经济不景气的受害者

it's such an irony that i just did this news feature on the job market for graduates, and now i'm facing more or less the same situation as them. (listen to feature here.)

somehow i feel i've never been so vexed before. 困っている、悩んでいる。maybe i've been too blessed my whole life.

on a lighter note, pictures from East Coast Park outing yesterday.

bicycle learning and kite flying. one tiny step closer to learning to bike. maybe with a little bit more practice, i would be able to bike liao.. yeah!



my tiny kite which had been complained to be hard to fly, made it into the sky without much effort at all. what an easy kite flying experience. but while keeping the kite, it actually fell into the sea. oops! picture: my kite flying companion and bike instructor, Xin Pei.

the double bike that brought us to Bedok Jetty. Can't ride in my own yet LAH.


This weird old man paddling his way around the jetty on a makeshift raft. And i heard someone saying "Eh see Mas Selamat". Actually that was my first tot too. Haha!

One of the numerous ppl netting fishes out of the sea there. Wonder what they can catch?


Some white tiny fish called Gekgek. Dunno how to spell but it sounds like 假假 in Hokkien. Ha if you know what i mean. The tiny ones will be thrown back into the sea. They will only keep and eat the larger ones. Hmmm...

the many updates to be made...

my last post was about going overseas.. and I've been back for almost a month from the trip! OMG time seriously flies. That means that life have been busy and occupied for me. that's good.

Taiwan trip was great! So nice to be back in Taiwan again after my exchange stint 3 years ago. Things did not seem to have changed much. Meeting my Taiwanese frens was the best part of the trip.

TRIP HIGHLIGHTS

The reason why we were in Taiwan in the first place. Youth Film Festival of Taiwan.

Before heading to Kaohsiung, a stopover at Taichung 逢甲夜市 to try their famous 大肠包小肠。in picture, the delicacy from 2 rival stalls located right opposite each other but each still had long queues and their own set of supporters.

Next stop: Sunny Kenting for some water games. Not foregetting to get sunburnt in the process.

After an activity packed, adrenaline rushing afternoon, it's off to 关山 to admire the sunset.

Back in Kaohsiung, we decided to find out what 槟榔 taste like. Verdict: Taste raw and makes my mouth numb and red. Not very nice but it's acceptable taste.

Finally back in Taipei. Gathering with my Taiwanese friends!

Going back to 政大 for the breakfast I missed so much! 古早味的蛋饼、萝卜糕加蛋、饭团和红茶豆浆！Yum yum!

And since we were back in 政大，a little tour of the place for Shunyi and a little walk down memory lane for myself.

And what else did we do in Taipei? Shop and go 夜市 of course! Above is 公馆夜市。We also were at 师大夜市、饶河夜市 and 士林夜市。4 夜市 in 3 nights. haha!

Little thing to share. After being shown at IDFA, New Zealand Human Rights Film Fest and the Youth Film Festival in Kaohsiung, H.O.P.E. will be shown in Mexico at the Monterrey Film Fest in August and also in Greece at the Kos Health Film Festival in September! Yeah! Tho I won't be able to make it to either fest, but it's still a happy occasion.
