獻縣有個姓史的人,名字不記的了。他為人不拘小節,落落剛正,對那些行為卑鄙齷齪的人十分蔑視。
一天,史某從外回家,見村中有一家夫婦、母子正在相擁而泣。他便上去詢問緣由。這家人的鄰居告訴他:「是因為欠下了豪強的債,豪強催逼還債,不得已只好把妻子賣給人家抵債。因為夫婦倆感情很好,加上小孩子還沒有斷奶,更加使人可憐,所以十分悲痛。」史某就問欠了多少錢,那個村民回答說:「欠了三十兩銀子。」又問:「你的妻子賣了多少錢?」答曰:「五十兩銀子,給人家作小妾。」「還可以贖回來嗎?」村民說:「賣身契已經寫好了,但錢還沒有付,當然可以贖回。」
於是,史某拿出七十兩銀子給了村民,說:「三十兩還債,四十兩用來謀生,不要再賣你的妻子了。」村民夫婦倆感激不盡,便殺雞做菜,款待史某。酒酣之時,丈夫抱著孩子出門,並以目示意他的妻子,讓她與史某同床,以報答他的大恩。妻子會意,便用言語挑逗史某。
史某正色說:「史某半世為盜,半世為捕役,殺人不眨眼。但如果在危難中污辱良家婦女,我是絕對不會幹的。」吃喝完畢,他掉頭就走了,不發一言。
半個月後,史某所居的村子夜間起火,當時正是秋天收穫的季節,家家屋上屋下都堆滿了柴草。很快,許多茅草屋、秸桿被大火吞噬。
史某估計一家沒有辦法逃脫,就與妻兒在家中閉目靜坐等死。他在恍惚間聽見屋頂上有人喊道:「東嶽王有令,史某一家被豁免!」話音剛落,屋後的牆壁突然崩塌,史某領著妻子,抱著孩子,從火海中逃了出來,好像插著翅膀。
火熄滅後,計算出村中有九人被燒死。鄰居們都合掌說:「前些日子還笑話你傻!沒想到七十兩銀子可以贖回三條命。」
我認為,這件事多虧司命之神的保佑,捐錢之功佔十分之四,拒色之功佔十分之六。

Karma & 因果报应
Have u heard of Karma? This post is about 因果报应.. I had watched some cartoon about the 释迦牟尼佛 in Batu Pahat. I only watched about 4 stories but that had enlightened me a lot. I find that I am still a person with a lot of 尘 与 垢 in my heart. I will try to burn the discs and make into small video clips and share with you..
Please read the 因果报应 stories from this website.. I am looking for more websites.. Please feel free to recommend me some websites on the Karma... Thank you very much..
http://zhengjian.org/zj/articles/2007/8/31/48003.html
Oh yeah.. I just went to take an injection and currently having some medicine to cure my back pain as it is getting worse day by day.. I guess I can only go for blood donation 3 weeks later (assume I finish the medicine this week).. I had wanted to go on this weekend but I think I couldnt make it anyway.
I will inform you all to go together if u r interested. Try to donate the blood whenever u r still eligible.
May the good befall you~

