triple the power

Ok, some complained that i'm too pessimistic. So yeah, maybe i'm a bit depressed? Haha, well, as long as don't want to stay that way.

Ok, to have a change, let me blog about something interesting (to some people). Nothing personal, nothing out of the heart, just some interesting facts that i found.

Was with Jingjing one fine day in a hawker centre when we found the name of a stall to be something 淼 (miǎo), so we tried to think of all the chinese words that is made up of 3 simple words stacked together. but could only think of a few. I compiled a list of them...hahah.... enjoy. I'll highlight the ones i think cool

⑴鑫，读xīn，财富兴盛（多用于人名或字号）。
⑵森，读sēn,形容树林多。
⑶淼，读miǎo, <书>形容水大。用于渺茫，浩淼等词语。
⑷焱，读yａn，<书>火花，火焰。多用于人名。
⑸垚，读yａo，<书>山高。多用于人名。

动物
犇（bēn），“奔”的异体字，意思是急走、跑；急着去做。最牛的汉字当属“犇”，美中不足的是“犇”的字义不是特别牛。

A closer look at 口
15 品（pǐn），本义是众多。“品”从三口。口代表人，三个表多数，意即众多的人。
两个口，吕，甲骨文字形，象脊骨形，是“膂”的本字。本义：脊梁骨
