Angeline decided to flaunt her Mandarin for once. Never once has Angeline blog using Mandarin words, this shall be the first time and Angeline prays it won't be the last too. Angeline is confident to make many drop their jaws in a split second.
Although Angeline is percieved as a food blogger who loves to source for good food and post entries about it, Angeline tries her best to be updated about happenings in the world. As suggested, this entry is about 四川地震. Angeline trusts that most of her friends are awared of this and she shall not bothered to give a detailed account of how many people were trapped, died, escaped or saved. If you really want to know, please go and buy the Straits Time to read. If you are really don't have 70 cents to spare, please tune into Channel NewsAsia, Channel 5 or 8 or even log onto the Internet to source for more information.
Then why is Angeline blogging about the 四川地震 then? The sudden event of the earthquake changed Angeline's perception of her own life to a certain extent. Of course earthquakes are sudden, you don't expect them to give you a courtesy call to inform you that they will be visiting you after all. Here Angeline is, complaining about her lowly paid job, the nonsense that she have to tolerate at work and after work, and everything that Angeline could find fault with, Angeline have not stopped for a second to wonder how are the survivors coping in 四川.
Why is Angeline still complaining when I have my loved ones with me?
Why is Angeline still complaining when I have a home to go back to?
Why is Angeline still complaining when I have friends to rely on?
Why is Angeline still complaining when I have a job?
Why is Angeline still complaining when I don't have to worry about the next day?
Angeline indeed does not know better. But there are indeed people who have more than Angeline, for example, a higher income, landed property, luxurious car, and the list goes on. Angeline suddenly remembered an idiom that she learnt before, "比上不足，比下有余". To put it simply, when you compared yourself against someone stronger, you are not good enough. However, when you compared yourself against someone weaker, you have more than enough. What is the moral of the story? Angeline thinks it is contentment. Angeline shall learn to be contented with what she has and learn to cherish and treasure them. This is the difference between knowing it and practicising it. Angeline is still learning.
Angeline told you that she would be able to stun you with her Mandarin. Look at that idiom. Isn't that amazing (considering it comes from Angeline)?
