Psychic spies in China

"Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind's elation"- Californication by Red Hot Chilli Peppers

my ideal holiday will be any retreat that involves physical exercise, whether it is kayaking in the waters off another country, climbing some arduous mountain, cycling and navigating through unknown streets, or camping overnight in the woods.

that's why you can see that when i was in china for 8 days, it felt like eternity to me.
yes i'm very blessed to have a family of 7, yes 7 with me over in china.
this family time, was somewhat marred by my own selfish sense of what was an interesting holiday to me.
but still, i thank God for family reunion that He is working in right now, and then family SALVATION!!
for the whole trip, i just relaxed, encompassing many ways of relaxation that you can think of.
Sleeping at any chance i have in the tour bus, eating much carbs and then sleeping again, eating much and then sleeping again, and choosing to continue sleeping when the rest have alighted the bus for a tourist attraction stop (which is usually some 'medicine' peddling or 'jade' peddling place)
a part of me knew that i should just switch on my mp3 and drown myself in the messages,
a part of me just wanted to listen to Christian music instead and relax and drift off into sleep,
a part of me just wanted to listen to worldly music like Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

why i chose to listen to the second and the third option is basically very simple- listening to a sermon would require me to sit up and listen attentively, because i wouldn't want to put on a sermon and just drift away, which defeats the purpose.
and of course the third option is just allowing myself a little bit of rock emo music in RHCP.
ever since i read the lead singer's biography and how he came up with the lyrics of the band songs, i just wanted to listen to their songs and match the lyrics to what the lead singer was experiencing at that time when he came up with the songs, which is pretty much in a junkie lifestyle that he was leading.wells

i'm thankful i purchased a book at the eleventh hour, two days before i left for China in fact, another biography of Bill Bowerman, the man behind Nike. That book really gripped me and i just read as and when i could, finishing the book by the end of the trip.
i'm actually looking forward to some biography by some mountain climber, or finshing where i left off in lance armstrong's bio.
why a mountain climber? cos i was just relishing the amazing scenery that China offers in her rolling mountains and some even snow-capped since it's winter over there, the thing is that these mountains were around 4000m high and they already look so gargantun in size, what about Mount Everest that will probably reach into the heavens above?
and hence mountain climbers are an amazing lot, braving the temperatures and the altitudes to reach the top.

despite my boredom, God is still faithful. God is still faithful.
His fingerprints are all over my trip, and it's these little things that we should be thankful for, which makes it even more exciting.
these fingerprints, i will rather share in person or write it in another entry.

sidetracking, i'm kinda disappointed by Michael Jordan's divorce in the papers.
after 17 years of marriage, he is calling it quits with his wife.
An affair marred his marriage, and definitely other undercurrents rocking.
but yea Michael Jordan, once a role model and superstar, is stll human after all in his once reported gambling habits and now his marriage.
so yea where's the role model in him now??????????????
