this is like their living conditions up there. shop hses..crammed..an on top of a hill..alwiz makes me wonder how they built it in the first place 

bird's eye view 

a very misty view from the top..we're at jiu fen le! 

me and steph near the toilet of the next carriage..heh..when it was still rocky and dangerous.. 

this is the scary train ride to jiu fen...we bought tix from this machine after consulting the tourist info counter at the train station. this is like their choo-choo train, huo che thing..little did we noe our tix didnt allow us to sit on the chairs..nice comfy chairs...but we happily plopped down onto it anyway.heh..till ppl came and told us it's their seats.heh..quite embarrassing. den we were 'banished' to this place in the middle of 2 carriages..the scary part was..one of the doors is left open! if we fell, we could just roll out onto the tracks or wadever there was out there! and..the journey to jiu fen is like..erm 45mins? to std 45mins! sighhhh...it was so terribly freakish when an oncoming train zoomed past us..the sound is like kinda "wow!" and u cant see much cos the trains move pretty fast..all of us had to grab on to wadever we could..which is not a lot to begin with..but halfway into the ride..we figured how to close tt door..-_-''' tt lessened the danger factor quite a bit and allowed for pics like these!!! ha! 

we're in Jiu Fen! well, not there yet.but this is on day 2. when we just came out of the train station after tt terrifying train ride..heh... 

aye...fat pic of me..but i'm happily eating breakfast while waiting for the huo3 che1 to go to jiu fen..with ticket in one hand and my bao1 in the other..i'm all set..oh...and i'm like wearing my new half jacket..heh...i bought it on day 1... 

tt's the logo and there's a safety net on top i dunno for wad..hope it's not cos ppl try to jump off the building.. O_O and lalala...13th floor...of KMall..heh 

this is hostelling life! hahaha...us with our v chikok blankies n faces..hahaha..so unglam..but it's bedtime at 3am

Bright n Sunny Day 1

my bao bei came over bright n early to send me off..ha..even though he will happily yell out tt he was forced..i believe we can ignore tt little fact if it makes me happy..dontcha ALL agree?? =) took linzie's bf's car to the airport..thank God for neighbours! wahhaha..anyway we were all super duper excited and ard half an hr later than our planned time to go airport to check in la.heh..had some BK breakfast and dashed in le. (i saw u turn and walk away but me saw u again at the other 'entrance'..wish i may wish i might i for u to turn ard to see me wave one more time but u didnt..aaccckkk...*gek*) we were so close to being late for boarding..or so we tot..hence we rushed ard and barely had time to enjoy the airport..well, least i got to hop into the DFS and talk a wee bit to my frens there.heh..well, we rushed to boarding gate n realised we were early n THUS.. all those with BFs..made utter full use of...the... FREE telephones in the airport! whee~!!was so happy to be able to talk awhile before boarding.cos i sadly didnt bring my hp along.no roaming, no point. *pout*

when we got on the plane..the feeling was like surreal la.it didnt feel like i was gg to be away frm home n all things familiar.we did try to slp.we wanted to watch like tv or sth.but being the budget airlines..we had no free entertainment. u had to rent portable TVs or pay for a deck of cards or even for food which might not taste gd.ah well..it was down to our resources..3 out of 4 of us actually had a deck of cards can..so lan4 du3.ha! play n play n keep watching von lose..haha..i was trying so hard not to lose cos i hate dealing cards.my hands are like retarded or sth at tt lo. soon, we could like see the outlines of taiwan..we think it is la.heh..cant tell frm up there cos there aint no large signboard yeah?excited excited!!!

