Day 33 -老鼠街 & Mid Autumn Festival
That day went down to老鼠街; we need to take a bus from our school all the way to虎泉. At 老鼠街, there is nothing much to shop as all the shops are for girls only. So all of us boys went to another street to shopping instead we found an IT mall but it is much bigger than the IT mall we have in Singapore about 2 to 3 times but on the both side of the road there are 2 IT mall but we only manage to shop 1 of the malls only and we need to head back to fetch the girls. At one of the shops, I brought a gift for Eshlyn as exactly 2 weeks is her birthday.
Around night time we went to a street that sell dogs, Eshlyn,JunRou and I was busying carrying the puppy as they are so small and cute. Always wanted a dog but my mummy always refuses as she is scared of dogs.
We head back to our hostel and brought my dinner with Eshlyn and gave her a birthday card and she brought moon cakes for every room.
Reflection
Eshlyn wanted to buy a puppy back as it is very cheap, only cost 100rmb which is S$21 only. In Singapore, if you want to buy a puppy and a good bred at least need to buy S$1k plus in order to get it. When the price of the dog is so cheap, people intend to treat the thing like dirt, maybe starting you will take good care of it but once there is interest conflicts happen you will choose the things that is more important than the dog. To us the dog is just small part of our lives but to the dog, we are their entire life. Buying a pet is not just the person taking care of it but is family matter. Today is mid autumn festival, Chinese have a poem”明月几时有?把酒问青天。不知天上宫阙,今夕是何年?我欲乘风归去,又恐琼楼玉宇,高处不胜寒。起舞弄清影,何似在人间? 转朱阁,低绮户,照无眠。不应有恨,何事长向别时圆?人有悲欢离合,月有阴晴圆缺,此事古难” at this moment, I really understand this poem now when I am away from my family and all alone from them for the this trip. So how I feel that the moon at Singapore is much rounder than in China.
