July 24 An excursion to the Zhuhai Water ParkAfter recovering from a weary excursion to the Zhuhai Lost City by sleeping discontinuously for nearly 15 hours,ultimately I have the energy to open the OpenOffice and type a journal on the newly bought keyboard. How time flies, it has been two years since I had an excursion for a whole day with my primary school classmates last time. Yesterday,we went again together,to enjoy the funny,exciting games in the water park.
I've never been to Zhuhai before,what I saw through the bus windows didn't impress me at all,for which was somehow a scene like Kaiping. Just as Ben said,“ Cities in mainland China are about the same”.Totally we spent four and a half hours to get to the water park. It was not surprising that there were a great many of people,men and women,young and old, and shuttle buses outside the park because it was Sunday in summer vacation. Instead, to our surprise,we could hear people speaking Kaipingese everywhere.
…… It was half past twelve when we got ready to drift down the river with the lifebelts. Some of us,including me,forgot to bring the slippers. But soon we found that most of the people walking barefoot on the burning hot ground,which made me so confused. How could they bear the extreme heat without slippers as if nothing was afflicting their soles? We even couldn't stand for two seconds!So you could see several guys carrying lifebelts running and bouncing on the way from one game to another. Soon I recognized that our intention of applying sun-cream to prevent sun burn was in vain,because the flowing water could swept everything,including my spectacles. The fun of drifting could be summarized as splashing,knocking against each other and turning over others' lifebelts. No matter how cautious I was with my spectacles,finally I fell into water and failed to keep it in my hand when someone managed to turn over my lifebelt while a water column spouted over my face suddenly from right to left. Since the water was flowing and there're more and more people coming up,we couldn't find the spectacles I bought 19 hours ago. That was how my 120 yuan went away. If it happened a few years ago,surely my mum would blamed me for my carelessness,“You stupid!I've told you hundreds of time...”But I think now she'll be a listener and not take it serious. Of course, she'll remind me to be more careful next time. Maybe she has been used to my carelessness,or she thinks I'll never be clever and keen of judgement. …… The world without a pair of spectacles was blurry. I couldn't see the beautiful girls or the elegant ladies clearly in this shining day any more. Luckily I was still able to get a general impression of my surrounding. Then I followed my friends to challenge my courage here and there,joining in a queue to experience the very few seconds. We slided at different height in different ways. At last I realized what really scared us was not the games but the fear from our imagination. Every time going upstairs and getting close to the platform, spontaneously we would look down and had the idea that we might fly off into the air,although it was safe enough. Some guys didn't determine to take the risk until they saw the children and girls slide down one by one. The reason could be explained as the fact that effected by the hormone, no one wanted to be timid in front of girls. I also remembered the people were about to slide down could not be more nervous when we were yelling at them. It was mischievous,but a lot of fun,though. I felt fortunate not to follow the travel agency because people who arrived at the same time with us were told to gather by half past four in the afternoon. Instead,we didn't go to the bathhouse until six o'clock. The story was not over. After we left the water park for a couple of minutes,I found my wallet still in the strongbox. Mum reminded me it was Great Heat yesterday,did the torridity really make me dizzy? I rushed back madly,hoping that the key still on the information desk,but not in someone's hands. Sometimes when I have strange foreboding of anything unlucky,it probably happens sooner or later,which proved to be true again. I was nearly despaired when I knew the strongboxes had been rent out. Oh! My ID card,credit cards,library cards business cards and also my money...... A family were putting their belongings into strongboxes when I got there. As I expected,they claimed and in fact there was no wallet. I did believe my wallet would not disappear unless someone took it away. Luckily with the help of the clerk(actually he just stood and kept on asking “are you sure your wallet is in the strongbox?”), the master of the family gave in at the last moment. He took out a wallet from his bag,pretending he knew nothing about why the wallet was in the bag. “Is it your wallet?”.......It was the second time I managed to retrieve my wallet without any loss. Thank goodness! Tired and hungry,we catched the 7:30 bus in a hurry. My friends kept silent and napped after the light was off. I couldn't,one reason was that I didn't feel good at the rear,jolting and crowded seat, another was that a kid put his head on my left shoulder and a middle-age man on the right. Faint! Don't rely on me, please. Looking at the flashing colorful lights around the bus, I was thinking,who could give me a hand when I felt hurt? …… Anyway, it was a wonderful day,I couldn't say more. |