we got off and we immed lost.haha..everything was in fan2 ti3 zi4 and we didnt exactly noe wad they wanted.we passed by some ultra corny customs guys -_-''', zipped to the belt where u collect luggage and dahsed out le.den we were lost again.dunno which bus to take n how to go.n so happened tt the tourist info counter and the bus station were at the 2 extreme ends of the airport.-_-''' finally we just went on any ole bus which said they were gg to taipei huo che zhan. tt itself was a prob.cos..our hostel was supposed to be near taipei main station.we werent really sure it's the mrt or the huo che station or wad.heh..anyhow anyhow take lo.we figured it cant be tt far.=) the bus ride was so fun on it's own.we practised our chi by trying to read ALL the signboards of ALL the shops lo..haha..steph like can only read one word..i tot i was not too bad. von n lin more power..due to all those vcds they watch..well, turns out our hostel was inside a shopping centre.on the 13th floor.by the time we reached, we were ready to eat each other and yank our hairs out.trying to check in was a killer actually.we actually have 6 ppl. von,steph,lin me. val and her pal. travel tog but not really tog. it was quite terok. we were expecting a 6bedder rm of our own.den they think we bked 6 beds only.so we ended up in a 8person rm.so we have roomies. den there was the deal abt the hostel fee.gave us all headaches. we were not members, no international student card, no discount.so we have to pay more.tired, cranky n hungry women are not to be trifled with! we kicked up such a huge fuss.till the guy wanted to pay for the extra bit for the membership card or sth.well, it's his fault cos he didnt say after signing membership card we still have to pay extra for sth else.but being still nice n sane ppl, we pay on our own lo.rraahh..when we finally got to our rooms and settled down..it was alr 9plus le. by right, we checked in at 7plus shldve cleared by den.ugh..n our hostel looked quite erm..double decker beds.metal lockers. shared bathroom with another room of 8ppl.with one roomie.ah well..

we just went to dabao cup noodles i think. cos it was late.most shops closed.we also dont exactly noe where to go yet.just walked ard our place. oooh! their cup noodles v super nice! it has real meat in it!chunks.u can see it de oh! not like singapore's miserly noodles tt only has the flavour n not the meat.well, our nite was concluded by playing cards till 3am..haha..kena niam by nx door neighbour for being noisy.oops. =)

this issue has been revolving ard my life for like..all my childhood all my life..i hate it! i dont see their reason..if ur reason was u're worried abt me..den ur reason would have been valid till i turned 18..if ur reason was tt u have nth to do after 11pm..den ur reason is really lame..there's so many things u can do and they dont have to be bad..if ur reason was like i go out too many times..den ur reason is starting to piss me off..i only go out on weekends these days..who are u to say i go out too many times? the most i go out is twice a wk..i hate u... there..u have no more reasons..if u loved me..would u subject me to such torturous nites where i have to part with my frens just to stick to my pathetically secondary schoolish curfew?if u loved me..why dont u trust me? if u loved me..why stop me from having fun?if u loved me...well..i dont love u anymore k?i'm grown up..i've grown up..and i hate these restrictions..i hate all these..all the times u say 'no' just makes me hate u more..i didnt wanna use the word hate cos i dun want it to be that definite..i dun hate u..i just dislike wad u're doing to me. but i feel enough to say i hate u now.of all the tons of frens i have..i happen to be the only one with a curfew..if ur lame shit excuse for me to have a curfew is tt..i dunno how lucky i am as compared to u when u were schooling...c'mon..times change..ur time was boring..my time is fun..don't stop me from having fun..i am only young once..just like u once were. if u say u love me..den i just have simple qns to ask u..if u loved me..den wad is my chinese name? do u noe tt?no u don't..if u loved me..den how old am i this yr?do u noe tt?u dont either..if u loved me..u'd noe sch and which yr i'm in..but do u?even tt is questionable..since u apparently couldnt be bothered abt my life..why let this bother u? I.Cant.Stand.It.

i hate u but i hate myself too..hate myself for being too weak to pick a fight..to yell back..to scream back..the furthest i'd go is to slam doors and bangs things ard..and to have cold wars..i have nv really screamed back at u..well..if tt is good upbringing den good for u..u have 'succeeded' as a parent if tt's wad 'parenting' is all abt in ur head.i'm well trained..just liek a pet..i lowered my head when scolded..i dont talk back..i dont go ahead and do it even though i noe it will piss u off..well trained indeed..happy?

one of these days..when i am able to financially support myself..i'd zoom out the door without a backward glance..if u loved me..u wouldnt do this..the more times this happens..the more i wanna run..u alwiz wonder why i go out so often..why do i fly..just qn urself..just look at the times u chide me and restrict my freedom and u'll prob find a trend..tt would be if u gave a damn abt my life..

