Its been such a long time since i last blogged. So long so long. i miss blogging about my daily life. Now the whole world is goin to watch me do it again. So it begins....
From my last blog entry, i ended off in the mid of my olvls. I officially ends my journey in Cath high for 4 years. Fun, laughter, sadness, anger acc me throut. However it was my frens hu made it possible to hv any of the emotions. Wif out them, i was just a living corpse. 2-9 had tham and aloy, jon, renjie, chernwei etc. 4-4 had bryan, ben, reuben, sharkie, kaiyang, jeff, AND tham etc. It was a rocky journey to me, but i made it wif the help of them. I could hv no word better to say than thanks to them.
After the chem paper which was ridiculously easy( i didnt study properly though), we went to watch harry potter. It was so rushed that the plot of the whole movie was lost in the running of the whole show. However the special effects and graphics of the movie was commendable. Overall, its worth 3/4 of ur $.
Then it was the taiwan trip. It consists of bryan, kaiyang, jeff, ben, me, and bryan's mum. I was abit dizzy while i was on the plane and i nearly womited. Then i tink it was kaiyang hu took out the paper bag and suggested that we could PS inside. Lol what an idea. The Air stewardesses were all so seductive. Gosh. how i wish i could take the same plane everyday from hougang to cath high. Wedding Crashers were shockingly uncensored, thnks to the courtesy of bryan wong hu enjoyed the movie thoroughly b4 telling us the good news.
Then we touched down and we were welcomed by 2 pplr. One is bryan's cousin and the other was his Auntie. We took the expressway and reached that auntie's hse. Woah that hse is big, real big, it has a first floor equipped wif full surround system and players mechanism. 2nd floor was the master bed room and a random room. the 3rd floor was for bryan's cousins. the 4th floor was the floor we were goin to stay in together wif a room wif all the praying stuff. The fifth floor was..... a room wif a Table Tennis room! Woah we surely had a fun time there.
Then we went on an extremely long car ride that nearly casued my ass to malfunction and rot. We were supposed to go a place called Hua Lian and we came from Tao Yuan. It was supposedly miles and miles apart. The whole of taipei itself is already bigger than singapore le. We went thru the mountains and the roads turned and turned and turned. i nearly wommited at the gas station when we finally alighted. It was almost similar to the Initial D show of the qiu ming mountain wif 5 consecutive hairpins. Except that dis time, i thot it was worse then that. The whole journey took at least 6 hrs. I applaud our drivers which was the auntie and the 2nd uncle. They had such full concentration that they made it possible for our safe and comfortable ride.
Then we visited the bayside, sum tourist attractions, etc. It was a helluva experience.
And then we came to dis ice-cream factory where bryans biggest aunite owns half of it. We were treated to icecream and we realised that, the kois that the factory owns, eats icecream! Pplr hu cannot finish their icecream can simply throw into the pond to feed them. Lol. One of bryans uncles bit the icecream. Chewed and Chewed. Then, ... HE SPIT out everything into the pond to feed the fish. That was hilarious in the first place. But soon some of us tried. haha. Disgusting huh. Its smth u cant do in sg. So we got no choice but to see how it works. At least i found smth hu lyks my saliva though. Hehe.
We went back to taoyaun and had shopping spree.. Gosh the rumours that taiwans cost of living is similar to SG and the things could be even more ex were quite fakey. U could get limited Nike Dunks at a cost of only $120 - $140. The things there thrashed Far East and Queensway. As my mum only gave me a limited amount to spend, more of the time i was watching them chionging their lives out on every product. Lol.
Then the limelight of the trip came. We missed the last train during one of the outings and we could not get back to taoyuan straight. Then there was this peculiar group of men camping at the ticketing outlet. They kinda harrassed us and said that since we cant get the last train back to taoyuan, we might as well take their car back at a megotiated price. In their hands were holding cigarettes and vulgarities were spewd out at random from their mouths in their own conversations. We jus declined them and we decided to take a train back to shu ling and no choice but to wake up 2 of the aunties relatives to fetch us back as it was nearer from taoyuan there. The men harassed us and kept trying to negotiate whatsoever till they saw our determination of rejecting them. Cool when we finally left that place and went back to taoyuan. Hu noes what wld happen if we got into their cars?
