Went to school as usual on 07 February 2007, normal routine... What differentiate today is that, I make my way home after the UT before the lesson starts. In simple words, I skip my lesson. Don't have any motivation to continue my lessons from then, the only motivation is to skip my first lesson in Republic Polytechnic.
I headed home for the first time at the time when I am not suppose to. Take a nap, after which was a period of gaming till I decided to visit the Library. Wanted to find some books on marketing and human resources. Ironically, I lose the interest to read when I reach the Library... Ha~~ but I still took a browse on some of the book, which are pretty good I feel... Back home, I gamed again... Life had yet to be interesting for me.
Some how, I am quite glued to the chinese myth story of the cowherd and the maiden weaver. Yup, you bet it; I watched the 9 p.m. show on channel 8. Though it is an edited version of the myth, but some how I felt the feeling of the characters of in this myth... This myth is definately a very touching romance story, haha; how it takes a cold mean person like me to understand romance?? The myth is about a heavenly maiden weaver, the seventh daughter of the mother queen who has an excellent hands on weaving silk clothing and her duty in the heaven was to make clothes for the deities. One fine day, the maiden weaver togethered with the other fairies came down to earth to play and then that was when maiden weaver met cowherd. They both got married with 2 children. The heavenly king who happen to know that her daugher was married to a mortal man, ordered a immediated action on the couple. On the chase between cowherd and the heaven troops who took away the maiden, the mother queen casted a river( which can been seen on the dark night skies as the milky way) between them to seperate the couple forever. The cowherd and the maiden weaver loved eachother very deeply, and their love had touch both heaven and earth thus mother queen allowed them to met once a year on the 7th day of the 7th month of the lunar calender. So on that very day, known as the chinese valentines day, under the help of all magpies in the world who built a bridge on the milky way for this two loving couple to meet. Ha~~. I researched on the myth and discovered that actually the same myth was shared in the ancient Korea and Japan. Incredible huh? Different land, different culture seeing the same celestial phenomenum. Furthermore research, I also found out that the river that is being depicted in the story is actually tht milky way we would see on the night skies and the cowherd and the maiden on the skies are the "Astrial" and "Vega" both the brightest star on the Augest-September sky. p.s: psst... anyone interested to follow me spot them on the night sky this Augest or September??? Share with you the picture I found.....
On the left is the cowherd star"Astrial" and on the right is the Maiden Weaver Star"Vega". The blur white stuff in between them is the milky way.
End of the story of cowherd and maiden weaver story, a very touching romance story of the mythology china. Teaching lovers on the modern world what is the meaning of true love...
Just recently, or long time ago I had face this problem in my project team. Members are missing from meeting, client delaying reply and project on the halt. Frankly speaking, I don't understand the phenomenum behind these. Is it people getting sick of my face, getting sick of my project or what? How can I let people understand my theory behind the chessboard when my own teammates don't understand????haiz.....
thought of the day: 2-2=0 or 2-1 =1 ???
