Trip Blog : The Day I In Taiwan

*god damn long, pay your patience if you would like to finish all*

Yes, I'm back from Taiwan.
I escaped to a colder place for 9 days,
It is average 18'C for the 9 days expect the day at 清境 which only 6.5'C
The freaking cold temperature definitely a great experience for me.
The happening from I arrived Taiwan till I left Taiwan was amazing fast.
I have a lot of thoughts when I reached there
and this is the reason why I want to blog it down
I would like to remind me myself.
I finally knew why people said travelling able to broaden our view and mindset.
I suffered some culture shock when I reached Taiwan although I'm Chinese

First of all, all of the signboard was in Chinese words which makes me feel so not used to it.
We used to see English or Malay words in our signboard and here makes me feel so not used to it.
Second one will be the weather in Taiwan as Taiwan is having their winter right now
While we are summer all the time. *ilikecoldweather*
Thirdly is the different handed traffic which cause some troublesome when we crossing the road
We are left hand traffic while Taiwan is right hand traffic.
Fourthly, I do have some minor communication barrier as different words used in both country
Such as pendrive, In Malaysia we used to called it as pendrive, but they got no idea on the words
As they used 随身碟 which I will understand it as external harddisk
Next, the civic thinking on there was much much stronger than us
They queue all the time, gave seats to older, follow the rules such as no drinking and no smoking
which we need to learn from them,
Besides this, the people are so nice, helpful yet manner.
They are so helpful to solve our doubt during our trip.
Frankly, this unlikely happen in Malaysia, there are but not much.
Here the ends of the culture shock I suffered during the trips

Here my thoughts during the trip
I have a lots of inspirations during the trips
It's about dreams, youngsters, rally, Citizen of China, foods and shopping

Dreams
I heard a raper having street performances at 西门町
He said he had been performed for 7 years however he unable to get support from his parents
He would just wish to able to out an album or EP but till now still unable to make it.
While hearing his rap, Im start thinking about dreams and reality.
Every people have their dreams and they would like to master it
But how many successfully master it.
Perhaps the person I mentioned he able to gather some money as a busker for his daily life expenses
But how about when getting bigger??
But I feel so inspired by him as he still so passionate to chase his dream although its had been 7 years long
A lot of people will start forget their dream after tired and exhausted chasing their dreams
They choose start their works for his saving and future family perhaps.

In my cruel thought, dreams need support by money
No matter who, we have to face reality *pessimistic thinking*
After long thinking, I questioned myself, What is my dream?
Well, it takes some time for me to think of it.
I have a dream, and the dream is align with the reality
I would like to travel overseas, while travel needs a lot money to support *asisaid*
I would conclude, People must dare to dream, but still need to know the reality that around us but not blindly  to chase your dream.
I would wish the buskers able to achieve their dream.

Youngsters
Meet a lot of youngsters at Taiwan
I have to say, I envy them to the max as almost their skin condition are good yet they are so fair and have high sense of fashion
Besides that, they have a lot of places to go during the noon or night *incity*
Different of night market and business district with a wide coverage of bus and MRT.
It is convenient to the max for you to choose to go which night market.
I would say their mindset is much more open compare to here
Everyone dyed their hair and have a lot of some weirdo colour i saw as well *winterbreak*
However quite a big number of youngsters smoke as well no matter boys or girls
I think number of smokers among youngsters is lesser.
However, we have some conversation with the aunty uncles,
They complain that the youngsters now was only know play,shop and loitering
and they were worrying with them as they do not concern about the happening in their country
In my observation, the youngster sense of crisis might be lower.
But i got no idea on the matter as Im just at there for 9 days
But what i can conclude is their civic thinking is much better than us
But Malaysian Youngsters will have a higher sense of crisis and also understand the happening around us

Rally
It is definitely lucky to see a rally happen nearby 中正纪念堂
We just go there only realize they are having rally
When we went there, it is almost half of the rally
We watch the rally till the end,
It ends in a super peaceful way
Police got no take any action yet the demonstrator back in order,
There are people collect the flag and the rally item in a place to minimize the creating the rubbish
When the people leave, the place was still so clean
I never participate the rally in Malaysia, thus comparison made according to my understanding.
I would say the politician in Taiwan will be more steady and open mind to receive criticize
The demonstrator in Taiwan will be much better compare to Malaysia as from news, I would saw some will stay on the place to pick up the rubbish.
But then the number of demonstrator in Malaysia will be higher but the theme is kinda different.
Taiwanese rally is about 电力公司, while recently Malaysia one is about the fairness of election
The coverage for the rally from Taiwan is smaller compare to Malaysia.

