[原创] that is life

It is a weird world round me. I went to the canteen in our workplace for breakfast. Everybody is supposed to queue for their turns but some would not like to for they think they are a little bit special and in a higher place than me kind of common people. When asked the reason why they do not stand in a queue they will be more than willing to tell you that it is because you are in Tiantai, a place all rules and social conventions being ignored. I am kind of getting used to people’s jumping the queue. A minor functionary noticing people in a disorder waiting for their food thought it was not what should be like in such a good work unit as ours and he went ahead asking the other people to queue in a line. What happened next is sort of especially sarcastic because he himself cut in right in front of me, salivating at his own feed. He asked others to queue but why he has the privilege jumping the queue??

These days one of my friends keeps me informed of all the trouble she has came across when going for blind dates, among which the most embarrassing is that she went to date the guy who happened to have dated with another lady who is our mutual friend. Five months ago she had a sort of crash on a gentleman working as a general manager in a hotel but when she decided to go out with him seriously only to find that guy just days before had dated with one of her coworkers who is accidentally of her age and more or less her height and what is most bizarre is that she and the very coworker would talk with each other about their own love affairs sometimes. The most annoying thing is that the guy seems to be kind of showy when he asked her out and told her how he dated with the other lady. It is a terrible and small city, isn’t it? I think I am sort of lucky because I don’t have to go out for a blind date. An information society as it is, I do not think going for a blind date is a fashion. Why not get to know people on the Internet? Go to find some e-pals and then communicate with them for days and then choose a best one and tell him or her you want to be his girl or her boy, is it a good idea? Why on earth do so many people want to take so much trouble to ask go-betweens or matchmakers for help? What an idiot! I am sort of considering if one day I got dumped by the guy loving me right now I would turn to the Internet.

I felt kind of lonely when dining alone in the canteen and could not help thinking the forlorn future that I would live alone with my husband and kids being far away when I spotted one of my married colleagues was dining without any company. She has a husband and a lovely four-year-old daughter but she technically lives alone for her husband working in <city><place>Hangzhou</place></city> and her daughter being taken care of by one of her sisters-in-law. She has a chance to meet her family once a week, which is for sure far from being enough to a lady having such a little kid. Her crying of being separated from them in front of us when we were having dinner together at Shangerila just liked happening a second ago, making me kind of like having a lump in the throat, for the reason that I might live a life as hers. She is a strong lady both in the physical sense and in the mental way but she has hard times once in a while. I do have difficulty picturing what my future life will be like.

Too much coffee tonight gave me a headache and caused me to fall into wild fancies as well. Once again he just like a ghost cropped up in my mind. It is still hard to believe that he has dumped me though happening ages ago. I really could work out how come he could ignore all these promises he made and go for another girl. Well, I have got to move on, right? I watched an episode of the third season of “Desperate Housewives” this afternoon and had a slight impression of what Lynette retorted Mrs. Harvey: we all have sorrows but we swallow them. Since it is quite clear that not everything turns out as we will what we are supposed to do is to face all this dissatisfying stuff calmly. It would so unworthy when I was pining for him while he was enjoying his happy time with his current wife. Besides, a man loving me is waiting for my love, how should I still go mad at the past? Let bygones be bygones. It is totally not worth his haunting me. Bugger off, nabloodysty you, do not be in my way. I have turned over a totally new leaf.

sort of ended a friendship yesterday, not having got the picture how it could run in a reasonable way, and i, am still crazy about having been cheated twice. Anyway, the day before i sent back the two presents i got the next day after my birthday for they were prepared by the wrong person, whose guts i hate.

wanna hear good news? I have begun to write again : ) I had planned to upload something but i kind of have run out of time for the work sake.

for the sake of work.

