Back for about a week in Singapore

A week passed so easy... times really fly in a flash of light...

Read my friz's blog and kind of like the thing she posted.. so i pasted it into my blog too..

《男人的标准身高应该是这样计算的:

当他拥抱自己的女人时,女人的下巴可以微微搁在他的肩膊上。这样他的身高就很标准。 
当女人投入他的怀抱里,一张脸刚好贴在他的胸前,听到他的呼吸声。如果女人的身高只能贴着他的横隔膜,这个男人的身高就不合标准
当女人痛恨他,想掴他一巴掌时,手不用举得太高,以至那一巴不够重。
当女人用膝盖撞他时,能够撞到他的肚或腰,而不是要害。随时被女人撞中要害的男人,一定是本身身高不合标准。他的高度,刚好要令女人微微抬头仰望他,而不会看到他头顶的白发或秃头。当他蹲下来的时候,刚好可以让女人踏在他的肩膊上,攀过一堵墙。  
当女人受到伤害,需要保护时,男人忽尔变得很高大,能够给她安全感,能够站在她前面保护她。如果无法在女人最需要他的时候变得高大,这种男人就太矮了。 

有了孩子之后,男人忽尔变得矮小,跟孩子的高度一样,和他一起在地上爬行。为了家人的幸福,他可以缩小自己。》

以上那段文章是我最喜欢的作家-张小娴写的一篇散文,也是她众多作品中我最有印象的一个。我一向很执着于男人的身高,喜欢的男生都不矮。

Obtained the above paragraph from Jia. I agree with her. In fact, a guy's height is the first thing that attracted me to look at. Next, make a guess wat I will see. Will let you guys know on my next blog. But I believe many of my friz will know wat I look at next.



Mon (14/1): First person I met was my one of my poly good friz, Annabella. We met in NUS, coz currently I am attached to TLL lab which is in NUS for my FYP. She is working there so met her for lunch. Anyway, thanks to her I located TLL easily.

In evening, my good friz, Ash, dropped by my place to see me. Didnt really update much. Just passed her the gifts I bought her. Hee hee. Anyway, we planned to meet on fri again with some other friz too.


Tue (15/1): Today went back to NTU to attend the Conduct briefing. As planned earlier in taiwan, we had a small gathering after taiwan trip. Met up Ivy, Weibin and Taichong in NIE for our lunch as we missed the noodles in NIE. Hee hee. Later, we updated something that happened on Mon. It seemed as though we had not been together for quite long, which in fact, it is only one or two days only. Cannot blame us as we had been together for the past 5 months plus.


Wed and Thur: Back to lab again. I did quite a few mistakes but dont feel like mentioning it so let me just forget it and get on with it.


Friday (18/1): I met up with my good friends, Ash and Esther at Vivo City as it is easlier for me to go there after work. We had our dinner at Harbourfront food court. Had my favourite beef noodles. Although taiwan also has beef noodles, they cook it differently. Here they used thick mee hoon which I prefer more. We then went to shop around but I dont dare to see much as I realised my cupboard cant put in anymore clothes. So better control. Next, we went to sit by the bench outside. Saw the construction at sentosa for the IR thing. We chat for quite long. To be frank, it was only this time I felt more comfortable. Maybe didnt meet for quite long, so it took me a while to mix in. Haha. I am a person dont adapt well. So dont be too surprized.


Took pics on bus on our way home... Ash and myself




Sat (19/1): I met up with other good friends, Airu, Cailing and Yiling. First, Airu and I went to eat sushi in MS, coz I missed alot. Hee hee. It is nice I had my steam egg finally. Felt so great. "Ohiishi" The other thing that I will never missed is the lobster salad sushi. Really had my fill. Cailing joined us after she and her bf went to the carreer fair in suntec. With them, we went to another Jap. restaurant in Citylink. It is a newly opened restaurant and they are selling Jap. spagetti. Afterwhich, we went back to Hg mall to buy donuts to eat. N sat in mac to wait for Yiling to join us. Had curly fries too. It was nice. The donuts were also good. Had a long chat there. Did a few IQ games and also try to plan for our trips to Australia to go for Jia's graduation in July.

Waiting for Ru to pick me up to go Ang Mo Kio Mrt station to take train. So took a few pics along the way.

Passed Airu her present, see her happy expression. So glad she likes it.


