Today was an incredible day. For once in my life I spoke nothing but broken Mandarin the entire day, not a single word of English. Better still, the people adored me when I spoke to them in Mandarin. Got to sample food at so many stalls that I didn't need lunch. 2 Chinese girls even tested all the caps in their shop on me until I bought one chosen by them. Coolness!
It was a day of walking in this land of Casinos. I refused to take the bus. Covered every inch on the map, accessible to tourists on foot. Didn't dare to go to the Great Barrier Gate that separates Macau and China just in case some cops apprehended me and brought me into China to work on the railway tracks as a slave ;)
Since so many things hit me at one go, I realised that I had lost the motivation to do the one thing that I love the most- Sing! I forgot how to sing. I knew things were bad when I could barely mouth the words to a song which I know well, when I went to playnation with Jelvin, Andy and Waye. Today, I suddenly found myself humming and singing to myself as I hurried along the busy streets of Macau. A land in which no one knows me, behaving as I please. I miss my guitar....
Off to HongKong via ferry tomorrow morning. Thank you for guiding me thus far :)