Den we went on wif our shopping spree as usual for the nxt two days wif that incident as our constant reminder of not goin back late by missing the last train. Den came the 2nd incident. Jeff was trying on a cap and ximen ding till he finally found a suitable one. After he paid and went out of the shop, one 20++ girl suddenly came up to him and offered her name card and smth and harassed Jeff. Not those kind of Jio by teenage pplr, but lyk those kinda prostitutes jioing customers those kind. In Broad daylight. We all tio stunned. U could hv seen Jeff's stunned face. Lol.. Den Bryan explained that while jeffery was paying for his cap, he accidentally flashed his $ and furthermore we looked lyk tourists, it attracted the attention of sum evil-goers.
Den on one of the last few days, one of bryans younger cousins brought us to liu fu chun which was a much greater scale of amusement theme park as compared to Escape in Downtown East. I rejected the 1st ride which looked scary. Den i actually went for the pirate ship in which kaiayng said is one of the scariest among the rides available. The height of the pirate ship went up till 3 to 4 storeys high even. I tell u, when i went up that ship, that first drop i nearly died. My heart nearly flew off my mouth. I closed my eyes and screamed. AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!.. I screamed and screamed till i decided i wld conquer the last few rounds. Then i said," ONE MORE TIME!" Suddenly, The ship stopped. It was over. -_-" Lol
We went for other rides too and as the amusement park was together wif a built in zoo, we got to see lotsa animals too. Lyk the white tiger? Chio man. Along the way, i thot we neglected bryans cousin cux she lyk kinda didnt join in our little mini conversations. kinda sorry though. Honestly rite, i tink bryans cousin if she was a little slimmer she wld be a looker. Lol, shes too old for me la hah, and maintaining a relationship overseas is damn diff, FURTHERMORE, shes older then me by 8-10 years. So no talk and no more gossip ar! Lyk last time that peichun girl. Lol if u all dont believe can ask raymond. He saw that girl and agreed she dont look lyk primary sch.
Along the way many things happened too. I cannot mention everything abt cux it wld take foreva. However there are sum things whcih are often in qns of my mind. Am i taking things too seroiusly or i what i do is just protecting my own pride, sumhow i thot if i were to give in one step, i cannot expect to give in the 2nd step all the time. But sum wld tink i wld be just selfish and petty that minor things i hv to argue. Well its not totally true. Hu wans to be the butt of everything? During the trip, i quarelled wif almost everyone though come to tink of it. Am i really so petty? Am i really such a self-centred person that everything i hv to request to go first or the best? What if i nver mention it? Wld i hv the chance to go first at all? So what if i give up my place for others, wld others hv done the same way to me? Such questions often rang in my head. But the taiwan trip made me reflect the most. Throughout dis 16 years of my life, i persevered through insults and bullies that were seemed minor to many. But many drops of water can form an ocean. Everytime i tel myself that i already sacrificed the even least of my pride that i am almost lyk a dog. Under everyones beck and call. Jus because u are small, short, harmless and weak, and ur dress code often reeks everyones disgust which i often questions such thoughts.And because of that, when u say smth u resemble that untouchable group of pplr, u get criticised and mocked at, but when sumone else says the same thing, no one seems to hit back and no one else says a thing abt those words. Am i really such a loser, sumone hu everyone hates to be wif anyway? Then if sacrificing after so many years of insults and bullies, which to all seems small anyway BECAUSE u are not the one being the victim, hu wld understand such pain and sorrow? If it does not work out by sacrifiicing my dat already shattered pride, den whats more could be done to keep my road going? Paul Ng said that he heard from his frens dat sum of the bestest frens could be, when they went for a trip together overseas and when they came back, they dont even tok to each other anymore. I hope i wld not classified under one of them. I work hard towards that goal. And i hope it wld not fail me towards the end. Cux it meant that i suck even at being the least of a fren.
I miss taiwan. I miss the juchang pplr.
I wanna go home.
