Remember to listen in silence after you pray - you may receive an answer!

I always wonder why God never answer my prayers, maybe I was too busy to listen.

A story on giving

HIS NAME WAS FLEMING, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog.

He dropped his tools and ran to the bog. There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow ad terrifying death. The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduces himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.

"I want to repay you," said the nobleman.

"You saved my son's life." "No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish Farmer replied, waving off the offer.

AT THAT MOMENT, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel. "Is that your son?" the nobleman asked. "Yes," the farmer replied proudly. "I'll make you a deal. Let me take him and give him a good education. If the lad is anything like his father, he'll grow to a man you can be proud of."

And that he did. In time, Farmer Fleming's son graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin. Years afterward, the nobleman's son was stricken with pneumonia. What saved him? Penicillin. The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill. His son's name? Sir Winston Churchill.

Someone once said: What goes around comes around. Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching.

-I expect to pass this world but once. Any good thing, therefore, that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any fellow human being let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.-

Beijing 8.2 - Good Bye Lunch-

There was nothing special about the Good bye lunch except the 'ta fu fa'... Those found in Msia usually mixed sweeteneer... here they add a lot of different stuffs instead!

5ive typee of stuffs which I couldnt remember and the Taste... I dont realy like it but its worth a try.
Basically, I had a good trip but not the best because its too COLD and joining tourgroup which required us to wake up before 7am and reach hotels about 9pm everyday was simply too taxing. If we skipped all the con-shops (about 7even in total), It could have save us 2days extra...

I rather backpack than joining another CHINA-TOUR! That's why in the 1st day Mr.li said vacation is 'buying suffering', that is only true for commercial tour!

Beijing 8.1 -Foot Massage-

The National Olympic Games Energy Experience Center. Wow! Finally there is a place for sports. At the entrance of this center, I saw 10-20 athletes jogging. I thought this must be the real, something that's good and official.

The warm herbs water for leg washing was perfect to ease the freezing temperature outside. Goodanee! Then came the trainee "Chinese doctors' to help us massage our feet.

Then did I realize that this was a Con-shop as well. The tactics they used was the worst I had experienced. The kid who massaged my foot try to force me to buy an oilmen for RMB200. I insist of not taking it! Of all the china con-shops I went to, this was my most pissed off.experience. Unlike others con-shops, I could just walked away but not this one because he was holding my foot.
Although, his massage skills was the worst but I learn few things about foot massages. Foot massage can be done at home by putting marbles into water and steps on it.
China is promoting Tibet and market Tibetan's product. Tibetan doctor consult patient my looking at their palm.

This center totally destroy any hope of me believing in anything true / real coming out from China-Tour! If that boy whom massaged my leg was truly a Chinese trainee doctor, I am sure China will have no future!!!!
