Good news is that it's June holidays!! Bad news is that every SINGLE day we have classes. Well, we have been having classes for a week already. And everyday after the lessons, I went out with either wai fun or jia wen. Except today. Because I realize I haven't been spending time with my homework. :P
Today we had A Maths, then Chemistry. Only now then I know that we are far far FAR behind in our studies. And we are left with only 4 months left to o levels. I REALLY must work hard. :)
Well, enough about studies, studies, studies. I haven't been doing anything crazy as well. So all I can talk about is books for this june holidays. Or rather movies I have watched :) Oh yes, I bought a movie called "Windstruck"- it's a Korean show (I want to learn Korean!!). It's a REALLY nice love story. I especially liked the story about the pinky - the female character came out with this 'pinky' story. Once upon a time, there lived this princess. She asked the mirror, "Mirror, Mirror, Who is the prettiest of them all." And like all fanasty stories, the mirror replied, "You, of course." The princess was wise and beautiful, thus princes from all over the country came to win her hand. -When they say ALL over the country they really meant ALL over the country. There left 5 princes left. She told them to guess which finger she hid. The first prince show his thumb, she walked off. The second prince show his index finger, she continued to walked to the next one. Obviously, the next prince show his middle finger, she smacked his hard on his face, walking off. The fourth prince show his fourth finger, and fainted. She walked to the last prince "the male character in the show" and he show the pinky slowly. She smiled and hooked their pinkies together. It became a sign of their marriage vow. How sweet is that? The hooking of pinkies is like a promise.
One day the prince had to go for war. The prince hook her pinky in promise that he would come back. The princess waited for him for 10 years, everyone else was forcing her to get married again. Thus she announced that she would get married with the person who hooked their pinky with hers. Finally one day, a beggar came and hook his pinky with hers. It turned out that he was the prince. But at night he left, as that night was the 49th day, the time when the soul of a person would rise up to heaven. The princess found the prince's body and hook his finger, drank poison wine and die beside him.
So the hooking of pinkies is a symbol of promise. Even when he died, he managed to come back and fulfill his promise. Sweet right?? :)
Well, I would really WISH to learn Korean. I picked up a little these few days.. :)
