“Misdirection is the key to survival, never attack what your enemy defends, never behave as your enemy expects, and never reveal your true strength. If knowledge is power then to be unknown is to be unconquerable.”

  • Ramakien (wikipedia link)

    It’s the only one I remembered, thanks to secondary school. I remember that they are other mythology, mostly in the form of children stories, but I can’t remember the name or even the plot.

    [warning : incoming rant]

    Frankly, literatures is one of my least favorite subject in my entire school years, partly thanks to many local literatures that was so terribly written I have no idea why people still talk about them fondly. For heck sake, one of the first story we learn in primary school is a few step away from being a porn. Compare to these, at least Ramakien is somewhat enjoyable.

  • One thing about us East and Southeast Asians is that we said what we’re expected to said in a certain event in such a scale that once you heard one, you have heard it all.

    Funeral, for example - “The dead is a good person” = I don’t personally know the dead. “The dead is a good friend” = I personally know and deal with the dead. “The dead is a good kid” = The dead is my child/children, or I’m his/her teacher. You get the idea.

    So, yeah, I won’t read too much into an official statement on a dead person. As my parents said “Don’t listen to what people said, but watch what they do” .
