Day 8 : Back home to Singapore
things i really miss taiwan: the climate.nt the cold or rainy one. 20-23 degrees or sothe windy cooling one.. the xiao chi.. wholesale in wu fen pu; cheap clothes n nice design the veri cute taiwanese who helped me during my trip.. liao dao.. my guide who was such a humourous n knowledgable man. a retail staff by the name of xiao ting who was such a big help in her professional in her recommendation which made me look slimer. of course, by maintaining my diet, n not adapting to the climate n food there n unhealthy sleeping schedule did contribute for sliming. the 8 day trip did pull my family bond closer as a result my little nephew sticks to me at times. the young butler at this fu jun hotel in taipei looks charming who bears a slight resemblance like one of the singer in fei lun hai. yan ya lun . hes quite a nice smile n directed me to the police station near the hotel i stayed n provided much assistance. the tour group which i joined were all nice n jovial people..especially sharon who lent me a hand when i slipped n fell in qiu fen
carrying the baby pram around is no joke especially travelling for long hours & changing hotels everyday like 6 hotelsin 8 days
back to singapore brings me to the things which i have taken for granted like the political stability ,cleanliness, toilet, safety, multi language heritage n the unique singlish , fellow singaporeans share.
the close proximity from one place to another is only a mere 30mins or so latest by cab, car, no natural disasters. strong currency . n some of the efficiency i c among most services in most companies
being bilingual with the basic language of english n chinese brings me certain advantages especially among the asian countries , with not much difficulties , its easy to blend in with the 2 most prodominent languages used widely.
however during the taiwan trip, obviously i was not used to the primary language , chinese. pu tong hua as the main communication mode , besides i was educated using english so initally the switch to communicate with some of the locals there was quite a challenge.
the transport system is quite chaotic , during my first day of the 8-day trip in taiwan, i was totally bewildered n bizzared by some of their methods adopted, the style of the english n some of the jargon used . sometimes when i listen to their radio channels or watch tv , there are bound to be some chinese which i dont quite get it
i learnt to be more polite towards my customers during this trip n picked up some dressing etiqutte. oh mine, all of them are so well dressed n groomed in the service n retail industry, if they could improve in their english standards i tink this will bring them further in the region.
I met up with this ntu lecturer who is sitting beside me on the way back frm tw to sg on a sq flight, just had this instant instinct that she looked like a teacher to me .. n most importantly was a english teacher. call it my sixth sense or wat. she was on a 4day business trip in taipei for some conference to help the taiwanese to improve on the standard of the language efficiency
the trip back frm kaoshiung back to the capital taipei can take abt 5 hrs.. most of the time.. we can be dozing off from time to time which is someting that i m not used to it back to cozy home town over here
this entry is procastinated much long n delayed about 1 week or so . was much in holiday mood didnt have a lot of focus when i returned to work on 14/11/07
17/11/07 ocbc family day -- lousy event
18/11/07
met up with the gals coz one of them was back frm a japan trip/ nice bitching session
went for a facial juz now.. attended a family dinner @ tony roma's at suntec to celebrate my old bean's birthday which is currently today 19/11/07
it is also pb's n bro zane's birthday was contemplating whether to send a birthday sms to them. in the end decided nt to anyway .. with which pondering in my mind was 3 words that sprung up.. whats e point ?
i c more friends getting married.. pregnant with their child.. some which i heard getting married at a young age n then divorced first, second time which i ponder if i can really belive in marriage n seein my own bro in his all messed up love life with someone so complicated. 2 kids of 2 different fathers n now with my bro whos also someone nt suitable marrigable candidate.
the one for me seems far n unreachable. able to stay carefree n free spirted is such a luxury . singlehood can also be fun as well.. with some spinsterhood fellow jie mei.. last min travel plans..
able to focus on my personal goals
splurging on my own expenses without having much worries.its perhaps i have totally lost confidence in the men which i dated... having gained n lost is such agony.
the mixed emotions that contantly runs in my mind still strikes a terror deep within me. of course nowadays i do still keep an open mind . casually browsing around but i c no suitable candidate.
besides i dun wanna settle for second best
i was tinking long n deep that with such character i portray, i cannot be a good homemaker n some times i can get so wilful n short tempered n capricious i guess not much men can get along with me
pb is a nice fren but not a gd lover to maintain long relationship
the secretivness n freedom he gives doesnt justify the seriousness in his part
now almost 6 months apart.. i tend to give myself space to digest the unhappines n put it aside n live day to day happily. simply appreciating all the happy things i have now n all the good news i share
of course bro worm's plight did create an impact in my selection n my view point in relationship on how men n women can change so drastically over a decade n how married people can also continue to indulge in infidity while they already have such a happy family scene
i also observe the couples in my family bicker non stop n i find it a bore sometimes
till the day i can seek my own happines.. wish me luck in my career now.. getting even better n better .smooth transition n more sales n compliments many more good tings to come for me..
good grades for exam in 2008
good men r hard to come by.. really...
completed the 10km run in sept. 21km for stanchart run in dec.. hope my stamina is good.
next month is my bdae month as well as christmas run should plan for a 3 day break for my birthday n relax.. pamper myself well
