Winter complaints


Hello, Hello sweet earthlings!
I just returned from Taiwan a few days ago, and only today, I got around to edit my photos and also post an entry just because I feel very...bloggy today. Whatever bloggy means- but you get what I mean. I got the drive (LOL, so dramatic) today!


Taiwan is a really nice place, and I would so love to go there again. Maybe next time, I'll go around Spring or Summer. Winter isn't my favourite season of the year for a few very understandable reasons.


Firstly -I absolutely detest wearing bulky coats. Layering clothes after clothes- ughh. Other than the fact that I'll look huge in photos, its' also quite bothersome when it comes to shopping. Can you imagine peeling one top after another every time you wanna try on the new blouse in the boutique? What's worse is you have to do it really fast because our tour guide gave us a really short span of time to shop and there's about....rows and rows of shops. You have no idea how I wished I could duplicate myself like an amoeba during then. I end up not trying most of my new clothes. Just bought them right away since they're all free-sizes. So much to shop,  so little time.


Secondly, Shopping is fun yes, but not really so when every direction you see are winter coats, fluffy ear muffs, leather gloves and an impossibly large array of woolen scarves from neons to pastels. They're so pretty! It really sucks because I'm from a tropical country and these stuffs would never be worn when its a steaming 40 degree Celsius out here! Ok, so I exaggerated, but it feels  like it is that hot. Like a frigging desert sometimes. *Shakes head*  note: Having said that, I still managed to buy a whole luggage worth of new clothes.


Thirdly, Holiday season = crowd. Practically sardined (!), especially when we were in the National Palace Museum. Not the ideal place to be at when there's so many people. The smell of body odor and strong cologne wasn't very pleasant either.


Uh, that's about all the dislikes for winter! Haha, funny, i was supposed to tell you about my trip but ended up with the rantings. I suppose I'll do it it the next post! By the way, despite all the winter-complaints, I'm pretty happy with the overall trip. Will update somemore with photos and tell you briefly the places I went to (this includes a STRIP CLUB *gasps!*). 

Toodles ;)

it's break time

haunted-dinosaur


 I watched two DVDs today, and it is really weird because I never (literally, never) watched movies on my laptop before. Not since the start of college in Jan. Snipets of them, yes maybe that. But 2 complete movies in one go? That was a bit too much. but i think I might have a new hobby.


This might be hard to believe, but I'm not a fan of movies. I'm one who could listen to gazillion hours of music but can't sit through half an hour of a movie (Unless I'm in the cinema, but only because I paid for it. and because I usually have popcorns.and because I can't possibly leave my companions in the middle of a show- whether or not it's a good one.). Movies really eats away my time. Yes, that's exactly what I felt yesterday and the many many days/months before. Not anymore! For now.


I missed out on so many movies this year, but I'm gonna make it up for it this holiday. I started with "The Social Network" and "No Strings Attached" today. Maybe... "The Zookeeper" or "Paul" tomorrow. Or maybe some cartoons! Oh, how I miss cartoons! "Megamind" should be a good option. Hmm. 


Anyway, I'm quite hyped up about my trip to Taiwan in a few days time. Can't wait! The thought of streets filled with steaming hot delicious food during chilly weather is just so...Ah, mouth-watering really! I'm going with my family and HuanYi this time, double the fun! Let's hope this trip is better than the last in Korea! :) I'll take as many pictures as I can, considering that now I have a really good camera now. No more poor-quality photos hihi :D


Love, me.

updates: I got my driving licence! So excited to drive around town in my parents' car!
