Because of the short-term stay in China, I have learnt to wash clothes, and cook Ba Bao Zhou (a.k.a. Eight Treasures Porridge). Having them done makes me feel proud as I never thought I could do them until trying out for the first time. Haha…like what my friends have said, being alone in a foreign place forces one to learn doing the usual domestic chores. So hopefully I can learn more things during the stay, especially learning to cook more dishes.





By the way, I discover that the local Chinese see marriage and having a child as compulsory. And that’s different from the Hong Kong, Taiwan Chinese and even Singapore Chinese think. I’m not sure about what’s the real reason behind such situation. However, I suspect it’s linked to the traditional Chinese philosophy rooted into the community, and also how the Chinese Central Government has taught their people to see marriage and children since young. Seriously, having such thoughts isn’t a bad idea as it ensures a balance of the old and young in the society, and certainly the continuity of Mankind.

However, there’re still shortcomings for such concept, which make the other Chinese to think that being single or even cohabiting can be better, rather than rushing or blindly jumping into marriage. Hmm…I think I’ll seriously stick the latter concept for the moment, till I am to find a suitable partner. This decision is more certain after watching a TVB drama serial, La Femme Desperado, which describes how difficult it is to be a woman in today’s society. So, ladies out there, take your time to find your partner. There’s no hurry for you to get settled down.

Well, I shall end it here today. And hope I’ll have more interesting contents soon to share with everyone. Cheers.