Now enjoying my food... Ling and I at Hg mall Mac. The new donut shop outside Hg mall. Nice looking right and not too big to make one too full.


Silly drawing by my friends while we are chatting. It is a combine of keroppi, caterpiller, butterfly and... see wat u can image...


Yilng and Me...

Although I was not away for very long, it is really good to meet up with them to know how they are getting on. Thank you, my lovely friends.

I also like to thank my family members for their loves and support. Also my mum now especially for providing me with alot of nice food. Think I will put on weight again. I need to control after this week. Need to keep myself in good state as my graduation is this year too. Haha.

P.S.: I think I got addicted in taking pics in taiwan so keep taking pics when I go out now. Also self taking I have become prof. Haha.

Today is the forth day since my return from taiwan

Still remember the first day I reached Taipei, I was down with flu and kept thinking why did I come all the way for sufferings where I can enjoy my life in Singapore. What could be more happening is to meet with earthquake. Then one week later, we (Ivy and myself) headed down to Kaohsiung for our last semester of studies. Then came to first know a Taiwan friz called Melon, would like to thank him for helping us to find the way to the international villa, taking the keys for us and carrying our luaggages.

The most interesting thing is to get to know my two 学弟 (Bin and Chong) from SBS. Life in NSYSU and taiwan would not be complete without you guys and also my lovely and supportive, Ivy. I missed the time where we go to school together, walking up and down the hills, traveling on the school bus... I missed the time where we could have our lunch in the 老地方 in front of our school and also going to Lin Ma Ma together for dinner.

当时的不习惯, 到如今的不舍得。 但我们还是回到新加坡,开始了我们忙碌的生活。

To Bin and Chong, all the best for your studies. I believe you guys will score good results. But dont study too hard, must learn to enjoy your lives too.

To Ivy, all the best for your FYP. Too bad we are not working very near. But I believe you will mix in well. I think I am supposed to be worried for myself more. ha ha.

Lastly, thanks for the accompany for the past 5 months or so. It has been great. To the guys, thanks for helping us with the luggages and staying up late with us. To Ivy, I missed your company in the room. Nowadays, I am more consistent to put moisture before I go to bed. Haha. I think it will take a while for me to adapt back to the life in Singapore again. Hope I will do fine.

Need to go to bed alr. Tata. I will try to update more since now cannot use weibin's blog as reference alr. Hee hee. Okay. Sweet dreams to all who see this blog.

To Tainan again... we went to buy "Tu chan" n eat, eat, eat...

On the railway train to Tainan, the train is similar to singapore MRT but the seats are with cushison and this is the cheapest train we took. It costs about NT$69. There are three different types of trains running for the railway with different prices, timing and traveling speed.

Half way there, I took a photo of the sunset directly infront of me. Not a good catch of the view from inside of the train. But it is really beautiful if you see it.



What's more ahead. Behind me, I saw the dark clouds. Believe rain is on the way. It has been some time I met the rain in southern part of taiwan after the cold season has arrived around late Oct (if i am not wrong). The most interesting thing is there is a rainbow accompanied with it. It is the first time I saw such a big rainbow on the sky.


Hope you can spot it, coz it is really difficult to take. N the pic is only a corner of the rainbow. Believe this is a good signal for everyone who saw it including ME and it really good to be able to see it on Christmas eve. Hope everything ahead will be smooth sailing and in three weeks time I will be back in singapore doing my final year project.

Btw, in tainan, I spent quite abit. Bought "tu chan" which costs ~NT$520. In additional, I bought a hat for NT$100. Actually, this is cheap and nice. It is something that I hope to get for quite long and glad to find it at such a good price. N bought a couple watch for my bro and his wife to be. It is also buy at a good price. So hope that they will like it.

Okay, I need to control abit, coz will be going down to taipei on 31 dec for the countdown party. Have to reserve... although I still like to buy some clothings for myself and also gifts for friends.

Thanksgiving for this special ocassion of the year... Christmas!!!

This is the most favourite day I like in the year, since young I am blessed with gifts from my family members n relatives. It is so nice to have all the love showered on me. As years go on, I have my celebrations with alot of people... my secondary school friz, my chruchmates in navigators and most importantly with my FAMILY.

