It was bright sunny summer day, the perfect desirable whether for any family trip. But not me, as I kid I hated family activities, it was like torture method 2.0. And here we were driving on the sea to sky highway for our return trip from whistler, and my child patience level has long reached a melting point, well it kind of reached it since we left the hotel back in Richmond...
"How long until we get home? I am so bored!" I said in mandarin, as the rest of conversation is in mandarin as well. And to go with my sentence, I crossed my arms grumpily and kicked my feet impatiently in back seat.
"Don't disturb your daddy, he's driving." My mom turned and said from the passenger seat.
"I am so bored! There is no wifi! And you took away my phone-"
"We made a rule that you can't play your phone on the car. It damages your eyes..."
"I know! You're so annoying!" I shouted, then wiggled in my seat, in typical spoiled child behaviour. "Then what can I do?"
"You can look outside the window at the view, look there's people in the sky there!" My mom exclaimed.
I looked out the window at once and saw several people paragliding, with ropes tied to the boats below.
"Woah!" I howled like a kid.
"Look there is even more below!" my mom encouraged.
I leaned forward to get a look, and just then I nasty air babbling sound came from the front seat.
"Honey!" My mom yelled.
"I swear it wasn't me!" My dad protested weakly.
"Open the window at once!" my mom commanded, and my dad obediently did so.
Once opened, the poisonous gas inside was meditated by the cold fresh air of outside. And with a sense of surge of freedom, I peeked my head outside and bathed my head in the cool breeze, and also trying to get a better look of the para gliders below.
"Raymond! Pull your head back!" My mom barked.
"Fine..." I hastily did so, but right after I pulled my head back, I reached my hand outside again as a little act of rebellion.
"Raymond, pull your hand back. It's dangerous." My mom said half seriously.
"No! Unless you give me back my phone first!" I said with a smug look.
"Raymond, pull your hand back right now or..."
"Nope! Give me back my phone first!"
"Raymond!"
"No! Phone first!"
"Ray-"
A great mighty force swept by, and for a brief moment I couldn't feel anything from my right half. My mom seemed to screamed, but I couldn't hear it. As I quickly found myself descending into darkness once again...

"Master..." a vague voice reached out to me.
And too response, I slowly pried open my eyes.
"Master!" Enju popped up from my fake arm, her voice more impatient this time.
"Yes?" I rubbed my head roughly.
"Quick! We are going to be late!"
And that's when I remember I had my new guild meet up that day...
"What time is it?" I yawned.
"It's almost 1 pm master! Quick, we're going to be late!"
Knowing I got no time for anything else, I quickly went ran to washroom and emptied my bladder and threw on my [Crown]. Yep, no breakfast, no brushing teeth what so ever.
"Ok..." I breathed out deeply as I lied down again and closed my eyes.
Come on come on...
I pressed the power button at the bottom of the gaming helmet.
10 seconds later, my world turned white.
Q: Do you prefer family trips or stay at home?
