It's weekend again, just read a book and saw the "above" part, so try to translate it into english,don't know if it's ok. hehe just want to share.:-)

Have a great weekend guys. best wishes from China

Thank for the word of Wisdom. The translation is fine:) Have a great weekend

Thanks Lan! I love it!

I really do!

I will re- read it when my mind is more clear!

Right now, at 1:30 AM , the three things I need to remember are:

1. Where did I put my whiskey bottle and ice?

2. Should I foolishly pour one more and keep ignoring the wonderful woman sleeping in my bed, that loves me ,is choking in her sleep from my constant cigarrette smoke, and puts up with all my **** with nothing but an accepting loving heart??

3. Where is my bed?

it really nice to know, thanks for sharing

3 some sweetie? i am drunk now

LOL @Randy: since you can't even find your bed, i don't know if it's ture that you like my journal then :-p

Sassy: 3some? yeah right, you wish, you butterfly, which 3 btw i hope i am counted. lol

lol....i am still up lan...

and i know where my bed is :-) ( i was joking before)

...so that must mean it is true that i like your journal!

my first posting was at 1:32 AM...

(and yes, i foolishly ignore my princess when she is asking me to come to bed)

now it is 2:35...i drank more...but i still love your journal :-)

and sorry to make you sad....sassy's idea of a 3some is her , a bottle of fine red wine, and a catapillar with 100 tickely legs (i can't spell tickely in english cause i am too drunk...but in english / thai..."jukachee"?????

:-)

just kidding about 3 some stuff of course :-)

> There are three things you need to defend: country,honour and family <

Nah, There are four things you need to defend: country,honour, family and ursself

Sorry but i couldnt help thinking about the 3some idea like others hahahaha

Anyway, there're 3 persons you love the most in your life : your family, your bf and yourself

It's good. I try to make it smoother the way a native speaker would say it best, make the meaning clearer, and clear up some grammatical issues. I hope I got the right idea in each case.
