Last weekend I got to attend one of my ex-secondary school teacher’s wedding. Got to see some of the old GB girls from my batch. Reminded me of all the great memories I had while I was still a GB girl. Sigh. Oh, more pictures on Facebook.
Oh, it’s also the first time I got invited to a wedding via Facebook. Haha. Facebook is oh-so-awesome huh? The wedding was rather sweet and Miss Tay (now officially Mrs Goh!) was as bubbly as ever. And I even have a video on Facebook for the ‘You may now kiss the bride’ moment. Hehe.
Didn’t get to catch up much though. And we were all really tired at the end of the day. Plus, my poor feet (sigh, heels) were covered in blisters. Hopefully we’ll get to meet up soon for a major catch-up session? Yes, girls? Heh.
Speaking of catch-up, our dearest Korean friend, Moo Hwan, suddenly appeared online on MSN today! It was so, so good to talking to him again. I thought my Korean friends disappeared! (H not counted)
Apparently they don’t use MSN much anymore, and Jinho and Jungbin has gone into the army! And soon Moo Hwan will be going in too. Like so fast! I thought they’d finish uni first. But then again, I’m not sure when do they finish.
So that explains the disappearance of (some) our Korean friends. The army!
Moo Hwan was struggling with the Facebook system – he couldn’t find his high school and college. Doh. But he pulled through and remarked that I should get Cyworld (because I was complaining WHY ONLY 6 PICTURES?! I was curious how he was doing now, what). Anyway, I did have Cyworld (which is all in Korean and my eyes almost popped out of their sockets and my brains almost exploded while I was setting it up) and thus that was where I got the pictures from. Hehe.
Moo Hwan was so amused because I could type Junnie’s name in Korean, I managed to get myself into Cyworld (although half the time I have no idea what I was clicking on that site) and er… guess that the whole chunk of Korean words on his ID was an address. Quoting from him, he said that I’m ‘an amazing girl’. Thank you, took you long enough to find out. Hehe. That guy is still the same. Not much about him has changed! His humor and the things he says, still very much still the same Moo Hwan I met at SSIS. Sigh, they’ve been missed! I hope he’ll drop by Singapore during the winter. He is hesitating because he claims that Singapore has ‘weird laws’, for example, no gum. Haha. That’s about the only weird law I can think of, nothing else right? Haha.
Now, all these makes me think the internet is the awesome-est invention EVER! See, Australia should so invest in unlimited internet access! It’s such a useful tool to keep in contact with people, especially those overseas and all. And especially when there’s this thing that I learnt during Geography called ‘Globalisation’. Distances between countries is somewhat ‘reduced’ as technology develops. People travel more, businesses go international and people are able to extend their social networks beyond their home country. So how do we keep in touch? THE INTERNET! Letters take forever to arrive, by the time the other party receives it, whatever was written would be old news. So yeah, email is awesome. Things like Facebook totally rocks.
I am hereby declaring my love for the INTERNET (:
I’m such a geek, seriously.
Hi there,
I found some of your past posts because I was trying to find information on being in the studio audience at “Guess” or “Variety Big Brother” in Taipei! Can you PLEASE tell me how you arranged it on your trip?? I don’t read Chinese and it’s really hard to find information! Thanks so much!
Erin
Hi Erin,
I’m not too sure how exactly do you get to go on the show because during my trip I had a friend, who was doing an attachment in Taiwan, who offered to arrange it for me. From what I know, you’ll have to call up the TV station and arrange with the people there. They’ll let you know what time to arrive etc. I’ve only been to “Guess” so I’m not too sure if the same thing applies for “Variety Big Brother”.
I’ve found the number to call for “Guess”: 02-2781-3888, if you’re calling from taipei using the local phones omit ‘02′.
I hope the number still works. Anyway, before I went over I did a fair share of homework, besides googling, you can try checking out forums. It does not have to be a travel forum, usually forums will have a sub-forum for other categories. One of which I’ve read through is Cozycot. Feel free to post up questions as they’re usually pretty friendly folks, some of which are seasoned travelers to Taiwan.
I’m sorry I’m not much of a help. Have a nice trip and I hope you’ll enjoy Taiwan as much as I did!
you win already! you got more random reading your blog then mine ha ha ha! maybe nobody search ‘breastfeeding sucks’ ha ha
Haha, no idea what do people search for then stumble upon my blog. Anyway, I only get less than 15 people a day coming here.
I so agree with you. Unlimited internet access in Australia would be so good. Ah well, that is life I guess. I am glad I at least have internet and can go on facebook. Heaps good to be able to go onto something that has so many different things on it to relax and unwind after a hard day at uni :p You should have okay internet access when you come over, if you are in the uni. Otherwise I am not sure about the suburbs. I get pretty good internet access here.
