i revisited my blog to find that it's so full of emo.. lol.. but really, what's there to write about happy stuffs when there's facebook which makes u seem like u have some "real" social life? perhaps the real me is pretty emo, and thru all these posts i can actually get to understand myself more... who knows
and the first entry in more than a year... i have to admit as much as i love my exchange trip in China, i hate it.... i love the exposure to something new, i hate to know the pple around me better...
the togetherness they speak about... the integrity they're supposed to uphold... the initiatives they're supposed to take because they're friends... all hypocrites.. every single one of them...
i was supposed to come beijing alone.. and i believe even in this 2-room apartment... even as "we" go to work and school together... i still feel like i'm alone
maybe i was expecting too much... or maybe i was being too sensitive... i'm getting sick and tired of feeling this way over and over again... maybe we shouldn't have understood one another so much, and should've stayed as superficial friends. nothing more than just being bonded together by an entity, as ironic as they are, known as "carnage"?
after being through all these i start to regret that i din actually spend more time with my old gang. maybe kenbang was right... why have so many friends? all i need is just a few true friends who can talk heart to heart, who are willing to make a few sacrifices, and who won't leave anyone behind, and doing all these even without speaking, without promising... but maybe i was expecting too much...
family, love, friendship... these were the 3 most valuable things humans can own, according to some taiwanese drama i'd watched back in JC days.. seems like i now am only a third as valuable as a normal human being

oo, what's this? a new blog entry after half a year of collecting dust? that's precisely the point... wanted to blog about my uni life ever since i returned from taiwan, but was probably too busy with *ahem* academic issues.
and now exams over, phew. never worked this hard, although the payoff might not be great, hahaha!
edited my age at profiles page to 21 (finally), and realised how time has zoomed pass. within a month we'd be greeting 2008... very fast indeed...

For any entry, information, comment, experience, photo, etc.. pls refer to shuiling, jeremy, or khaiyan's blogs, LOL! there're just too many things to upload and the 4 of us are gonna blog about the same thing anyway.
but i'll post a picture nonetheless. 'twas taken by khaiyan, albeit without my permission! but the photo turned out quite nice! din know i have such nice back, HAHA!
oh, the picture is minimally shopped, lol, to remove my glasses and correct the colour levels. and THAT'S ALL! anyway, i really had fun in taiwan. and coming back right before nbs foc is a correct choice, even though i'd loved to stay there for a couple more weeks, lol!

Naruwan Taiwan, Part ??
LOL! this is loooong overdue! this entry is supposed to be done like half a year ago, LOL! anyway, lemme upload some photos first before i go for my next taiwan trip.
here's a not-so-close shot of my hometown. sleepy old town. but don't get fooled by the mist! it's really mist, and not haze or smog. the air in Puli is renowned for being one of the freshest and cleanest in taiwan, lol!
ok, the town isn't as small as the pic seems, trust me. this is where i took the picture from. it's from a relatively famous temple called the Zhong Tai Monastery. Super big! and the architecture is truly amazing. it has its own hostel, restaurant, museum, temple stuffs, and even an academic building just to preach Buddhism!
here's a shot of one of the market streets, or Cai Shi Chang. In s'pore terms, market/bazaar. the picture below is Puli's brewery, famous for its Shao Xing wine.
next is the famous Sun Moon Lake. nice and serene place, i feel.
then is another famous location, Chin Jing Farm. It's called a farm because there's a new zealand guy who came here and reared his sheep, lol. another very nice and scenic place. from the first pic you can see the words "Ching Jing Little Swiss" (translated, literally).
that's all. actually there're more pics, but since i'll be going back taiwan in another 12 hours' time, no point posting all, lol! seeya guys (exclude jer and shui) in 3 weeks' time. oh, btw, i'm still contactable by handphone and emai. ciao!

today i went for a haircut + colouring at x'pect studio, done by the all famous Srico
here's how it went, for those who're interested in cutting your hair there. at first he's nice enough to assess my hair and what kinda hairstyle i'm looking for. i know most stylist will do that, but i've met some who don't! then he gave me the option of "Maintenance" type of hairstyle, or a "Drastic" type. i so wanted to say drastic, lol, but i just let him choose whichever fits my face best. Then he suggested a more maintenance type since this is my first time there, and he doesn't wanna try anything too fanciful, yet. OK, sounds reasonable, and after a quick wash he starts snipping away. I dunno if it's Srico himself, or it's a weekday and i'm the only customer around, he did his job nice and patiently, which i really have to commend because the last time i did my hair at K*mage (LOL for the censor), the stylist was quick to cut and was kinda like in a rush, which didn't give me a good impression.
then inches by inches he started cutting my hair away... until i realised my long hair which i was so reluctant to cut and had waited around 1/2 year to get to the current length was actually missing the fringes.. my sides were cut to nearly a slope! he still dared to joke "this should be the shortest you've cut since NS right? haha" goodness.. if not because he's so renown i'd have walked out already! then, another wash, and he asked an assistant to bleach my hair.
i was then led to a machine with a sort of ring, which is folded when unused. think of it as a thin but big donut folded in half. when activated, the "wings" will unfold and heat will start to dissipate from the ring, kinda like a mind-reading/brain-washing device, lol! have you wondered why and where they clear away all your cut hair? probably to clone another you! and the ring machine is actually some device that extracts your intelligence, personality and memories and implant them into your clone!
then, another wash.. i think my hair was washed at least 5 times during my 3 hours stay.. my bleached hair actually made me look super punk! then srico and his assistant started to apply the main colour. it made me feel like some sort of VIP or celebrity with two stylists working on my hair at the same time, LOL! however, the smell of ammonia was kinda lethal.. it's like, all the ammonia through my years in the chem lab presented to me in 5 mins!
another, final wash, and srico started styling up my hair. seriously, i could NOT see what colour my hair was dyed to.. even so until this entry was posted.. he sez it'll appear after a few washes, so fine, i'll listen to him. good thing is he explained all the details needed to style my hair, which i wasn't paying a lot of attention to, and also how i should blow-dry my hair so moisture won't be trapped inside and cause my hair to curl or be wavy.
overall, i find the experience rather pleasant. but my hair is seriously super short now! it made me feel super Sunshine, lol! i could just add a earring to my left ear that kinda hairstyle.. not that i'm disappointed la, it's more like a shocked feeling, LOL! i'll see after a week or so when my hair starts to regrow. my hopes are on you now, srico-san!
