Random...

Coincidence (or 'sychronicity', as Carl Jung would say it) - Yesterday i noticed a friend's msn nick which seems quite interesting... something about "Waiting for Godot" blah blah blah. So I searched the net to find out wth is it and finally learnt something abt it from the Wikipedia. Hours later, while I was flipping through a book of collection of scripts by 柯思任 (where I found 《独在家乡为异客》) in McDonald at 10pm, surprisingly, I noticed a quote from "Waiting for Godot" again! I decide that Life is trying to convey some meaning through this coincidence.

 

Before I reveal what the "Waiting for Godot" is, first the quote:

 

Vladimir: Well? Shall we go?

Estragon: Yes, let's go.

[They do not move]

"Waiting for Godot" is a very famous play that is mentioned almost every scripts book I read recently. (Today I just found another reference to it in another book.) As to what it's trying to tell, gotta wait until I read the script after I get it from my friend.

But from the little glimpse I had of it in the Wikipedia, it states that the play trying to tell us that

Life has no meaning.

A little joke I heard from the manager from the resturant I ate in just now ：

A teacher teaching a 4 yrs old kindergarden kid maths.

Teacher: Boy, what is 2 + 2?

Little Boy: [Brought up his fingers and count] 1, 2, 3, 4. Teacher, 4.

Teacher: Cannot use finger count. Put your hands behind your back. Now, what is 3 + 3?

Little Boy: [Moving his fingers behind his back] 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Teacher, 6.

Teacher: You are still using your fingers to count. Put your hands into your side pockets. Now, what is 5 + 5?

Little Boy: Erm... [Having some difficulties] ... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11!

Teacher: !!!

 

This is the most expensive meal I paid for in my whole life: $32/pax! The food is so so, but at least the service is good - got manager to tell dirty jokes.
