Hello everyone, I'm Abdullah from Saudi Arabia Sat Feb 10, 2007 18:02 pm  Hello everyone, I'm Abdullah from Saudi Arabia
 

Thanks Tom. I hope it's not too late to thank you. I'm very occupied right now with last minute experiments to get good data for my thesis and guess what, the spindle i'm working with broke!Honestly speaking I feel like crying though I wll never admit it to my seniors.I'm in a serious need to change the air,I'm beginning to smell like my lab!This place is a good place for me to get away (mentally) from all the work.

I know in my heart that all these will pass and I'll live through this.ALways reminding myself my favourite chinese proverb-What cannot kill you can only make you stronger.

The end.Sorry if I bore you with the story of my life.

The Spanish saying is very similar: What doesn't kill you, makes you fatter (lo que no mata, engorda). For some people, the alternative is just as bad, I guess!

PS: What a cute baby you have there, Nina!

Conchita,

why fatter?I guess it has to do with being thicker...which might mean stronger.

Anyway, that's my niece Aisya(Ahmadov thought I was a japanese mother with my baby haha!).I'm crazy about her I could eat her!

We took that picture when I went back to Malaysia last summer.She's 10 months old now.She's very very white! Her father is from the Chinese and Australian descendants and her hair is ginger and she has very small grey eyes!

Pardon me, please.I can talk about her all day she's my first niece and I never thought I would feel this way but after having her in my life I can't see any other baby as cute as her!

Your favorite Chinese proverb aroused my curiosity, Nina. Smile If possible I'd like to know the original expression (Pin Yin is OK). Do you happen to know it?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you, Nina, for taking the trouble for me. I have heard too that the proverb is an ancient Chinese one but never succeeded in finding the original. BTW & FYI, I was also told that Friedrich Nietzsche had used it in his works and made it popular.
