Life away from that tiny island..
Back to where I feel I belong..
Having arrived back here in Taiwan on the 28th Nov, I have been enjoying my stay over here... Over the past few days, I've been helping out with household chores because my grandparents really have a problem cleaning the house themselves.. Especially given the condition of my grandma.. It's not helped by my two little cousins in the house.. They help mess up the place right after we've tidied the place. =P Nonetheless, the place is comparitively neater and tidier now. No more empty boxes in the toilet, no more stained walls, no more uselss papers all over the living room, no more torn and smelly clothes in the empty room previously occupied by my uncle. I feel some sense of achievement - all these done by my mum and I =)
Winter season. Temperatures at around 14/ 15 degrees Celcius is really cooling.. And eating those 50cm-tall ice-cream and cold dessert in the natural air-conditioned surrounding makes it all the better. I love this feeling. Absolutely. And when my brother comes next week we're gonna play soccer. I can imagine the cold air feeling my lungs when I run... I just can't describe this feeling.. Like your lungs are gonna burst.. But you just feel that you have the unlimited energy within you to continue running and enable your lungs to run on the engine.. =)
During these few days I've been on an eating spree with my relatives.. I don't know how they do it, but they just seem to know where to get all the best food in this country =) From the alleys to the streets to night markets to restaurants, I don't think I've missed any good food. =) But the thought of gaining weight has put me off from eating.. But I can't help it.. I know it'd bad to eat too much in the night, but the 'real taiwan' only becomes alive at night =)
*I'll be posting some pictures of my family and I once I get the disk for the digital camera. =)
Lately, I've also been walking around the streets aimlessly with my elder cousin. We watched DEATH NOTE: The Last Name. I think it's not showing in Singapore yet, but I'd like to comment on it first. It's a nice movie if you know the story. But if you don't, you'd probably be clueless about the sequence of events. The edited version of the story will, however, dissapoint those who have read the comic. But I guess they had to shorten the whole story, or else the movie would probably go on and on and on...
And oh, in the comic, L dies before Light dies, but in the movie Light does before L dies. =Z
Besides that, I've been playing PS2 with my cousin.. Winning Eleven 10! We can play the god-damn box till early morning the next day. Our record: lights off at 6.30am. =P Fortunately he's having school vacation now.. So he can spend the whole night playing with me. Lolx. Then we wake up the next morning to 'report' to my uncle's noodle shop to help out... Surprisingly, I don't feel tired at all! =) I think I'm used to sleeping late now. =)
All these are to be short-lived though, 'cause nothing can stay forever.. I don't think anyone can feel the pleasure I'm feeling, so I'm really glad to be back.. In another 3 weeks I'll be back to where I left, so I might as well enjoy myself to the fullest extent whilst time flies.
[And while the elections fever is back.. Now I see the old politics-crazy Taiwan.. haha.. ]
Hmm.. I wonder what the rest of you guys doing over there?
