Taiwan

Currently on day 2, chilling in the room.
Had a bad flight zzzz could barely sleep... Dk why? Took other budget flights before eh. Anway, prob slept for 4 hours? Reached Tao Yuan airport around 6ish and roamed looking for food. Rly love the 7-11 here!! And then we slacked, got my youth card done, and bought the phone card. Took bus to take the bullet train, which was very nice hahaha. Then we cabbed from Tai Chung to Cingjing. Wah quite cold. Like hongkong whether in jan? Anw we went around this place then returned to our minsu, Misty Villa, to take some car up to some sheep place. And from there we walked down. Patted sheeps and watched horse show, and descended 487 steps. Then had dinner at our minsu and slept early. Woke up at 4 am this morning and took a mini caravan up to the mountain Omgsuper bumpy car sick.. And it was really cold on top. Colder than shanghai. Thankful the caravan had thick jacket. It was around 8 degrees? Then we hung around on top then finally came back down had breakfast. Now chilling, gna get out at 11 and take a bus back to Tai Chung~

Experiences @ HP


So I ended work on Tuesday. Started mid-Jan.
Currently flipping through this autograph book the company gave.
Hmm.. Firstly, I will never be able to find another job like this one. My workload is relatively little. There were a few days where I really worked non-stop, but there were more days where I had plenty of free time, and even more days where I had no work at all. I'll then spend my free time watching shows, reading, knitting, drawing etc. I've read many books since working here.
I've also had ALOT of food here. Still remember in the first week that I joined, there was a buffet already. There were many events which also had alot of buffets, and many farewell events so even more buffets. My colleagues will also buy me food randomly? hahah one colleague always buy me curry puff. I also occasionally help another department, and then they will give me pizza curry puff muffins etc.
The people are also very welcoming. Not exactly friendly, but they are all really nice. Even though I'm new etc, they are soooo welcoming. Putting aside the fact that the pay is quite high hahhahhaha, I'm glad to have worked here and to have interacted with these people. It is really a stress-free job, and super easy. The only thing I don't like is I have to wake up early but that's just me hahahha
Oh yeah, working hours. Everybody is really flexible, and even if you're late it's fine. Supposedly work starts at 8.30.. But everyone reaches around 9ish.. 10ish is okay too. And the 1 hour lunch which is from 1130?? Who has lunch at 1130 anyway. But yeah, it's flexible also. 2 hours is also fine. And then we'll play foosball hahahah quite fun too actually.
Oh we've been to Golden Mile for Thai food twice.. It's really good too. And quite nice that we'll actually drive all the way there just for food hahaha. Oh on monday went for a walk with them too. Actually just Taooei and Bryan lol but okay it's fine too. We walked around 10km? Through Hort Park, Mount Faber, then Keppel Bay, and Labrador Park...
I will remember this. Because it's a nice experience.
Like what kind of company is this even man..... it's more like an enjoyable school to me hahahahahha
Oh yeah.. I have like HP jacket, shoe bag, water bottle, mouse, custom-made calendar... hahahah so many things. It's been.. fun. And interesting.
Though, this job isn't exactly one of those stepping-out-of-my-comfort-zone kind, I've took some memories, skills and a little knowledge with me I guess.
Oh right. I've watched a few seasons of One Tree Hill, rewatched Prison Break and Michael Scofield is still damn hot, watched all of 2 Broke Girls, watched a season of Skins, few episodes of Game Of Thrones... Read many many many books too. haha possibly 10???
Songs capture memories for me, hence the Songs for the period/season.
Also.. actually these songs I heard them all on One Tree Hill, and idk they just seemed like songs zy will liked so I actually downloaded it and perhaps hoped to give him but whatevs and I actually like them myself hahahaha








Songs for this period:
The Look - Colour of Clouds
As It Must Be - Joey Ryan
The Sound - Paper Route
Face Down In The Right Town - Earlimart

Autumn's Concerto

Have been watching this show recently. Started at work recently, because I was bored of watching english shows, and I just felt like watching Taiwanese idol drama. I picked this show because I thought it's the most interesting, and I think it'll be very awwwwww which it really was! I really liked it, and I actually like Van Ness Wu I think he's quite cute hahahha.
Anyway, back to the show. It made me cry at some parts because it's soooooo sad. Like there's this guy who has unrequited love.. SO SAD. And the main couple... they have alot of misunderstandings, which prevent them from being together. Sigh. But really, cried alot hahaha. I think the female lead is quite cute too. So sad that this show has to end. :(
I've also downloaded the soundtracks heheheheh
Go watch this.




Songs for this period
我爱他 - 丁当
亲人 - 丁当
一切为了爱 - 品冠
我以为 - 品冠
(yes they're actually all from the show hahaha but I downloaded them all coz they're nice!!)

Work, today

So slept in till 10ish.. expected to wake up much later.
Anyway, went to work. Helped to set up etc.
It was soooooo busy today. We had about 60 reserved guests, but in the end 234 turned up! No wonder so busy. Really tired after work, like both my legs are really sore and I just wanted to seat down.
Anyway, quite satisfied because Chris and George said I did well yay. Chris said I did really well considering it's only my 2nd time there. And George is... well he's quite stern and he doesn't really say much but he said I did well too and I'm the best!! hahahahaha He also said if i could get through today i can get through anything which is really weird coz it's not even that hard. I mean it's just tiring but not like training tiring you know? hahahhaha weird. but yeah, just quite happy.
Though while working.. I really feel like I'm playing real-life diner dash.
A little looking forward to work on Sunday which is going to be SOOOO packed and I'm working full day.. :O
