hello alll :D!

i'm back from taiwan! It was an interesting trip, although i didnt really enjoy the first 2 days cos it just felt oddly surreal. it's like one minute we're wrapping up Fusion 2008 (aka, officially graduating) , and -blink-
WHAT, I'M IN TAIWAN ALREADY?!

i kept thinking of what i should do next, is there something i haven't done, forgot to bring? and shit, was my heart itching to check my mail. turns out i missed a few interviews, one which i didn't want to go to and one which was taken up already :( ah well.

snippets of taiwan (:
beautiful place with tons and tons and tons of mountains. u see one no matter where u go, even if you hide in ur hotel room. seriously.

(DO double click to enlarge to fully enjoy the pictures x)

this was taken at a place called Yehliu, famous for its strange rock formations, one of which looks like a queen's head and it was quite cool really.
the legend goes that He Xian Gu stopped to bath by the sea, and e Sea King was mersmerized by her, tried to grab her, failed, thus sculpted her in remembrance.

here's darling mummy and her cousin's daughter (does tat make her my cousin? i duno, but i'll just call her cousin for convenience's sake). This trip was especially different because it's my first time going on a holiday with my mum's side relatives.
I'd like to think my cantonese and mandarin has improved considerably xD the listening part at the very least.

oh! and the awesome cable car ride. I'd like to fly someday.

sun moon lake! Its really gorgeous. The water is like good jade, cool & translucent green! *_*

bus ride. I love long bus rides with my music. Stolen was tops on the list (:
ah...graduation. shit, graduation.

grandma's bridge.

wild sakura. according to our guide, these dark pink ones are the wild sakuras and the lighter ones are those planted by the japanese when they occupied taiwan in the past (:

and wow, the most beautiful part of the trip. 九份 (Jiu Fen). It's a little village up in the mountains and has the best fishballs ever. *_*
