This Christmas is uneventful.
Really uneventful. I want to write something but I couldn't even muster the whatever to write. Yknow what is the whatever? The whatever represents my complete lack of enthusiasm in whatever I was talking about before. Let me write about last Christmas then, cause it's infinitely more eventful. Last Christmas eve was spent in Nanjing (whoo!). I spent most of the day at the hot springs, tried spicy (REALLY spicy) duck's neck and baijiu (a Chinese style liquor I guess, with 40% alcohol), slept, then woke up at around 6am on Christmas morning with a weird feeling in my stomach, proceeded to throw up and empty my bowels in the toilet for the next two hours, then went to a clinic in Nanjing, got scolded by the middle aged lady doctor for not wearing thick enough for the weather (I did wear enough I swear!), then took the train home to Shanghai in great discomfort and spent the rest of my Christmas bedridden. Eventful huh. I even bravely went to work the next day even though I feel like I can crumble to the ground any moment. /applause please/ Heh. But I think I got to see them moving the sea turtles if I didn't get my dates wrong. Which is great. I think I even managed to pat the head of one. (I interned at the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium anyway if the above sounded weird) Up till now I still don't know if I got food poisoning or maybe the baijiu dissolved my insides. But what I know is I won't eat either duck's neck or baijiu again. Not over my dead body. The only good thing out of this is that I lost 2 kgs which I promptly gained back within the next two weeks. While this is not something I wish to experience again, I do wish I spent the holidays this year more.... eventfully. Sorry for the lack of creativity in choosing adjectives. Haha. I need some adventure in my life. Anyone willing to give me some adventure? I will give you $5 in return. HAHA.
