This is the 5th time in Taiwan. But I don’t recall my first three times. I only remember the one that I went with Mr. W. Ah, i miss him bad. Recalling our love journey, well, we’ve really gone quite far.
Just half a year ago, it was my first time in a long time since I went Taiwan. And it’s almost like I’ve never been here before. The first three times were when I was a kid. Probably 5, 6 years old? HOW TO REMEMBER?! Dad said I had chicken pox here. And we do have relatives and stayed in their places before. BUT I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO MEMORY OF IT. I think someone erased them all (too much heroes)
Anyways, back to my long winded story, I just feel very brave to go with Mr. W alone. Also first ever time to take a plane with just 1 person alone. (not that it’s really so much of a big deal)
My whole main point is. I FEEL DAMN BRAVE CAN. Experiencing earthquake, surfing, walking and getting lost back in the middle of the night from a night market back to our hotel.
The trip with Mr. W meant a great deal to me.
It was rather spontaneous. We’ve talked about going somewhere together before exams were over. Even took some brochures from the NATAS fair, but the H1N1 scare really crashed our dreams. Feeling so disappointed and saddened by the fact that it wouldn’t be safe to go elsewhere and bring back the H1N1 virus and infect our families, we decided to forgo the idea.
I still remember that day. When the MOH announced that it’s okay to go overseas as the threat in SG and other countries are almost the same, we brought the idea back almost immediately. I remember calling him, telling him about this, and we somehow thought of the same thing!
After convincing my dad and telling him the MOH news, I knew then, I could go.
The happiness is quite unexplainable.
That was when our intensive research for hotels, air tickets, places to go, and places to eat started.
Then I broke news to some friends and they agreed that this trip would either strengthen or weaken the relationship. Well, it’s really not easy to live with someone’s habit for two weeks. And I’ve not tried that before.
And I felt a little skeptical. “What if we kept quarreling during the trip and we end up having the worst holidays of our lives”, I thought. (You know how paranoid i get sometimes.) But something struck me. If it happens, it happens. It’s all fate. And that thought never came back to me again.
The thing is I just feel so comfortable with him. All gloominess could turn to happiness with him around. I think he has some magical power or some sort. He dazzles me. (Like how Edward Cullen dazzles Isabella Swan in Twilight)
Mr. W is neat and organised. He rarely loses his things, and usually knows where he puts them. He is responsible and assuring.
Most importantly, he looks after me well. Going all means to ensure I’m safe. And assures me that I’ll be safe. Well, I’m brave, I’m good. Heh. But definitely better with him around.
The silliest thing? He stayed up ALL NIGHT when we experienced the earthquake. Just so to ensure I’m safe. THAT SILLY BOY. (and I slept like a log after the scary earthquake – that I thought was a ghostly encounter but then manages to convince myself it’s an earthquake)
Almost like I’m having someone much older than me. Like 24? HAHA. He’s 2 years older than me in the lunar calendar. I like his security. He ensures nobody touches me or pushes me around. And also ensures I get enough of my DA BAO XIAO. heh. And enough drinks too. Yes, I drink more than I eat, and he eats more than he drinks. Happy Happy.
AND HE NEVER LETS ME HOLD MY LUGGAGES. This silly boy carries almost everything for me. Even if it would weigh a ton and hurt his shoulders like crazy, he still insist. Silly silly bobohead. :X
And he likes to tease and laugh at me. Laugh at my clumsiness. Laugh at how i can bang my leg onto the table and have a huge ass bruise the next day. And after laughing, help me put zambat. Silly Silly bobohead. (I remember having 3-4 bruises all over my body and I don’t even remember how i got some of them)
YES. THIS IS HOW MUCH I MISS MR. W.
HE’S ALL IN MY HEAD NOW. HOW U TELL ME. HOW.
darn.
Anyhows, the rain spoilt my plans to go to the night market and buy tons of dabaoxiao back. However, there’s still tomorrow.I need some shopping. Else I’ll indulge myself in Twilight. Yes, I got the book to see what’s made all the fans so addicted! Read a straight 14 chapters on the plane and even made conversation with the airport girl coz of this book. HAHA!
Haven’t watched the show yet but will do when I get back n catch it with Mr. W! (he isn’t that enthu though. probably coz he don’t know what it’s about. HA!)
Okay. Will end of here.
I MISS U MR. W!
Xoxo