This year is going to be special. I am in taiwan celebrating this Christmas without my loves ones but with some new friends, WB and TC, maybe XYZ who is coming to taiwan for his FYP. Of course, my friend, Ivy Low, who is along with me for this international exchange program. Don't know what to expect this Christmas but believe it is going to be a Christmas which will be colder than in Singapore.

I would like to give thanks to my buddy, Ash. She prepared the pictures that we took over the last year, so that I will have a chance looking at them and also remember that good times we spent together. Yiling, my beloved friend, who did a nice knitted scarf. I haven’t really used it but did bring out. Hope I will be able to use it when I go to Taipei this New Year Countdown. Think the temperature there is lower as compare to Kaohsiung.
To Xiao Ke Ai, Ru and Little Mae Mae, Ling, thanks for providing me the cash for purchasing one of the most valuable item; that is the Concise English-Chinese and Chinese-English Dictionary for this trip. It is an important item I need and used frequently. Hee hee.
In addition, my lovely sister also gave me a pair of gloves and a jacket. I bought the gloves along but not the jacket coz my luggage overweight. The gloves provided me warm during cold weather.

The most most important thing for today is the birth of Jesus. I would like this time to thank Jesus for coming to this world to give us new lives, it is not what we done but because of His love for us, You came. Hope this wonderful news of Yours will be spread on and on the everyone on this earth.

This is a pretty nice song introduced by my sister.

So wat so special about today?!?

Of course, it is my good friend, Jia's birthday.

Happy Birthday!!!
Sorry this year we can’t be celebrating your birthday and Christmas day together. But may our wishes and blessings be with you although you are oversea in Australia right now. N also will be doing webcam tonight, so hope to have a good chat with you and the rest.
I would like to that this chance to thank you for providing me with the blue pairs of gloves. It is so thoughtful of you (my most thoughtful friend, who always think of us and loyalty is the best word to describe YOU). This is the first gift that I received from the gang before I leave for tw. It came in handy when the weather here dropped too low.


My first Christmas gift... all the way from australia, from who?!?

Who else?!? Other than my Cutie Jia. Haha.

It is macadania nuts. It is abit salty at the outer but it is pretty tasty. The card is also very cute, the reindeer is talking to a group of kangeroos.

What is love?!?



I kind of like this song by Fan Fan. Do I really love him? is the emphasis of this song. But to me, I think I would like to ask myself do I know what is love? If love at first sight, true? Is what kind of attention you receive and give determine if the person love you or you love him? I don't really know how to answer. I have been in love at first sight before but do I really love him or is it temporary attraction.

Another song of Fish Leong




To introduce to all...

Dog Dog...


At the dinner place outside school. Pic not taken nicely, because this cute puppy bites on my pants when i decide to take a picture of it and this shocks me haha. This puppy was very small when i first seen it. It is like only two hands size of mine. Now it is already this big after only two or three weeks. I realised people in taiwan loves dogs alot.


A better catch of the puppy.


Another puppies pic that i took in taipei, I think it is in shilin. I wish to have one to keep. Ha ha. But not sure if i will be a good owner.

Although people in taiwan like dogs, there are still alot of stray dogs around my school campus. I can count more than 10 when i make my way down for class from my hostel. So please dont keep a pet unless you are able to commit to it and love it. Hee hee.

Missing my family and friends in singapore

As I took out the photos I bought along for this trip in taiwan, I begin to miss my family and friends in singapore. Looking at todayonline, cold storage is promoting on christmas feast food. This year I am going to miss the celebration with them. Although Christmas is still about 1 n 1/2 months away, I missed the time planning the date for the celebration, planning the food to bring or cook and most importantly is the time spend doing things together. It is really fun.

The weather in taiwan is getting more cooler. So hope it will be a cold christmas this year, which is something different from sg. :)

P.S.: I have uploaded some Jay's new album songs on my blog. Hope you all will like it. I find them pretty nice.

Kenting trip from 24 t0 26 sept

We are staying 佐秀民宿 located at 屏東縣恆春鎮. It is introduced by our friends; Peiling and Wing Yan. Thanks to them we have quite a nice trip and a good place to live in. The price is about 1500NT per night. But the price will vary depending on the season. http://uukt.idv.tw/inn/jso.htm

The first thing that attracted me is the japanese style bedroom. It is really nice to have thick beds to sleep on because i only have a thin bed to sleep on in my hostel. Haha. The place is pretty cosy for our three days stay.

















The door that leads to...


Beautiful view from the balcony