It is about <time minute="0" hour="22">22:00 o’clock</time>, the regular time I get to bed, but I do not feel like to sleep at all because I keep thinking stuffs, good or bad. I went to a dinner party at around <time minute="0" hour="17">17:00</time> and ate a lot. For fear of gaining weight I decided to go for a walk on the main road, which is also for another reason that I could get familiar with some up-to-date stuff to keep up with times. Well, walking alone in the street did give me a sense of loneliness. I called my best friend and was told she was having some sweet time together with her boyfriend and some other friends, who later turned out to be another couple, which meant I was totally a sort of a third party disturbing them in some way. Had I known there were two couples earlier, I would never have jabbed myself in. But for god’s sake, I am not only getting shortsighted lately but also kind of insensitive to certain noises. Anyways, I went there only to feel worse than walked all alone in the street. The game they were playing was a four-people plaything, so I was not impolite enough to have a hand in it but sat there wasting two-hour precious time reading some tabloids full of gossips and a sort of magazines sharing some secrets on how to make up and dress up. Sometimes I do hate myself not being sensible and determined. Since I had no fun there, I should have moved my ass to somewhere else. You see, I am such a limp person.

Anything special happened today? Yep, there are heaps! I once again went to my grandparents’ on my mother’s side this morning. J I left for that sweet home at about <time minute="30" hour="8">8:30</time>, then 20 minutes later I arrived right at the place where the dearest live. Before I enter the gate of the house, I went to one of the branches of the industrial and commercial bank first, drawing certain amount of money to be given to my grandparents as a new year present, and then went to a photocopy shop to have some papers photocopied. The front door was locked and nobody was in the drawing room. Just wondering where all the family members could go I heard one baby cry from the backyard, so I have almost got to know what was going on and my guess turned out to be right when I came to the yard: they were all surrounding the baby girl basking in the pretty sunshine. The newly come family member for sure is the apple of everybody’s eye. She is nearly 7 months old now and she is growing day by day. I have to say her faces are much plumper than kept and expected in my mind. She likes chuckling and jumping. You can tell how energetic she is by how long she can keep jumping on your knees and how constantly she burst out chortling. It is a tiring job to look after her anyways. Grandpa and grandma always take turning hugging her in the arm or they would quarrel who can hug her for a longer time. She likes my grandma most because whenever she catches sight of my grandma she smiles and reaches out her tiny hands to her, which makes my grandma extremely happy, leading the old lady into a kind of funny paradise where she should be unbelievably childlike to argue with me for holding the baby girl too longer and try to get the baby from my hands.

It is soon the time to prepare lunch. Grandpa suggested buying some chestnuts to pouch with spareribs which were purchased by my grandma the day before when she went to some countryside for in their eyes pork produced by peasants are much better in every aspect than sold in food market. Some bones are rich in calcium, which is in need in older peoples’ body. I willingly offered the help but my grandma did not trust me to do the job because she thought I might be cheated by some vendors for lack of experience in buying vegetables. Since she would not like to leave the baby girl behind, she proposedI go to the food market in company with the old gentleman.

found another mistake in the first passage, I meant to say "I had planned to type more ..."

coldfeeter · 发表于 2007-2-2 18:01

and i meant to say "my grandparents take turns hugging her in the arm..."

coldfeeter · 发表于 2007-2-2 18:02

There are more mistakes than expected

coldfeeter · 发表于 2007-2-2 18:03

丫

coldfeeter · 发表于 2007-2-2 18:04

哎丫

More haste, more waste. Rushing the previous passages for the reason of time resulted in a lot of mistakes. So hopefully I will take time and try to avoid committing errors from this second on.

I changed a little bit after rereading the latest passage and the changes are underlines as follows:Happy time fleets and lunch time comes quickly. Grandpa suggested buying some chestnuts to stew with spareribs which were purchased by my grandma the other day when she went to some countryside because in their eyes pork produced by peasants is much better in every aspect than sold in food market. Some bones taken from pigs are rich in calcium, which is in need in older peoples’ body. I willingly offered the help but my grandma did not trust me to do the job thinking I might be cheated by some vendors for lack of experience in buying vegetables. She is always overprotecting us. Since she would not like to leave the baby girl behind, she proposed I go to the food market in company with the old gentleman.