Miss u like crazy

feel like singing the Mofatt's song now.. 'i miss u like crazy lalalallalalala' i forgot the lyrics...mofatts was an awful long time ago..hahaha..anyways..night are so lonely without my dearest..sigh... days i can still keep occupied..cos usually when he goes army..he cant really talk to me during the day..night is when i will wait for 930..cos it's the start of the "phone call window"...hhaha..they're supposed to be free from 930 to 1030pm ma..i'm alwiz v excited when the phone rings..but now..it seems like my nights seem longer.. so strange right.. i cant help but wonder..am i too sticky?!?! i even dreamt tt i snuck into his field camp to surprise him lo.. *shake head* future psychologists out there...diagnose me!!!

misery enjoys company

i'm sick..sore throat and fever..why am i sick so often these days..used to be a stronger girl! sigh...

i miss my bao bei..miss him like mad..miss him till my little heart feels like it's gonna break into a gazillion pieces..

i feel overwhelmed at work..feel lost...feel like i need to study but i dunno wad to study..the things they cover are so vague..i really cant rmb anything..

i feel miserable..sick and yet i go to work..stding in the freezing cold air-con..feeling my head throb everytime i cough..feeling my throat being so dry yet i cant have a drink..feeling hot all over yet i have to keep standing...i really miss my bao bei..i really just truly wanna talkto him..tell him how bad i feel..let him noe..make him understd..i need him to just sit and really listen..sit and baby me or pamper me or just reassure me..i feel a deep pain in my heart right now.. sighhhh

i want a normal relaxing tai-tai life!! erjie...i wanna be a housewife too...i have finally seen how nice it can be...most of my frens are worried abt our future..the bible happns to tell us not to worry abt our future though..cos..if he clothed the lilies of the valley, if he fed the birds up in the sky, how much more would he be willing to give to us right...so we're not supposed to worry..but den..it's hard to not worry!!! esp with the grades slipping..the scary scary supervisors ard..the really tough assessments to do..ughhh!!!no wonder most of us are thinking of changing courses...tsk tsk..if u ever wanna be a physio in singapore..please..THINK TWICE...

parties are making me excited

me and dajie talking abt parties..den i suddenly was set thinking abt my bdae.. wad would i do? den i suddenly had this tot tt i wanna be a queen right.. den i tot of alice in wonderland.. tt i can be the queen of hearts den everyone else can be the deck of my subjects.. but den wad if someone upstages me!!! so tt's out..

but the big qn is... will i have a party?????

firstly..parties are expensive!!! secondly..if i had a party..it'd be v hard to mingle the whole nite.. and thirdly..who'd i invite?

i have to invite... my poly classmates...my jc classmates..my sec sch classmates..my guideys...dajie they all..tt's quite a lot of ppl..and those tt i noe but arent in a category..hmmm... so strange..plus plus plus... pppl are busy.. like it's ard the unio exam time... so who'd come? shucks..

and nx.. to plan a themed party??? hahaha... i cant think of a theme tt's not too exaggerated..not too difficult and yet still exclusive..

well.. i can force ppl to come in pink... but tt's too pri schoolish.. i can have some fairy princess theme but it's so pri sch too...aiyah.. so difficult..but yet so v exciting.. hahah..

how abt me just doing exclusive stuff with every bunch of my frens? like.. gg out to a spa session with one grp of girls.. and gg for a shopping spree with another and stuff like tt.. but it'd be tooo tedious... hahah..everyone'd hafta take a queue number and line up just to go out with me! and i can leave the planning to them! ha! but tt way..i'd find myself with a lot less frens suddenly.. haha..

i cant help being excited!!!!! and my bdae is still EONS away! hahha...
