Troubled Mind

About my troubled mind is because I am too greedy. I always pursue the maximum of my desire, after that I would creat trouble for myself. But mostly I like to listen to symphony music or other classical music would change my bad mood. Thanks David Garrett. He is a great rock violin player. So if let my describe my mood now, I think Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 is the best description. I am thinking of something. In addition, I think I need a great amount of courage since I don't want to take a risk.

In this summer I will graduate from the university and suddenly I have the feeling of loss. I still want to take more Germen and Vietnamese course in my university. Time flies. I cannot believe that I have studied four years already in my university. I will miss the time there. I guess so.

The story of Morin Khuur

About the horse-headed fiddle, Morin Khuur, is the instrument most associated with Mongolian traditions and culture. Why called it "morin"? Because mor(in) means the sound of horse. In ancient time, horse is not only the important transport but also the good friends for Mongols, especially for men. So many songs and poems were written extolling the horse. There are several visions for legend about how the Morin Khuur was first created, and all based on a little boy's love for a dead horse.
Long ago, there was a poor boy who had the magical horse which could run faster than a wind and even fly on wings. The horse gets killed by jealous rich man who was loosing all the races. He was very sad and made a musical instrument from the horse to mourn and to express his sorrow in remembrance of his best loyal friend. It was unlike today's horse-headed fiddle. It used to be made of horse ribs and its base of horse skin; however, nowaday all of the part made of wood. Besides the head of fiddle is carved of wood and placed at the top. As for the two strings are made of long tail hair of horses, also this is a unique handmade way that makes the strings to produce heavenly sounds as the horse to mourn.

My chinois name

I just tell my foreign pen pals to write "Shane Wang", actually Wang is my family name. In Taiwan, the family name puts on the front. It's same as the Japanese name of system. And the letter I sent yesterday, she has introduced her name to me, most Japanese see her name in kanji would suppose that is a boy name. Then I told to her that her name in kanji in Taiwan would be popular to use for girls. She asked me why, and I replied to her, "友樹(Yu ki) can explain that you plant the seedlings which is named after freidnship in other's heart." Because 友 means the friend in kanji, and 樹 is tree in kanji meaning. So our girls would like to name after this kind of name. She was happy after I told her the different explaining.
So now I guess Linda would also curious with my name in kanji meaning. My family name inherits father's surname, Wang=王. It is easy to write and the meaning is "King" or "Winner".
Shih=詩, it means poem and poetry. In ancient Asian society, only the officials can learn how to write and read the books. At the beginning, my parents expected that I would be a versatile person when I was born. Or you also can think that my parents hope I could become a total person.
Ting=婷, it stands for the beautiful and wonderful. Because my parents choose this word, you can see the left part is 女 (it means girl), so this word is girly and popular to use in Taiwan. As for the right part's word "亭" also has the same pronunciation, it also means that you can get ahead in the life easily.
In Taiwan, our people like fortune-telling before name after baby name, also the name can show the parents' wishes.

Last, I have record the file for pronunciation of my chinois name.

Nomads

Since I took this trade class, then I usually think of what this teacher asked us. He mentioned to our business spirit is like a nomad. I am still figuring out of what I want. To love or not to love this land, that is also a question. I feel I am helpless now. So I will consider that old man's suggestion to go to some developed countries like Cambodia. Recently I also read news about our birth rate got the lowest and as same as marriage rate. A few days ago I thought I could have my own daughters, but there was a fellow pouring me cold water. She told me that the child who has a pair of parents will be happy. I almost wanted to strangle her, because she crushed my dream.
Just now I saw the introduce about floating house in Netherlands, I think it is a good idea to use in my city in the future. Because my city is flat in whole Taiwan. Even we have 258 mountains which is over 3000 meter; however, there is no 3000 meter mountain in my city. And then I also saw a football-shaped house to float on the water. I think it can combine to use in my city. In this way, I can convince the other friends don't think passively in global warming problem. We can learn from Dutch.
The following is Dutch floating house concept


The Japanese Barier, I think the looking is same as C60's structure
It floats at the time of flooding.
It floats on the water without a problem because its whole surface is watertight, processed by special water-proof material applied to a port, a swimming pool or a roof for water-proofing.

Rainy Midnight

Recently I have no impulse to write diary, actually the monday I had a day-off. And this is a tomb sweeping day to clean the graves of their ancestors. I don't know why this week I am not in the mood. Sometimes I feel surprised that some westerns got bored every day. Perhaps my thinking is too complex, I always think a lot. Since I thought too much in this period, I chose emptied my blog. Several times I wanted to write my feeling down in Chinese, but I cannot. Without you, everything is meaningless, I would like to tell you my recent events and feelings, I can tell you that I despair of future in here once again? Only because I am on the cross-strait economic course. Then I also feel I can do nothing after I stayed up late for two consecutive nights with a Japanese women talking about the politics in Asia.

There was a schoolmate asked me whether I had a feeling that love and hate on here. This is probably what I feel at this moment. Now it is in the rain, I close my eyes and listen. I thought of the first time we met that my city was also raining. I can hear the lonesome sound of the sky as it cries. At present, I want to escape this predicament, you know I am not really brave. I want to write many metaphor sentence in Chinese to you, yet I must write blogs in English until this language can speak fluently as my mother tongue.

Today I read the book for Canone Inverso

After I read this book, I rethink the definition of the existence of music, and I impressed that the book mentioned "musicians are the fated descendants of Cain [Genesis 4:21]".

I would like to play my violin again and keep on it, but I am too lazy and have no more time to keep on to play it.

Perhaps I will play it again.

And I found my classmates like to buy food to me, oh no... it seems every day they buy something to me, drinks for Oolong Milk tea, mooncake, cookies, candies...they don't seem to know it will make me more and more fat.=(


Then I want to say "No Feeding To Me", thanks=)
