RJC], (someone) says: 'I am very interested in civil service, so I would certainly serve my bond. Besides, since primary school, teachers have been inculcating the sense of responsibility in us, and that we must be responsible for our decisions, so I would not break the bond easily.' "
OMG! This person is either some hardcore moralist (probably extinct by now), or that he/she has the gift of smoking! Mind you, he/she is probably quoted in a survey. To be able to come up with that so quickly, one must be really talented in saying ~overpoweringly~ politically correct stuff! That might come in handy when he/she joins the civil service. That "besides, since primary school" part is really omgwtfbbqlol!
If someone happens to find out that this person was misquoted, you could leave a tag, so that I can edit this post accordingly.
Anyway, today was the first time I helped my mother make rice dumplings. Yes, this is my first time despite me being 18 years old already. I didn't know that bamboo leaves were hairy. Those I made are rather elongated, not a nice tetrahedral, and I make dumplings at like 1/3 the rate of my mother. But actually, the combination of these two shortcomings doesn't make it quite as bad. I did taste one of the dumplings I wrapped, it wasn't too bad (though frankly speaking, the taste of the dumping has nothing to do with how well it's wrapped.)
I was watching "Return of the Condor Heroes", and I found out that "Yin Zhi Ping" has changed his name to "Zhen Zhi Bing". According to my father and a post from an internet forum, Jin Yong changed the name in the novel because there was really a person called "Yin Zhi Ping" at that time and that it would be impolite to spoil his name until like that. (Really, I don't think anyone nowadays with the surname Yin would call their child Zhi Ping. Especially since Xiao Long Nv do exist in Singapore =P) Pretty interesting. I've also heard (from an unrealiable source) that Zhang Fei really existed in the Three Warring Kingdoms period, and that he was actually erudite and calm, in contrast to the rash and barbaric character in San Guo Yan Yi.
It just occurred to me that I've probably never claimed in my blog that I'll be mugging or that I'm mugging. I shall not make an exception this time.
