first post of july!

1.
went to science museum with hunter, harry, and my bro
it was fun!
there're so much stuff to play with in the museum
and also some new stuff!! (well, most part r exactly the same as many years ago)

and i found out that my bro and i had never been to the "Color and sound and math (!?)" area hunter picked!
and it was cool!
i dunno if it's new or what!
but this is kinda my first time to feel something NEW in the museum!
thnx hunter for arranging the trip
and thnx hunter's mom for the ice-cream (it is just beside the museum...)

2.
and andrew used his paypal account (he has been saving money from his navigation stuff) to buy me Team Fortress 2
so now i can play online with andrew!! it's a great game
thou i dun kill much people cuz my macbook lags too much (my macbook does not reach the minimum system requirement ;(() and also i'm not a really good game player lol!!

3.
and tonight
papa brought an iPhone 4 back home
omg!!!
it's so cool! the LCD is really incredible! it's really clear without pixels
and we took a lot of photos of it...

my heart is pumping too fast...

my Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) broke out again as i walked down stairs angrily and kicked a stupid bag on the stairs

i measured the heart rate; it's about 240 bpm

and as usual, holding breath always stops it....

i really dunno what to do...

they say surgery, but i really want to prove the disease to my doctor

but it only works if the disease breaks out with measuring facilities nearby...

6/20

back from Yingge 鶯歌
i'll upload photos later on on flickr
i have so much to tell!!

i was so tired yesterday when i was back from the trip!
cuz we all walked too much

------------ <-- line to separate from huge chunk of thoughts @@
my bro and i took a train to 新烏日 at first and then we met Belle at Taichung HSR station
(Johnny was there too but we didn't see him)
on our way to Banciao,
my iPhone suddenly vibrated and said there was a 5.0 earthquake somewhere in Hualien!
(usually the HSR stops if the quake is strong enough, so i was worried, but it turns out that our quake in the current location doesn't reach an 1.0 scale)
so we took the HSR to Banciao (saw johnny just before we got off the train)

so i followed my plan: taking MRT to 永寧 and the 917 bus to Yingge
so four of us took MRT to 永寧
and then we waited for 917 bus
this long!? i think we waited for half an hour and it was humid and hot outside!!!
oh yes, i saw 917 coming back on the other side (a good sign, telling us that there's still a bus going around)
so 917 FINALLY arrived and i stood up and told belle, johnny, and andrew to come along
and then it started to accelerate and just drove away leaving us behind....
i'm like wtf!!!
we gave up!! and 917 forever become our sign of bad luck!

so we decided to take MRT back to Banciao and take Taiwan Railway to Yingge

we arrived at Yingge at about 1 pm, late for 2 hours (it's all 917's fault)
and we met Iris at the station :)
so we told her about 917...
iris said she had already taken a bus to the Yingge Old Street, so she would show us the way!

so we walked and walked (still hot and humid) and finally arrived the Yingge Old Street (yay, AC)!
we chilled for a little while and tiff arrived just in time!

so we walked around the Old street and (is it andrew's iphone?) we found a neat little traditional restaurant!
all things of the restaurant are old, even the food they served are (of course not old) traditional!
it's called 厚道飲食店
http://www.wretch.cc/blog/hoodow/14697
i ordered 好吃焢肉飯 so delicious, a 蜂蜜粉圓, and 黃昏的故鄉 (alcoholic drink lol)

it wasn't expensive at all

according to my plan, our next stop was Ceramics Museum
people of the museum were so nice!! (taichung art museum sucks)
they were like, "welcome! u can take photos here, just remember to turn off the flash :)"
and i, ":)"
so we wandered around and took photos (also u cannot use a tripod in the museum, i think they don't want u to knock something down)

anyway, we stayed till the last minute and we decided not to walk back the train station (we may die in the middle of the road)
so tiff called taxi and we all arrived Taiwan railway Yingge station and took a train back to Taipei!

it was friday evening, so the train was extremely crowded!!
after we arrived Taipei, we took MRT to our last stop: takashimaya, a shopping mall in 天母
iris strongly suggested this place cuz we like fish and there is a huge fish tank there thou she doesn't like fish

the mall sure is amazing
a fish tank in the middle of two spiral escalators!!!
and the elevators go into the fish tank (of course not into the water)
we shopped at the Jason's market and dined at 鴛鴦 香港料理
i asked tiff, "what's a 冰火菠蘿油"
tiff, "it's very oily but very tasty, u should try it once!"
so i ordered one
it's really really nice!!!
after dinner and the elevators and escalators, bye tiff!

