I anticipated 2013 x

It was close to the end of 2012, about 10 days before when I wished 2013 could come faster. I just can't wait for it to be over, to start all new with the year ahead.

New Year's eve I was working so it wasn't much fun but went over to Wen Qiu aunty's place for dinner and chat around till the countdown and continue talking thereafter.

I've got a knack for candles lately :)

Uncle Philippe :) who teaches me French!

Chilled out xx

Such a nicely home cooked meal. Couldn't thank her more 

And next day, (no all hell didn't break lose) Bicester Village! 

Such a nice lovely place that is

xxxxxx

I do no resolutions for the new year but I wish everyone a blessed and healthy year ahead with days filled with love, joy, peace, harmony, and all the spices with many reasons for jubilation

working too hard...

in my case is rather self inflicted. It's December, it's flight ticket home time, it's boxing day, and all the blimey shopping to be done and rents to pay trolls along.

Nevertheless, December has been quite eventful. Have been working almost 3 weeks continuously and I can see why is that not recommended. So Solihull and Manchester this weekend, Birmingham for boxing day and possibly Nottingham later on, and Bicester village finally!

Seems like my ending to 2012 can never be any pompous!

Been to the cinema for Great Expectation which is quite interesting to begin with. Definitely a yes yes movie to watch :) Go on Charles Dicken fans!

The one poem that sticks to my head like a boogey in the nose is Life's Brief Candle by William Shakespeare since it was in our literature in school.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow and tomorrow

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day

To the last syllable of recorded time

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

The way to dusty death

Out out brief candle!

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage

And then is heard no more; it is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury

Signifying nothing.

unfold

that past memory..

a scrutinizing deleterious feeling I wish I will never ever experience it again. 

Taiwan part 3

and the very last bit on Taiwan...

Alishan

-Walking in the woods never felt so good. Felt like I was Bella but there's no Edward-

The sister's lake

Every tree has its tale - 3 brothers

If you can make out what this resembles - you've reached a higher level :P

This one as well...

Walking down the woods - fresh air, foggy atmosphere

Cold streaming water

Stopped by for some sausage!Not grilled with fire but with hot stones :)

The elephant trunk :) (At least I can make out what this is!)

Sunset xx

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tea leaf plucking the next day

Sun Moon Lake

Went to another minority tribe where they got their own 'king', 'queen', 'princess' and 'prince'.

Very interesting indeed..

Walked around Xi Men Ting at night and doing last minute shopping! :)

Army on duty! Can see their sweat dripping =.=

And it was super scorching hot that day!

Braving the sun

Last night in Taiwan :( Having our last final bowl of dessert

Taipei 101 in the background :) Didn't bother to go all the way there

Day of return

Walked around the building where they film several Taiwan variety shows :)

-THE END-

Taiwan part 2

Because we're from Menglembu all the lembu's love us :) xxxx

3rd night in Taiwan, Bear Resort. 

Was really looking forward to this as daddy, Nie and Ben was saying how nice this place was etc etc..

But it just ended up to be really really bad. And boring. Because it's in a rural area, so there's no shops to walk around at night, nothing nothing!

All I can do to entertain myself..

Is to bear-up with them bears for a picture =.=

They had this event at night for tourists at the resort and we all get to write our well wishes on the lantern :)

Lighting them up and...

Ready to go!

Next day....

Again, I can't read so if you can make out where it is...:)

Tuna's tail!

Then it was shopping time :) Maybe more like photo taking time

BABY ELMO <3 p="p">

Spongebob Squarepants!

Favouritism Eeyore 

I tried to blend it but...

Snoopy!

Doraemon :D

Mascot for 2009 Kaohsiung World Games

Waiting for a ferry to go to seafood street?!!

LOVES

Instead I had poop ice-cream @.@

Walked all the way till we ended up at the beach

Went to the night market especially famous for its papaya milk
