finally it's the 3 of us!

Adrian has finally made his appearance in NCCU! haha.. kinda looking forward to his arrival and his reaction to everything here.. and the first thing we did after we met up wif him was to go eat 麻辣火鍋.. god it's really hot.. but it's fun eating and torturing myself.. haha.. my face totally turned red! but well am proud to say i've conquered 麻辣火鍋 for a 2nd time! it feels better to eat it in such cold weather rather than in summer i guess..

anyway yesterday was 元宵節, hope everyone has a great time watching fireworks and eating 湯圓。my mum actually asked me to go eat 湯圓 but i was too busy releasing 天燈 to remember haha.. yes the 天燈 that caused CKS airport to be closed and flights delayed cos some ppl haf to brains and decided to release them near the airport and caused a forest fire.. sigh.. it's a first time i heard of such an incident.. sounds really silly.. i think it also caused some traffic accident and it's like the 1st time in dunno how long.. juz really crappy.. hmm.. literally playing with fire..

well we had more brains so my nice roomie brought us to this place in 台北縣 called 平溪 where they haf this 天燈會 and tens of thousands of ppl go there to release these lanterns together.. suppose to write ur wishes on the lantern and if u successfully release it (ie it is not burnt!) the wishes will come true.. well it's really beautiful when there are like hundreds of these lanterns in the dark sky at the same time.. like fireflies dotting the skyline.. and the 3 of us succesfully "launched" a 天燈 into the sky!

after which we were really hungry and so we went to the 1st 夜市 since i came to taipei. 臨江街夜市. quite a lot of things to shop lah i also din find anything that especially catches my one.. jus that i'm quite amazed that i can actually find charles and keith shoes in the 夜市 and hanyu act bought a pair of charles and keith heels.. haha.. dunno why i act find that amusing.. charles and keith in Taiwan..

anyway today is first day of sch.. had one lesson.. being good students we arrived really early and waited for the teacher to come.. then when students come streaming into the classroom, we heard quite horrible things abt the teacher like how his hong kong accent is very strong and him being hard to understand.. some of them took his class last sem and felt they din learn much from him.. and true enough he was really pretty hard to comprehend.. but good thing is he's quite slack and he act wans us to read reference books in english and do a book review in english too! the next classroom also having the same mod but by another teacher and it was pretty full while attendance on this end was like 10 students.. plus next door seem to be having fun while i was falling asleep in the class listening to him talk abt his daughter, his wife, his books.. blah blah.. well boasting knows no boundaries.. and best thing is we already haf an assignment coming up.. attend a speech by guest speaker Prof Eddie Kuo (who is from NTU!!) next monday and write a report..
