taipei trip part 1

hey folks! using the internet at the hotel in taipei while my sisters are out buying some food to eat. din go cause i just showered. lol. anyway, here's an update on my trip to taipei. short one. and is only the first part of my trip. shall update the rest another day after i return back to singapore tmr nite.. lol.. post is rather long but will try to split my trip into parts so it's easier to read.. folks, enjoy my story:

day 1: 16th june, sat
woke up at 5.45 am to do last minute packing of toiletries and stuff and to get ready to take off to the airport.. was rather excited esp. this is my first time to taipei and it's been abt 5 yrs since i last took the airplane.. so lol.. journey was abt 4 1/2 hrs frm singapore to taipei so in btw, i slept on the plane and watched movies and played computer games on the SIA plane. but the computer games were not much fun... lol. reached taipei at abt 1 plus and we headed down to the hotel, City Suites, after collecting our luggage and avoiding the dog at the baggage collection area. then smth happened quite funny and it's a long story. if you wanna know, ask me and i'll tell you.. after leaving our luggage and stuff, we headed down to shilin. that was our first stop and we tot that the shilin night market was pathetic until we found the real shilin night market and from there, we bought some bracelets and earrings from there. the owner of the shop or stall was very friendly.. told us whr to go, how to get there, wad must eat and wad food is simply, so-so.. after walking till our legs were tired, we headed back to the hotel and yup, that was the end of the first day.. lol

day 2: 17th june, sun
woke up at 5 plus and the sun was already up like singapore's 9am.. and the curtains weren't drawn so yah.. but went back to sleep although i din quite sleep well.. anywae, after breakfast, headed down to church for mass before going down to xi men ding. being sunday, xi men ding was naturally crowded just like singapore's orchard road.. shopped around, had lunch and snow ice. bought a pair of jeans on the second day, a leather bracelet and i think that was it. went to wu fen pu in the evening and gotten a white cardigan which i tot was sweet. and den, went down to raohe night market and it was simply like a maze. was rather tired at the end of the day cause of all that walking.. haha..

will stop at day 2 for now. story will continue as taipei trip part 2 and at day 3. so keep coming to my blog for more updates on my trip esp. if it's hard for us to keep in touch. so yah! will update soon!! lol!! gotta go. tata. see you back in singapore in abt 23 hrs time!! :)

it's been 2 weeks since i last updated.. lol.. haha.. anywae, tests are over! finally! today was the last day of our tests and the 1st day of our holiday. went out with angeline, xiao min, jacelyn, ming li etc after the test.. went to vivo city.. had quite a lot of fun with them today.. watched shrek 3 with them and a few other gals and guys from my class.. enjoyed myself today but am now real tired. nearly fell asleep during the movie.. haha... but really enjoyed myself! thx girls for keeping me company today and sry to let you ppl come over to my hse after the test for a while. but think you all enjoyed 'invading' my hse bah? haha.. hopefully can go out again with them during the hols and pls project grp members, dun disturb me during the hols unless it's really necessary.. haha. owells.. anywae, found a new person i'm interested in.. someone from my class.. but currently dun wanna think too much about it.. afterall, i've got abt 3 more terms to get to know him better.. lol.. owells.. anywae, can't wait for my long-awaited holiday in taipei! yes! haha.. will buy things back as sovenier for angeline, xiao min, yee sin, ming li and jacelyn and mayb him bah? shall see how.. lol.. ok, gtg..

read my sister's blog. yup, she's gone for 5 months now. tears somehow welled up in my eyes as i was reading it, and you know wad? i'm currently in school. typing this. sometimes i wonder, is she listening to us? is she praying for us now that she's a step closer to God. mayb she does hear us and does pray for us. time will heal all wounds, i guess. but it won't be so soon.. well, at least for me. ok, back to lessons.

