July.10th, 2012——Sunday trip to metro on ebike with auntie

July.10th, 2012——Sunday
Recently I have been awaken early in the morning, but not have learned to make full use of the early start, partly because dad and mom get up early as well, making a large noise. and I suppose that's part of reason to become independent from parents and family, to create my own space. Yet I was also aware that that seems so far away as little efforts devoted so far, as suspected.
This afternoon I spent hours cleaning and tidying my room. It was all about a mess. I made phone call to Decathlon for sure of the exact price of new bathrobe. Its label shows the number of 179 but my receipt was charged as 259, that made me so confused after checking out both of their barcode. As a result, the service lady decided to return me the price difference while I could present them with the price label, the recepit, the product.
Additionally, I had taken too many the pieces of the glass. I had mistaken that one bag contains one piece of glass, and consequently I had taken 16 pieces, which was really amazing. For hours long, I had used up three bags of them and I planed to return the last bag of it.
About the supper time, younger aunt and her daughter dropped in for the second-hand flower pot. The story started with mom's proposl of importing some new flowerpots from the market and younger cousin agreeed and brought back with sisty flowerpot this early afternoon. Unfortunately, however, mom was not satisfited with the products and its price. After some negotiation, mom decided to return all the flowerpots to the salesman. mom cannot exchange for new ones coz the salesman don't have any new pots at garden.
After a while, younger cousin went to visit her friend in town and younger aunt suggest taking me to Metro Market about 10 kilos away from home by e-bike. It was such an interesting trip that we were trying to figuring out the remaining electricity along the way and we went the wrong direction according to Baidu Map, because the city was engaged to building underground metro. For a couple times we went in the non-autovehicle lane, and got stuck on the other side of the lane. We stopped by and made all efforts to remove the e-bike to the autovehicle lane. Moveover, we had turned to pass-bys one, two , three... n.... for help but didn't really work. For three quarters, we arrived at the decathlon and finished the deal in short. I showed younger aunt a favorite sports-shoe in red, but not yet included in the shopping list. After that, we went together to the park lot of IkEA and I returned the glass and took two bags of hot dog from refrigerator. And get to metro for some milk.
On the way back home, we over and over again went the wrong way and it happened funny that we went on and on and for some time, we could hardly see clearly of road head of us, was entirely black. Younger aunt suspected that it was dead road with nobody coming by according to her experience. Well, I insisted that it was due to the turbid air that prevented us from seeing the remote. Five minutes later, the e-bike came a stop all of a sudden. The road was unfortunately proved as a dead road. We went on with the removal project again. And by then I could not stop laughing at all. We went on the opposite direction and for a while, we found the way home with all the familar buildings. On the way to get on the brige, the electricity was not enough to take both us up to the brige, hence younger aunt had to pave her shoes as to generate power to the best of her ability. It was really a touching scene with a middle-age woman working hard to power the bike and eventually bringing both of them safety home. LOL
And that was about the day.
