Wishing all HAPPY BLESSED NEW YEAR!
There are a few topics that I want to touch on today, and it is going to be a vreally vreally long post.

So to begin the new year, we have to give thanks to the Lord that He gave us a wonderful 2014. It has been really fast, and yet very eventful. Giving thanks to Him is the 1st thing that everyone should do. Give thanks that you have been all well and healthy to move on to the year 2015. Give thanks to Him that I completed my A levels. Give thanks to Him that I kicked my habit of biting my nails. Give thanks to Him that me and Brandon celebrated our 2 years old. And Lastly, Give Thanks for He is good.

As all of you know, Kang Je Eung has travelled to Shang Hai for his university studies for the past 3-4 months already. Yes, I have a hard time getting over the fact that we cant be together on the same island and he is about 3800 kilometers away from me. With the involvement of technology, I am able to keep in contact with him. Of course I have my own shit to deal and he has his own. And year, we are going strong and keeping the relationship in a healthy way. I believe that we are still bestfriends.

Brandon has entered into my life 2 years ago. its really interesting that this is how far we actually lasted. We have officially 2 break ups and coming the 3rd. But to me such break ups are actually healthy for the relationship. It gives each other time to think of what they really want in the relationship. So today we got into the issue of going to clubbing. AND I DISLIKE THE IDEA OF CLUBBING. Its not enjoyment, its not fun. You will argue," Xinyi, it is because you havent step into a club thats why you dont know how it exactly feels" but look here, in 20 years down the road, because of the fun that you are attracted to, you will always go back to the fun that you always wanted. thats how addiction comes about. You get horny hormones going around you, and you know exactly where to get them satisfied. Similarly, you will crave for such fun. And this is the only reason why I havent step into a club. It is not about me not experience club, but I am actually resisting myself. And it hurts me if there is someone around me that actually likes to club. IT SHITTING HURTS LIKE CRAZY IN MY HEART AND IN GOD's EYES. SO STOP.

AND OF COURSE, I WENT ON HOLIDAYs
30 Nov to 4 Dec Hong Kong and Macau. (With Derick, Gavin and Stanley)
It's a wonderful place with lots of beautiful scenery, I shall let pictures speak for themselves:

.

Macau's famous pork bun $35 HKD

St Paul Memorial

We went to the Venetian

from the Lord's stow FAMOUS for their EGG TARTs

Gavin's uncles brought us to the peak of the rich people estate,after dinner,  to take a wonderful shot of the Macau's night skyline.

On the forth, I took a plane to Taiwan to meet my mum and dad
We went to stay near taipei zoo in the church's hostel. Soon, we started our journey to the entire taiwan on monday (7 DEC) to hualien> Guo Xiong> TaiZhong> Taipei.












5DEC2014: 猫空> 故宫(boring)> 石林夜市
6DEC2014:
Half Day tour:
NT80 台北市》野柳
NT2500 野柳》阴阳海》黄金瀑布》九分》十分

7DEC2014: TAIPEI> HUALIEN
we stayed at :
经典假日饭店
No. 139, Guolian 5th Road, Hualien City, Hualien County, Taiwan 97050
walking distance from the train station

Near by, there is a "coffeeshop" that sells nice beef dishes and side dishes. The lady boss cooks really well, and she is VERYＳＩＮＣＥＲＥ。I dont know how to express my thanks to her. And she really know how to please her customers. Out the roads, about 30 mins walk, they have wonderful goose rice. the shop name is called MR GOOSE （鹅先生） & also very nice Bolo bun (Pineapple)， BUT 太监鸡 NOT NICE

At 花莲 there are many things to do.
half tour $2100（太鲁阁）：清水断崖》太鲁关口 》 昆阳 》　太鲁阁大桥》七星潭

At 高雄，there isnt anything much.
THE HOTEL SUCKS
Shun Yu Business Hotel
Walking distance from the train station.
(got broken in, but everyone was safe and nothing was stolen), hotel food sucks.
But they are famous for their biggest 夜市，and their sea food there is the FRESHEST among the entire taiwan. BEST! Other than that, dont go there,

At Tai Zhong 台中：
They have wonder bus services called the BRT.
They have a few Branches of Kiwi  Hotel
but we stayed at :

台中市中區臺灣大道一段441號(原中正路253號)

Worth the money, big room, family size. 


And of course there is a difference between 火车 and 快铁。
火车: more scenery, longer distances, more stops and also about 3.5hrs
快铁: less scenery, drive through cities, 0-3 stops and about 1 hr.
快铁 is definitely more expensive compared to 火车

乌来: hot spring (赞）： Warm,not open air, worth the money, public pool. There are private ones, but dont really have to care, just enjoy the hot spring bath. 

五角船板: wonderful place to eat, abit costly. but the food WOW WOW WOW 9.5/10, about SGD90 for like 12 dishes, but thats also because we order 2 pax set meal. 


..... before I typed this finish, I broke up with Brandon.
