17th day.......

Went to 2 chinese temple for chinese new year prayers...
Ask for 3 "lot"...."qiu qian"...
and the first one tells a story...

A sick horse went up the mountain...病马去登山
When will it come back...几时得回还
To move on with your future...欲进前程路
....

The last line is difficult to understand...

It says...

思量到难头...

The last line is the most important essence of the whole "lot"..
is the conclusion or the final advice...

思量...means "to think of"..."to miss"...

到难头...could mean "to a difficult point"...OR...it could also mean..."to shake one's head"....OR...the last two phrase can also be understood as....if you want a future....then you will have to think twice of it...OR...if you want a future...you will have to think hard....

Whatever the understanding....it seems that it is something really difficult....

And what I pray for advice and ask about...for the "lot" i got...
is Him.

Hmm...sad...

watever...we are still friends...maybe that is what we really are meant to be....

Second "lot" is good...

It says....

久旱几多时
晚来雨淋漓
风送舟得利
缘衣换紫衣

Roughly it means...after a long drought....the rain came...
The wind blows and the boat is given a good push ahead...
The clothing of affinity changes to the clothing of prosperity....

The last phrase is agin the difficult to understand part...and my translation could be wrong....

And for this lot....I ask about my future....

as for the third "lot"...

ah...I am too tired to type chinese..but it roughly says...people are quiet at night...stars are so few in the sky for the night...the fisherman wasted the night with it's hook empty....it is no point to hang out your clothes to dry at night....

on the surface...it seems sad and quiet...

What I ask for is my future love affinity...(yin yuan)...
but my father says...
It means...it is "night time for you now..."...
you have to wait till the sun rises....

well.....sounds like a goood interpretation too...

oh well...

Life...it is how you want to see it...how you want to live it...

Isn't it...
