the cat's plate

Second hand shop dealer is very difficult business, isn't it? When he gets some finds, hecan make a lot of money. But he doesn't meat such opportunity so often. So, he goes outto far country side to find out rare things. When he sees farmer's house which seemshaving some old stuff and a person who knows but little of the world, he jumps at it or himand try to get a treasure with a bit of money. This story is about such kind of a secondhand shop dealer who went out for country side with a traveling outfit. It was Edo erabefore Meiji, middle of 19th century. So he wore kimono like I wear and put on waraji likesandals made of straw. He walked a lot but he didn't have any good bag on that day. Hewas very tired and pissed off with walking. It was a bit early for sunset. When heunconsciously turned his face to the sun, he saw a old rustic tea stall with a shinning glorymade by sunlight behind. There were two benches side by side. Tartan check pattern mats were laid and well bucket shape ash trays were placed on them. He recognized a old manwas blowing air into fire very hard with a bamboo pipe in the backside.
Dealer - Hello Grandpa..
The old man - Hello. Please have a seat. I will make tea for you.
Dealer - Oh, thank you. Can I take rest here? I am exhausted. When I go to a hotel, I willbe fine. It is nice around here, isn't it? Peaceful and quiet. Look at this beautiful landscape.What a pretty stream this is! I feel as if I get two or three years younger.
The old man - Yes. Anyway, please have a cup of tea.
The old man brought a cup on a tray from the backside. There was a pot for rice crackerand a lot of boxes for cheap sweets stood side by side next to it. By the one of boxes, acat was eating food put in a plate intently. When the dealer happened to have a look atthe plate, he found it was a plate for plum pot from Korea and very valuable. It would benot sold even with 300 ryoo easily. I have to explain what ryoo was. Ryoo was thecurrency in Edo era. Well, I can say 1 ryoo was equivalent to 10,000 yen today. So youunderstand how worthy this plate was, don't you?
Dealer - Uuuuum. What a great thing! But he must have had no idea about it because hefed the cat with the expencive plate. Good!
The old man - Mr ( okyaku-sama)? Would you like another cup of tea ?
Dealer- Yes, I would. Oh! Good cat, isn't it? Kitty, kitty, kitty! Ah! It's coming, It's coming.Good. Good. Come here. Come. Hahahaha. It's cute, isn't it?
The old man - Ah! Mr. That cat….. Ahhn. I don't think it's good idea for you to have to dowith this cat.
Dealer - It's O.K. I like a cat very much. A cats is a cute creature. Good. Good. This ispurring on my lap.
The old man - Hey! You shouldn't make our guest's cloth dirty. Come on. Get down.
Dealer - It's O.K. Never mind. Look at it. Looks very comfortable. This cat is very tameand friendly, isn't it?
The old man - Yes. You seem to like a cat and the cat knows about you like it.
Dealer - Yes. I used to have a cat. But it has gone somewhere and never come back. Mywife asked me "When you go somewhere, please find a good one and bring it to me". Buttoo small kitten would disappeare or die eventually. I think this size cat will be O.K. How doyou think? Can you give this cat to me?
The old man - What?
Dealer - Please don't make such strange look. I know. I would give some money. How aboutthree koban.
I have to explain what koban was. Koban was a common name of one of coins. Ko meanssmall. Ban is a change of han means stamp. There was also Ooban. You know oo means.Oo means ……. Speak out lodly. Yes. It means big. Koban was one ryoo. Ooban was tenryoo. So he said he pay 30,000 yen for a cat.
Dealer - These are for price of bonito flake till now. You have got more backside. You don'tmind giving one, do you?
The old man - I know you are right. But I lost my wife long time ago and I'm alone. That'swhy I have a lot of cats to divert my lonely heart. This cat has become attached to me.So …….
Dealer - Just one. Please. O.K, isn't it? I have no kid. So I will love this. Well, this is forbonito falake.
The old man - Three roo are too much. Mr!
Dealer - Please don't say no. Take them pleasae. It is not so much.
The old man - Is that so? Thank you very much. Well, I accept your offer.
Dealer - Hahahaha. Have a look. Grandpa. It fell asleep, purring in my bosom. It's verycute. Well, when I get a hotel, I will give you delicious food. Ah! have you fed the cat withthis plate?
The old man - Yes, I have.
Dealer - Is that so? I heard a cat doesn't want to eat food from a new plate. So I will takethis plate and feed it with it. O.K.? This plate?
The old man - Ah! Here is another plate. Please take this.
Dealer - It's all right, isn't it? You don't care such dirty plate, do you?
The old man - No no. I can't give you the plate.
Dealer - Why not? Who cares such smutty filthy plate?
The old man - You say such plate, but. I don't know you know. This is called " a plate forplum pot from Korea. You hardly get it. It is very very valuable stuff. I am down and outnow. I have bcome such poor old guy. But I can't part with this plate on any account.Please forgive me. It values more than 300 ryoo.
Dealer - Foon! Is that so? Is it worth such amount of money? But why did you feed a catwith such expensive plate?
The old man - Yes, Mr. It is interesting and funny. When I feed a cat with this plate,sometimes a cat is sold with three ryoo.

