中文真偉大﹗竟然有只能看懂,卻不能聽懂的文章﹗
《施氏食獅史》是一篇由趙元任所寫的設限文章。全文共九十一字(連標題九十六字),每字的國語發音都是shi。 《施氏食獅史》這篇短文都能看懂,可是如果你讀給別人聽,他是無論如何也聽不懂的!
《施氏食獅史》
石室詩士施氏,嗜獅,誓食十獅。施氏時時適市視獅。十時,適十獅適市。是時,適施氏適市。氏視是十獅,恃矢勢,使是十獅逝世。氏拾是十獅屍, 適石室。石室濕,氏使侍拭石室。石室拭,氏始試食是十獅。食時,始識是十獅,實十石獅屍 。試釋是事。 只用一個發音來敘述一件事,除了中文,怕是再無其他語言能做到了。

Slow Dance
This is a poem written by a teenager with cancer.
She wants to see how many people get her poem.
It is quite the poem.
This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York Hospital.
It was sent by a medical doctor - Make sure to read what is in theclosing statement AFTER THE POEM.
SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done !
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,'Hi'
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift..
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.
Dear All:
PLEASE pass this poem on to everyone you know - even to those you don't know! It is the request of a special girl who will soon leave this world due to cancer. This young girl has 6 months left to live, and as her dying wish, she wanted to send a letter telling everyone to live their life to the fullest, since she never will. She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own. By you sending this to as many people as possible, you can give her and her family a little hope, because with every name that this is sent to, The American Cancer Society will donate 3 cents per name to her treatment and recovery plan. One guy sent this to 500 people! So I know that we can at least send it to 5 or 6. It's not even your money, just your time!
PLEASE PASS ON AS A LAST REQUEST.
Dr. Dennis Shields,
Professor Department of Developmental and Molecular Biology

i'm finally back frm dinner wif the guys.. well, nt jus back.. i'm done wif shower already.. =p
today is cerong's bday.. so we went to indulgz bistro for dinner.. onli cerong, homan, shengsiong, johnny n me are present.. seriously, the ambience there is quite nice.. the food also nt bad.. but it's jus a little ex.. a bit higher class than the normal kinda restaurant tat i usually go wif johnny..
today, we ate quite alot.. in the sense of $$ lah.. LOL.. total is abt $190.. it's quite ex rite.. n since it's our treat for cerong, each of us hav to pay $50.. haha.. the most expensive meal i've ever had in my life so far.. LOL.. but i like wat i ate.. hm.. cerong n me ate ribeye steak, johnny n homan ate bakerice but of diff type n shengsiong ate butterfish steak.. i'll upload the photos nx time coz nw quite tired already..
summore i was the one to sign my card today.. LOL.. it's the largest amount that i signed since i got tis card.. haha.. super rite.. but actually, i had fun.. esp when we were eating the chocolate fondue as dessert.. LOL.. me n homan was like fighting for every piece of fruit.. quite funny.. haha.. but seriously, i enjoyed myself today..
except for the last part.. coz johnny isnt the kne who likes to stay out late.. n u kne me.. i'm more like a night person.. so everytime when we go out, when it's getting late, he'll be insisting that we shd go home.. which i dont really like.. coz i wanna walk ard more.. wanna spend time outside wif him more.. but in the end.. no choice muz go home.. haiz..
zzz.. nw i'm here blogging n he's lying on my bed playing psp.. zzz.. dunno wat to say.. LOL.. summore his foot stinks.. coz actually his foot is still hurt.. almost 2 weeks plus le.. quite irritating for me that it's nt recovered yet.. coz it makes me worry when it hurts for him n also it makes me pissed off that we cant walk ard much or go out often..
aiya.. dunno wat to say le.. me go prepare to slp le..
