Taiwan Here I Come!!! (part 1)


first of all, i'm so sorry if you guys were expecting me to update yesterday
after everything was settled i was sooooo tired
thank you to all those who came to sent me off at the airport
very much appreciated the effort
in fact, i think you guys were the biggest group there to show up
i was really touched to see so many people caring for me
i mean..my thinking was like its just a flight away for six months who woulda cared?
anyway, thank you all once again
for those who couldnt or didnt make it...
well, you have your reasons and i've learnt to be a forgiving person
in any case, i'm won't hold any grudges against u guys
oh and yeah, i'm so sorry i didnt have the time to spend with you guys
stupid me left my passport at home *smack forehead*
thank God i reached the airport in time
i was speeding like crazy on the tpe after the jam

to my cg:
glad to really see all of you guys
if you havent heard, yes i did cry when i read the card
thank you very much for it
not to mention the cg shirt as well,
simple and yet beautiful
and of course the chocolate cookies!!!
(i havent touched it yet cause i'm starting to have a bad sore throat XD)

to my brotherhood:
pretty surprised to see so many of you
only thought zu, shen and kok was gonna turn up
in any case still happy to see all of ya
hope you guys do well for your final sems in poly

to my poly friends:
glad to see you dudes too
and am sure gonna miss all our laughter and bickering
but nair mind, cause i've got the two rhinos here with me in taiwan

here are the two rhinos on the plane

you coulda prolly guessed we were playing big 2 for the whole flight
you must be thinking buncha crazy people we are
lack of entertainment drives one to do that XD
i couldnt get a good picture of joanna and li jiong cause they were dozing off the whole journey
haha, buncha funny people i tell you
well,i'll post some pics of them the next time
taiwan is uber hot i tell you..for now at least
34 degrees C and humid to the max with no wind!!


we met our seniors mr cloud (dont ask me what kinda name is that cause i'm as puzzled as you are) and mr qi...i think

mr cloud and mr qi

i was so hungry i just dove right into dinner and forgetting to take photos
anyway, we had sorta like a pepper lunch kinda thingy but on hot piece of rock
the food here in this kinda eateries aint cheap
that meal's about NT$120,about SGD$6
i'll show pictures of my dorm another time
its uber cui
think s'pore between 1970s and 1980s
that kinda buildings
at least there's air con in the room

anyway, there are quite a few things i notice about how taiwan is different from s'pore

1) roads are very very dusty
you can practically see the dust floats around for 2 or 3 secs when a car zooms past you!

2)super helluva lots of scooters
i tried countin the number of scooters that passed me in ten secs and guess what,
turned out to be 8 or 9

3) the girls here around my age group are quite good looking
um...no offence to the girls back in s'pore
but they really are better looking here, and friendlier too!!
ok la,i'll have to say that some s'pore girls are pretty and friendly too
but as a whole, they will prolly kena owned by the taiwanese gals

4) dogs dogs dogs
i saw dogs everywhere and only one stray cat after 48hrs
even saw a golden retriever runnin around

ahh,me super duper tired now
cant think of anymore to type
i think i'll update tmr again XD
