picture time!
My cute little cousin that i will definitely miss when going to Taipei... She's going to be 3 this year!
testing...
finally i've decided to set up a blog in view of my departure to Taipei in a week's time.. haha
meanwhile i shall figure out how to make nice blogskins that suits me and also figure out how to post pictures..
ok i'm quite an idiot at such things but since the internet has an abundance of information, i'm sure i'm able to find some self-help materials out there.. anyone out there can always give me feedback and also tips too.. :P
anyway my departure has onli really sunk into me the past week and i'm starting to get a little nervous.. about the packing and also.. well... going away for 5 months.. of course i'm also looking forward to having an adventure there.. it'll be a great experience and i know it.. juz that i might actually be overwhelmed by the amount of (traditional) chinese used.. i've been trying to prepare myself by making myself learn their pronunciation aid (the weird characters they use in place of hanyu pinyin) but so far i think i can only remember the first 5 letters and maybe my own name (or rather onli how to contruct one of the 2 words of my name).. ok bad progress but then i tend to get mix up with jap cos some of the letters are like the jap katakana.. it's like learning a whole new language altogether.. and i'm actually going to do korean there if nothing goes wrong.. hmm.. wonder if i'll get mixed up knowing so many languages.. and they are essentially pretty similar..
alright now back to attempting to personalize my blog now.. and figuring how to post pictures...
