So if you were wondering what we were doing while all of you have your usual chinese classes, we had EXTRA english lessons with some "cute" monk looking korean man that perhaps escaped from the disney channel movie "Wendy Wu-Home coming warrior". And for your information, the actual definition of cute is - UGLY but ADORABLE. :)
So this is what happens in the usual lessons with mr. monk
China students talk behind with their heavy accents, little groups engrossed in their little conversations, and there will be a minority like juliana and ME (yes ME. I'm proud to say it), that will be trying hard to listen to Mr. monk explaining on the comprehension. I like the way he teaches, because he teaches you the easy ways of interpreting quickly and getting the answers, short and sweet, and PERFECTLY correct. If you actually listen, he gives you useful tips and they are really good. I'm not bluffing. :) KUDOS Mr. MONK! (Till today i dont remember what he's called.)
There was this story he shared with us today, which i find, very meaningful. And it goes :
There was this woman, while waiting for her transfer flight in the airport, she went to buy a book and a bag of cookies. She went into the VIP waiting room, and sat down comfortably, reading her newly bought book. So there was this man that also sat beside her, and between them were this bag of cookies. The woman reaches out into the bag and took one cookie out, slowly savouring the sweet content of it. And she realise, each time she reaches in for one cookie, the man beside her will take another. She was mad. furious. Angry. Whatever.
She wanted to scold, punch, whack and kick that man. But she didn't. So she continued reaching in for one cookie and the man followed, untill there was only one cookie left. She wanted to wait and see how he reacted, and the man actually split the cookie into half, and gave it to her. Furious, she stood up and walked away. While she was in the plane, she opened her purse. And in her purse, she saw a bag of cookies, full, and unopened! She was too busy getting angry that she forgot that all along, her cookies were in her purse! She couldn't apologise, and all she could bring back, were the feeling of regret.
So, there are four things in this world that you can't take back.
1) The stones that were shot.
2) The words that were pronounced. (don't anyhow scold people for you never know how hurt he/she may feel)
3) The occassions that were gone.
4) The time that were lost
Meaningful. True.
Think about it.
