give this space a bit more love
so it has been eons since i last wrote here
and in the span of 8 months (or so), quite a few things have happened.
went on a trip with four church friends to Taipei, Taiwan (that was fun) and key takeaways:
- traveling with people means you get different personalities and you have to put up with the differences. it's not easy but it does make the trip more exciting!
- i enjoyed the company. especially the late nights where we just got together and talked
- don't be too intrusive into the personal lives of others, especially if it's in a group setting
- enjoy the moment and be present
highlights:
- catching the sunset at Xiangshan
- cycling at Dan Shui
- fried chicken from shih lin night market
- not rainy jiu fen
- playing king's cup with warm beer (urgh)
then i went again on a hen's party trip to Bali, with a couple of girls (including the bride-to-be and her secondary school friends)
again there were many key takeaways from the personalities on the trip:
- i really enjoyed speaking with one of her friends who was friendly, warm, smart, pretty, well-mannered, caring. such a virtuous friend who really had an adventurous spirit and looked out for others.
- there was another more free-spirited girl, who has traveled and seen the world, and i loved hearing her regale her tales of Mexico City; it was like living vicariously through her travels
- i've also learnt the epitome of self-centredness and how not to behave
highlights:
- catching the sunset at Pettinget beach
- chilling at Mrs Sippy
- snorkeling at Nusa Penida
- white water rafting
- amazing dinners (bbq in the villa and at Warung Sunset)
- watching the bride sing and tear
these memories will stay with me forever.
