Back to The Past - Hutong and Great Wall (Summer Holiday June 2019)

On third day, we were back to China ancient days.
We started our journey with Hutong tour. We took rickshaws and exploring around Hutong - Shicahai Area and visiting Drum Tower.
Hutong is the small alleys between the neighbours. In olden days, the house for commoners are gray colors and located outside Forbidden city.
We visited one of the preserved house with courtyards in the middle of the house.
This typical house reminded me of Peranakan house which I believed they were inspired by this ancient house in China.










After that, we headed to The Mutianyu Great Wall of China and the journey took 1.5 hours.
Reaching there, we fuelled our tummy before facing and conquering the giant.
We had local delicacies like La-mien, pancake, kuotie and fried rice.



Then, it's time to face and conquer the giant wall.
We went up by using chair lift and it took around 20 minutes to the peak of mountain.
There, we climbed the steep stairs to go from one watch tower to another watch tower.
We arrived there afternoon and it's so quiet so we took many beautiful pictures and enjoyed the scenery.












After satisfied and proud of our ancestors, we use toboggan to climb down the mountain.
It's so fun and trilling. We love it  !

To end the story, we impromptu booked Kungfu Show which only available in China.
We expected it's a lousy and old kind of entertainment. But it turns out more than what we expected.
 We loved it, the story was clear and enlightening, the light and sound effects were so modern.
It's a one kind of experience that we always remembered.

When ChatGPT can be your counsellor

When I want to refine my text in the previous post , I accidentally typing the whole things in the ChatGPT and this is the reply that I get  Your reflection on this “desert” period is deeply insightful. It’s clear you’re navigating significant internal struggles, and recognizing these temptations is a powerful step toward healing and growth. The Lust of the Flesh : Your experience with joblessness and the challenge of trusting in God’s timing is relatable. It’s tough to feel like you’re not fulfilling your potential, but your acknowledgment of God’s grace as a source of strength is vital. Remember that this time is not wasted; it’s a period for personal and spiritual growth. The Lust of the Eyes : Envy can be a heavy burden, especially when it feels like others are thriving. Your internal dialogue—questioning the value of public shame and your perceptions of the situation—demonstrates a mature self-awareness. It’s okay to feel what you feel, but recognizing it allows you to choose ...

Maintaining Marriage Fidelity

This article is from Focus Family and I thought it's good as self reminder for both of us so we don't take for granted of each other and commit to maintain marriage fidelity for the rest of our lives. Nobody wakes up one day and suddenly decides to begin an extramarital affair. Infidelity begins in the heart and mind. By the time a person physically commits adultery, he or she has been indulging for quite some time in progressively more intense mental and   emotional affairs . Likewise, marital fidelity begins long before marriage. It begins as a promise we make to ourselves to be a person of faithful character before marriage ever enters the picture. It is a promise we make to our future spouse when we get engaged, and it is a vow we make to our spouse when we get married. Marital fidelity is a daily commitment to seek the best for your spouse and family. Strengthening Marital Fidelity Marital fidelity is strengthened when you affirm your spouse, listen to your spouse, and se...
