China

Well. I'm back after 8 days in china.. tired but satisfied... not gonna bore anyone including myself with details of the trip but what i would write are kinda like thoughts i thought of on the trip.. more of dreams and daydreams.. things i do when i have plenty of time.. with nothing to do...

Firstly on planes.. i think there is a conspiracy on the planes.. they give u toilets so small you get claustrophobic and then they serve u shit food so you have to get into the toilet to hear the sounds of air zooming pass the plane and get so shaken you cannot walk straight. haha. not that terrible.. but close. but one good thing on planes.. at least they give you good movies to watch..

On emperors.. things dun get any better than being an emperor in ancient china.. just going to their numerous gigantically magnificent palaces makes me jealous and in awe. Imagine it.. You have a house so big if you stay in a different room since you were born every night.. you would take 27 years to finish living in it.. you have all the trappings of wealth and greatness with plenty of places to show it from the grandest of statues and carvings to the most minute details of the tiles on the floor and there is more.. you have gates, exclusive and titanic, with spectacular arches and and opening so big an army could pass through it... but no.. no one could pass through it 'cept you.. how wonderful is that.. and there is the fame and everything that comes with being an emperor.. everyone bows to you regardless of age and occupation.. and your word is law.. how bad can a life as an emperor get.

And then there is the good marketing strategy of the Chinese.. they are goddamn smart i tell you.. First they let the tour guide give you a talk on the things that you should buy.. and as a 'neutral' person.. we are more inclined to believe them than shopkeepers.. so they talk so much that your heart moves.. then when you reach the shops.. they show you around and ask for some big shot in the company to give some talk on their items... and sometimes they insert words on your health or stuff and wow.. they are persuasive.. even i get persuaded. haha. that's not a good gauge, ok. even my father gets persuaded.. and if anyone have been tracking the millions of times i have quarrelled with him.. you will noe that that takes skill.

Then there's this day we went to the zoo.. and 'cept for the pandas i have seen all the animals before.. but my thoughts were more on the thoughts of the animal than the animals itself. I saw this lion. solitary. in a compound so barren and cold that it does not in anyway imitates the savannahs from which he origin. and there he sat. sad and gloomy.. and i heard this boy ask.. why is the lion not moving. then i thought.. perhaps it was a quote i read from some books which i noe not.. but yeah. ok. putting it in my story's words.
'why are you not moving, o' king of beasts?'
"look all around you' the lion said ' have you been to a buffet where you are forced to watch and smell and not eat? I see and smell meat in all forms at close range everyday in my life. And never did they throw one down for me to consume. and the most pathetic thing is showing me all these spectacular food and then feeding me with goddamn chickens! Lions don't eat chickens! We eat buffalos! antelopes! elephants! hippopotami! Other Lions! Man! but not chickens! chickens are for dogs and lesser hunters man. I am the king of beasts, and you feed me CHICKENS!!!"

Thats for the lion and then there was the wolves running around in circles around their pathetically small compound and once again i thought on why did they do so and again i will put in in my storyline..lol.
"why are you prancing in circles, wolves of grey fur?"
"don't ask me" the wolves said " we are just following the leader up ahead over there. yep. there he is the guy in the shiny black coat."
"Why do you lead them in circles then, leader wolf?"
"I see prey infront.. a wolfish grey kind of hound which we are hunting down.. but he seem to be always running in circles.. stopping when we stop.. running when we run. and he i well hunt and follow till the end... for wolves never give up.. its our inner nature." The black wolf says, before adding softly to our hero "and running in circles makes them forget that we are trapped in a small compound and i as their leader have to keep their morale up so one day when we are strong enough.. we could break out."

Enough of zoos. In china also went the great wall.which to me was scary cos i am kinda acrophobic and i could not get myself pass the 2nd tower. i had the strength to move but my legs refused to move and i do not trust myself to push it too far.. I fear that if i pushed my legs to far.. they will mutiny and run me off the cliff into a cold scary death below the walls.. guess its part of being not down to earth.. when you fly, you fear you fall but if you are down to earth, you will never fly.

One more thing.. EPL results should be posted everywhere... i had nightmares there about West ham VS tottenham and not knowing the results sux.

that's that for the trip. have to feed my gnawing hunger for FM. haha.

till nxt time.
