if i could. i would have rolled my eyes a million times.

but of course no. thats not the stand im ever taking. even if i felt that way.
now thinking back, the escape was quite a good idea. tgth with the one sliding outta reality. but i guess the more experience we get stuck there the worse it gets when we come outta it.

we gotta do somth abt it before the sad part takes over our lives yah..

so could i still force a smile and say everything's alrite?

sorry this post is just a emo rant.i also need this sometimes. and also, to test out how the new blogger beta works actually.. but its like the same.. oh well.

perhaps its time for an update.
taiwan came and went as quickly as malacca swept past bluntly

perhaps its time for a look in the different direction
perhaps a time for old friends and pals to have a reunion and once again go back to the green pastures where the once overwhelming cow dung is now actually disappearing
i seriously dont mind, maybe now i will have the time.

many things make me go.. 'ah.. interesting', perhaps due to my limited vocab or whatsoever, but seriously somethings just fails to surprise me anymore. if only we had put a little more thought into it? no... maybe its just good.. life should ultimately still be lived with meticulous care and moderation. the question remains.. was it all part of growing up? haha... perhaps now i can really follow duckhead and say the same things to my kids

jus quite back to the tired periods? after having ogl workshops for 2 days straight immediately after coming back from malacca isnt something really you would look forward to. but i guessed it was overcome with valuable joy in it.

my boo? i wont forget even if i tried.

ahh.. dun geddit? fine. im just so tired n random now.


Friday, December 01, 2006

k fine i shall update. lol
if u have been wondering why i disappeared for so long
i was overseas in taiwan in case u didnt noe haha.
anw to prevent my failing memory frm forgetting where i visited
i decided to keep a record here by blogging day by day of my trip

day 1. watched cars and trick 2 on the plane before arriving in taipei. stepped out to my horror to realise its so hot even though they r supposed to be having winter lol. like 26-28 deg?! lol. coz of global warming they say.. delayed winter. anw. checked into hotel n all.. took taxi to wufenpu. some old shopping area. nth interesting. took taxi to taipei 101. nice place.. new n class. but the weather's bad so didnt take the lift up to the highest floor to see the city view

day 2. met up with my dad's fren here in taiwan..uncle sam and his wife..realy hospitable ppl.. rly nice.. they drove us ard in a car they borrowed. first stop we drove across the northern edge of taiwan.. along the sea line.. then into this mountain region called jiufen or somth. sells alot of nice food haha.. but it was climbing stairs the whole time. pretty tiring.. then we headed for another scenic mountain region where a buddhist society resides.. wow they have rly high ranking nuns n monks there.. sat down n spoke to some of them.. coz uncle sam n his wife does freq volunteer work there so they know each other well. one of the high ranked nuns asked me abt life n singapore n such n we somehow came to the topic of choir n wcg. lol. anw i rmb the first thing i heard when i stepped into the place was the om mani padme song playing in the bg..hmms. haha

day 3. woke up early in the morning to catch a train to jiayi state. oh the entire train's only passengers was my family lol. thats when i rehearsed natsu ga kita in one carriage whilst my parents were karaokaying in another. yes they have a carriage jus for it. and then took out my laptop n watched bleach.. til we reached.. 3.5 hrs later. haha it was rly smooth n comfortable though. had our lunch in jiayi then took another smaller train up the famous mt of alishan lol. the train has a v interesting way of gg up and sometimes it gets rly rocky n scary ahha but tts the whole pt. u gt to exp it urself. cant describe. anw. when we reached the top where my next hotel is its alr dark. in winter the sun sets at 4pm. oh well. but there's a gd thing there. it was ard 10 deg! hahah...

day 4. woke up super duper early like 4.30am. to prepare to see the sunrise.. hired this minivan to drive us to some unobstructed spot ard the mountain regions.. it was 6 deg at tt time.. haha. nice! and woohoo we gt to see the sunrise though it was freaking fast.. like 5 seconds n it hid back in the clouds haha.. the rest of the day was jus spent walking ard looking at gigantic trees tt were supposedly sacred. afternoon we took another minivan down to another small town called fenchihu. oh well tt place. they r famous for this sole thing called bian dang. some packed lunch thingy. other than the fireflies we saw in total pitch darkness at nite.. if u ask me i wud say tt place is not most unattractive tourist attraction ever.

day 5. forgot wad i did in the morning here. see tts how impressionable this town has on me. oh well. all i rmb was tt we hired another minivan to drive us down the mountain.. oh n in the van someth v interesting happened. it was a jap indulging time! lol.. ppl who were smsing me then wud noe i mean lol. and then we took the same first class train thingy back to taipei. once again the whole train was ours =/. reached taipei ard nite time so jus ate some macs and slept. lol

OMG. hahahaha. jus too mesmorised by the gigantic poster itself.. o.O lol. other than tt. i forgot wad happened later on hahaha. i think i bought my pitch pipe ard this day too lol.

day 7. woke up super early again to catch yet the same type of train to hualian state. and once again yet another minivan was waiting there to fetch us on this little tour.. first stop was its 'beach'. technically it isnt a beach coz there's no sand.. instead its filled with small fine super nice stones n pebbles.. oh n the waves was strong. though nth much n we only spent 1/2 hr there, it was the most memorable thing i did. the setting.. so beautifully emo ahahha. had lunch at some exotic restaurant nearby n went off to taroko gorge. ahha its nice but im sure grand canyon owns it hands down. by the time we finished these tours n reached the third hotel.. it was nite time haha. OMG but tts the best part of the day. the hotel we stayed in there.. farglory bellevista.. its super nice!!!!! and super ex i realised. no wonder we stayed there only one nite haha. its one of the nicest hotel i have seen so far on a worldwide scale.

day 8.
woke up and took a bus down to the haiyang gong yuan below.. some theme park owned by the hotel's management lol. ahha relive my times of disneyland.. sat almost all the rides.. watched interesting performances.. those tt remind me of aggie doing chachambo in feather blowers LOL. haha.. headed back to hotel to check out and took the evening train back to taipei. as much as we love the hotel, we had to leave coz there's nth much else to do n it will cost more than a bomb lol. but anw i rmb buying tt muachi as souvenir back ahha. reached taipei at 9 plus checked in back to the same hotel and learnt abit of natsu ga kita.. see i so hardworking ahhaha.
