prof samuel brought us out today n according to him.. this is the BEST soya bean drink.. but i prefer the one jeremy brought us to.. cos it's sweeter
we visited the national palace museum aka "gu gong" my fav activity in the musuem was to go around n collect the stamps.. i was "fighting" with uncle for the stamps lor.. zzz
lunch was at Yang Min Shan (Mountain), nice food n fresh air. It was at least a 2hr journey and i was sleeping until we reached this place..






some park to see some weird shapes stones..

it was jus too hot, so i did not walk to the end to see this rock.. doesn't it loook like a face of the woman?We went to Ji Long for dinner and a walk. It's a few hours drive.
Day 2 was a lighter day as we did not eat as much as yesterday..

the days before i depart

5 july 2007
went to teach ethan for the last time before i depart for my one mth holiday.. brought xb along to intro her to ethan n she will b his chinese tr from now on..
the delivery man came too early to pick up the bedframe from c's house n so i had to end the lesson earlier than planned. i bid gd bye to ethan n gave him a big hug. he said a lot of sweet stuff but i don believe 80% of it.. he said he will do homework n call me to ask for more, said he will b gd n listen to the other teachers, he said he will write down a number each day n when he reached 30, i'll b back..

my super duper cosy n expensive mattress came early today too! but that was a gd news.. anyway i settled everything by 12.30pm.. called for mac-delivery: happy meal n took a nap.. went to see the doc @ upper payar lebar n went to meet my passerby!! we went vivo n ate my usual rice.. but it wasnt nice.. we concluded that the orchard outlet has the better standard.. he bought soo much stuff lar.. more than me.. zzzz

but i bought milk powder, milo n his fav indofood noodle for my trip in case i go hungry n miss noodles when i'm in states..
