A trainer once shared a story about his visit to India. He said during that visit there was a strike going on. The people were very unhappy about the poor transportation (buses) system, there were only ten buses to ply the town from which eight of the buses broke down after wear-and-tear hence the people couldn't get to work, home, school, anywhere; there just wasn't enough buses and the bus operator didn't have capital to buy more buses. In the end, the matter was resolved when the people set fire and burnt the two, remaining buses down. The trainer himself being Indian, commented - "Ha! ok lah, now all walk lah, walk a longer distance lah" (It's like - what were you thinking!). He questioned the people while he was there, because he felt that it was counter-intuitive, but the people maintained that by destroying the remaining two buses, they were averaging out since there wasn't enough buses to have an effective system anyway, so now everyone could be sympathized equally.
I don't know what relevance that story has with my mock-smashing of the violin.
I only intended to tell Kiki that if she was not happy to practise then we might as well smash the violin so she doesn't have to practise anymore. So I mock-smash the violin onto the bed and I couldn't get it to sing again! Gosh. It went out-of-tune. How now brown cow, it was only Sunday and we will still have to practise during the week! So darn counter-intuitive right! -_-" I thought that I would easily be able to tune the violin since it looks to me like twisting of the knobs & pegs. But, No..... End up Bren took the violin to the school nearby and the staff helped to tune it last night. *Sigh.
