*lingliusqie has been revived!*


ok now that we have gotten that out of the way, i can share wif all of u wad i've been up to for the past few weeks:

What has ZY been up to?
i guess it all has to start with the taiwan trip. well i can't be bothered to upload the photos one by one onto the blog so if interested can check out facebook :)
taiwan trip was pretty fun. we were on a bus trip so i was on the bus most of the time. saw a lot of mountains, roads, cars... when we did stop we went to shop and eat :D the chou tofu wasn't too smelly and i liked all the street markets cos they had a carnival-atmosphere. of course, we had to contend wif the crowds and we kinda resorted to rugby tactics to stay as a group.
the taiwan dollar is 1/20th that of one sing dollar so it was pretty fun doing the division cos the cost gets cheaper. also, the gds are pretty cheaply priced so i managed to buy a shirt and a new bag. that was my view of taiwan in general, so here are a few specific moments from my trip:

-On the bus-
ZY: (looking into the mountains) hey, what's that tall tower thing?
ZH: that looks like a control tower
ZY: hmm it's pretty tall.

-Half an hour later-
We walk into the amusement park, our destination, and realise that the tall tower thing is actually an amusement ride called the gyro drop. it is pretty tall. did i mention that before?
anyway the tour guide uses our bravado to his advantage to sabo us to take the ride. i also have a fear of heights. yay.

this fear of heights was drastically diminished when i realised that most of the people taking the ride were little kids. there was *no way* i could look more frightened than the 8 yr old next to me. the kids brokered deals on who got wad if some don't make it back... i think some of them seriously thought it was a life-or-death affair... and we lifted off! thing is designed so that it looks like a giant ufo has kidnapped all of us! slowly, the ppl on the ground start to look like ants...

we finally reach the top and the ride thoughtfully gives us a few seconds to admire the scenery and our own mortality before it drops us in freefall all the way down. i *may* have screamed. if i did, i conveniently choose to believe otherwise. our fall is finally cushioned as we reach the ground. as we stop, air rushes down to fill the vacuum. pretty cool, huh. while my bro and i were still sitting there stunned the kids rushed off to their friends. as we left i spotted this kid who took the ride, staring intensely at this other boy who didn't. a wave of emotion overcame the both of them and they hugged each other tightly. a tender moment indeed.

besides that we also spotted Nono, who took our very same flight home! he arrived in s'pore to grace the star awards =_=

reaching home, my parents shifted from holiday mode to house clean-up mode, dragging my bro and i into cleaning the house... i've been at it for only like 4 days and i'm dead-beat. our jobs ranged from cleaning the outside walls to painting the outside walls. thankfully we had this super jet gun thing that shoots super pressurized water and destroys everything in its path. quite fun to use it actually. but the resultant shrapnel... :O along the way i have uncovered horrific bundles of dirt beneath drain covers, in the corners of walls, in areas untouched by the sun. also, i have battled mosquitoes and spiders and weird creepy crawlies that are probably unclassified as yet. i also saw squirrels :) they try to eat the bananas in the kitchen.

so that, in a nutshell, is wad ZY has been up to. ZY is now waiting for other ppl to post on the blog =_=. the end.