my computer's lagging.. again. argh. can't seem to blog using my account. so currently using my mum's account to do my blogging. sch seems fine now. still settling down. yes, i adapt very slowly to new changes, new environment. but frens made are fun to be with. busy week this week. projects all slowly surfacing. meeting up in school to discuss project and stuff. so rather tired this week. dunno why also as compared to the other weeks. fell sick last week. was down with high fever on wed night, slight fever on thurs. fever went down completely on last fri and was on mc that day. but the cough still doesn't seem to go awae. still coughing but seems slightly better todae after visiting the doc on wed after csa class. like dots, i'm on medication again. how nice. -.- almost half a year has come and is soon going. mum, dad and angel leaving for rome next mon. so this will practically leave me alone at home during the day when the sisters are all at work. how nice. hopefully the tears dun come back again. KC's family day is next sat. will be helping out with mum and can't wait! can like finally get to see some classmates again like berlyn, caroline and gang! hopefully tracy will go back. haven seen her for a month or so and i miss her lotsa. as in back at those days, she was the one who would go crazy and we would yak away on 56. but now? hardly tok to her. either she's busy or i'm busy. so really hoping to see her back at KC. of course, looking forward to see others too! hoping they'll go back that day! haha. ok, time to move on and get my research done for my comm skills in-class assignment.

the tears have somehow stopped. but i'm still feeling scared, uneasy, insecure and stressed. scared, uneasy and insecure by the various things taking place and stressed by the online lecture notes and stuff. but all in all, i'm still slowly adapting. i still need time. everyday when i go to school, smses will be sent to my sisters and my mum. so i guess i still can sae, i'm still not exactly looking forward to school. but den again, school so far has been more or less quite interesting. ok, yes, i'm contradicting myself. hopefully tmr will be ok esp. when mum leaves home to go to school. after this week, i'm just hoping mum dun go to school on wed then i'll be fine. then again, mum has to be in school early on thurs and fri so chances is, she'll leave the hse earlier than me, leaving me to lock up or we leave the same time. of course, i'm hoping to leave the same time then i wun think too much. i mean, everytime for these few days, each time i'm alone at home, i tend to think too much. so just hoping that after a few more weeks, things will just get better for me. owells...

i've been crying over the last few days. as a result, my eyes are all a little red and swollen. reason being, poly has started. i'm so scared. although this week only has lectures, but it still scares me. i'm so scared i can't cope with tutorials and with project and group work. i'm so scared i can't fit in. i'm so scared of everything. i'm trying my best to not cry everyday and at least look forward to school. but wad's happening is however the opposite. i cry everyday and instead of looking forward to school, i'm looking forward to lessons ending and being able to go home. hopefully with time, this will all be the opposites. today so happen to be my one and only free day for this week. no lab class. ever since my aunt left us, i've been closer to my family members. as a result, i'm being homesick each time i go to school. tmr's thursdae. lesson in the morning till afternoon 2 pm with an hr break in btw so mayb it wun be too bad except when i'm gg to sch. but i can't say about fri. when i come home and shower after my 1st lesson during the 3 hr break, my mum leaves the hse and i'm left alone at home again till 1 plus. and then i'm back at school. haiz.. this is just scaring me and giving me a lot of stress. hopefully things get better.

during my orientation, i was badly homesick.. it was just so bad till i nearly wanted to cry.. just sort of missed home.. afterall, 5 mths since i haven attended school so guess will just have to slowly adapt to sch life again.. takes time, i guess.. made some new friends esp. those from my class.. real nice people but maybe cause i'm not close to them yet, i find it hard to talk to them but time... anywae, if anyone has a remedy for homesickness, pls tell me! i'll need to cure my homesickness fast! haha.. timetable wise, isn't much of a hectic.. still quite manageable.. but cause it's week 1, no tutorials only lectures so next week, mon to wed, i only go to sch in the afternoon for 2 hrs a day.. so mayb it wun be that bad but the later the lessons, the more i dun feel like gg at all.. but when the tutorials come in, i guess it wun be that bad lah.. as for thurs and fri, lessons till 2p.m for thurs and 4 p.m for fri.. so actually, more or less, i'll still be able to watch some of my fave shows so i doubt it'll be that bad.. will update again when sch proper starts..

