don't know what I should say.

I could tell from John's manner and communication skills that he is a quite educated gentleman. Maybe that's why he could make the decision that seemed sound and rational to the civilized society.

It was quite a shock to me that how an advanced society and a tribal community can function together under the same political system. I just can't imagine how these two levels of civilizations can accept and tolerate each other, and how much more efforts to be needed to bring this tribal culture a bit more towards the civilized society!

Hold the horse/Hold that thought  先等一下，别忙==hang on a sec/hang on a tick

I just had a boy's look (只是草草地看了一下), that's why I couldn't find it.

Thanks for the update, @周星星1832 I was bit worried about her.

You are right, it feels weird without her presence in this column!

Wired,是何意思。认真学习你的内容，希望英语有提高。

yping88

Sorry, my bad, @blackumatta  

That was a typo, I have corrected it now.

Thanks for pointing it out. I didn't even realize it until finding your message. It should be "weird".

I will be taking more accountability for those who are really interested whenever I post something out there.  And I will keep my word.

My apology again for the misleading.   

yping88

Sorry dear my bad, was trying to concentrate on work as boss got angry with me for playing bbs. missing you so much, will stay, please dont let go

Now, you got the idea how much you mean to all of us in Freeoz, @MICHELLE07

I was quite moved by how much affection they have shown towards you!

In another word, you deserve it,  Michelle!

yping88

Something to keep you nice company tonight!

Nowadays, Harvey has been doing a wonderful job in the football game. He got that strong desire to dominate the football by running around with it and let me chase him up like crazy.

Whenever I got the football and kicked it away, he would spring out towards it like lightening. He is proactive (积极主动) at controlling the football and tends to run ahead towards the direction where I possibly throw the football. He would be sprinting meters ahead even though I pretend to let go off the ball.  

yping88

So, I just made a joke about how great Harvey could do if we signed him up for Chinese pooch football team (给他报名参加狗狗足球队).

Zoe shook her head straight away: No, to be honest, I don't see the big future in him if we enter him into Chinese pooch football team. He wouldn't do any better than just an international doggie player (他充其量也不过就是个狗狗外援而已), there would be nothing else much he could achieve over there.

I said to her: You just made my day, Zoe! I would post your remarks on our column if you don't mind!

She appeared to be very serious: No, I am not so sure about that! If you made public whatever I have said, you should be worried about violating my freedom of speech (侵犯了言论自由)?

yping88

I walked in to John's room to check up on him after he returned to the ward post surgical procedure. I asked him: John, what have been done for you during the procedure?

John: Oh, they were digging holes in me, and maybe something was missing inside of me!

I couldn't help teasing him: Oh, are you sure whether something was missing or you have something extra put in?

yping88

When I first came across some Ozzy swearing expressions, I thought they were quite expressive but very vulgar (粗俗). For a few times, I tried to post them here but held back because of their not-for-public-use characteristics.

However, I was rendered stunned (被惊得目瞪口呆) this morning when I picked up (不经意地听出来) one of these expressions from the host in Channel 7's morning show.

So, I thought it should be safe for me to bring it out in here. But, please be mindful whenever you try to let them out in public.

When this host was asked about the current government's administrations and politics, he just let it slip (脱口而出) straight away: Oh, I just couldn't give a rats (I couldn't care a damn about it).

No wockings! (No fucking worries!)

Running around like a blue arse fly!

My former workmate asked me: Ping, are you gonna be on duty this coming Christmas?

Me: Yeah, I guess so!

She: Fair enough! Since you are the new kid on the block (新来的), it won't be surprising if you will!

Hahaaa, the fact is I can share something you might not come across and vise versa (反过来，一样). In the end of the day, we pick up something from each other and support each other!

I have been lucky to work with those who love to share their knowledge with me and never mind explaining themselves when I showed my confusions!

I was asked about my religions by my colleague today, and I ended up telling him I don't have any, even though I do believe in GOD!

He seemed very much surprised and tried to get the bottom of it (探个究竟). I told him:

During the days gone by (过去的岁月里), we all believed that Chairman Mao was the God in China, we were even tricked into believing in his eternity (永垂不朽). We were held steadfast (坚信) to the theory that Chairman Mao was the God to save our nation.

When the religions started to revive (重新复兴起来) in late 1990's, my generation had been pretty much brain-washed by Marxism and Socialism, so, I guess it would be a long way to go for us to be converted to true religious group.

How sad! I feel so sorry for my generation!

My colleague was a bit upset about the chaos in the nurse station, she shook her head: Hey, what's been happening here, just look at this mess, what do you guys think it is? Bush week? 你们以为这是生活在 bush 里吗？

Bush week: Generally means when people live in the bush, they don't have to tidy up, no shower, no disciplines. They can wear anything they like, don't have to show any manners.

All in all, just like living in the jungles where there is no civilization, people enjoy the absolute freedom and don't have to be bothered with any orders!

If you have half of a brain, you would be really feeling lonely!

Meaning: If you have the whole brain, you would function normally. If you have no brain, you wouldn't have any feelings about anything, and then nothing can possibly hurt your feeling.

But if you only have half of it, you wouldn't be able to function as well as normal people would, while that half of the feelings left in you still can get you hurt psychologically when things go wrong, and what's worse is your half brain wouldn't be able to interpret and process them. So, you can imagine how painful and how lonely you can be!
