Can you believe it, I&#8217;m still not done with blogging for our honeymoon in 2011!? I seldom blog, but still, there is a lot happening in this year. With that, this entry becomes a lot MORE MEANINGFUL!! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>First of all, this is a year of lotsa travelling. Haha! Out of 12 months, I had 6 trips, and out of the 6 trips, I was on my own solo trip for 2 of them!! Cool right? I always imagined myself doing something like that since I was young, but never had the courage until this year, it just happened so naturally without much anticipation or planning.<\/p>\n<p><center>Travelogues<\/center><br \/>\n<strong>Kaoshiung in Dec-Jan<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is CrazyGang&#8217;s First Countdown overseas, and in my favourite country, Taiwan!! We spent a day in Taipei and made our way to Kaoshiung. Had lotsa food, eating steamboat in the cold, wearing thick jackets, shiok or not? Sibeh shiok!! Visited the \u4e94\u6708\u5929exhibition at \u640f\u4e8c.. sibeh happy we did so many jumpshots with the magnificent Mayday&#8217;s Bumblebee. Pail and I are going to countdown at \u9ad8\u96c4\u4e16\u8fd0\u4f53\u80b2\u573a with Mayday&#8217;s NOWHERE concert, while the Lee sisters and their bro went to \u9ad8\u96c4\u68a6\u65f6\u4ee3&#8217;s countdown party. <\/p>\n<p>Such a wonderful experience.!!<br \/>\n<img src='..\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Travelogue(201301)KAOSHIUNG.jpg'><\/p>\n<p><strong>Osaka in April<\/strong><br \/>\nOur 2nd trip to Osaka, but we feel different in every trip.

That&#8217;s because Pail was being summoned by our country to serve a ONE MONTH reservist in Kaoshiung!!! And so&#8230;. Suki shall go for a solo trip too!! It got to be somewhere which I do not require much planning, Taiwan or HK? Let the itinerary and air fare decide my destination. First, Air tickets to HK are cheaper than TW, and secondly, I managed to buy a Mayday concert ticket from this \u6362\u7968\u533a to fight against \u9ec4\u725b\u7968! Muahahahaha&#8230; Canny will help me deal with the seller, and the happiest thing is I will be able to meet up with her again! Yay! <\/p>\n<p>Woohoo.. All sorted. Got myself a 3G data sim card, and i did not lose my way at all! Suki can read maps now!!

This gotta be the hottest Taipei we&#8217;ve ever been. Coz we always go during Winter, and now is Summer in August, even hotter than SG!!! To make things worse, it&#8217;s RAINING and TYPHOON season~~~ Heck lah, still want to enjoy ourselves&#8230;. we appreciated the hot weather after we were welcomed with their seasonal rain, hotter also never mind, at least it didn&#8217;t rain when we visited \u5341\u5206&#038;\u83c1\u6850 and \u5b9c\u862d. Heh&#8230; \u4eba\u5c31\u662f\u8fd9\u6837\u3002We are quite prepared for the season, we are in shades, sleeveless\/tees, shorts and slippers, I even bought my super-cui longchamp bag and the Manhattan backpack that are waterproof.

I&#8217;m only reporting for work on the 1st Oct, and one week later, I&#8217;m in Vancouver. It still feels like a dream to me. Alone there, I felt a bit lonely, but I tried not to think about it, and just adapt to the lifestyle. And yes, I did it. I survived. The people there are such wonderful people, kind and helpful, one thing I noticed is, they do not have their own culture, their culture is a mixture of everybody&#8217;s cultures from different parts of the world. That&#8217;s also what Singapore is like, but I sensed more happiness in the people there. It&#8217;s amazing. I couldn&#8217;t describe why so amazing, but it&#8217;s just amazing.
