and missing Taiwan lots. Yearning to fly there this very minute and with the jetstar's current promo.. it makes me wanting for Taiwan even more. So jealous that Xiaoyun is going there soon.
I told Jimmy, that one of my wishes is to go Taiwan alone but he doesn't allow. That is so sad isn't it! I must fulfil this wish, with or without his permission.
It should be cooling there now, it's fall. I haven't been there in fall yet, only late winter and early summer. I believe it'd be so pretty. I'd definitely go Yangmingshan in a spring or autumn, to see the flowers. And go to the hotspring too! I'm not sure if the yearn to go is due to me not wanting to stay in Singapore, or I really love Taiwan so much.
Anyway, Taiwan has so much so explore and it's not very difficult to navigate. Communication is not a problem since I can speak mandarin. People there are real friendly and the food, shopping is fantastic and really economical. It even feels like home. Miss the beautiful scenery up at Jiufen, we had our own little house when we went this year May!
our little house up high above 九份老街
yes it's my house there! *enjoying the scenery
beautiful scenery tat melts your heart
our house overlooks the mountains and the seas
another view of jiufen, from jinguashi
the infamous auntie at jiufen laojie
it sure feels like home
really missing the place! given the chance, i'd definitely stay at jiufen again. it's so full of culture, and different from the city. having a chance to stay amongst the locals there, is an experience of a lifetime. i only pray that jiufen don't become too overly commercialised and cause the place to lose its unique flavor.
Counting down to my next Taiwan trip, Autumn 2009.
阿信的歌,都很有意思。不只是旋律好听,词中也包含了的很深的意义。拥有推动人,感染人, 感动人,鼓励人的力量。每次听五月天的歌,都会觉得人生中充满希望,也给我一种想追求自己梦想的一股冲动, 让我觉得,拥有自己的梦想并没有错啊。我是可以有梦想的。不开心的时候,听了他的歌就会开心起来了。Yes, sounds very cheesy right. But that is really how I feel. Can I just say his songs are just so therapeutic?
There's an article in the current issue of Cleo about this.. the 30 things they list, most of them are quite dumb. So I shall make my own list that applies to me!
By the way, I am NOT 30 yet! So I've got a few years do complete my list. Hee.
1) Get married and have kid[s] 2) Lose 10kg 3) Travel alone to Taiwan for 2 weeks
