I'm back home after a holiday in Taiwan! Actually, I came back yesterday night but I had a major headache so I went to sleep early.. (^^)v

How's the trip, you ask? Well, the first thing my piano teacher said when I stepped in for piano lesson this afternoon was:

" You've put on weight!"

...

(--)'''

BUT you get it-- I ate like a pig there; breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, supper, plus lots of soft drinks. *sigh* Couldn't help it~
And I love shopping there! But I honestly wish that we spent more time in Taipei and Taichung where I can shop till I drop.. And less time on the bus! It's like this half the time:

Tour guide: Okay, everyone, we'll be arriving at (name of destination here) in.. about 2 hours! Meanwhile, I'll tell you more about .....

*Arrives at destination, say, museum, and tours for about 30 mins; boards bus again after that*

Tour guide: That was interesting, wasn't it? Okay, our next destination is (name of destination here), and we'll be taking the ______ Expressway this time. It's very long and was built in blahblahblah and we should arrive in hmm, 3 and a half hours!

I think I basically died on my seat every time I hear an announcement like that~

Oh yeah, I was terrified by the traffic there when I first arrived. Maybe it's partly because everything's the oppposite, but I couldn't make sense of the traffic-- the vehicles on the road, especially the motorbikes, don't seem to be looking at the traffic lights! But I got used to it after a few days, but I still found it stressful crossing roads (^^)''' And my sister said the traffic in China is worse. Oh man

Speaking of which, I'm pretty determined to improve my Chinese after a week in Taiwan. Everything there was in Chinese-- roadsigns, maps, food packaging, TV set and air-con remote controls, you name it. And I can't describe to you how horrible I felt having trouble switching on the air-con and TV... I resorted to pressing every single button that I could on one particular trying control (T-T)

So that's the end of my first real holiday!

Okay, I'm gonna stop now and start catching up on what I missed~ (^^)/

I feel like I'm rushing, rushing, rushing for everything!

Rushing to shop (for a box of Pocky for my Euphos) *don't look at me like that-- I just didn't know what to buy~*
Rushing to pack for my Taiwan trip
Rushing to translate the Kime videos
Rushing to blog
Rushing to practise the piano at least once before turning up at my teacher's house for a extended 2-hour lesson in dunnohowmanymonths
Rushing, rushing, rushing

Ahhh~

So anyway, I went back to school this morning-- thought I'd see my dear juniors one last time before I leave for Taiwan, since I'm gonna miss Farewell (TT)

After that, Hui Min and I went to have lunch at Taco Bell/KFC. Mmhmm~ And then HM (saved my life) brought me to the Japanese language centre that I'd otherwise fail to find, completely (--)''' I'm thinking of learning Japanese this holiday-- but it all depends...

And I still haven't decided which JC I want to/ can go to... *sigh* Well, I'll know the procedures tomorrow and hopefully, I'll be able to decide.

Os are finally OVER!!! OVEROVEROVEROVEROVEROVER!

It's so weird. I've been waiting for today since forever, but I can't seem to get out of the 'exam' mode yet. It just doesn't feel like Os are over yet. Maybe it's because I didn't feel the hugh sense of relief I was expecting. Hmmm... How should I put it-- it just doesn't seem right to sit around and do nothing.

Oh, but I didn't "do nothing", 'cos my mother immediately made me pack my luggage and that took up a whole afternoon. Horrifying~ And, I'm only leaving on Saturday. But YAY! I'm flying to Taiwan for a holiday soon! It's been ages since I last had one. But, oh man, the clothes I'm forced to pack-- I think I can survive in 9 degree Celcius instead of 19~ (--)''' *whack*

Kimeru's new PV-- Junk Beat!



He's really cute in some shots (!!), but I think a few are overdone *cough* (forgive me). Regradless of that, it's a nice, cheery upbeat song I'd listen to anytime. Also, is it just me, but Kimeru now seems to be going all out to project the "cute" image? As in, he was always cute and all that, but his two recent PV are just screaming "KAWAII!!" and have none of the "coolness" found in the older PVs.

Oh well, whatever-- Kimeru's stilll the BEST!!!

Anyway, there's this other j-pop group which caught my attention. It's called AAA, which stands for Attack All Around. Hmph. I think I talk about them another time. I'm a bit lazy now ^^

And a little while ago, Hui Min, knowing that I'm a big fan of Death Note, led me to this HILARIOUS doujinshi. Read it! It's so funny! Talk about global warming-- LOL
