Knot (china day 2)

I cannot remember much about what happened in day 2 of the zhong san trip. I do remember going the house of Sun Zhong San that day. We took the bus there and Tim the tour guide started talking again. I cant remember what we were doing i think we were talking at the back of the bus and not listening to tim for that trip so much so that the adults in the back were telling us to lower our volume. We reached the house and they apparently preserved the whole village. Of course there was a larger building that acts as a museum for everything. We took a tour of Sun Zhong San's house when he was in Zhong San itself. He's quite a complicated person really. Plus the chinese really like honolulu huh?

There was this statue of an old man, a young girl and a boy who was supposed to be the young ZhongSan. The girl was perched on the oldman's leg. At first it was alright. Then at one angle, ms chairwoman pointed out that it looked obscene. Everyone in the group was so shocked and suprised that she said it because it DID look obscene. I mean, if it was from Andy or something its excusable but from Aunty Jenny??? Whoa... She must really be young at heart huh?

We took a few photos before leaving the place. If I'm not mistaken, we went to another old place. It was pretty cool like something out of a chinese drama serial of princesses and concubines and princes the like. There was a magic show where i was asked to volunteer. The magician was very funny. This short, round chinese bloke which bounced to the background music. He also called me "shuai ge" or sumth like that. Made everyone think i had red underwear as well. =P Then there was this other guy who could change mask faster than you could say "Carrotop!". Another guy could pour tea like a pro. He had a really long spout and performed wushu-like moves all for the sake of pouring tea.

I cant remember if it was that day but i went shopping with marcus koufu. Bought a pair of converse shoes and S&K Jeans which were really nice. We were supposed to go to our old place place somewhere but i chose not to so after dinner, Yun Ting, Yun Ying, Xiao Du etc. and I went shopping and i got my very first BEANIE! Also got a pair of sunglasses and marcus koufu thought that I was trying to imitate "Rain" Haha.

After practicing one last time for the performance, we went back to our bunks and retired for the night. Relations with others are like knots. When we meet other people, our strings cross each other, waiting to be tied. Sometimes, the string doesnt get entangled at all and moves on but sometimes, we will knot on each other. Thus the first simple knot comes in place. Much like meeting other people. We get to know each other and at once, the first knot is tied. As the knot grows stronger, we get to know each other better and start to be with each other more. Sometimes time will test the knot. By fire and water or whatever. If the string is strong, it wont burn but melt into each other. Thats when the string is almost inseperable. Unless we cut it ourselves. Stay away from all sorts of communication. But when we cut it, we would have lost that bit of our string which was tied to the other person's one thus losing part of ourselves in the process. Maybe some strings wont cross at all until we take a turn in our life. Ready to tie the knot?
