random thoughts |
it occurred to me that it never did rain in beijing.
neither did it snow.
i got really pissed. it was the first piano lesson of my year and i get to go when its raining like nobody's buinsess. okok, i'm hearing snide remarks again, particulary those of huiying's "i thought u LIKED rain?" yea, i love rain the korean, (bi as we noe him in the language) and i do like rain but not TORRENTIAL RAIN. it was horrendous. that new pair of slippers from thailand got so slippery in the rain (mind u, it was the part that touches my sole tt was slippery, wad can be worse than that?!) that i might as well walk on fish. great. thanks to my annoying sister who refused to switch lessons with me. if not i'd be dry and nice at home. NOOOOO, instead i had to walk in the rain that has not let up even now, and spend the day with my teacher who happened not to be in the best of moods. cold, wet, i wished for a heat pack. which made me think of beijing. again.
i miss that place. not that it was specteculary fun or beautiful, but beijing has her charms. especially so since i felt uber bonded to the rest during the trip. i just miss the weather. and its kinda nice having buildings that are older than you, your mom and your grandparents added together. makes you marvel at how great they were. and of course, how many died in the process.
dang, who am i kidding? its the rich culture that they have there. no matter what, we are still not up to that level in singapore. its the sort of thing that comes with a long history. the culture they have on the steets, the history, the future, the modern, the old, all in one city.
did i mention that even though it didn't snow, i don't really feel pissed?
dang. i must be mad.
