as usual, the cocks went off at 3plus -_- stupid la! morning as usual everyone woke up at 6plus cos we were going to a place call 清水源 to 拜拜. breakfast was the same things as day 2, thou i think the soya milk was a little more milky and powdery so i dare not drink lor. anyways, waited a while for the vans to come and set off lo! oh, the van drivers were also of the same surname 'ng' and they live very near the house too. i found out later that all the people there were of the same surname. so its one whole area clustered of the same surname de ppl. anyway, the kids were tired before heading off,
i think its quite obvious cos they haf been waking up at 5 or 6 am for days le.
anyways, once again, we went onboard the 'safe' van. haha! at least he was nice enough to say that the car there de quality not as good so have to off the air-con when going uphill. off we went! in the way, we say the rail-train. it looks really old and its more like a cargo kind of 'cho-cho-train' lor. and its really... looonnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggg!!!!!!!! but the speed of the train was quite fast la, so i din manage to capture a pic of it.
anyway, 清水源 was located on the top of a very tall mountain.
lucky we din haf 2 climb or else we could never have reached the top! haha! as promised, the air-con was offed. but it was ok la, cos the day was cooling. the mountain road was very sttep and curvy lor. its a bit scary la. its like the road where you cab up to Genting, juz that this in China has to road-side barrier so u noe, u fear when you'll fall. this pic is so lucky tat it was a small white sting as a barrier
haha! and along there way, we say that the ppl really noe how to make full use of land space man! as long as there is a little bit of space they'll grow tea le.
once there, all cameras was out to take picture of the super beautiful scenery!
the air there was really very very cooling! we tot tat was it. in the end, we continue to hike up a flight of stairs la!
we still had to shout 加油 to my little 4 year old niece. haha! tat lazy girl juz refuse to walk on her own -_- after the stiars, there was more platformed uphill road and a bit more stairs la. we had to was our hand before going into the temple too.
from a far away distance, we heard a lot of fire-crackers being lit off le. the sound was juz so loud! cos the fire-crackers used there were of enormous size de la!
so all the kids din went into the temple, and i sat with them somewhere outside cos i cannot take the inscence smell, keep sneezing!
after a while, when all the praying was done, everyone came back out and we ate the fruits tat was offered to the god. the fruits cos its extremely fresh, so its more of sour than sweet la. but every still ate. got apples, grapes, oranges and pears.
after which, we climb a flight of stairs down-hill again. we took a different path down. t
hen back to the van and off for lunch. the trip down-hill was different from the one we went uphill. lunch de food was ok la, cos i preferred the previous night de dinner. the lunch place de environment was ok de la. a bit bit dirty thou. then the 'danger' drive kept coming into our room to give us drink and to teach us how to eat the food they serve.
after that we went to our ancestor's house which has been there for years and years and years.
but i think they did some renovation for it. we took a big family photo there.
the van driver din really noe how 2 use my camera, lucky another drive noe. haha! the door was locked so i could only take photos of the inside from the outside.
then it was home sweet home for me and the kids. cos the adults wanna go shopping so i stay in to look after the kids and make them take afternoon naps lor. while they napped, i study my econs and took some pictures of the kids who live there de.
the adults came home a bit later and we were off to another uncle's house and dinner.
the uncle's house is really, hmm, quite worn out? its totally bricks and cement only. its more of like a soiled floor and there was only a very very small tea table, and no chairs INITIALLY. somehow, the drives and brothers were very so use to the house that they went to take out the chars for us. it wa those olden days wooden bench that my aunt say i wun noe how 2 sit de. but it was ok lehz. their cupboards had no doors thou. 
tea as usual, 
made by the 3rd brother again. my niece was really observing hard how 2 make the tea. haha! the house opposite the uncle's house had a metal roof, that was held down by bricks. 
so i can imagine the roof flying away if the bricks were not there. lol. we stayed only for a while and it was dinner time.
dinner for once, i should say its really horrible! they serve rabbit meat, eel and beef lor! when none of us can eat the above lor -_- in the end my mum puked. imagine 3 days of pork for every meal lehz! so bad tat the smell got us on our nerves le. after dinner, went home le. did not go anywhere special.
once home, we started to wash our clothes. since it was the last day there, as in at my relatives house. we were going to the xia men city the next day. there was seriously a lot of clothes. the washing machine was quite old, those u see 10 years ago type, and their washing board was cement and was fixed in the sink de
.
wash wash wash, but we still went back down to the corridor to haf a last night of chit-chatting session
and tea session at the house. i join them that night. my cousin and niece saw brooms and they start sweeping the floor
i see my 2 nieces 'perform' teacher and everyone had a good laugh.
i was in a different mood that night during the chit-chat session. somehow, i was feeling a little sad. afterall, it will be our last night at the house le. we will still see the brothers (1st and 3rd brother joining us in the city, 2nd brother coming to see us off), but we'll never see the ladies again. they were to stay at home to do the chores le.
