HOME!!! I WANNA GO HOME!!! :(


our dorm has been having quite a nostalgia for old music
we've been like turning on those music through our laptop speakers loud enough to fill the room
i thought mine was like the oldest songs one could listen to in this day and age
with those like michael learns to rock, eagles, scorpions, beyond and even 刘德华
seems mk beat me to that record, he has really super duper old antique music all the way back as far as the 1920s
elvis presley and the beach boys, many others i cant remember

the five of us went to a birkenstock store yesterday somewhere just opposite our school
oh yeah, you can see joanna's eyes lit up when we went in
from what they say, its a lot cheaper here in taiwan compared to back home
the cost was around SGD$60 but there were ex ones also like SGD$130 and above
it didnt really surprise me when i didnt know what that brand was
(F.Y.I. if you're a noob like me on such stuff, birkenstock is actually a brand of slippers)

partly cause i also rarely have the chance to spend money on branded goods
when it comes to stuff like that,
i only can use the money i saved to buy anything else outside of our my daily meals
make no mistake about it, my mom doesn't give me extra money to buy such stuff
those of you who can ask your parents to get you things that you want,
like getting a car,
extra money when going out with your friends,
you might not think its much, but count your blessings
i dont even get any extra money except for my daily allowance
for that very same reason, you see me somewhat stingy at times.
i know i know
some of you might disagree with my methods of saving up on money.
to some of you, looks are probably more important so you spend more on fashion
but looking decent is enough for me.
i dont see the need to wear branded goods all over...at least thats for me
(thats prolly why you see me in tees, jeans and slippers when i go to school most of the time XD)
some might say they want to look good
everyone has their reasons so who am i to judge?

i know i promised some pictures from my dorm in the previous post
but i'm just too lazy to take anymore photos so i'm takin it from adrian's blog XD
sorry bro!!
quite cui right?
but aiya onglee six months, wont die la

lemme recall where did we go for the past few days...
argh, my memory really is failing me
i think i need to get an organiser soon...
oh yes, we went to the taipei zoo
this is the entrance

this is the tram we took to the first section of the zoo
the zoo is uber huge, nothing like those those in sg
we spent like 3 to 4 hrs and only walked around the mammals and reptiles area
there's another 3 sections i think, we will prolly go again some other day when we get our student card
you ask why?
cause its only NT$5 if you're a student which is only like SGD$0.25!!!
here are some pics i took and we also took a cable car to get to the zoo!!
all the different types of er...dung outside the toiletXD


yup, thats about it
sorry if you were expecting pictures of animals but i was too lazy to take any of 'em
besides, they said NO cameras
i'll prolly try the next time, ya know..test the system XD

thats about it for today
gotta get up early for some reference book reading on surface tension tomorrow
see ya!! =)


when your soul's grown cold and all hope has run dry...
