While waiting for Tim at 西門酊 a week ago... Couldn't help to pick up on the route Kai, Yan and Singwei used to walk a year ago.
Everything was still the same. The graffiti that we once admired at, the stores that we used to stop by...
But you guys weren't here.
Felt abit lost when i almost turn around wanting to get an opinion on something, only to realise that nobody will hold my hand, or wait patiently for me this time round.
Maybe i'll get used to traveling on my own after a while.

as we watch the planes take off
We both know we have no clear answer to where my dreams may lead
She's watched me as i crawled and stumbled
As a child, she was my world
And now to let me go, I know she bleeds
and yet she says to me
You can fly so high
Keep your gaze upon the sky
I'll be prayin every step along the way
Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart
I love you too much to make you stay
Baby fly away
Autumn leaves fell into spring time and
SIlver-painted hair
Daddy called one evening saying
"We need you. Please come back"
When I saw her laying in her bed
Fragile as a child
Pale just like an angel taking flight
I held her as I cried
You can fly so high
Keep your gaze upon the sky
I'll be prayin every step along the way
Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart
I love you too much to make you stay
Baby fly away
ohh...
I love you too much to make you stay
Baby fly away
Corrinne May - Fly Away
I'll be home on 5th September instead...
Fly away
"When will you be home?" she asks
as we watch the planes take off
We both know we have no clear answer to where my dreams may lead
She's watched me as i crawled and stumbled
As a child, she was my world
And now to let me go, I know she bleeds
and yet she says to me
You can fly so high

I'll be prayin every step along the way

I've never ever drank so much (at least 10 cups of beer), puke twice and walk back to my seat without anyone to help, still head over to KTV then back home, bathe and typing these... All Sober and clear.
Actually i'm still trying to drink some milk to help myself 酒醒.
But i guess alcohol really help magnify every emotions that you're having at that very moment.
I almost tear when i heard one of my colleague calling up Merisa when i was half-drunk toasting everybody in my table (there were 2 table to toast!) to inform her that i'm in 'good hands.
Don't get me wrong, I've certainly enjoyed their 'warm' hospitality despite their contsant sarcasm. I really appreciate the chance of working in Taipei for such a long period. I'm still deeply in love with the whole country's culture. I just can't help feeling weak when i hear Merisa's name cause i felt so lonely without them.
I've also realised the damges of staying in my comfort zone almost all my life.
Well... 13 more days to my return to Singapore.
13 more days to grow up.
It's now or never.
Sidenote:
The trail of destruction left by the typhoon is really devasting. I can't thank God enough for keeping us safe in Taipie cause the constant image of people crying, houses being blow away really break my heart. But the nation has been very united and have all raising funds for the victims within a short notice. Something that i really love about the taiwaneses... Their passion.
酒後心聲
Just came back from a welcome dinner held by my most passionate colleagues in Taipei.
I've never ever drank so much (at least 10 cups of beer), puke twice and walk back to my seat without anyone to help, still head over to KTV then back home, bathe and typing these... All Sober and clear.

All pack up and having my usual 'silent moment' before i leave for Taipei for the next 20 days in less than 12 hours.
Though it's not the first time already but i'm still so nervous... I've never leave my beloved for so long.
Nervous because we've known each other's personality (& flaws) and didn't want to be hurt again.
And nervous because i have to leave my comfort zone, without my colleagues' guidance, my friends and laopo's support, and my Kai's loyal company.
It also suddenly occur to me that this will be the 1st time i won't be able to celebrate national day too... Something that i don't really care... Until now.
It suddenly dawned on me how much i've took the people and events around me how granted.
How blessed i am to have my colleagues guidance, their hugs and advice when i'm leaving. How blessed i am to have my Pa caring for my 1st long stay in a foreign land, to have friends calling/sms-ing me up to tell me to jiayou, and Kai to apply leave and spend the last few hours with me before i leave.
I supposed it's a blessing in disguise, an opportunity to really discover myself, and all the little things around me. That i'm not that alone after all.
I really look forward to traveling around taipei, immensing into the taiwan culture, visiting hong kong the first time of my life, getting 1st hand experience on how taiwan showbiz operates... And ultimately, to a better, mature me at the end of the journey.
I'll do you guys proud, and really enjoy this chance granted to me by God.
And i'll pray earnestly, for Your wisdom and faith to accompanied me through the whole journey..
Here i am again.
