gosh i'm so tired but I need to brain dump. however I do have to wake up at 7 tomorrow, we must leave the house by 8. I hope it doesn't rain! If it rains again... well what can we do, just climb up carefully and pray that we don't fall (my legs are still sore).

1. Tsunami, worst thing that can happen to 3rd world countries. WHY o WHY o WHY. They say the interesting thing is they haven't found any dead animal bodies in Sri Lanka... Interesting fact. Only if humans can predict things like that, that would be great. I feel bad for all those ppl who died, lost someone they loved, or are worried about someone potentially being there and dead/lost/injured. To think that I almost went to Thailand too... this is one tough year for many people. I hope everyone will have a better 2005

2. so the night market guy remembers me. that's cool, I'm glad my stares made an impression. he seems like such an easy going person, someone I feel like I can have effortless conversations with, but when will we have that conversation? heh, beats me. for ppl that know me well, I'm not the kind of person to go out of my way to make an effort for someone new, it might be stupid b/c this way I'll never make any new friends but then again I'm happy with the friends I already have. But I do wonder what Elise's been up to though I don't know her too well, I should have taken the chance to hang out with her more when she asked me to go out last time I was around... oh wellz, my fault for missing out (was very attracted by her though, darn!)

3. "Do you miss the D-Link days"? Well, I can't say I don't. But I can't say I MISS IT either, just glad I had that chance to learn I guess. Speaking of which I should say hi to those ppl at least once, since I'm here. Afterall I talked to them so much when I worked here and last time they were totally asking me to hang out, and of course again I turned them down out of laziness. I think I loose many friends b/c I don't put in the effort, but seriously I feel tired just by thinking of how much work I have to do to maintain a relationship. What's wrong with me? But yes, I'm super glad I had experience my first corporate life through D-Link.


hmmmmmmm I had more I wanted to write but now I forgot... oh yeah, it's awesome to be at home, to spend time with family, but I'm not quite used to having someone asking me where I am going, with whom I'm going out with, and what time I need to be back. It's tough to deal with that especially when I've already consciously made my decision to stay at home vs. going out when I'm in Taiwan... it's just not gonna work if I stay at home all day all night, I need to get out of the tien mu area once in a while and being out last night was great! I need to see lots of ppl, strangers, I'm a ppl watcher, and I think if I don't get that injection once in a while, I'll just shrivel up and die like a flower. :P

I don't miss US. I already miss Taiwan, once again I'm preparing (mentally) for my departure. godverdomme, I have a problem.