tiger and dragon

hello,ouh,lame rasenye sudah tidak update blog ini,atas permintaan kwn2(iye2 je)update la jgk.skrng ni tgh cuti,tiada ape yg menarik di rumah,hanya menjalani kehidupan sambil berbakti pada keluarga.masa depan juga perlu difikirkan,mcm mana lah agaknye,haha!aritu baru sahaja frenly rugbi di sbpi sabak bernam,walaupn kalah,tapi tetap menyeronokkan berjumpa dgn kwn2.

oh ye,kat sini nk previu satu drama yg seronok,drama jepun,mule2 aku mcm tak minat,wandan yg menyuruh menontonnya,abes je exam,kt umah,ak try la tgk citer ni,emm,bole tahan,kelakar jugak citernye,citer yg ak maksudkn tajuknye Tiger and Dragon



biar aku ceritakan sinopsis cerita ini :
citer ini berkisahkan tradisi jepun iaitu rakugo satu komedi masyarakat jepun yg bnyk bercerita kisah2 dahulu kala.Watak utamanye Toraji seorang pengikut yakuza yang melakukan rakugo kerana hendak mengutip hutang drpd gurunya sendiri dan juga Ryuji anak guru rakugo yg telah meninggalkan rakugo kerana pada pendapatnye kuno dan die memilih meninggalkan keluarganya.



Nagase Tomoya memegang watak sebagai Toraji manakala Okada Junichi memegang watak sebagai Ryuji.si cantik manis Ito Misaki membawakan watak Megumi.apa yang menarik pada cerita ini ialah komedi yang disampaikan.watak Toraji sangat lawak,dari pengikut yakuza cuba menyampaikan rakugo,dgn muke ganasnye,haha!bagi aku cerita ini memang menarik,mungkin ade yg da pernah tgk sbb citer lame kot.tapi korang patot tgk,bole menghabiskn cuti ini dgn satu bnde baru,haha!codo

Cornerstone

Arctic Monkeys
Cornerstone

Thought I saw you in the battleship
But it was only a look a like
She was nothing but a vision trick
Under the warning light
She was close, close enough to be your ghost
But my chances turned to toast
When I asked her if I could call her your name

I thought I saw you in the rusty hook
Huddled up in wicker chair
I wandered up for a closer look
And kissed who ever was sitting there

She was close, and she held me very tightly
Till I asked awfully politely, please
Can I call you her name

And I elongated my lift home,
Yeah I let him go the long way round
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
And kept my shortcuts to myself

I thought I saw you in the parrots beak
Messing with the smoke alarm
It was too loud for me to hear her speak
And she had a broken arm

It was close, so close that the walls were wet
And she wrote it out in letraset
No you can't call me her name

Tell me where's your hiding place
I'm worried I'll forget your face
And I've asked everyone
And I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along

I elongated my lift home
Yeah I let him go the long way round
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
And kept my shortcuts to myself

I saw your sister in the cornerstone
On the phone to the middle man
When I saw that she was on her own
I thought she might understand
She was close, well you couldn't get much closer
She said I'm really not supposed to but yes,
You can call me anything you want
