when i was looking at the parrot forum, i came across this passage...

28- 02- 2005 宜家男人﹕深情鸚鵡
　

本來去雀仔街買一隻鸚鵡，偏偏又爆發了鸚鵡熱，唯有暫且打住。
　觸發我對鸚鵡的興趣，是讀了雷競旋的書《窮風流》有感。
　他講到七十年代，留學法國的時候，鄰居一個阿拉伯青年出外旅行，請他代為料理一隻鸚鵡。自主人離開，這隻鸚鵡鬱鬱寡歡，不斷啄胸前羽毛，羽毛脫落，作者恐鸚鵡自殘，立刻帶他見獸醫。
　獸醫說﹕「這是很正常的，鸚鵡失去主人，心情不好，傷心發洩。不要擔心，只要塗些紅藥水。」
　後來鸚鵡重新長出了羽毛，阿拉伯青年回來後，歸還給主人，青年覺得鸚鵡有點毛色不對。作者對於鸚鵡如此有人性，產生對牠的好感，醒起有一段日子不聽見鸚鵡的叫聲，探問鄰居的年輕人，「鸚鵡病了嗎﹖」
　年輕鄰居說﹕「鸚鵡死了。」
　「是病死的﹖」
　「不﹗是自殺。」
　他從來未聽過雀鳥會自殺，追問情由。
　原來，年輕人最近又買多了一對小鳥回家，鸚鵡懷疑主人變心，心情極度低落，有一天早晨，早已心存妒忌的牠，忍不住主人的冷落，將自己的脖子伸出籠外的兩柱之間，甩頭一轉，扭頸自盡。
　生物之中，除了人類，鯨魚有自殺的衝動之外，第一次聽到雀鳥也會自殺。而且，純粹是感情脆弱，妒忌而死。自殺，是高等生物才會思考的問題，繼人類之後，鸚鵡在雀鳥之間，不單能人語，其實也擁有人的深情。

terrible cold

I have been sick... It started since Saturday and got worse on Sunday. Then the syptoms kind of changed on Wednesday so i went to the doctor again on thurdays and its possibly the flu bacteria has gone to my stomach. I couldnt eat in the last couple days; i felt like throwing up in the middle of meal so i eat only a little each time i felt hungry. Today in economics lesson i shut my eyes for half an hour in the triple periods. The drugs makes me feel sleepy and i cant resist of closing my eyelids.

awwww..

Year of Chicken

I havent blogged for so long... theres something interesting happened during this time but i might blog about it or i might not. Im too lazy at the moment. Now is the Year of chicken.

I was tidying my room the other day and found out the red packets of last year. So together with this year's, i have 2 years' money! Thats quite good news. I went out for quite many days for this years new year holiday compared to the past. But anyway, i still have very little relatives and my grandparents have passed out so my family tree only has a few branches.

I counted my number of clothing in my cabinet and realised (for the first time) that i have REALLY too many panties. To the extent that i can change new panties every day without doing the laundry for panties for a month.

My mum's disease doesnt seem to have any sign of progress. She still insists on staying home...