Citizen of China
After there are direct flight between China and Taiwan
There are a lot China tourists at Taiwan
Most of them were come with tour
Thus we mostly meet up at the place where is tour hot spot
They were in a so huge people come over here
While their civic was pretty bad as well
It is much worse than Malaysia at least from what I saw in Taiwan
I would apologize if offended anyone here
They just speak loud in the public, cut the queue, occupy the shooting hot spot
In my view, they are so self-centered
It is definitely a big contrast between citizen of China and Taiwan
The civic, the manner, the attitude was a big different
This is what would China Government need to take more attention on the matter
The tourists reflect a lot to the country while the country will be tagged on those bad habit
It happen on the airport when a China cut queue then the people who queuing directly say it's from China
It is not a good sign at all especially when your country was developing so hard

Food and shopping
Here is the paradise of foods and shopping.
No doubt there are a lots of nice foods but the pricing was slightly high
However there are some foods that they think it is nice but i got no idea why it is nice such as 阿给
I almost spend near 500 NTD for my 3 meals everyday
It is high as we have to try as most food as we can within this 8 days
Thus every night market we eat around 7 to 8 types of food while we only 2 person to share the foods
I'm so miss the food at there right now 大肠包小肠，营养三名字，阿忠面线，芋圆，八宝冰
All of those food must try, you will not regret on it
There are some foods I havent try and wish able to try next time such as 牛肉面，臭豆腐
Shopping at taiwan was so happy as long as you have a lot of $$ or otherwise it will be very suffer
Even my friend who not shopaholic also became shopaholic after back from there
The night market and business district there was so so awesome
五分埔，西门町，士林，逢甲 is the must go place for shopping
There are people mountain people sea yet unlikely packed like sardin as the road was so wide
It is kind of convenient for us to shop
The things at there are cheap, new yet the service are pretty awesome.
They serve people in a much polite yet passionate way which makes you unlikely to reject them
Perhaps their tactics? But I prefer in this way compare to HK where I being murmur once I touch their things

There is my end of this blog *finally*
This is a summary of my Taiwan trip
I will update the respective day on what I had did and went in Taiwan
Money spent, experience gain
Travel did expand my view and broaden my mind
I learnt how to adapted the culture shock which will help me on facing other shock
Besides this, the civic of Taiwan really inspired me which we should learnt from them
I would wish Malaysia will become one of them in no longer time
Lastly, I very like the way they speak Chinese
It is god like nice.

Window shop

Went window shop with qx
Damn gay to shop with him yet fun
Both of us did not break the promise
We just only window shop without buying anything beside singlet that I initially want to buy
I just went to every shop and tried.
The most funniest things was I tried a girls pants and I do not the know it
I just realized it today
I think the salesman and his colleague will laugh till OMG after i left the shop
Whatever, they dont know me
Ignore and dont know what happening haha
While just now window shop again with kevin and hh
We met an unethical promoter
As HH wanna buy a jacket for taiwan trip
End up the promoter said now taiwan was around 5'C
Then intro this product that product
I know you not enough sales
But dont you think people willing to buy things with you if this happen once again?
Shame on you..
By the way the promoter is from Gurney Plaza - Winter Time
I should end here and go to bed.
Nitezzzz