my computer's lagging badly or is the system just getting on my nerves?? took so long just to load a page.. blogger got me irritated the last few days.. argh! anywae, was out with the girls on saturdae.. had fun with them doing shopping.. they got what they wanted and i got what i wanted so it was quite enjoyable! well, partly cause this would be the last time out shopping together esp. now that they've started poly and the next time out would be ages later... so was overall happy with my gain that afternoon.. met up for dinner with my dear long sisters and little cousin.. tired sort of overtook me and i was a little irritated with my cousin that evening for a little little while.. i become easily irritated if i'm out the whole day without any rest. hopefully it just gets better when school starts on monday officially... owells.. orientation's tmr.. not very enthusiastic about it but would love it if i get my timetable tmr.. den i can pon half a day on fridae.. yes, me poning orientation when i've never poned sec school b4.. haha.. it's so... unbelievable.. of course, plans to pon school will only be confirmed after tmr and on friday.. things will have to depend on how the orientation goes tmr.. if it's fun and enjoyable, den mayb i wun pon afterall.. if not, heehee.. i'll come home and sleep.. guess will be rather tired tmr.. owells.. actually i'm both excited and nervous when school starts.. after all that holiday-ing, it's time to get down to serious business and i'm gonna work real hard for the next 3 years.. hopefully there's still a chance for me to go university to get a degree.. lol.. a degree is better than a diploma so since i can, why not work hard and hopefully end up in the uni??? wun that be better?? and also, i dun wanna waste mum's money.. so yup, it just all boils down to one thing: work hard! lol... hopefully i'll make new friends tmr and enjoy myself and dun think abt *****... haha... :p

blogging time!! haha.. anywae, was at home the whole day after applying for my ez-link card at bedok interchange.. after 4 years, it's time for a new ez-link card with a new picture.. went back to KC yesterdae... as i was walking to the needle-work room, i started thinking about how we used to have lessons in class, the noisy corridors after recess, how we would laugh at teachers and their jokes and stuff.. really missed those laughter and joy we had in class.. i think before poly starts, these would be the days that i would miss.. afterall, KC could be considered as my 2nd home since i spent most of my time in school and with friends.. so naturally, i would miss everything. had a talk with my ex-form teacher as well.. wanted to play a small "joke" on her.. but din quite work out.. but she still rmbs all of us.. i think even if i lost contact with the juniors of CO, i'll still go back to KC and visit those teachers, provided they're still teaching.. haha.. owells.. the next time i go looking for teachers, will be when i go back to school to collect my year book and my GCE 'O' level cert, bah? haha.. i think i'll arrange a time with hui yee and clair and we'll go back together.. really missed my two dear partners!! haha... owells... shan't blog further.. :)
P.S: hey, am i such a funky god-sis to you?? you know who you are.. haha!

it's almost close to a week since i got my contacts and during this close to one week, i only wore my contacts once... actually i sort of regretted getting contacts done.. mayb because i'm at home most of the time just before poly starts and since i'm at home, i hardly touched my contacts. but come to think of it, i got my contacts only for special occasions like.. christmas? family photo shoots and mayb only during cny? hopefully when poly starts, i'll wear my contacts more often but yet at the tot of having to wash my contacts, put in and take out my contacts just puts me off.. guess i'm really not used to having a pair of invisible specs around and having to wear them. mayb it's just the experience, i guess? but somehow or another, i feel ok with the contacts on but in another undescribable way, i'm uncomfortable with it. really think i'm not used to it.. ok, this sort of concludes another consequence of my reckless thinking. owells...

I've gotten my contact lenses!! :D haha.. went to make my contacts yesterdae but somehow or another, i wasn't able to get the lenses in.. my eyes were red like a blood vessel just burst in my eye.. it was red so linda jie(my optician) suggested i come back another day to try putting the lenses in.. so i din think much about going down again today to do until tracy smsed me last nite to see if i can accompany her to look for a lap-top. so i suggested thomson den i can try and get my contacts into my eye.. and you know wad? i got both contacts in faster than yesterdae.. took about an hr as compared to the wasted 2 hrs at the optician, and couldn't even get it in.. so yes, i've got my contacts! haha. oh, and i told tracy that the girl who helped me today, cause linda jie was not around todae, looked like the default R&B grp's zaizai. she is so look-alike lah.. haha.. and of course, my dear friend, tracy, agreed.. haha.. really enjoyed today's outing although i was a bit sian of going down to thomson again and i was tired from yesterdae. so yah.. hopefully we can get to go out again just before the both of us start school. as for tmr, there's piano in the morning and stations of the cross with the IBG grp at St Joseph's tmr nite. was thinking of going down to TM to get my phone fixed.. hopefully i'll make a trip down.

