A year ago, if you have told me that the well oiled world order as I have always known would turn topsy turvy, and that I would not be able to differentiate what is real and fake, I would have told you you must be out of your mind.
No way would a world powerhouse be headed by one who spends more time on tweet arguments than in running a country. Or a leader can be so undiplomatic to offend and alienate so many, including close allies in such a short period of time. Or that the world would be entertained by a muse who uses unfounded facts to take actions. Makes one wonder how long more before the entertained become the exasperated.
That a well respected state leader who served well the public all his life would be served punitive punishment for the trivial based on circumstantial evidence. Or that a housewife spouting hocus pocus could control the actions of a country’s highest ranked officer and bring down the heir of one of its biggest and oldest conglomerates. That unmentionable habits and dirty laundry would become threats to coerce desired political actions that would cripple a strong and growing economy. And with more to come!
Yes, I will never believe that my world would become topsy turvy as it is today…
This so reminds me of Park Sihoo-ssi’s Jean Thierry Cha (“JTC”) or Cha Seungjo in his drama “Cheongdamdong Alice”. His post traumatic stress disorder or PTSD made him paranoid. And because of his paranoia, he lived in a topsy turvy world of his own interpretation, seeing things differently from others. Like his personification of the clock rabbit in Alice in Wonderland, what he perceived might not be what they were in reality.
Like him, today, I feel as if I live in a dreamlike state. The world has become so surreal! So unpredictable you don’t know what would happen next! Sane or insane? When will I wake up and when I do, what will my world be like then?
Topsy turvy or right side up?
What do you think? I need some advice from my clock rabbit 시계 토끼 ! 어떻게? 어떻게? How? How? Help!
颠倒的世界
一年前,如果你告诉我,我一直习惯有规律的世界秩序会颠倒过来,无法区分什么是真实的和虚假,哪我会告诉你你有毛病。
一位世界强国的领导绝对不会浪费宝贵时间在推特上争论,而忽略管好国家。或者外交可以差到在短时间内冒犯和疏远了多年的盟友。或世界将会被一个缪斯人利用毫无根据的事实来决定国家策略行动,而感到有趣。就不知道这有趣娱乐哪时会变成激怒。
一位受人尊敬,一生为公众服务的特区领导会被旁证给予严重惩罚。或一个普通的妇女厉害到可以控制国家最高级别官员的行动,并可以把国家最大和最老的企业集团之一的继承人给拉倒。不当行为可以成为胁迫政治行动的威胁,导致成一个繁荣和不断增长的经济下跨。后头可能还会有更多!
是的,永远不会相信我现在的世界会变颠倒…
这让我想起施厚君在电视剧“清谭洞爱丽丝”里饰演的Jean Thierry Cha或车胜祖。他的创伤后应激障碍或PTSD使他偏执。因为他的妄想,他生活在一个颠倒的世界中,看到的事情不同于其他人。像“爱丽丝梦游仙境”中的时钟兔子的拟人化,他所看到的可能不是现实。
像他一样,今天,我觉得自己处在梦幻般的状态。世界变得如此超现实!不可预测!不知道接下来会发生什么! 理智还是疯狂? 我会什么时候醒过来?那时,我的世界会是什么样呢?
颠倒还是立正?
妳们是怎么看的? 我需要时钟兔子시계토끼给一些建议!어떻게? 어떻게?怎么办?怎么办?请帮忙!

I don’t want to talk politics, just as much as Nance would like to avoid this subject. However the recent tides of the worlds have flashed big waves right straight onto our face that’s the reason for Nance to vent out the chestful of frustration. Things that happened lately in the world we thought we knew had gone bizzarely wrong. Having myself lived nearly 7 years in Hong Kong, I am absolutely dumbfounded by the latest development of what happened to the HK judicial system that victimised a great leader of HK who had contributed all his life of 45 years of government service. The so call evidence put up by the prosecutor are really laughing stocks, so similar to the days when the world were given the story of a very respectable moderate political figure who we thought would be a good successor to the top seat in Malaysia, but the world were given the fabricated story that he was a pedafile. Meanwhile my personal frontier with the vet who my dog had been seeing whole of his life (15 over years) turned against us with ill informed hearsay and without even a slight interest to verify our words that the dog was doing fine, the vet insisted the dog must be put down on 9th or 10 Feb 2017 if not this vet was going to report us the parents of Bob to RSPCA for animal cruelty. This vet clinic last physically examined our dog on 31st December 2016 thereafter had not seen my dog at all and on 9th Feb 2017 I received a phone call from the clinic that due to the hearsay of maggots which I mentioned to the nurse over phone that dog was recovering very well from a maggots episode that cleaned his breath, that occured on the 4th and 5th Feb 2017.The vet on 8th Feb rang and said dog had to be put down, no mention at all the they want to see the dog at ( This is the most surprising thing to me!!). By the 9th they rang again to say if we still don’t put the dog down, RSPCA !!! We went to some other vet ……Our dog had his best days from 6th to 18th Feb 2017 and passed on at the time he told us he wanted to go on 20 Feb 2017 with all faculties of eyesight, hearing, walking, running, wagging tail, eating, drinking intact to his last moment (except his breathing that had begun to be heavy and difficult). While I thought the biggest help both physical and emotional were going to be drawn from this long time vet who ought to know me, I was betrayed with unbelievable sense of bewilderment and shock, of such an epic irony. What has the world become? Sorry I have diverted too far from PSH’s subject, and I admire how Nance is able to link this perspective to CDDA the PSH in CDDA who had to view his world from a very different perspective due to his personal experiences. And so are we : me and Nance, right at this moment in time.
The real world, the sense of reality is strong! The peak of the time to look up; fall to the bottom of the time when the devaluation of the interests of the temptation to follow the time; the benefits of breaking off when! Reverse confusion, embodies the fickle heart! Open your eyes and find the heart, slowly understand, feel deeply, will have the vision, all these can see; grow up, quietly strong, will have the ability to counter clockwise! Time rabbit, or their own thinking or, ultimately, it is hoped that efforts will be rewarded!
