Translation of 老徐's 日记 [2006年12月08日] dairy entry:
An advertisement: A multimedia library for children to play with will be sold for charity on the second week, it's in progress now, please take a look. http://www.kaila.com.cn/shop/
I have a toothache. Early in the morning, Wei BoEr (围脖儿) ran onto my bed acting spoiled. He simply wanted to rest his head on my arm and be hugged. He's constantly coughing, since I got back from Greece he still hasn't recovered.
I've finally finished reading that really thick biography. I was touched by its last words.
Just like at a graveyard, everything seems pale. A biography of a character in history has the same kind of stillness. The amazing talent is unequalled, millions of people both respect it and are shocked at it. Luckily, loyalty is buried under the green hills, white steel melted by an innocent person to flatter a minister. It wholly passes by your eyes far away. Unfortunately, parts of history always repeats itself, some people always don't follow their plans and willingly become sacrificial lambs. This is the only thing that's never changed.
I've already had a try with all the antibiotics at home, Xiao Zao (小灶) has taken three days of continuous injections and eaten a lot of medicines, he still has a cyst on his nose. A family of patients. Wei Qun (围裙) is the most well behaved small and beautiful girl. This guy Wei BoEr has profited the most.
An attempt at improving my personal level of Chinese by translating other blogs like Lao Xu (老徐 or Xu JingLei, one of the most popular Chinese blogs, written by a famous Mainland China actress, singer and director).

Translating 老徐
Translating 老徐's 日记 [2006年12月03日] dairy entry:
The last month in 2006, doesn't have proper snow like the next month. A lot of things seem to have changed, a lot of things really seemed to have settled down like dust. This is going to be of the most worry-free year-ends of the last few years. For several years, I haven't felt that the new year is something to be happy about. I feel like turning back and looking at last year's dairy. I thought about it but decided not to in the end, if I look back in a few years time it'll be even better.
I've slept for two days non-stop, I had a massage in the middle of it, Xiao Zao's (小灶) caught a cold so I took her to see the doctor and went outside to eat grilled beef.
汪 (Wang), stopped two ill schoolfriends from going touring again, Pu Ji Island (普及岛), when we were eating she was trying to persuade me for ages, don't work all the time, you need to rest for a bit, be better to yourself and all that. As if this blog is about someone who doesn't know how to enjoy themselves, this blog isn't like that, this blog combines work and rest …… a couple of days ago she was taking about touring around Li river (丽江), but I need to see when my other friends who want to go are available.
It's because of them that I feel I want to do something, if there's nothing I definitely need to do at work I'm determined to go touring once, simply enjoying myself, why do they always enjoy themselves, one moment it's Dali, the next it's Thailand, it really makes me angry, how could they?
I've suddenly wondered why this winter is so good, I haven't had any more problems with my neck vetebra or gastric ulcer, it seems they have to do with nerves.
Sleeping for two days non-stop, I've dreamt a countless number of dreams, good ones and bad ones, I've gradually recovered from the jetlag and my lack of sleep. Everytime I wake up I look at my kittens, I look at the government-banned book that I bought in Hong Kong, this is obviously better than that other book, I won't give my opinion on it just yet, at least the tone of the writer is quite objective. When I'm reading it, my mind isn't so conflicted any more. The book's really thick, I unknowingly slept several times before I managed to finish reading it.
I have two female friends who, as sudden as lightning, are going to have kids, one at the end of the year, one at the start of the year. Among them, one of those is when I just started writing my blog, she sent me a Mongolian whip, the beautiful girl Ma Lao Qing (马老晴), I don't know if people still remember and she sent me photos to see, another big bellied, thin faced, typical mum, you can't tell she's pregnant if you only saw her face. This superficial girl, even while she's pregnant, still didn't forget to seek advice everywhere on when she'd be able to perm her hair. I really want to teach her a lesson.
On a different topic, there's a friend in my blog comments who's constantly cursing at Chinese Central TV (CCTV), and I don't know how he was offended, every insult is several hundred lines, and also it's not pleasant to hear or at all fresh. I recommend he curses where he's supposed to curse, what's the point in cursing so much here, you can't achieve your goal here. Go and appeal to the higher authorities, if you have an enemy get revenge, if you have a complaint seek justice. And don't be anonymous any more, it doesn't seem strong at all, I thought, this is something bad. And other people can't hear you, your effort gone to waste.
Xiao Zao has already had her heart split apart because I've isolated her, I'm afraid of Wei Qun (围裙) catching it from her too, the pitiful kitten constantly cries out in the bathroom, my heart can't bear it……

Translating 老徐 (Kitten pictures, 4 pictures)
Here's the translation of 老徐's 猫咪照片4张 post:
Yesterday in Shanghai, after moving around I didn't sleep the whole night, I took the morning flight home. I haven't put on a picture of my kittens for ages …… public demand is pretty high ……
But, …… the kittens grow really fast, I must show them off for a bit:
Since Button (扣子) left, Wei BoEr (围脖儿) finished puberty early, he acts mature every single day……
Occasionally he goes into deep thought over something ……
I don't know what these two are really thinking …… do they have interest in each other ……
Actually, there's another small friend …… brought here at only three months old. Coming here looking like a small refugee, an English short-haired one, also female. Compared with Wei Qun, she looks like a small girl, especially when she's eating she's really elegant, nothing like the other two, when she sees something to eat it's as if she's starving, she's called Xiao Zao (小灶), I'll post her pictures some other day.
Going to recover my sleep.
