...wandering notes...: 18th and 19th sept

18th sept
was spent in the hotel room 'cos it was red alert... and it was dangerous to go out.... and i was cooped in the hotel room watching devastating news on tv.
typhoon waipa was hitting taiwan full steam... and floods at other county looked scary... gushing water overflooding water beds, people threading thru water up to chest level?
AND one horrific news. METAL GATES at Yangmingshan was gnashed to....like crippled? Imagine taking a piece of paper and crushing it. That was the picture of the gates that were presented on air. Blardy scary. To think we were there just yesterday...heng ah! 大难不死，必有后福！HUAT AH!

19th Sept - CKS Memorial Hall, MaoKong, Wufenpu

CKS Memorial Hall

Don't even think of LOL! Who wanna guess what I am doing?! Hint: Look at whats written on top of my head..

And then we got bored....and decided to try something that i ALWAYS used to do:
StarJumps!
Jump#1 - too late!

Jump#2 - too early!

Jump#3 - jump finish already!

Jump#4 - just in time!

Then we decided to change styles:
NG#1

NG#2

NG#3

NG#4

Good take -

Dunno will kena sued anot...cos doing starjumps in front of a memorial hall doesnt seems to be prim and proper behaviour?Hmmmmm

After a string of jumps, we got tired and decided to call it a day...and we went for food! We took the MRT to Gong Guan...had KFC and!! Went to NTU! My SCHOOL! No la, not Nanyang Technological University, but National Taiwan University (NTU - 台大） the BEST University in Taiwan.
A walk into the campus made me feel....relaxed. The past few days left me miserable.....'cos the weather was freaking bad and worrying.... 'cos missus here has never been stuck in a typhoon before... and leaving US was a very sad thing. It reminded me of my ended fairytale, and that I have to face 'adult life' when I go back to Singapore - welcome to the the real world...where adults scheme against one another - PUI!
After NTU, we went to Maokong. There was this story behind this maokong place. Maokong(猫空） which translates to "empty cats" in English. This place is a land where people plant tea leaves, grow them, and harvest them....I also can't remember why in the end there were no more cats left... heh heh *sheepish* missus here getting senile. But I saw some dogs here! haha!
And ONE cat!
