How does teleportation work?

Image
Good day readers! Just came back with a good spirit to share something that brought up my interest. So, has anyone ever watched Star Trek? The one starring Captain Kirk, Spock, and something something about Enterprise? Isn't it cool to travel vehicle-less like them? Hohoho this is gonna be awesome, imagine waking up everyday and not worry about getting to school, office or an event on time. What if we could go to every country on earth at any time of the day with the help of this simple method? Perhaps you're lost in the woods or trying to escape prison wth. Woudn't it be nice if you can just travel from one place to another without crossing a physical distance or if you're a prisoner, a brick wall? lol, I'm not against imprisonment though, if it's true that that person is an outlaw.  Anyway, in this modern generation, even the coolest transportation technology a.k.a cars, motorcyles, jets, aeroplanes and helicopters have it's imperfection because all of the...

CNY Fullhouse, Day 2

Was invited to an open house here in mile 7 yesterday. I am so frustrated of myself because I failed to ask whose house is that T____T. So until today, it remains unknown to me. Oh wells. As I said on my previous post, I'm only interested in watching pretty lion dances on poles lol. (actually they are called 'jongs') Well, I got my wish haha! And I didn't expect it to be so soon, it took me off guard! I know lion dances are often mistaken with dragon dances, which I can't complain since I once had that mixed up too. In comparison, I prefer lion dance cause It's less complicated but artistic. Their unique movements + emotions excites me, especially the blinking eyes and super acrobatic stunts. Lion dances are not only known for their artistic performance and entertainment. Growing up as part of a Chinese family, I have heard stories from my mum, dad, aunts, cousins, etc. that lions are regarded as a 'protector' or a guardian to drive away evil spirits. Th...

CNY Fullhouse, Day 1

Image
Hi readers! I'm literally exhausted right now. Slept at almost dawn last night with all the Mahjong players. One thing leads to another and blablabla, finally it's past 3a.m. I mean, come on it's The first day of Chinese New Year! I'm very proud to say that this year's CNY has major contrast from my 'usual' way of celebrating it. First things first - CNY is the longest holiday in China, which lasts up to 15 days whereas in urban areas it lasted only 7 days. Being 50% Chinese by no doubts, CNY thrills me in terms of tradition and customs. Trust me, there are many do's and don'ts on this special occasion that I am happy to 'follow'. When I was a kid, I wonder why CNY never falls on the same date each year. Turns out it is based on lunar and solar movements, hence the vary dates, usually on January or February. I also miss those times where my mum would tell me stories and intrigue me with those Chinese beliefs. kiddos Ok my head is temporarily ...
