July, july..

Yeap, obviously July always has something sweet to ponder for as long as I can remember. It always happened that July is the one month I spent the time out (a lot) with another human being.

July – is where I come to meet up with my posse every weekend of the month.

July 1

in the club or over some coffee table for never ending hot, steamy, mind disturbing issues behind each other’s shell. “Luncheon with the best” according to Linda. Best friends & best food, followed with the best shopping spree with these lovelies is THE BEST moment I ever had in 2011. I swear that I am willing to give up multiple orgasm for this moment. That’s the best way to describe this, I guess.

sale

Experiencing Malaysia on big sale with girlfriends.

A week before that I was at BlackCat Tatto Studio, Sunway to watch a young friend to get his 1st ever ink. It was my 1st experience to watch the process from shaving his chest until he put back on his shirt. I still can’t believe that he got his chest stained with colors even though he told me about it 4 months ago, even before his birthday. I never knew it was the day. Luckily I always bring my Big Boi around, so I manage to capture t(his) memorable day. I don’t know why I was a bit sad about it (this explain why his old man will strangle him back in Seoul, someday), but since it was very meaningful to him. So I just sat there and watch it done.

I never knew someone so up close in making decision for something permanent looks so easy. Or, maybe because he’s still young. It is normal for me to be surrounded with people who is gambling or always on “try & error” before they reach the decision of doing something for themselves, mine included. In fact, I was so believed that deciding on something permanent is never a big deal and zero regrets. Because it always something to do with what you want, straight from your heart and of course, meaningful thus, makes you happy. I thought I did it once, decided on something that I thought it’s going to be permanent, but turned out that it only lasted for a year. Pathetic.

Or, to some people - it is worth the pain & agony to have a mark, any marks in their life. I dont have tattoo, that tells story about me, but I do have few irremovable “scars” in me. It is not something that I want but I guess that is how universe has arranged it for me, and it makes me, me -  the one that I am now.

We've a long time together, me and you
I expect I'll regret you
But the skin graft man won't get you
You'll be there when I die

I scheduled my life that I got to leave this country for a few days, thrice in a year and tried to make vacation part of me. You know being adult is a stressful job but never used it as an excuse. People keep telling me that my life is easy just because I am “single”- less responsibility, more time, extra space. Man, that is the most prejudice accusation that I always get. What defines “single” and “coupled” or “married” or “partnered” ? Peoples keep whining to me that they have to send their kids to school & extra class all year round, bearing certain household expenses alone and no time to enjoy the tv-couch moment with their loved ones – that sounds pretty much single to me. I don’t know why these peoples unable to tell the difference between life sharing and being a door mat. Holding hands, sharing that king size bed & blanket, making babies and all other stuff is not a life sharing until you share all the stuff that makes you whine! And if you really SHARE with your partner, other half, bf, what ever you want to define him/her, then other people who is not sharing life with you won’t be able to hear your whine at the 1st place. Geddit? SO – WHOEVER WHINE THE MOST IS SINGLE TO ME. ..and this is what single people do;

 

single 1

We left the house for few days and sleep somewhere else in the city with our favorite person. (if you have kids, leave them to your partner/bf/husband)

single2

We do the cupcakes toast on the bed after coming back from stressful work. We eat all sinful food and gained few kilos along the stay but still feel great about it. (If your partner/bf/husband complaints, just slap him on his mouth)

single3

We spent ridiculous amount of money on frappucino with the girlfriends over the weekends and talk about clothes, skincare, shoes, penis and how easy our single life is. (Your partner/bf/husband do this all the time it just they have quite different topics – soccer, boobs and alcohol)

faces horz

…and we camwhore a lot because we feel good about our face & hair.

 

Oh, anyway, I wanna thank my girlfriend who invited me to a vacation in the city from Wednesday till Saturday on 3rd week of July. I owe you much love.

dawn

I sent my resignation letter on 15th July and heading to a place that I finally able to do something that I love. July~ I got to know that my dream guy is finally coming  - it makes my heart sing..

July… July… I lived my teenage dream in this July too. I never imagined that I ever experience teenage dream come to live at this age where I can hardly see dreams in my sleep. It was the sweetest and I am more than ready to move forward to the next phase of life and embrace to whatever may come. Never looked back. Thanks boo.

Today, it has been a year since I lost you…and now I am smiling.. how I wish you knew.

July 2011- I am all healed.

Another Taiwan post on lazy weekend

Im drifting away from this blog and not really feels good about it. I managed to write somewhere else on daily basis to someone, but not in here. Too bad, I have more personal issues to write about compare to general one :) Blog is nothing like Facebook. It’s so easy to do ridiculous amount of update on Facebook. 1  album with full of edited pictures can tell thousand stories, single line of update already enough to tell people what’s your day gonna be or has been and a paste of Youtube’s link on any particular song tells people that your heart is singing.

So here I am, on lazy weekend and I swear, I manage to get on here because I really didn’t do anything today. No laundry, no floor sweeping, no shower (!!!!!). Just like Bruno Mars’s “The Lazy Song” but minus the line “Turn on the TV and throw my hand in my pants”.

