ah finally my com is working...
after the one week trip in shanghai, i realise one thing. chinese have the hardware but utterly lack software. so basically my mum and i with my bro and sis went to this place called "shanghai 老街". the place sold antiques and also the famous xiao long pao :D anyway so the place was super crowded and this man happen to bump into my mum seemingly on purpose coz the stretch of road we walked on had quite a bit of space to manouver and yet he purposely walked straight into her. so basically she sort of cursed in english under her breath... and this guy instead of saying sorry started scolding all the hokkien profanities on and on while walking away... haiz i can't say it was totally his fault for this, but he could have at least apologise....
well shanghai is nice but it is like super polluted. i think the psi there can be easily 120 almost evry day. so in comparison to the more rural hangzhou (i went there for 2 days by train) , i still prefer hangzhou esp the west lake where the sights are serene and charming. oh one thing happen at hangzhou that was super funny. we went to this temple that day and then later visited the tomb of yue fei, however according to locals they said that if u wanna visit the 2 places you shld go to the tomb 1st then the temple or else bad luck will fall on you / your wishes in the temple will not come true.
so when my sis heard it, she just said " there is no such thing lor ..." well she did not get to complete the sentence as when she stepped into the tomb itself, and said that sentence, she immediately fell and tore her pants ( knees part)
well some say this is coincidence, while others say it is the work of yue fei haha
now that i am finally back in singapore, i finally decided to end my one year career as a canoeist... and decided to focus more on my studies and God. well this decision was a weird one coz i seriously did not wanna quit frm kayaking... it reminds me of last yr where i had also quit my cca early just to study too. furthermore that nite i was thinking on my bed about which will come first in my life cca or religion, and then just when i was about to make up my mind, huili called and asked me if i was going for service with the cell grp... it was then that i decided to go for religion and studies and also sadly to leave the team...
since that nite i had been having loads of weird dreams. one involved melvin and his grandma asking me for something. another one was with marcus leong and neng jie (scout), and another was me being a jedi knight from star wars or something and then there was one with my ai tong frens arghhh just so weird all my frens are in my dreams...
oh and SCM is in 10 days and i also have cell grp chalet and class chalet one after another.... sian
