I can probably recite the first 2-3 chapters by heart.

:lol: That's cool! I need to look into getting a version in Chinese script, English script is probably insufficient. :hug:


I've read Stephen Mitchell's English translation of it and it's really good! You can get a PDF of that right off the net! :)

The Chinese version is much more lyrical, poetic and sing-song. Most old Chinese literature is like that, since these sages had to teach peasants and such. :) I took up Taijiquan, Baguazhang and Xingyiquan throughout my school life, and most of the lessons/lectures on technique, philosophy or mechanics are in the form of poem or rhyme, and are often illustrated in a very flowery way.:)

I sleep to all songs.

And I do it even more easy. Just close my eyes and go sleep.

I not need music to fall in sleep, and even classical music don't make my more sleepy.

I'm nice and close the the ground. My center of gravity is lower. I'm small, so I can fit in small places. I can sleep anywhere. I have learned to climb to reach tall things.
Also, I like to break stereotypes. :p
Little body, big personality!

I don't care much about the ground. I can't fall off it, so meh.

On sleeping: I had to sleep on wooden planks for 3 weeks once. :/

break dem stereotypes! stomp stomp stomp!

The ground is nice and solid. I like it.

Ouch. :/

Stomp stomp!

I don't need either, but it helps. I usually find it hard to sleep.

I'll look it up, thanks for the recommendation. (:

*sighs wistfully* I love poetry. I hope Chinese poetic styles don't leave me too stumped. :b

Ah I know that problem sometimes, especially when something exciting or something dramatically turns in life.

But I don't has that problem in the short history. Last time I has was....lets say a half year ago.

But before that, I would to say that I learn so much the last time. Not only from books, but also in real.

I go never again to hold myself in a big mistake anymore.

Sometimes even the best things can be one big lie.
