Remembering China
Tuesday
World news lately are mostly spirit-depressing *sigh*
Myanmar cyclone…
China earthquake…
Mahathir’s out of UMNO…
Aiiiihh….mix story pula. *wink*
You know…as I drove back to Keningau this morning and listening to this news about our former PM quitting UMNO…I thought, maybe Tun is just fed-up with all these ’serious’ matters and they are taking a toll out of him.
You know…like…“Hey, I am no longer PM…why should I be interested in politics. I should quit!”
LOL!
Oukay..oukay…that’s just me thinking.
Seriously, do people like Tun possess simple thoughts.
I mean, like for once, don’t bother about worldly issues…who’s who in the leading party…what’s so and so’s administration design…etc..etc…
In short, do people like Tun, think like the unknown, infamous people do?
To think nothing but to live and survive?
I guess not.
My thinking leads to nothing actually cos as I try to generate such thoughts, they are making my head pounding.
So better not think about it. Ha!
On a different story, my mom is somewhere in China now.
God knows how big China is…
Traveling.
Warned her about the recent earthquake in China and to that, she uttered not a word.
But somehow, deep in my heart, I knew what her answer will be.
“Death is a sure matter.”
Speaking of China…mom has been to China more than the times I’ve climbed mount Kinabalu.
I don’t know what’s with China that keeps her going there.
When asked why.
“China is not a small country.”
“But, they mostly have the same sceneries”
“Not all lah.”
I think, it’s something to do with the fact that her late Chinese father was hailed from the mainland China.
Don’t tell me you are trying to locate your long-lost relatives, mom??
I’ve heard cases where people trying to locate their Chinese relatives in China ended up being ‘robbed’ by their so called new found relatives. So bad!
It would be great if we can do preliminary Background Checks of these relatives prior meeting them face to face. Who knows what kind of people you may end up meeting! In that case, it’s better to do Criminal Checks on them…well, you know. Just in case.
Of course, I am not saying that China people are all like that.
In fact, I believe some of our own local people here are worst than them.
Even the buffalo’s skin is no match to their undefined thick skin.
Anyways, I’ve been to China once, in 1998.
Funded by mom. Ha!
Got the chance to climb Great Wall of China.
But I don’t remember much about my travel to China cos it all went so fast.
That’s what happened when you travel with tour group.
You don’t have the freedom to roam on your own and appreciate the beauty of a foreign land.
^_^
Today at work, someone was trying to persuade me into going to Manila in August.
Traveling temptation is highly bugging at the moment.
Urrgggggh!
PayPal oh PayPal…bila lah ko mau gemuk?
Ya jangan lagi lupa itu *tuut* ni kali.. Ngehngeh..

I understand your worry about your mother going to China. Me also like that. I’m sure she’ll be fine and come back home safely.
wooowww..you’ve been to the grrrrrrrrrreat wall of China! How jealous am I hahaha. You know what, that’s one of the places I want to visit on this planet. In fact, I’m actually so close to it (sabarang laut jak…) but my leg is chained to my lab..huhuhuhukkkk…
Anyways, if you have chance to go to Manila, go!!!
I just text message with her last night and yeah..she sounds excited. Ok lah tu. *nasib ndak brapa mahal text messaging*
Haha…go unchained your leg lah…while u are there, dekat2…better take the chance to visit China. Is it xpensive to travel from Jipun to China?

anyway, china was a wonder. went there once as well. climbed the great wall with dad. wanna go there again but this time i bet hubby wants to bring me to his native land - India.
haha.. tengokla kalu ada duit.
Yabah Ed…i’ve not been doing any assignments for a month plus oh. Pemalas mau login to PPP, Smorty, SponsoredReviews, etc for new ops.
Haha…my MIL went to India before and you know what she said…“that will be the first and last”. I guess, she doesn’t fancy the environment there. If I have the chance to go India, I’ll go for Taj Mahal..one of the 7+1 wonders of the world.

Carol, the only thing I know about China is the made in china slippers I have … LOL!
Your mom must be enjoying herself going for vacations … I envy her … hehehe …
LOL Nick!
I bet she is.
You envy her? That makes two of us.
She’s going for vacation again to Spain this coming September.
My mom is an annual traveler since 1989.
She sets in her yearly plan to have at least one vacation a year.
Well, she deserves it…after all the hard work back home.
