It has been a long while since I updated my blog here - but several things have happened since the last time I updated here - here goes then...
A first overseas break in more than a year brought me to Taiwan - long overdue I think - but it was a good trip all the same - went on a hectic round the island trip encompassing Taipei, Hualien, Green Island, Kaohsiung and Alishan. More pictures on this can be found on my facebook profile, and definitely with my beloved with me it was all the more sweeter. We sure experienced a lot of good food, good scenery and comfortable rooms as well - especially with the mountainous ranges in Taroko and Alishan, and with the city fun in Taipei and Kaohsiung. We even had fun exploring Qijin in Kaohsiung on a bike which broke down on our way back =) The only regret that we had was that we were unable to see the sunrise in Alishan which was spoiled by a heavy mist. But in conclusion, we decided that we would come back to Taiwan soon - but not sure when...
But the trip back home brought about a bout of gastric flu to me which did not make me enjoy CNY then - but anyway I suppose it is easy for one to pick up illnesses from another country and suffer so..yeah...
Next up is on work which I will probably move on to a new place soon - but the only problem to that is that I am rushing to tidy up a lot of things before handing over and moving to a new location soon. It is still ongoing, and my scheduled time has been delayed to two weeks from now. At this time, my move has been overshadowed by the posting of my colleague which undoubtedly she has done a lot better than me - so she will be missed. Not that I care much though - I intend to carry my lessons learnt to my new place which I aim to do better. Anyway, my new workplace happens to be at Novena - so thank goodness I need not travel so far...
Following up then is the elections just concluded yesterday. Campaigning and publicity for various candidates had been ongoing for a very long time - for myself I took the time to enjoy the mood by attending several rallies - including rallies in my constitutency which had not been contested in 20 years. I will not comment more on the candidates as there are a lot of posts that can found elsewhere, but the conclusion of this is that this is a watershed for Singapore politics and nation-building - with the rise of the post 70 and 80-ers the perception of good governance will differ, and this is here to stay.
On home issues, celebrating the birthday of my nephew was a big thing - he sure can talk and has grown teeth - but he has also grown very stubborn as well - and clamours after my parents who dote him a lot - obviously...haha... but I love him all the same =)
Finally, with my beloved - I suppose the only thing I can say is that we can say is that things have picked up a lot more quickly for us both... mainly because we are pragmatists haha... we have sped up applying for a lot of things and bought some stuff as well...and things have not ended for us yet. Obviously we have experienced our highs and lows especially with the HDB - but life moves on... Will update as soon as there are developments =D
Ok...that's all from me...hopefully more of the good and less of the bad for the rest of the year will do me just fine =)
