that's hanging over you

I was studying history & I finally realised the significance of the past & the importance to learn from it. Well, luckily men did if not we would still be living the way men did centuries ago. I guess without yestersay(s) (history), we wouldn't have a more peaceful & happier today/tomorrow.

I have this great urge to share something interesting & hilarious that's why I came online to add an entry. I was studying about China and I realised that the most ridiculous things had happened in history. Was learning the 1911 Revoultion & the consequences the revolution brought. One of the consequence was really funny. So, during the period of the anarchy, life became worst for the peasants. The Warlords allowed the Landlords to push rents up & collect taxes in advance. In Sichuan (a part of China) by 1923, the local Warlords had collected taxes in advance up to 1968. Some simple maths, 1923 to 1968 = 45 years!! Oh man imagine you were the poor peasant who paid taxes in advance up to forty five years. Say you were 65 year old (back-breaking but still working in the fields just to pay rent & taxes in advance). You wouldn't even live up to 110 years old to live the taxes you've paid. Oh what corruption :( Such poor peasants.

Funny/ridiculous yet pitiful (for the peasants), isn't it? It certainly cracked my day & boy, I sure found some small interest in studying history. Speaking of Sichuan, youknw the Sichuan beef noodles served at SilkRoad Noodle Bar is so yummy! & not forgetting the delicious Xiaolong Pao & Scallop Dumplings (Sorry to those who've not eaten their lunch). For a moment you'll find yourself eating in "modern China". Hur.

Anyhow, soccerooooos (I'm not much of a kickball/soccer girl but I love watching games & the excitments cause it kills). Anyhow, there are again exciting games today/tomorrow. I certainly hope that Germany & England wins tonight to top their group so they won't meet each other yet in round two (cause I feel it's too early for such killer excitments) but even if fate fell short & they've to meet, it would be interesting, wouldn't it? I really hope Owen plays. Dknw if I should say I'm happy that Crouch might not be playing but well let's see what Rooooney (the oh-so-prized teen star) gotta give. I think England needs Gerard & Lampard alot to back up their defence & push up the attacks so hope they play but don't get carded. But well, as fans (maybe) of England, I'll just keep my my faith (& also my fingers crossed).
