happy 2009!
since this is the first blog entry of the year.
and to start the year right

it would be great to start a recount of the trip to taiwan

it was a dream to come true, to be able to spend the first week of the brand new year in taiwan
though i've been there several times already, just within the last 2 years.
somehow i just can't get enough of that place.
the weather was ideal, cold..but not to the extent of freezing
i was able to put on layers of clothes without worrying about sweating in them.
haha
actually we all looked a little inappropriately dressed as compared to the locals
their fashion sense definitely "wow-ed" me..
hah..alot of the people on the street seem to be some superstar of some sort.
or probably it's just ximenting fashion thats all
and i wonder why the two guys behind were staring at us.
(perhaps they immediately realized we were tourists)
oh well..
some reasons why i love taiwan

milk tea and instant beef noodles
probably under the strong influence of army
our second day farm stay...in the outback of taiwan

the attempt to make tang-yuan (that turn out in odd shapes and sizes)
and to learn how to spin the top.
haha.and i unknowingly won the second prize for the competition.
my top kept spinning for only like 5 seconds? :P

the super small piglet!
it was just running all over the place...
there are simply too many pictures that i've taken.
so just gonna post the nicer ones up.
guess this must be the most relaxed holiday i've been to.
since the past few overseas trips weren't considered as holiday
waking up every day, knowing that the day would definitely be relaxed n fun.
woo hoo.
we sang k till almost 3am..
ended up getting chased by a freaky lady on the scooter thereafter.
but the ktv building still left me in awe.
that taiwanese actually love to sing k so much.that they'll need 11 storeys of ktv rooms to suffice!
haha







it was a much needed break from the fast tempo of life here..
when we were there, everything seem to go on at such a slow pace.
time to breathe and reflect.
to find new strength to carry on.even stronger:)
ok i can't wait for the next holiday already.haha
but after all, these couldn't possibly happen without my best friends jem, zy n joseph.
they are the ones that made the whole trip so memorable.
2009 is gonna be the best year yet :)