cuz iris missed all our firework plans
we burned some sparkles and took some pics!

it was late like 9:50 pm
so we rushed to mall's shuttle
fortunately, we made it to the last one
and we arrived MRT 芝山站
and we rushed back to Taipei station and bought the last HSR ticket of the day!

at 新竹 goodbye iris!
then we found out that iris forgot her hat, oh no~
we decided to mail to to her later on...
after we arrived taichung station, we said goodbye and it ended!

iris said, "she'll get the hat, when we meet next time!"

6/16

dragon boat festival!?
haha
so my bro and i went to tiger city today
and get some dumplings from starbucks
they were like transparent and stuff in middle, all sweet!! (one was coffee)

oh yeh and we met carney, a friends from ast!
good to see him!

and then we met with dan dan, keke, vincent, linda, and michelle today!
we played at sega
and went for fireworks well not really fireworks, but like sparkle and small "flying to sky" thingy

and then we went to chilis and had dinner
and i also got a drink haha
i'm a 酒鬼 now lol

6/15

thought we're just going to get proof from doctor for vaccination history for college
but then it ended up:
i took a vaccination of MMR lol
i thought i would be scared the hell out
but i was damn calm and like
andrew: "do u want to take it first?"
i: "sure, why not?"
and it ended :)

i think my phobia to vaccination ended today!?
hope so...

i hope i can hang out more with more ppl, want to meet with them at least once!

went to art museum on thursday!
it was cool though ppl there are NOT NICE!
very rude, you know like they say, "hey you no picture here" or "hey your feet just crossed the line" or "stop moving your leg in front of whatever is in your front"
the tea shop was neat! it's all about rose!
had dinner with lots more people that night at papamio

and on friday, keke, harry, my bro, and i went to WHS graduation!
met teachers and old friends!
miss them so much!!

and then parklane...

i'll never see them again ;(
(but the truth is i'll see them hardly or later in the year)
but it's still sad...

the feeling of distance...

the ceremony went fine so did the dinner

Senior trip

turns out i have no time to sit down and type down my thought of the trip!
so sorry!
like my brother said, "it's like a dream!"
i felt unreality now when i am thinking about the trip!
it's too wonderful in many ways!

ok continue with the daily updates the second day we went to a taiwanese traditional place
it's raining, so i gotta carry an umbrella, a tripod, a huge and heavy camera bag everywhere

(i carry the bag for 5 days and now my shoulders really hurt!!! ouch!)
but it's all worth it! i took over 1,000 picture thruout the trip!
and some pictures are really beautiful
imma share them to u when i upload them to flickr!!

and i bought some cookies and candies that are famous
宜蘭餅, 牛舌餅 and 麥芽糖餅
and then we went to 七星潭, a beach place
we stay at 遠來 hotel for the second day
and something really um... unexpected happened that night
my friends and i went to a bar in the hotel and drank some shots celebrating our graduation
and then our teacher came in and got mad and said that we would be sent back to Taichung because we broke the rule
"u'r in big trouble!"
then it turns out to be that we're grounded for later nights and we gotta write a penitence letter before monday afternoon

then the third day we went to the ocean theme park, had fun, took pictures
we stayed at royal jhiben hotel 老爺知本
cuz we're grounded so we had nothing to do but watch TV and play UNO
we also moved 2 chairs out to balcony and talked about old things and drank tea

on the fourth day we went to chulu ranch (place i suggested)
took pictures, ate ice cream which was really milky and tasty!
then we headed to Kenting!!

we stayed at Howard hotel and had dinner at a local restaurant that night and bought things in the market with alice!
we bought tons of stuff including really cool shutter shades sunglasses, slippers, LED lights for light painting
we set time for the time i should be back at hotel but then we had not enough time so we rushed back and met teacher outside our rooms
we chatted on our balcony and also took pictures of light painting and stars that night and went to bed very late like 3-4 am

on the fifth day we went to the aquarium and took pictures and i bought a really cute penguin stuff animal!
and we left!! and the trip ends at Taichung 新光!
i had a lot of fun and it was really memorable!
thnx to jesse again for making the trip possible!!
