pingni: happy 2007!
heyy guys.hope all of u had a merry merry xmas!
back to revive this blog a bit or else its almost like dead. haha. anw its cool reading about laotians and cambodians from muddy and sau..n suddenly realising how forturnate we're to be living like how we're living now.
great to be learning new things! hmm me n xinying learnt a lot too from the taiwan immersion prog (althou not girls carring parangs like tote bags).
erm so for 18 days we were stuck with each other and im glad to have her company larh. esp when im sick for the last few days..gotta her thank a lot for taking care of me given her unsymphathetic nature (stil laff at me becos of my bad hair day and sick voice). eh btw, does she even read this blog?
shall share will u all random pictures.
my geog classmates! beaches without sand exist!
the whole beach is filled with rocks like these! i duno about u all but its my first time seeing so i was very very amazed!
and we saw statues with weird poses like....
these! (lol we laffed like mad here)
and we learnt that taiwan is in year 95 cos they count from their independence in 1911.
haha!
ok larh there're a lot a lot more pics but its impossible to upload all. and so for 2 weeks, xinying n me were dressed in bumble bee uniforms....experiencing the cold weather but the warmth of the taiwanese students! 1st time being in an all-girls school for both of us...n also did a lot of things for the 1st time!
like : making pottery, watching the military band march(with the flags n guns n everything..it was cool!), taking lessons in chinese and hearing weird terms for mathematics, strolling along the jingmei river which almost looks like our big longkang, break a gun into many different parts, hit the chinese drums, learning dragon dance, wrote chinese poems, sang aboriginal songs and learnt aboriginal dance( n omg we were forced to perform at the farewell ceremonies), went to the pottery museum and science discovery centre, ate ice-cream when we were freezing, drank tea from teapots at some cosy place where we met fellow singaporeans, watched a french movie n we all cried, played badminton together n we miss pe!, played paintball shooting, made pineapple tarts, did some espf measurement thing(similar to our napfa), learnt how to dance opera, learnt chinese painting, made creative little slides, learnt archery, played with the cheling(some traditional chinese toy that is like a yoyo) and tried to learn the trick 'ants up the tree', made our own weirdly-shaped dumplings, practised hip-hop while watching wochaiwochaiwochaichaichai on the tv, wrote xmas cards till 3am and heard weird noises, saw everything we could of each other in the hotspring and we also went to touristy places like taipei 101, danshui, shilin, ximending, etc etc.
haha impossible to blog in detail now-u-know. yarh n btw after this taiwan trip, me n xinying are gonna treasure singapore's toilet bowls n rubbish bins.
okok enuff about taiwan i miss it a lot already. hope u guys had loads of fun too this holidays! whether u went overseas or found a job. if possible, blog about it and dun let our blog die larh ok.
