梦想型？ 红楼梦？ 我的梦？

当你漂流到荒岛，又饿又渴时，你会选择以下哪一种方法来最快喂饱肚子呢？
A。设陷阱抓山鸡
B。采椰子
C。在岸边捕鱼
D。捕猎野猪

选择A：你是“打拼型”上班族。在你的人生字典中，除了奋斗还是奋斗，你心中真正的想法，通常都不会告诉别人，但会处心积虑，暗中想尽办法得到。请留意方法是否恰当，以免得到“只顾自己，不顾旁人”的评价

选择B：你是“梦想型”上班族。你没什么事业野心，但对梦想很执着，为了实现梦想，你可以牺牲物质享受，也不和人夺权谋利。你却甘于如此，而且自得其乐。

选择C：你是“聪明型”上班族。你很聪明，很清楚如何在工作时省力和掌握重点，在短时间收到效果。你也是老板的宠臣，但你的耐性不足，很容易虎头蛇尾，需要加强耐力训练。

选择D：你是“脱线型”上班族。你虽然很想功成名就，但常搞不清楚事情的来龙去脉，属于状况外的人，公司里的消息，你通常是最后知道的。常容易把事情想得很简单，直到真正去做，才发现完全不是那回事。

Hmm the description seems apt and yet not apt.. haha.. The logic of the question is questionable so I’m not sure if the results are true.

Anyway I have just finished watching Dreams of the Red Chamber. I have always wanted to know Cao Xueqin’s classic Chinese novel Dream of the Red Chamber since my secondary school days and thus resorted to watching a China production of it to understand the story. Of course it is not the exact story replica but is sufficient to let me see the power corruption of the bureaucracy, the decline of a powerful family and the ill-fated lovers of Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu. Daiyu is a highly emotional lady which is prone to weeping partly due to her fate of repaying her “debt of tears”. She is also highly critical especially of the current feudal system and loves burying the withered flower. She is the exact opposite of Xue Baochai’s who later became Baoyu’s wife due to family’s arrangements. The marriage is also the cause of Daiyu’s death and is a stark contrast of a joyous occasion and a solemn one.

The ending is one of sorrow and gratefulness. When the Jia Clan falls into disfavour with the Emperor, and their mansions are raided and confiscated. The servants were sold or committed suicide to pledge loyalty. The main characters either sentenced to death or grieved to death or were sold too. But those who once accepted the favour of the family had actually came to give whatever little assistance they could to help the living. In one scene was the old lady who actually sold all her possessions to redeem the daughter of a main character. It shows that the world can be very cruel and yet very kind too.

Guess I’m a Daiyu type of person, not the beauty or intellect part, but the moody and critical part… And right now, I’m just grateful for seeing the balance in everything considering my penchant towards extreme and paradox. Maybe there are times I ponder why I don’t wish to aspire higher in career considering my competitive nature, but when I see the indulgence and politics of that world, I knew the reason why. But I’m also fully aware that money, which may be the root of evil, is an essential evil. So I end up indecisive about my dreams...

Hmm guess I’m just thankful to be surrounded by people who care for me. Yesterday I realised 2 of my friends gathered I have graduated through my blog.. haha and one chided that I did not tell him but hey you were on leave and so wasn’t online so cannot blame me hahaha. Thanks for dropping by. And I still don’t think I look like Wang Zhen Zhen with my specs. In fact, the only comment I remember is a not so flattering description of my be-spectacled look where my glasses were described to be thick when seriously I doubt it is thicker than the commenter… But that is like eons ago. So when you said I suddenly look 斯文, the naughty me said you are implying that the usual me is fierce la.

And I’m still grateful for M for offering a spare ticket on the very day my brother had discussed that he will attend this round. It’s like God-send and I’m not the only one who felt that way, my mum also used the exact same words when I told her about it. Hmm see if I remember to recount this incident to you personally as I have once again forgotten to mention it when I messaged you. And as much as I applaud your recycling effort of converting the gown to a probable curtain, I highly doubt it will materialise haha. Talking about recycling effort though, I was quite shocked to receive a plastic flyer from Starhub last Sunday in Orchard. And I thought plastic price is increasing because of the rise in oil prices? I really don’t know if there really is a need for flyers especially when most of it goes straight into the bin…

That reminds me, hey QR, have you scan finish? Haha .. After which I can say thanks to you too “p
