Hey guess, sorry I havent updated this blog due to the traveling I've been doing. Since my last post most of the time was spent with the family(extended). Did meet some friends that mean a lot to me and even went to Pesta(first time there and boy boy boy it was FUN!)! Was preparing for the CHRISTMAS EVE PARTY! and boy it went well. I was so scared I didnt do a good job because I was left in charge of it this year. Thankfully everyone loved the food. That was a huge relief!
The party was a blast, I got really nice presents. Seriously.
Right after the party which ended about 4 something, I had a really really short nap. Woke up around 1 hour later to get ready to leave for the airport and off to TAIWAN! (so if you couldnt send messages in or contact me or there was no reply, it was all due to this. sorry guys)
By the time we arrived in Taiwan, I was beat. BEAT! But the tour must go on. We arrived in Kao Shiong and slowly traveled up to Taipei in our 7 day trip.
We visited many interesting places and there were many night markets to explore. But to be honest, street side shops dont sell cheap. i can get something from Top Man at the same price. What the heck! But there were many trend setting stuff. But because it was winter, many shops were selling winter clothing which isnt much of a use back in Malaysia.
We even had a farm stay, but when I say farm, it is not your ordinary farm though, ofcourse it was a recreational farm went for guest, with chalets and all. There were even cute piglets on the farm. But the thing that was the spotlight for that place was its hot springs. Got a dip in them and spa treatment. Not bad for a farm.
The hotels got better, bigger and so much nicer as we slowly move up to Taipei. Wooo.
Now, about food, Taipei is famous for its snacks and it didnt let me down, like the beef noodles. But one thing is for sure, nothing can beat Malaysian food as it is still the top of the list as they are always rich in taste.
Most of the time was shopping and shopping but we didnt really shop at the night markets but at the real retail stores as you can compare the price and purchase. I really love what I bought :)
So, as I got back to Penang on a Cathay Pacific flight a few hours ago, I realised that time passes by so fast and during my trip I missed my Peps. And noticed that on my next flight which is around 2 weeks plus, I will be leaving Malaysia and starting anew. It will be a new way of life and a totally different place and a chance for a new beginning.
I'm gonna miss heaps of stuff some a lot, some just mere, but I surely will be missing a lot of things.
-NEW YEAR'S BLUES-So as I count down the days before I will be at the airport again. I'm gonna cherish all the time we have.
What a way to sign off for year 2008 but first let me have a short synopsis about it:
This year, I met the best and the worst things by far. Met awesome new people, lost some of last year's (SAD THING), met shit head people and also kicked out some. Hahaha. To be frank, this year wasnt the easy way but thankfully it wasnt, as it made me better, stronger and much more matured. Made me see things in a different way, a better way. Though there were sour and bitter moments, but the outcome was sweet. I had a sweet treat of knowledge at the end. I stayed on on many occasions even though it dreaded me, but I did learn, did earn at the end. I dont regret 2008, in fact I'm happy it happened. It's called
GROWING-UP.
As 2008 ends, I invite all of you back into my life in 2009.
and may many many many good things happen in 2009
HAPPY NEW YEAR
2009
