it's a public holiday today!!

清明時節雨分分
路上行人一端魂
耤問酒家何處有
and i forgot the last freaking line.

hur hur hur... ah well, not like the people who read the blog actually understand what i wrote. (it's a poem i learnt since young so SOME might know and spot the 'spelling' mistakes la) oh yes, until today, i still make people laugh coz of the silly mistakes i make while trying to write in mandarin. you know how certain words have same pronounciation but totally different meaning? apparently, they never had so much fun with a presentation before. ptui!!

so yes, relationship with colleagues have never been better. now as long as there's a word mistake, it's on me.... sigh... oh what the hell.

so anyways, updates from up here in taiwan, everything's going a-ok for now. maybe the fact that i'm still living on my previous savings make it seem easier but once that fund runs out, methinks i'm gonna have to work part time. i'm actually contemplating starting an adult english tuition group with a taiwanese friend of mine who studied in Houston before and is quite keen on co-teaching. so... that's the plan for the rest of the yr.

oh, peter and i have our eye on this new apartment 60 STEPS from my office (save on transportation fees.. keke.. and maybe even lunch since i can pop home to cook, but what are the odds of that happening?? let's seeeeee.....) it's much bigger than our current place and most importantly, there's definately gonna be enough space for the girls to run about especially when they get bigger. brandy's already as long as her cage and her ears kinda stick out so we HAVE to get them out of their cages ASAP. only problem we have now is the current place we're living in isn't dog proof. (just think of poor mojo's wires being chewed up by whiskey)

btw, i love the new place coz it's really nicely maintained and it's furnitureless! which means i'm gonna be able to get my own stuff and decorate the place the way i want it too! the master bedroom has enough space for the bed, the huge cupboard and my pole so the spare room can be used as an office/guest room/sub rented room. so we'll see what happens when the need arises.

so we're prolly moving earliest mid april if the landlord agrees to our bargained price. we've paid a refundable deposit though and the agent will talk to the landlord for us. let's all cross our fingers and paws!!

that said, it's time to really start saving up coz the rent's almost doubled and my pay isn't moving. i can't wait to start taking on projects of my own and getting the fucking commission. i need the mooolah.

yes, pris says i'm almost married. dee says she can't imagine me doing what i'm doing here and not what she remembers me as bk in sg. the rest just have to COME AND FUCKING VISIT ME!
oh! sharon touches down today!! yay!!

i'm still the same, i still need alcohol and sometimes crave a little ciggiebreak but i'm good for now. oh! i swear less since i hardly swear in mandarin cept for 他媽的 and because my reaction in mandarin is usually slower, i make less sordid remarks so in my colleagues's eyes, i'm... hahaha... very decent! oh if they only knew...

i'm grounded, i'm stable, i'm adapting, i'm learning, and most of all, i'm happy.

till the next time i have a chance and am not too tired to log back on, adios and i miss u all.. muakz!~
