I get so facinated with the mandarin language and culture. I was talking to my close friends over dinner about Romance of the Three Kingdom – 三国演艺. How 刘备, 关羽 and 张飞 became brothers and how 诸葛亮 became the Shu Kingdom’s Prime Minister. Its intriguing to know that people in 189 AD are about to know so much about geography, astrology and military strategy. I will never get bored talking about Romance of the Three Kingdom. Haha! I’ve got the TV series on VCD. There was once I tried to record it on video tape when I was in Secondary School, the first time it was shown on TV8. Oh! And I love my new chinese software! Its cool to have a variety of language in one’s blog. There are many notable phrases in the Romance of the Three Kingdom. But one phrase i like alot was what 诸葛亮 told 刘备 when 曹操 attacked them in the beginning. 孔明 said “主公有多大的胆识,亮就有多大的嫫略”. This goes to show how much abilities 诸葛亮 has and how much trust 刘备 put in his Master Strategist. We must all have big goals in order to succeed. If our goals are gonna be mediocre, then our returns will be just the same. But then again, dun aim for the moon and stars when you can only reach the skies la. Haha… Know our limits. Know our traits, both positive and negative. Only when we know ourselves well, then we can overcome all the obstacles ahead of us. =)