Last week I went back to my hometown to meet the cutest thing in the family.

syabil lokman

Meet my grand nephew, Syabil Lokman, 8 months old. He is huge, he is chubby, he is a new generation of cam whore item. And thank you for the sore on my both arms and back pain. You are forgiven.

My grand nephew is cuter than yours 7

Yeap. My grand nephew is cuter than yours.

and another non related update to the title of the post, I feel the need to put up this picture taken yesterday during my office’s makan-makan. This picture made me looks like 6 feet tall and I loves it.

Back to Taiwan trip update. Damn, I totally forgot which is what already. I dont really remember which was the exact place we went and what day. Terrible! Oh ok.. after looking back at albums uploaded on Facebook, now I remember~! We left Taoyuan and headed to Nantou to visit Sun Moon Lake, then Visit WenWu Temple, Peacock Garden and the most awesome and the largest night market in Taiwan : Feng Chia Night Market. And I remember the greatest part of the whole trip is this.. night market. I can stay in that night market forever!

So, this is basically the route we took on our 2nd day trip;

taiwan_map

We crossed 5 districts in 1 day! Not bad!! First time visit Taiwan and I visited (or passed by) few districts can be considered awesome compared to those who stay for few days in Taipei alone and do nothing but eating stinky, smelly Tofu! You and your trip, stink big time! Haha! What is so good about stinky tofu anyway? I think I can do it at home, here in my apartment. Just take the tofu, marinate it inside my toilet bowl with my stool for couple of days, and walla~! It’s ready for you to enjoy.

taiwan-2nd day

Day 2: Morning. We woke up kinda late and no appetite for breakfast. Not with lousy plain rice porridge. Eeeuuww. I rather eat that garlic bread I bought the night before. And again, it was a rainy day.

Taiwan! 135 

..and lucky me I had a box full of favorite types of cookies that I bought from Milk Houses.

Taiwan! 38

So we passed by mountains and forests..and mountains again… The journey took around 3 hours so I fell asleep few times due to the boredom. I forgot to bring my iPod and the only latest song I have inside my mobile is;

Taiwan! 118

sigh..

We made a few stop for public toilet and some shop which were listed inside our tour itinerary (boring!!!!) and finally arrived at Nantou by afternoon.

Taiwan! 43

and had my vegetarian lunch.

 Taiwan! 46

Taiwan! 48

Yuck! I can never be a vegetarian! This is weird.. I can eat raw veggies or even grass. But not this. Hhmmmm..

Taiwan! 49

I tell you, that plain white rice taste even better :( *grunts*

Taiwan! 44

That is expensive banana. Even my hair band which I got at Ximen Ting is cheaper than that.. well.. touristy spot..

Taiwan! 50

Spot anything cute?

Taiwan! 51

Finally we at the pier and ready for our Sun Moon Lake tour.

Sun Moon Lake, situated in Nantou County’s Yuchih Township, in the center of Taiwan, and is the island’s largest lake. The eastern part of the lake is round like the sun and the western side is shaped like a crescent moon, hence the name “Sun Moon Lake”.

Taiwan! 54

I dont understand a word. It seems like we only went to the moon part.

Taiwan! 56

The Pier.

Taiwan! 57

It was so foggy (again) and I couldnt capture the beauty of the lake. It suppose to look like this if you come during autumn;

Taiwan! 62

Too frustrated with the rainy, foggy day, so I decided to camwhore along the way. It’s the only thing that my camera able to capture. My face.

Taiwan! 63

We arrived at the small island and climb up to see Syuenguang and Syuentzang Temples. The pathway to the temple is so beautiful.. I swear I took hundreds of photos of it. Here are some of them;

Taiwan! 76

Taiwan! 69

Taiwan! 73

Taiwan! 71

Taiwan! 85

It is a small and the most beautiful temple I ever been to. It feels like Im above the clouds just like the old ancient Chinese Goddess story.

Syuenguang and Syuentzang Temples worship (enshrine) the relics of the great monk Syuan-zang. He was born in Tang Dynasty about 1600 years ago. His great achievement was that he went to India to study Buddhism and brought back a lot of books about Buddhism. Moreover, he translated those books written in Sanskrit (梵文) to Chinese language. He indeed made a great contribution to the development of Buddhism in China and other Asian countries. (Source)

Taiwan! 77

View from the temple. Just imagine if it’s without the fog..

Taiwan! 84

Taiwan! 83

Taiwan! 79

Wishes and prayers..

Taiwan! 81

Taiwan! 78

Oh I wish that the sign to heaven as this easy. “Heaven, this way miss”

Taiwan! 98

In Taiwan, cute dog go to temple too! God Bless cute animals.

Taiwan! 89

You can straight go for hiking after the prayer. If you fall down and die during the hiking, you die as a holy man.

Taiwan! 93

Landscape behind the temple.

Taiwan! 96

Wait a minute! How on earth those cars could get until this point? *scratch my head* Im not above the clouds like old ancient Chinese Goddess story after all! Urrgghh. *dream crashed down*

Im too frustrated with the fact that those cars manage to come up to this hill! Why not our tour guide drove us up here with the van then!!!! Why I must pay for that ferry ticket???? Cheater!

This post end abruptly here. I hate this trip. Continue some other time with Wenwu Temple, Peacock garden and night market.

Tata.