do a quick post now before mum gets back on the computer.. supposedly a busy week but it seems slightly better.. supposed to be out today with the girls but cancelled it due to some reasons.. tmr there's my medical check-up in the afternoon(and mum is coming with me...:p) followed by grandpa's birthday celebration dinner at night at his house.. thursday will be out the whole day again i guess.. making my way to thomson plaza to get my contacts done(hopefully i can wear them despite my bad eyesight...) and then lunch with mum.. think we're going out after that but it's not confirmed.. and i'm free today and friday.. haha.. do i seem that busy??

anywae, i'm suddenly so obsessed with another cute guy but this time round, it's not a taiwanese guy but a hong-konger.. haha.. i think he's quite cute(p.s he looks a little like wu zun) and shuai.. but his shuai-ness is different from shaowei and xiezhi.. can't quite explain.. guess it's the feeling bah?? but i think towards this cute guy, it's just a 3-minute hotness.. haha.. well who knows?? but i just think he's cute and shuai.. :) haha.. ok, got to go.. will update soon..!! :D

rite.. my medical exam is next wed.. and guess wad? i just found out that i need to do a blood test which means poking a needle into my skin.. oh shitty.. i cry at the tot of having to take an injection wad more a blood test.. luckily mum is willing to come with me.. argh.. can't believe it.. i've got low blood count , resulting in giddyness, and they still want to take my blood!! *starts whining* hopefully all will be fine and mum will stay with me till the end of my medical exam.. huh huh huh......

the week just come and go just like that! it's amazing how fast the days just fly pass us.. in 2 weeks' time or so, we're into the 4th month of the year! it's just so fast and yes, i'm starting school on 23rd April.. but orientation for me is on the 19th and 20th.. that is of course compulsory cause timetable and other school matters will be given out during the 2 days of orientation.. hopefully i dun have to report to school from monday to fridae.. haha... ok, it's just an excuse for me to just being.. pure lazy.. haha.. the past week wasn't as busy as i expected it to be.. as for this coming week, it's the week where i settle my poly enrolment matters.. will be having a medical exam this week(hopefully on tues, if i can make an appointment that day...) and i'm quite scared.. cause i've never ever done a medical exam before so this is my first.. and also partly cause, my holiday is slowly coming to a close and i'm so scared to being back in school where the environment is new, the friends are new.. almost everything is new but i know i'll manage to adapt back to life and i'll have fun with my new friends.. oh and i just realised i've been rather clingy to my family members especially to my mum.. mayb it's because after that incident, i've discovered and realised how precious and unpredictable life is and i've learnt to cherish those around me especially my family members.. so mayb that's the reason why i'm rather clingy.. owells.. it just takes time and i think if i can't get used to poly life, this could just be one of the reasons, could it??

omg!! saw a news online abt shaowei and xiezhi.. haha.. the producers of a show was supposedly choosing a male lead for a new taiwan idol drama.. they originally started with zhu xiao tian followed by shaowei! and then xiezhi! but unfortunately, here comes along ah du who "stole" the role from xiezhi if not, i think xiezhi would have ended up with the role.. haha.. but afterall, zhu xiao tian still sort of lost to 56 bah?? haha... owells...
this may be my fault but i dun feel that i'm in the wrong to pursue my own happiness...