1 Weeks before Taiwan Trip

Yes, 1 more weeks before going to taiwan
Im so eager yet a bit of worries
This is the 1st time i go overseas with friends *excludethailand*
Now Im waiting the time pass faster.
Excited to reach there.
This few days was busy with exchange money, packing, doing research in order to get more prepared
I was doing the last preparation before go so we able to enjoy the trip till the max.
However, I would worry will get sick because of sudden change of weather. *taiwanwinternow*
Besides this, I would worry will be kind of tired especially 1st day
As we will busy sitting bus and plane. *faint*
Luckily there will be no jet lag and also huge culture shock
If not gg.com already.
Stop here and continue packing

Drenched - The Song of You

One day, I accidentally heard this song in a video
While listening on the lyric, you are always on my mind. =)
Indeed, we did not do what describe in the lyrics
But the feel she sang out was so match.
The song recalled everything about us.
How we met how we knew each other
I dont know whether do you know that I'm hinting you this song on FB
For me, I would prefer you know I'm hinting you lar.
However, if no doesnt mind as well.
But after this song, I keep finding chance to chat with you after the incident happen.
As after the incident, we chat lesser and not such frequent.
While, the question you asked me last few days
I answered you frankly
Give me sometime, I'll prove in one day =]

Semester 3

I just end my semester 3 past few days while my friends all are stilling fighting for their last paper

For the first half semester,
I was busy with various of activity which the date are almost crashed.
I with my companion organized Bei Dian to the junior, Cash and Carry to the juniors
Besides this, I joined e Carnival as well.
I would say I dont think i will join any activity anymore beside Cash and Carry as it is profitable.
Beside those activity for sure have some party!!!
I went to langkawi with BFF group
While this is the trip I start know all of them.
Besides that, we celebrate mooncake festival ourselves with steamboot, tang yuan and mooncake
This is also the first time I walked from TNB to TM with TNB seniors and juniors for mooncake fest
We lift teng long, walk and chit chat along the campus
This is also another type of bonding among us

For the second half semester,
It is the turn busy with assignments.
Be frankly, this semester I was so tired to handle with assignment
To be honest, I was tired rushing people of deadline and design the assignment content
Luckily, everything end nicely.
Besides this, I took up ER leader for the AUUMAN which made me very headache and pressure as well.
I would never think it will be such tragedy on it.
I suffer a mass failure in the post.
I did everything reluctantly and perfunctorily
I knew I was bad on this matter but then I already try my best to step out of it. *sosorrystella*
I knew you were so stressed on it.
During Deepavali, I went to Hatyai with LSBG!!!
This is the first time I clubbing at oversea in Hatyai
It's not nice compare to Penang.
I was drunk like a shit that time and I was asked to out from the club.*feelsosorry*
They forgive but it is so unforgettable for me and i feel i should not be forgive. *nomoredrunknexttime*
I ruined their happy time by take caring me.
After Hatyai trip i suffered food poisonous which ruined my holiday. *1sttimeaswell*
After that they came to penang for chiong K.
However, some unhappy incident happened in my house. *ignoreit*
FINALLY, i passed bronze Mendelian A.K.A life saver test after a semester of hardwork.
I almost check in swimming pool everyday.
I success from U-turn, senget 6 lanes, till able to finish on time
I was so enjoy the moment at pool
It release all my worries about exam, assignment, task, event deadline
If you ask me what things in university that you would bring, pool will be the answer..
Lastly would be the new year countdown party... *ignorexmaspartyastoobored*
It is happening in Dannok *1sttimecountdownatthai*
I would say Dannok 1 is much better than Hatyai 1.
On the way we go they played a lot fireworks to celebrates
It is very nice as they played a lot
the fireworks are so cheap in thailand compare to malaysia.
It's overall nice but still lose Malaysia perhaps. *yeahnodrunkthistime*
That's all my semester 3 life *ignoreexam*
 


Overally, this semester is not as colourful as semester 2.
However, i did some breakthrough as well
I satisfied with my semester 3 with some regret
but i will try my best!!!

Semester 2

Out of 3 semesters, I would say semester 2 is the most great one.
MyLDS kick started my semester 2 while the success Natcon is my awesome closing ceremony.

