Updates

back from Taiwan on monday night and only manage to update now as i have beem super busy ever since i touch down. Got to rush two assignments which are due next week and got to setle my class concert practice. Being put as in charge, i need to choose the dance songs, arrange the dance, choose the dance dress, hand props, hair style. And just name it man...i am all doing it. With ever since all date lines to meet, today, i gave a silly smile to my supervisor. She ask me why i smile but i just reply her nothing. Cause that smile is to me myself, is implyig, "goosh, i am going mad with all sorts of datelines crashing on to me!" With my absence, i need to make several phonecalls to parents also regarding my students. One of them is not coming to school as she thought i am leaving, which i am only travelling. And she is indeed very happy to see me when i am back! And one of my boy who is naughty but only listens to me, gave me a big hug and call me "TEacher CaroLe" lovingly when he saw me. This kind of satisfaction, who can give me? No one!!! Only i know. I really love my children to bits. Only adults who really love their kids before will get what i mean. :)

As the mountain tortise me has finally get up and went down a plane, several friends called to ask about my trip. Taiwan is not much of a "Wow wow" thing for me as teh sceneries are not impressive enough and i did not get a culture shock. But i did went gaga over shopping and shopping. Went to Shilin night market and i love the atmosphere there. There are these gangs of illegal shop vendors who will lay their mat and shirts in the middle of the road and there are so many of them that it form a long stretch. So half of the walking path is occupied by them and people will always stop and look at what they have to offer. You can find all kinds of casual wears there, irregardless of t-shirts and pants. But when you heard a siren, all of the illegal vendors will suddenly run and hide as the police is out for real business. But when they are gone, the illegal vendors will be out to "block the way" again!! Hee Hee!!

Went to "Fu Fen Pu" where wholesalers exist but i don't like the fashion sense there. Went to ximenting most and bought most of my clothese there. A quick view of my Taiwan trip...

Try this fruit if you see it in Singapore!! It is call "LIM QIM" in hokkien or "shi jia guo" in chinese. It is the most time consuming fruit i ever seen as you got to eat SEED by SEED. But it is a tasty fruit!
