Reminisces..
Pulau Ubin, 29 July 2011
Finger cross-ed..Next life..can I be a Kampong girl?
I don't mind not having beautiful clothes, I don't mind not having all the things I have right now.
I just want to lead a simple and carefree life.. ♥ ♥ ♥
I ♥ slow pace-d life..I want to slow down my footsteps every single day to admire beautiful things around me..
Ubin is a place mylate ah ma love to go..because she likes to recollect the good OLD days..life in "OLD house." Since young. I am always looking forward to...going Ubin. Everything feels so Yesterday whenever I step into Ubin..

Life is a long journey..full of bends..once you conquer a bend..there might be another ahead.
But as long as you persevere and brave it..soon..the road will be smooth again. 雨过都会是天清的:)

Heading back.. :(
Aww..I took 7 full hours to edit the pics on top + to upload the pics..I think my 4+ years old laptop is dying soon. I guess I really need sometime to blog about my Taiwan trip?
Anyway I still prefer going to slow pace-d countries! eg. Cambodia? Vietnam? Thailand???
Sad to say..Taiwan didn't really interest me :( ..especially Taipei. Their life is very hectic..just like us! Lol.

=(
Today suppose to be a happy and relaxing day..
...cycling at Ubin, enjoying the scenery, visit the villager's chief, uncle - at his place..and of course to visit "ZEC!!!"as usual.. - Our fav friend in Ubin..
Every time we go Ubin..we will cycle pass the villager's chief house..stop by to chat with him and to play with his pet "ZEC"!ZEC understands Hokkien :)
>
When we cycle over to the villager's chief house today..We realize ZEC's house was empty! :(

Zec is no longer on earth..
:( Rest in peace Zec! You are missed by ME..and of course everyone in the village.
Now that you are no longer around..I don't see the point of visiting Ubin anymore :(
Chief uncle is no longer sitting outside his house chatting with visitors..because Zec is no longer around to accompany him. He would rather rest inside his house alone..
Aww.. life is so fragile! I hate goodbyes so much! Totally not in the mood to do anything.
<
I ask uncle..why he didn't catch another wild boar to put in Zec's house to accompany him...
He say is hard to catch..
But I guess deep down..he must be thinking..No other wild boar can replace Zec in his heart? :(

Perhaps "Life is too ironic to fully understand?
It takes sadness to know happiness. Noises to appreciate silence. And absence to value Presence." It takes goodbyes to realize how much you "love/miss/wish to do more for" somebody ba.. :) Before is too late..meet the person you wish to meet! :)Remember..Goodbyes do not have warning :)

(In this post - Brief introduction of "before" the trip preparation + JetStar only..)
<
This is my first time backpacking, taking budget airline (JetStar), staying in hostel (Sharing a room with so many people), making and seeing my own "孔明灯" fly up to the sky (eng - wishing/sky lantern), see fireflies, go water rafting and of course..my first time going overseas with my big tree boyfriend! :) hehe..I realise many people keep calling my boyfriend "Big Tree" in my formspring.. that's so cute :))
>
Anyway..you must be thinking I brought my whole wardrobe of clothes over to Taiwan right? Because is 12 days 11 nights?

Tadah..
I brought 4 sets of clothes only ..because I assume I will "sure" buy clothes when I reach Taiwan. -__-" In fact..Most of us only brought 4 sets of clothes over..misconception..
so we end up have to use the washing machine in the hostel to wash our clothes. Fun much! :) repeating our clothes too..lols.

Ignore my "ah ma's" specs casing in the pic above. I can't find any at home.. That's why I have to use that :( ..throughout the trip I have been hiding my specs casing under my pillow :( Hope no one notice it.. hehe.
Anyway I didn't find any cheap and nice clothes in Taiwan.. and those cheap ones are those I don't like..boo!

I manage to squeeze everything (in the pic above) into the black bag..
so where this black bag go?
so where this black bag go?
There! Yup..
Can you imagine how "little" things I brought over to Taiwan?
But I don't know why my bf's bag still so heavy! :( Maybe is because he brought jeans over to Taiwan? :p So not my fault?.. + my hair dryer only :p hehe.
I put my red sling bag into the samsonite bag and carry myself..

Terminal 1 :)
We were both very excited about the trip :))
Me and Abby :)
My boyfriend's bag...9.9kg! Filled with my clothes and his. plus Soap, Shampoo and all.
My bag is 1kg or less? Lol :( My bf ask me not to bring the Samsonite bag..because he wants me to fully enjoy the trip..who likes carrying heavy bag & walking around right?, he want to carry everything for me. But I say since it's a backpack-ing trip..I insist to carry a backpack -__-" Actually I wanted to help him share his load that's why I carry the samsonite bag over..but he refused to let me help him throughout the trip :(
Super heavy :(
We took JetStar :)
Have to book the tickets and pay online then print the confirmation to collect the air tickets on departure date. Surprisingly we depart from Terminal One. Not budget airline Terminal?

Seat allocated..I thought since it's budget airline. We will sit "free and easy." lol.
JetStar is so much better than what I expect-ed :))
8 of us backpacking to Taiwan :)
KaiQi, SheeLing, XuanYu, WeiYang, Abby, Me, Bf and WeiLeong.
(above pic) Looks like my brother's toy car..lol.
Whee..As usual. I am always at the window sit :) I love to see the clouds and the beautiful scenery :)
Spot the tiny JetStar plane! :)
Pretty orange-G sky :)
so beautiful :)
Jetstar plane is very small compare to SIA plane..6 sits in a row only!..
I was shock-ed when I got in. Anyway I am taking TigerAirways for my Bangkok trip. Let's see which budget airline is better :)
