Okay, I have been traveling around, hence not much of update. Well, the purpose of my trip here to the US ain't really traveling, but, spending time with a whole bunch of relatives (or rather, my Mum's friends). Actually, Mum knows 杜阿姨, but she has 6 other siblings who take turn to take care of me and show me around. So, I actually have many tour guides and hosts. One of the most significant stuff I've done for the past few days is, working! I went to the newspaper printing factory to work for an afternoon, to stuff advertisement into the newspaper. Thank God for the skill I acquired while stuffing bulletin in Usher Ministry. And then, I spent one morning doing carpentry work, from filing to conditioning and applying gel to a big wooden piece of artwork. I went to Galveston, a long island. The beach was beautiful, so were the sea gulls. The most interesting thing of it all was that we drove onto the ferry, about 60 cars at any one time, and we sailed across the rough sea. Oh boy, the wind was at level 15 out of 20 when stationary. While sailing, the wind speed increased to the level of typhoon, and I was almost blown away. Thank God Wai and Xinli weren't there, if they were, they better wear a parachute! Right now, I'm staying with the 3rd Aunt, she's beautiful, beautifully 60. Really thank God for all the people here. They love me, they wanna keep me as their godson, and they make me feel so home. Now, I've got homes in Singapore, in Taiwan and USA. The love and food they shower me with are simply incredible! And guess what, I'm staying in an area where the houses surround a huge lake! I mean, that's really luxury! If the house in Sri Lanka was a palace, then the houses here are like... Castle! I'll be traveling to Austin, the capital of Texas tomorrow. After I return, I'll leave for San Francisco, a last minute opportunity to travel to a city! I'll definitely return for more in the future, and trust me, this is a beautiful place to bring a girl. No more, no less, just one, perfect. Talking about girls, please watch 秋海棠, film of the century. I was watching it night and day with the 3rd aunt, with mucus and tears, strawberry and milk. Please watch it, I urge you, I beseech you, I encourage you. |
