Brief Write-up of Experiences in China

LOLSUP.

A brief introduction:

Spent most of my Holidays in China [I.E. Only 2 days in Singapore]. Out of that long period of time, around 3 days were wasted away in Beijing. TSK. The rest were spent in Liaoyang. The last Friday was spent on a plane.

1. Shopped for CDs and watched TV shows there -- sigh! Chinese TV shows are soooo much better than Singaporean ones! Bought Lilo and Stitch CDs[Chinese version], 家有儿女 1 & 2, 上书房, 宝莲灯前传 and 黑脸大包公。Obviously some are meant for the younger sister. Watched a few shows happily. LOLed at CCTV 少儿's cartoons.


2. Read GOOD books there! Thanks to my cousin [23, female, resident in America], I obtained some three sets of her favourite books: 太平，宫杀 and my favourite，琅琊榜。Strongly recommend the last one to Matt! Shall bring it on Monday for some advertisement. *Vaguely happy thoughts* Hopefully some people will like it...? It's fiction, weird genre [not romance, not action, not thriller, not crime, not 武侠, maybe historic, maybe war...], very interesting and quite long.

Shameless advertisement follows!

山前灯火欲黄昏，山头来去云。鹧鸪声里数家村，潇湘逢故人。挥羽扇，整纶巾，少年鞍马尘。如今憔悴赋招魂，儒冠多误身

具有双重身份的贵公子，争嫡中的太子与亲王，手握禁军的国中第一高手，统率南境铁骑的美丽郡主……周旋在这些权高位重身份不凡的人之间，为什么反而是行事低调的苏哲成为了所有事件的核心？
掀起狂风巨涛的那只幕后之手，会不会就是前一波恶浪席卷之后留下的泡沫？
他的身份，究竟是雪夜薄甲逐敌千里的少年将军，还是病体支离年寿难永的阴沉谋士？
他重回旧地再遇旧友，他翻云覆雨机关算尽，到底是想要达到一个什么样的目的？
这是一个既有晦暗阴谋，也有兄弟情义的故事，在这个故事没有走到最终结局之前，也许你，也可以左右它的走向……

一卷风云琅琊榜，囊尽天下奇英才。
历经地狱烈焰归来，他碎了旧骨，拼却余年，以一介白衣之身来到大梁帝都，掀起了皇室争嫡的波波血影惊涛。
为权为势？为恩为怨？为了逝去的清明理想，还是为了待雪的累累沉冤？
团团疑云，层层迷雾，真相大白之日，亦是命运轮回之始。金戈未平，官墙之内，风起难止，岁月浮沉之间，唯有那千秋情义，浩世长存……

TL;DR version: Main character seeks revenge for big crime committed 12 years ago.


3. In-line skating can be dangerous to one's coccyx, especially when falling on hard rocks.


4. LOLSKATEBOARDS!


5. My grandpa's high blood pressure became obviously dangerous upon the end of our holidays. Too scary to continue typing about it.


6. Plane was delayed TWO HOURS upon returning to Singapore!!