yo! it's the march hols again although it makes not much of a diff to me since i'm still on vacation for another mth or so.. haha.. once again, i'm slacking at home but not alone, with my sis of course (but she's got work to do...) this week seems to be a busy week for my mum and my sis.. mum's out tmr, angel's out on wed, we're all home on thurs with little gabi and out to make passport on fri.. as for me, i may be gg out on wed.. but that will have to depend on hui yee and tracy.. owells.. if i'm gonna go shopping for a few clothings, my pocket will be burnt for sure.. and adding on to that, i just got myself a new pair of shoes.. gosh, will the amount in my bank account decrease again like nobody's business?? it wun if i control my finance... was thinking about some things last nite.. isn't life funny? we may be close to a friend but when it's time for parting, we seem to drift further awae when the friendship between others can yet remain close or even closer than before.. sometimes, i can yes understand that life is now different for all of us, but would that just mean that we'll lose contact with each other? mayb for some, we'll still hang out with each other and stuff but wad about others? wad about the promises we made to each other about being friends forever and not 4getting each other? sometimes i just feel it's all a pretence.. from me and from you.. a mere pretence that can be forgotten when we part.. if you're busy, i can understand.. but if you're not, and you're just ignoring my messages and avoiding me, then i guess you may be a true friend to others but not to me.. den mayb, our friendship wun last long cause you sometimes make me feel like i'm a substitute for others.. when your frens are busy and have no time to listen to you, you call and expect me to put aside wadeva i'm doing and listen to you.. yet when i call and hoping to get a listening ear, you seem to be busy with other things that are may be least important.. is that wad our friendship is worth? if you think our friendship is not worth a single thing and is worthless and useless, den i guess mayb this is just simply the end to our friendship..
P.S: this post is not referring to anyone and is just simply a small reflection on some of my frens whom i've seemed to have lost contact with..

back to work for 2 days.. today was the 1st day.. luckily got company otherwise i doubt i'll still be back working.. haha... feeling tired liao.. mayb i've not adjusted back yet to waking up early in the morning but i think i'll get used to it soon since i'll be back to school in a month's time.. thank goodness tmr's the last day den i wun have to go back in again.. not that i dun like the job but there's no company there so like yah.. and cause i've got company, although time seems to pass slowly, yet i'm not lonely.. thanks girl, you know who you are.. thx for the company and laughing you've gave me to kill the boring workload.. you're a gr8 help in making my day less boring.. haha.. anywae, i'll update sometime again.. my eyes are really drain out.. haha.. hopefully i can finish up my work and knock off early tmr like today.. :)

i've finished watching my vcd that i happily bought last week.. and i have to say i'm quite happy with the ending although i sort of expected how the story would end as in storyline wise and not who end up with who.. so yah.. but i've got smth bad to say.. i'm suffering from post-shaowei symptoms.. haha.. it's quite bad as compared to AQMFS.. haha.. but it's just because he's too shuai.. can't help it! the shaowei-craze came back lor.. haha.. and i just found out that my mum's fren's daughter is working for the magazine company, teenage.. so i was just thinking to myself, how nice if me and tracy can see 56 thru her.. although it wun be fair to others and again, i'm not very close to her so like yah... haha.. owells.. i'm just hoping to see shaowei and xiezhi asap.. haha.. and the post-shaowei symptoms will last for a few days i guess.. haha.. owells.. anywae, posting results will be out on tues.. hopefully i get to be accepted with li ting in the same course.. den at least in a wae or another, i've got company.. haha...

right, here's another post.. decided to blog despite being tired from a day of excitement to me..
headed out in the morning with mum and cousin, gabi, but i went to the bank to run some errands before meeting mum at bedok interchange.. went to buono vista, MOE, for my home econs teaching scheme interview.. was quite nervous and i think i sort of just screwed it up with my answers although tracy din think so.. well, hope everything goes well... will still have to make a final choice next week when i get my JAE posting and my interview results.. hopefully i'll make the right choice with His guidance.. after that, went to orchard to collect grandpa's medicine and fixed his watch although it was a wasted trip to seiko.. mum decided to get grandpa a new watch with contributions from her 4 daughters as a birthday gift for grandpa.. after that, we headed down to taka for lunch and did a bit of window shopping and buying since there was the post-CNY sale at S&K... so i joyfully and happily got myself a pair of jeans, a skirt and a shirt.. got angel a nice blouse which i tot was indeed quite nice and very angel(if you know wad i mean).. haha.. made mum spent a bomb today i guess! lunch was on her plus the clothings.. so obviously she spent close to a hundred today.. heehee.. after that, we came back home.. was rather tired after my shower so watched my vcd after talking to tracy.. was a bit "grouchy" with the phone calls and me having to answer them esp. when i'm so dead tired.. but i shan't blame the callers.. haha.. owells.. guess that's about it for today.. will blog again some other time.. haha... i truly enjoyed myself today cause it was a day with my dear mummy!! (and i hardly get to go out with her alone...) haha..
