Last paper and my mind's so saturated I can't take it in anymore but I have to. This is just an anxiety episode.
awesome song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B50RUXbs-8and from a black singer too. Because I was telling stabs, the older ones sing better. most of them now are just... generic. seriously, the music's like... well its american music in general. of course, exceptions exist and that i am very thankful. as much as i dont have a talent, i like music.
OK OFF TO CRAM IT IN SOMEMORE!
I just got a feedback on my emotional intelligence having done a test. I think it's quite valid. HAHAHA!
Basically, it says I scored pretty damn high on the sending part but pretty damn low on the using/regulating part. Explains for my so-called angstyness but its not angstyness, its more like, heck care~ If you know what that means.
今日から、試験が終わるまで、もう日本語の勉強しないようになった方はいいと思います。
今日の能力試験ってさ。。。ま、そんなに難しくなかったけど、生駒のモクテストと比べ、難しかったんだ。ちょっとビックリ。でも聴解の方は簡単でしいた。ただ読むのは早かったんだ。よくできるかどうかわからないけど、絶対合格できると思うんだ。一体どこからの自信かな？とりあえず、今日から専門の勉強をちゃんとしよう！皆好きな言葉ですね、「挑戦（ヤバイ、なぜ読み方は朝鮮と同じ？）」、「ファイト」、「勝つ」。どうでもいいや、Ａ－以上取ったら。
実はね、友達がたいてい日本語がわからないから、以後の文句や友達のワルグチとか。。。全部これで書いたら、相手は知ってるはずがないでしょう。だから、ある友達も私が「なぜ最近そんな悲観で気になったの？」って言うはずもないよね。
久しぶりに今日の言葉にしよう！
识相(shi4 xiang4)
literal. know the looks
very useful in life. at work, at home, anywhere! as long as there're people and there's a difference in status/power between them.
e.g. 识相的就给我滚远一点。
often used in chinese drama. spoken by the a lot more powerful (and usually arrogant) dude.
its the screw off (before you piss me off), do you know who i am? kind of feeling.
you dont have to only use it when one party is threatening the other. you can also use it when the weaker party is afraid of the more powerful one. e.g. you have a group of people, one of them is just like the born leader. talented in scaring people. theres no basis to it but people are just afraid of making him angry so everyone gives in. when people give in, you say they 识相.
also used often in drama, with gangs/family/foster-family, 翅膀硬了
literal. wings are hard.
a phrase specially requested by a friend. dont worry i wont leak your name out and dont worry they'll find out because i dont think they read my blog anyway. but if they do, oh well. its time they know im a bitch.
no wait, im quite sure they dont. because ive talked abt the problem a few times here. they just... ignored?!
back to the topic. again, this can be used anywhere, as long as there're people and theres status difference. usually said by parents to the erm... not so obedient kids.
e.g. 好了你！现在长大了，翅膀也硬了！根本不听我的话了。
for both phrases, we cant really say if the more powerful one or the weaker one is right. it depends on context. sometimes people say it with negative feelings but sometimes, the first phrase can be used as an advice (e.g. you better leave. 识相的就快走！) and the second could be spoken out of helplessness when parents cant talk anymore sense into their kids.
you know, someday... i could write a book you know? like beginner's in colloquial chinese.
