Taiwan (pictures)

Here are some of the photos taken during my visit to Taiwan.. This time I didn't take a lot of pictures. I don't know why, but it's just like that. I was also surprised when I checked there are only about 200 photos in my camera.. (Yea, 200 for 3 weeks is little I guess =D )

2 weeks of traveling

I am back for a while to post about my travel stories for the past 2 weeks..

It started on 5th Sept. My parents, my grandma and I left for Taiwan. We were there for a week. Everything was the same there since I left 4 months back. And I think I do like Taiwan =D. During our stay there, I took my parents to go around, and we walked so much til our legs got really tired. The heat was just bad, and so we always brought umbrella with us whenever we went out. We could not go to other places outside Taipei though cos we were short of time and the condition was not supporting us to go. A lot of places in Taiwan were just messy due to the bad Typhoon happened just a few weeks before we arrived there.

But anyway, I am glad to be back to Taiwan again and met some friends. My grandma was really happy too cos she got to meet up with her brothers again. Not to forget my parents, they were happy too: meeting up with family, traveling around, and just be away for a while from their hectic works back home. Thanks to my brother, who was taking care of the shop back home. =D Yes, he didn't go with us and so he asked me to buy quite few things for me. :p

I hope to be able to post some pictures as soon as I got home.

I am in KL-Msia at the moment. I took a flight from Taiwan to Malaysia. I was hoping to see lots of friends of mine here. But til now, I haven't seen any of my college friends here. But at least I have Tracie - close of mine and the lifeliners.
I went for a camp also with some of the lifeliners and the camp was good. I learned lots of things from that and of course I received so much joy and happiness that I really missed since I was back in Indonesia. What I mean here is the joy of feeling belonging to the community and to be honest, to really feel the presence of God through the Holy Spirit.

I am staying at Tracie's place during my stay in KL. It's in Bukit jalil, quite far from Subang and Tracie's working. So I sometimes find it not difficult, but just quite troublesome whenever I wanna go to Subang. But then again, everyone is there, so I sometimes have no choice but to go there. Praise God that everything goes well so far. Thanks also Crisable for her hospitality and allowed me to spend few nights in here house, though I like to kacau her most of the time. hehe..

Today I take a 'day rest' in the house. Packing up things, so that I can roughly know how much more I still can buy and bring home. lol.
Haven't settled the flight ticket from Surabaya to Balikpapan yet though, even for the transportation to go to LCCT, and where will I spend my last night here. Not because many ask me to stay in their house but, it's because Tracie's working and my flight is in the afternoon.

Anyway, I hope I can take Tracie along for this coming Sunday mass. ^_^

Will post another story on the next post..


God bless!

Heylo TW - MY! ^^,

I got my Taiwan visa, again! =D

Will be going to Taiwan next month and then to Malaysia!!! ^^,
Hey ya!! Prepare for my coming!!! ha ha ha.. !

The extended holidays, they call it.

This week I am having 3 days school off - Wed, Thurs, and Friday. However, since my other course and teaching are not off, I can't go anywhere far from Taipei. -_-".

Wednesday, just felt to spend the day at home. So I didn't join my friends to go out. At night still had to go for French class.

Thursday, I decided to go to the Park behind my house to exercise (a need to burn some calories..). Spent about 2 hours there [running and walking]. The weather was very cold yesterday and days before though. In the afternoon, I went to work, till night. I haven't gotten my salary yet though. Was expecting it last night, but my boss didn't say anything even til I left the place. -_-". Oh well..

Friday [today], at first I thought of taking a friend of mine to Danshui since she hasn't been there before. But this morning she said that she's going to her friend's house. So then, I randomly thought of going to Fulong beach (heard it's a nice beach) and with the sun up there, how beautiful that would be. =) But it didn't happen. Oh well, will ask more people to go with next time, with a proper planning bien sur.
In the end, me, Nia and Rm. Pras decided to go to the Miniature Museum of Taiwan. It was nice. The museum is not big but it took us -+ one and a half hours to finish it.
From there, I straight away went for class.

Tomorrow some of us are going to have lunch with Sr. Valentine [Indonesian]. I told her that we're gonna cook for her (yea, right.. haha). But now I am still thinking about what to cook tomorrow, and HOW we're gonna cook the dishes, and esp. HOW to bring it to the University, since we have no containers at home! ah, God will make a way.. We'll find it out somehow tomorrow ^^, I hope I am not gonna screw it up. :|

This sunday, I am planning to visit my family in Taipei. It's been more than a month since I last visited them. Upps... hehehe...
