Well, it’s not exactly abandoned, but its close enough.
Happened on the 27 of October 2007, Saturday, we went out to some tea place to watch some stuff and enjoy the tea. Well it’s like semi-interesting.
But anyway, we took bus 690 back, it was a long ride and I was sleepy, so I took an empty seat and slept. Btw some friends passed their bags to me so that I could help them hold it.
I awoke much later, definitely by the grace of God, to find out that all of my schoolmates had DISSAPEARED. And NOBODY had woken me up, for reasons I seriously dunno. WTH… Some friends they are man?
So I asked the bus lady where the dorm was, she said it was like super far away. T_T…. Then I gave a call to my teacher, and told her that I was gonna take a taxi back.
And so I ventured off, with my 3 bags, to take a taxi back to my dorm. The first taxi I tried actually couldn’t understand what I meant. Thankfully I got into the second taxi.
On the taxi I was like thinking: Why didn’t anybody wake me up? Maybe it’s because they really don’t care?.... Maybe nobody cares? If I died, who’d give a damn?
Well, thankfully there is at least one person that cares, and its God. He’s the only one that matters, so even if nobody gives a damn, I wouldn’t care either, well at least I shouldn’t.
I was actually afraid that the taxi driver might bring me to some secluded place and beat me up. Being a foreigner in such a different world like China, who knows what can happen? I send a small prayer up to heaven, praying for my safety back to the dorm.
Well what did you know, I got back safely. Well… if not I wouldn’t, and couldn’t be typing this now right? THANK THE LORD! Looking back at the ordeal, maybe there is a reason why the Lord has allowed it to happen. To show that somebody cares for me, and to allow me to give a testimony: God cares about you.
Who needs fake friends? I have the Lord!
