oouch...
there is a chinese saying that goes.
"水火无情"
there is also another one that goes.
"欺山莫欺水"
these two proverbs basically refer to the power of the water. the first one means the element of fire and water are both mercy-less.
the second proverb means one can always bully(take advantage) the greatest mountain but. never ever the water.
i think throughout history. many culture has experienced the power of the water element. in fact the list of chinese proverbs implying the sheer power of the water element goes on and on. so. i think people that like to push the limit when playing in water are simply risking death.
when i went to work on saturday. i was suprised to find so many police around there were even navy divers in action. to complete the picture. worried family members staring blankly at the sea. it turned out that a 14 year old malay had drowned in the sea. and the whatever authority are trying their best to search for the lost body. i heard that he was fishing or wadever. anyway. i dont think its important what he was doing as he is already dead.
the search was still on when i went for work the next day on sunday. it was around 6.30pm that they finally managed to find the body. after being soaked in the sea for 2 days. i think the state of the body must be. er. bad. i believe its like bread soaked in water. and the fish certainly would feed on the body. the ironic thing is its the mid autumn festival yesterday.
thousand of years ago. one chinese poet also drowned and people were searching for his body. to prevent the fish from eating his body. people threw dumplings into the water to feed the fish. they simply assumed that the dumplings they made were much tastier than the flesh of the deceased....
er.. WaIt.... i think that is the dumpling festival. another one. whatever. i mean they could have applied the same theory. anyway. the message i am trying to bring across today is. dont push the limit and try your luck. no one ever predict an accident to happen.
