《知错了》

我知道  我想接近妳的方法错了

我知道  我的主动让妳惊慌失措

心急地想认识妳  却使妳害怕

知错了  上天要如何来惩罚我

是不是我的思念将换回妳的冷漠

不理不睬是妳对我的防备  我了解

看也不看是妳给我的难受  我心痛

妳那厌恶的眼神有如万针穿心

妳真的没有必要轻易的原谅我

心灵的空虚我无法自拔

对妳的道歉我只能自言

多么希望一切可以重来

愿上天给我多一次机会

我真得很喜欢妳

世上最笨的人就是我

1421 The Exhibition

I went to the 1421 exhibition held at Marina Promenade yesterday and came away with a different perception of the Ming Dynasty. I used to view the Ming Dynasty as a redundant dynasty that caused China to lag behind the rest of the world in terms of science and technology advancements. I was wrong. The Ming Dynasty did indeed made used of their knowledge of the world and their state-of-the-art ship-building technology to chart the world to such details that future “explorers” were to benefit.

The exhibition wasn’t a grand one but it was an eye-and-mind-opener nonetheless. The many theories presented are surrounded by much historical information that the exhibition left little for the visitors to refute the theories even if they didn’t believe them. I got to understand the background and findings which have led Gavin Menzies to write his book. Yes, I now believe the Chinese did sail the world.

Today is the last day of the 1421 exhibition and it will be a pity if you haven’t gone to visit it. If you have missed it, you can read about it at http://www.1421exhibition.com/ and understand more about the continuing work in gathering more historical evidence to support Menzies’ theories at http://www.1421.tv/. ChannelNewsAsia will be showing a documentary about 1421 soon so try not to miss that.

Questions...

What would you do if you lose the opportunity to be friends with someone just because you are trying too hard and too anxiously to know that person? Is there any chance again of gaining friendship? A more stupid question. Would you have messed up the chance in the first place?

* I have made every mistake possible and screwed up big time...
