As expected , it was filled with non-stop shopping and feasting and shopping and pigging. It is one thing to see each other over a lunch or dinner, it's another, to spe nd 4 days, all 24 hours of each, being with one another. Naturally, we had our differences. We had differences in food, in clothes, in "what the room temper ature should be", how we should spend the afternoon, how long we should tan, w hat time we should wake up.... On one particular shopping excursion, we decided to break into different group s and meet up after an hour. W: "Good thing we split up, I think we were looking at really different things ." J: "Ya but I thought we should really shop together with M, I mean, her clothe s are quite uninspiring, and dull....we should help her pick out stuff." S: "Maybe she's happy with her stuff, maybe she doesn't need what we think she needs." J: "But she cannot go on looking frumpy at 26?" W: "Ok la, maybe she's happy with how she looks. " S: "Ok if we see something that we like and she might like, then we'll buy it for her." Turns out the 'gorgeous' mock-croc clutch bag was, "not very practical, I can hardly put my wallet in but thanks anyway guys!" She ends up with a bag she fe els pressurized to carry when we go out together next time. When we assume that what we have is better than what another person has, shoul d we try to change their mind? Should we try to tell them that their 'precious ' is "dull and uninspiring" and that they are NOT better off when in fact, the ir senses tells them that they are? Who is better off? Say if I hate durians, and someone tells me I'm missing out because they are s weet and fragrant. Am I still missing out if I think they are gross? (FYI: I l ike durians) A not so recent article wrote that the Africans, though having marginally less material comforts than most developed countries, were happier people. Who is better off? Something for you guys to chew on. see u later alligators. Love yanzi === 翻译请至原网址找↓ http://www.warnermusic.com.tw/community/forum/viewtopic.php?t=161335&start=60 最後一页有Leo Man的翻译~ --
