Wayward Taiwan
Went to Taiwan for a short trip after my exams with Nat, Karin, Gekleng, Weiliang and CK.
While it was only 9 days, it didnt really seem that short a trip......
Within the 9 days, we literally travelled round Taiwan: Taipei-Hsin Chu-Tai Chung-AliShan-Kaoshiung-Kenting-Kaoshiung-Hualien-Taipei.
A lot of things happened along the way.... We got to know new people (CK), we got to see old people (Zhong Kunhua!), we got to know our friends better (Karin-Nat), we healed (me & the pig), we showdown-ed, we revealed, we bought (Karin & Nat & the pig), we shopped (Karin & Nat & the pig), we ate (the pig), we questioned, we answered, we quarreled, we pillow-fought (Karin & the pig), we shouted (Nat), we fell (the pig), we ran, we laughed, we cycled, we tanned, we danced (Karin and Nat and the nurse), we sang, we screamed (Nat).........
Some things were good, some things not so good...... but at the end of the day it was just way way too fun to be over..... When I had to leave them early to come back to Singapore, I felt lost for the first two days...... And I missed everyone......
This trip did me quite abit of good..... I am not sure why myself.... but I felt different when I came back.... I also don't quite know what is different..... But I just know that I am different from before..... Different in a good way......
Maybe the fun and relaxation recharged me.....But I am quite sure it was more than that........
Throughout the whole trip I never stopped thinking....... Reading made me think alot... So did walking down the slopes of Chu-Shan..... Sometimes it was about me.... sometimes it was about others...... sometimes it was about life and death and love........
Looks like even when you are half a longitude away from home, your troubles will always follow you...
Whatever it is, I am so glad I went on the trip...... Stepping outside to the colourful and wayward world opens up your eyes to many things..... Being away from home gives you your much needed space......
One day..... maybe I am going to live away from home....
To see more, to learn more, to live more....
When I am ready of course.....
Haha
