Fade To Black

after four long months.....
i finally met familiar faces (apart from my classmates) here in taiwan
yup, my cousins came to taiwan and has been touring it since last friday
unfortunately, they only came to taipei late yesterday night and left earlier this afternoon =(
but well at least it was better than nothing
it was really a big relief to see them :)
why do i say that?
really made me reflect about some things in life
the family ties and the friendships that one has around them
those who are around for you when you're in your darkest moments and you need a helping hand
it might not seem much to you guys,
but i really appreciate those who stood by me these times when i'm in taiwan
and sit through online conversations listening to me rambling and complaining about...practically everything
it also made me realize how homesick i was (which in a way, its bad aint it?)

anyway back to what i was saying,
yeah they were living in quite a high class hotel, the howard plaza hotel
invited me for a buffet breakfast at the hotel this morning
i had to get up at 8 this morning and i was soooo not in the mood to go with all the fatigue overwhelming me
was thinking of just going back to bed when my alarm rang
but i'm glad i went in the end
all the fun and laughter really made me forget about all my workload and deadlines
even though it was just a short moment :)
O.o they said i grew even thinner than when they last saw me which was in err....August?
all this while i thought the opposite because of the huge amount of rice i've been eating :P
well,its good news still (not to worry josh, i still exercise...honest!!)
we took quite a number of photos but most of em by a polaroid camera =P
anyway here's one of em...



Dear Lord
i'm still trying my best to handle this situation and while its not easy
please grant me your strength to remain strong
to focus my heart upon you and not of the things around me
