The other day I went mount. climbing at Shao Lin temple(umm..I meant the mountain nearby/beside the temple. Not climbing mount. in the temple). So my parents, my third aunt and I followed a trail of stairs up the mountain. Actually there is this thing called the cable car, but my very stubborn father insist that we walk up the trail. He said that we were there to excercise and if we take the cable car, then there is no point in mount. climbing. Well, I guess he's right. Actually it is more worth it to walk(or climb stairs you say) because you can really see how is it like inside the mountain. It is something like the forest. The sceneries are really nice. There are like trees of wierd shapes that make the mount. look creepy. Especially in winter, when all the leaves fall, you can see how the tree branches twine and curl.
This is us climbing.
A SMALL part of the trail. At first I wanted to take the trail alone, so I waited behind for everyone to disappear first, but then there is this idiot who suddenly appeared from on top. So he ended up in the pic-.-
sceneries...nothing to elaborate on. It's just mountain.
That's me!
Another scenery....
Trees...What amazes me is that they all grow slanted to one side.
another scenery...I like the orangy leaves.
This is the last scenary I'm going to show you. And this is the most creepy one. Feels like a cemetry...
Okay, I forgot to mention, the purpose of us climbing the mountain, is to get to the middle of another mountain. And that mountain we were trying to get to is really high and steep.It's really scary to walk the trail. It feels like you are gonna fall.
This is our destination of mountain climbing. You'll know I tried to hug the rock so tightly and won't let go.
Because I didn't want to fall off the mountain! See the background of the pic below, you'll find a small trail hanging in mid-air. That was where I hugged the rock. Just now that rock appears so big, but it is only a SMALL rock.
That's about the mount climbing. After that we went to ShaoLin templeto see some kongfu. “快使用双节棍哼哼哈兮!”
That's the only photo Ihave. I've got to borrow my mother's cam. So I'll show you more kongfu next time. It's really amazing...

Yoyo! Today I went to this kinda community centre like place and signed up for basketball training. The coach was an ex-coach from the national team.So I guess the training's gonna be hard.
There's two classes. One for children(12 and below) and one for teenagers(that's for me). But then the second class is only three times per week and I'm only staying in China for 3 weeks so the max no of traing I get is about 9 days. Then you have to minus off the raining days that you can't train. Bear in mind that this is China and it is winter down here. In Singapore, even if it rains you still can train. But it is like 10 degrees celsius down here.If it rain, it will be like freezing cold~brr~ So it is not worth it. Therefore--- my mum decided that I should join BOTH classes ! Because for the junior class, training is every day including weekends. So I'll join the kids from Mon to Thurs, and ppl of my age from Fri to Sun. But the junior training is already very hard leh!The eleven years old kids have to run
25 rounds around the bball court. 25 leh! Then if I am 14, then I'll have to run.....OMG!!! Anyway, I am starting training tomorrow.So wish me good luck!
