Fulfilling Saturday

I spent an enjoyable Saturday with my college classmate. It was a rewarding and fulfilling Saturday. I didn't plan to write a journal, but after reading a famous remark by Francis Bacon, I decided to note down the journal.
Reading maketh a full man; Conference, a ready man; Writing, an exact man.
I got up at about 7:30 AM. Saturday is the laundry day. I have to wash all the clothes that has been gathered. After a simple breakfast, I did the laundry. Luckily, there weren't that much clothes to wash. Its was already 10:30. I receive a phone call from my college students asking if we are ready to climb the mountain. I am happy to be invited to the outdoor activity. It was a sunny day. Why not, I won't waste time in the dorm. 

After lunch, I get on the bus to the destination. We met there and head to the mountain. It is about 448 meters' high. Not very high. But it turned out that it is hard to reach the top. Very tiring! 

We began to climb the mountain at about 2:00 PM and finished climbing at about 5:00 PM. As I had said, it is very tiring! My muscle aches the next day. Anyway, I haven't climbed any mountain for almost one year. However during climbing, it was pleasing.
Mountain climbing is all about physical exercise and relaxed mood. I bought we two sticks of sugarcoated haws. Sweet and a little bit sour. Just delicious.

Pork Shashlik

Upon reaching the top of the mountain, we both felt hungry. So we shared some pork shashlik. It is rewarding, the scenery on the top of the mountain was gorgeous. It is already late, and the sun was red and warm.

Well fed, we were backing to the foot of the mountain. Well, we feel extremely hungry reaching the foot of the mountain. So we find some small restaurant to eat. We spent much time finding a place time to eat.

The most amazing was about to happen. We were planing to watch a movie. Much discussion, We finally decide on a new movie - Rise of the Guardians. I have to admit that this movie is a little bit like The Avengers. But it got its peculiarity - 3D. The ticket is a bit expensive. It cost me 120 RMB.

I love this movie though the plot is pretty simple and nothing novelty. Maybe it is more like a cartoon. I will draw the poster with my pencils this weekend, if possible.
