Random Updates, once again.

Fall in love w a song while walking home just now. Its one out of 50 over French songs that i'd been listening to over the past few months. And this is one song which i'd deftnly been hearing repeatedly but emotionlessly. But just now, while walking home frm the train station, i fall for the tune. JustLikeThat. -Listen to it in my playlist.

Last saturday, during my tuition, my ex-mentee (now graduated) dropped me a sms.

Here it goes..

'Jie!!i.did.it!! Hahhs...i.get.top.math.in.my.n.lvl!!Damn.happy!I.nw.in.riverside.ltr.will.b.recivin.prize! ........(n other words of thanks..)'

well, my reaction as i read it was 'wow' and i told my tutee with near tears in my eyes. I was so 'gan tong' by her sms and amazed that she did it.

Recently, i dread going out. Esp during the wkend, unless for monetary benefits. I just wanna be at home, laze around. Hang out with Darcy. Take afternoon naps. Bascially, just rot and rot and rot AT HOME. I even find watching movies a waste of time. I rather watch online. Damn.. i feel like a 'zai nue'. I wonder how long this will last.

Cant wait for friday to come. Den i will be able to do just tt. At a place out of singapore.. which reminds me of a conversation i had with one of my tutee's mum yesterday.

The story goes like this..
Monday:I'm suppose to have 2 tuitions on sat and since fri is a P.H, i requested for a change in date for both and both student agreed. But half a day later, my 2nd student suddenly asked to change back to sat and i told her i cannot make it as i'd make other appointment already. She asked for fri morning but my 1st student didnt want to change. So i told her cant. Only fri noon.

On Tuesday, 2nd student's mum called.
Tutee's Mum: How come you cannot make it for this saturday?
Me: Cause i'd make other appointments already.
Tutee's Mum: Really cannot ar?
Me: Ya. Cause i wont be in Singapore.
T.M: Where will you be going?
Me: .. Sentosa.. (-_-!!)

But thats the truth wat..... N i dun want to lie to her thou i easily can. But i choose not to. Just that, now,i suspect that she suspect that i fail my geography. hmmm...

Back in action aft MIA for 15 days..

Reach SG at close to 12am last nite.. Went to pick up Darcy at 7plus this morning. He looks happy to see me..

I slept frm 3-7am, 8-1pm, 2-4pm. Now i'm wondering how i'm going to sleep tonite.

Darcy is like a shadow. Just tt he likes to make his presence known by walking real close to me. N for once he didnt disturb me when i sleep. Nice.

Uploading the picts now. Wonder hw many i will have. Thinking if i shld go for my class today. So lazy..

Summary for the trip

Day 1-6: Taipei
Its hardly enough for shopping considering tt we took a day trip to YangMingShan+ Keelung+ DanShuai. Mr Lee was our driver and he was really really good. I strongly reccomend him. Anyone needs his contact let me know. His rate is NT4500 for 8hrs for a 9 seater van to the 3 places. But he kept telling us its alright if we take more than 8hrs. His service is good and really, 5 stars.



Day 6-8: Alisan
The small red train is undergoing some reconstruction at a part of it tracks. Hence we need to walk a 500m from one station to the other, uphill, downhill, stairs and mostly on uneven surfaces. So anyone with a heavy travel luggage bag, not reccomended.


The blossoms are almost gone but we still manage to see a couple here and there. The air is very fresh and cold. The temp was about 8-10 at night with winds. Day was slightly warmer due to the sun but still cold.


Day 8: Sun Moon Lake
We spend NT7000 for a tour to Yushan for sunrise, then to Sun Moon Lake then to tai tung. I wont recom the driver as i feel that he's not as nice as Mr Lee. Try to spend more time in Sun Moon Lake to explore the place well. We only have one morning and hence didnt cover much.


Day 8-9: Gao Hsuing
Ohh.. I love this place. Maybe its because of the weather or the accomodation. The weather was just nice, with a cool breeze at night. We didnt go to any nitemkt here thou it shld be cheapest in the whole of TW. But we took a long long walk on the bicycle track from our hotel to love river. This place is romantic, with several musical fountains which i happen to like very very much.

Day 9-11: Kenting

Ohh.. Another lovely place with endless miles of beautiful blue greenish water. And the activities there are wonderful. I'll strongly reccom my accomodation as the auntie is really nice and made our stay a wonderful one. I wld love to go there again. To take the Jeep(NT2800), water activites(NT400 per pax) as well as a tour around Kenting.

Day 11-13: Hua Lian

Dun bother staying here. Just reach HL train station in the morning, book a cab to go to Takoro N.P and spend the day there and then take a train on to your next destination. Theres nothing to do or see in Hua Lian City itself i feel. Food is not tt fantastic too.

Day 13-14: Jiu Fen
Another place i will enjoy going. I love the old steets and stall as well as the chocolate mochi which we didnt get to buy as it were all sold out by e time we went back again. The view is fantastic esp when the sun comes out but even when it was all foggy and gloomy it still offers a nice view. And the homestay, wonderful. I like it very very much, just tt its a bit ex.

Day 14-15: Taipei
Last day to eat what we want to eat, buy what we need to buy. Just hang around drinking milk tea and coffee. Eating snow ice, mian xian and my fav: jian jiao!!

Well, tts all for now, pls wait for picts in facebook!