dedicated to the special one
It has been 3 days since the special one received the gifts. There were two thanks, 1 nice gift and 1 appreciate mentioned in the email. In addition, there is one blessing sentence and one advice for me. I am searching nowhere for a word, like or love.
The email, promptly after I read, had given me mixed feelings. I was happy that you received the gift (finally). However, I wonder if the appreciate in my term has the same meaning of the special one. To me, appreciate means you know how much effort he put in and you really appreciate him for doing so. However, you may not accept or like it. Appreciate sounds like the receiver is being grateful, only grateful. Thus I feel that my effort did not break the ice of ur heart. It may just warm you up, but fail to reach my goal.
After replying the email, I have been waiting for the special one to reply my email or online MSN and have further communication. In contrast, the special one did not show up. I had sent sms, email, msn msgs to the special one but I just lost the communication with the special one.
I am waiting for an answer, obviously - a clearer answer. You can tell me either I have chance, I dont have chance or you need more time to consider. I just need an answer, instead of avoiding me. Perhaps I am too paranoid, perhaps I am too pessimistic. The 3 days waiting in front of my computer despite having back pain is breaking my heart day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute, second by second. I began to feel that I am pestering you, i am harassing you and yet you r scared of hurting me and choose to avoid me for the time being.
it is even more hurting of doing so. Perhaps u r busy, perhaps u r not at home, but since u can online into ur friendster, why didnt you chk ur email or login ur MSN? Perhaps this is really too coincidence, or perhaps.. u really dont know how to face me, or telling me to give up on u.
I have heard friends complaining how thick skin are the suitors are, how much are they scared of the suitors and how pestering the suitors are. I dont want to be like the suitor they mentioned. Ppl told me not to give up. I dont want to give up either. However, I afraid you feel that I am pestering you. That would widen the distance in ur heart.
The files in the mp3 took me hours to prepare, especially the recordings couldnt be played together in the music files due to the file format. It took me hours to look for the converter and yet it still could not be played in music files until I used two different coverters to convert twice into mp3 format. It looks easy but I would want to let you know I really put in my effort into it. I know you will read this blog, just a matter of time.
I am not giving up on u until u tell me to stop. However, I will not contact you from now on because I have a strong feeling that u r avoiding me. I hope u can tell me ur decision in a day's time. you can give me either Yes, No, or let me have more time to consider. BUT PLS, not avoiding me. it is hurting me.......
No matter what is ur decision. I will still bless you and wish you can complete what you want to do, solve ur problems easily, safe from any danger and be happy. The last gift of the valentine's day is going to reach you soon.
Miss you, the special one..

S.O.S
I saw a new era of advancement, I saw a glimpse of light on my self confidence, I saw a better of me in the future.. I was looking forward to accept all the challenges, I thought my life would be better.. and I was so grateful to have them looking closer and closer to me.
Beyond the god-will, I was plagued by injuries & sickness.. have been sick for a week but that is just peanuts compared to my injuries.. I injured my back while playing basketball @ my cousin's house 6 days ago.. After applying some medicine (in paste form) and paste another 膏药布。I felt I was pulling out from injuries.
The situation got worsen for the past two days.. I am scratching my head for the root cause. I could still hang on yesterday, but not today, especially after my working hours.. It was so pain of doing any motion, including sitting down, standing up, stretching my legs, bending my body.. The pain, that made me scold foul words in the end, indeed slashing my heart..
Coming back home, all of them have fallen asleep. I dont want to open their bedroom's door because the two kids will be easily waken up by it. They might start crying and very difficult to be calmed down by their parents...
Who are there to help me apply the medicine in paste form and paste the 膏药布 for me? I would love to do it by myself but just beyond reach.. Sitting down here and the pain is killing me off. I am now making an S.O.S call.. Who could come and help me?
After working half day on saturday, I need to look for an effective TCM doctor. Please help to solve my pain.. I am suspecting that I might have slip disk if I dont get it cured a.s.a.p..... If this comes true, I will need to reconsider my plans and my future.. dont you agree?

Happy V@lentine's D@y

If I could save time in a bottle
the first thing that I'd like to do
is to save every day 'til eternity passes away
just to spend them with you
if I could make days last forever if words could make wishes come true I'd save every day like a treasure and then again I would spend them with you
if I had a box just for wishes
and dreams that had never come true
the box would be empty except for the
memories of how they were answered by you
but there never seems to be enough time to do the things you want once you find them I've looked around enough to know that you're the one I want to go through time with
____________________________________
Happy Valentine's Day everyone.
For those who are single, wish you can enjoy next year's valentine's day with the one you love..
For those who are attached, enjoy this year & the future's valentine's day.
**Tulips**
The meaning of tulips is generally perfect love. Like many flowers, different colors of tulips also often carry their own significance. Red tulips are most strongly associated with true love, while purple symbolizes royalty. The meaning of yellow tulips has evolved somewhat, from once representing hopeless love to now being a common expression for cheerful thoughts and sunshine. White tulips are used to claim worthiness or to send a message of forgiveness. Variegated tulips, once among the most popular varieties due to their striking color patterns, represent beautiful eyes.
