WU-62 days

It's two months now.

I am not sure what to say.

Doing and thinking nothing are the best ways.

I look forward to the new path of life that will end this sooner and later.

There are paths along the way

Having seen my friends being successful in their careers, holding senior positions in the firm, my feelings are kind of mixed. That's the trade off between the pursuit of what i yearn for and the normal life that i should live on.

You can't get what your want in both hands. Choosing one path over the other, you need to give up certain things. The bottom line is whether you are happy in living the path that you take.

We can never turn back time. We can't undo the things that we have done. However, there are always paths ahead of us. We just need to have faith in it.

I believe that i'll live the life i want one day.

Taipei trip

Recently, i made a trip to Taipei with HV. The purpose of this trip is to catch up with friends and taste the local taiwanese food that i didn't get to try last time.

Taiwan is a cool country! Not to mention the deliciousness of the food and also the hospitability of Taiwanese.

A tip that i learned during this trip - exchange Taiwan Dollars in your home country, otherwise do it at Taiwan airport. If you miss it, you need to go to banks or the big departmental store, ie Sogo to exchange the money. Also, not every currency is exchangeable. To my astonishment, Sogo doesn't exchange British Pounds and i had to go to the national bank to sell it. What an interesting experience! At least, i have no problem exchanging money in other cities.

The trip itself didn't end up marvellously as i was sick. Yeah, too much good food and drink resulting the protest of my body.


The famous spicy steamboat - 麻辣火锅

The ingredients of the steamboat. Yum Yum!

Soya bean milk with sandwich - my breakfast in the next morning

Lunch at a tea drinking place in 故宫 - an expensive and inefficient dining place which is recommended in a travel book. I should make a complaint to the author.

The dessert - almond jelly. Taste awful!


Green bean cake - taste all right!

The dissatisfaction of our lunch was replaced by the superb experience in 热炒店

Taiwanese beer. It was a nice beer for a non beer lover like me. That's the start of my hang over and sickness in the next day.

Hot spring in 乌来

The hot spring pool

My birthday dinner in a Japanese restaurant. Thanks T and HV for that.

Having delicate French dessert in Paul


Apple and chocolate tart - It's sensationally good!

Taipei, i will see you in few years time.

For those stupid drivers on the road!

I deem myself a considerate and careful driver on the road as long as you don't get on my nerve.

There is a traffic light near my place with two lanes. The left lane is for the vehicles turning left to the main road and the right lane is for the vehicles turning right to the other side of the road. I was supposed to take the left lane straight away when the green light was on. However, there was a car ahead of me that stopped at the junction without moving. After honking for few times, i realised that the driver was supposed to take the right lane. Just because there were few cars lining up in the right lane, to save time and to jump the queue, the driver utilised the left lane. The ironic part is - the driver never showed the signal until being honked and the signal was only shown for few seconds. Well, he thought it gave me a crystal idea that ' I want to turn right'. What the f**k! What a selfish and incondesidate driver! To vent my anger, i made a long honk.

Few minutes after that incident, i was driving on the main road. There was a car at the junction, crossing the main road to another side of the road when i nearly drove pass the junction. I was freaked out completely! If i sped or the driver slowed down the car few seconds, our cars would have collided. It would have caused a hugh smash! Gosh! I wouldn't stop honking the bastard!

If you are a careful and thoughtful driver, this doesn't mean that accident won't happen. There are so many selfish and inconsiderate drivers, caring about how to shorten their journey and to pursue the climax of speeding at the expense of others.

WU-Day 44

How are you?

You must be enjoying your trips somewhere.

There are so many questions that i want to ask you. I don't know how to start. Perhaps, i am just afraid of the answers.

It's really annoying!

What should i do to make myself feel better?

I am lost...

Feeling lost.

I wonder if i can get back on track again.

I really doubt myself...