Well, I enjoyed lesser holidays compare to other as I joined the best conference ever I had joined - MyLDS
I developed a lot through this conference
I was inspired by not only the speaker, but also other delegates
I would say my thinking was so narrow compare to them
They would think, act, speak much more better than me
They broaden my view and simply amazed me.
As what i mentioned last year, it is a big turning point for me.
From that onward, I do feel myself keep changing although it is no superior
I changed become more optimistic.
I was become more passionate at @ on that time which made me go through VoC.
I failed my VoC as lack of preparation and failed my MT interview which made me very down

Throughout semester 2, the things that most surprised me is that I perform dance at the stage.
You did not see wrongly, the woody kenneth perform pop dance at the stage
All of the things start from seow hui (really a big thanks to you)
She asked me during the class while I'm interested then I go to practise
I took this as another exercise while dance really help
I sweat a lot through out the exercise
We were going to perform Mr Simple and Party Rock Anthem
We were practice very hard for the sake to made the performance become better.
I was pinpointed that too woody and unable to catch the beat during the practice as well.
The performance was awesome on the night
While our hardwork was paid off

Compare to the performance that trained hardly,
I was participated another performance which I did not do any practice which happen at MPP Dinner
The clown was finding another partner to do some show,
I was pointed by my friends.
While i was entertaining the whole hall audience by doing some funny move which ordered by the clown
My friend record the video and i was keep laughing everytime i see the video
I'm look so stupid inside the video yet it is my pleasure to let the hall to laugh.
Some of my friends said the clown successfully found a person that willing to do the action with him
But for me as long as able to made me happy, it will do.

The last things I would mention is about academic,
frankly, semester 2 was a huge challenge for me but yet I love the challenge I create for myself
I took quite weirdo papers compare to other coursemate.
But, i do start feel i like accounting a lot
Account trigger my study mood sometime. *soundsridiculous*
but i do feel i will easier to understand account compare to others.

Semester 2 ended with the greatful memory - NatCon
I joined NatCon halfway to become a volunteer organizing committee.
Frankly, I was unlikely to go as I just finish the exam and back home for 2 days and have to go in again.
Me and Monique go in reluctantly but we back reluctantly as well.
During the whole 10 days conference, we work, play,enjoy together
We build a very strong relationship among us as the bonding between us are very strong.

Overall, I have a very very fruitful semester 2 which made my days up and down...

Semester 1

The one of the reason i reblog is to let me know what had i did in the past in UUM and outside UUM.
Frankly, it takes time for me to recall what had happen.

Well, the things i never forget is how reluctant I am when i step into this university
be frankly, till now i would feel i deserve a better one but meanwhile i do not regret to came in here
The first week orientation was so tiring
3 days for 8 hours sleep(in bed)
I was allocated to TNB where inside i got no friends inside beside Jerry who I only knew in the school 1 month before.
I was closed with him while i tried not to close with anyone beside him
as that time i was thinking to shift to other university
i put a lot of hope to wish able to change university
i was almost one people for everything, but for sure during the time also got know some new friends
besides this, it is so disappointed as TNB got no chinese girls allocated into it.
the whole week was just facing the wantan
Dont say me chi kou, it is a normal phenomena only.
Very soon, orientation end and class starts.
I was allocated to the class which is different with yee ding and also jerry
but same with 3 malacca guys
and also because of this, till now majority class we are same.
It is quite a big challenge as i do not know that 3 guys at all during orientation
I was just enter their group and speak with them.
Very soon, I knew my appeal was totally failed thus i start join various activity to make myself more busy to forget about the pain.

I joined bei dian, blood donation, digital fair, sudoku and also AIESEC as well.
I was actively participate at TNB activity and ignore @ works
I was so struggle in @ as i could not feel any sense of belonging
Thus, I joined LLDS and MyLDS as well
I wish I able to find back myself as I was quite lost during that time.
Through LLDS, I knew quite a number of friends which able to think out of the box
They are so awesome to me and I would wish able to be like them.
I would say the activity occupied my semester 1 time
Through joining activity, I knew a lot of seniors and widen my connection in UUM.

Semester 1 was quite dull for me compare to semester 2 and 3 which are more attractive.
Besides that, I was almost emo during the whole semester as that time i was lost in the jungle.
It is much improved during semester 2 and 3.
