arghhh blogger deleted one whole paragraph from my previous post.pissed off ttm now.anw that para was basically saying that the most lasting lesson i learnt from taiwan trip is to make the best out of the situation, when things dun go my way (which was most of the time in tw?) like my buddy was MIA most of the time, the friggin unpredictable weather, forced to make new friends, sleeping at unearthly hours and waking up at equally unearthly hours in the freezing cold etc etc. it really made me step out of my comfort zone. for the first time im forced to face problems head on and overcome them, or maybe i've been doing that subconsciously my whole life but it has just become obvious to me now.cos like for the first 2 weeks i really had no one to depend on..okay this is turning sensitive i shall continue this in my head haha.but im pretty proud of myself for figuring things out and then having the time of my life =P

anw i dun get why ppl like to call their parents so much when they go overseas.for me the whole point of calling is to let them know im alive and safe, and that only takes a few seconds to say? i mean like..if you tell them that you have not enough money left or you're sick or not enough luggage or you lost something..they cant help you right???so i feel that theres no point in telling them such things (although they may seem like severe problems)..so instead of worrying them, why not just try to overcome them yourself?saves phone bill too :D
