Through every argument, through every difference of opinion I have with others, I find out a bit more about myself. Or rather another part of myself is shaped. & I love it. That was why I love debating issues so much. But as one ages, one has to learn social skills, and not contend strongly like an uncivilised peasant. Yet sometimes, you just can't help yourself.
Perhaps I can argue that I am sometimes too passionate about things ;) I just wish I didn't have to hurt people in the process.
I made a decision today, and it being the first day, it was difficult. But this time I am determined to stick to it. I shouldn't continue being so selfish. Oh yes, I am in Taiwan now. (First day. Just came back from Rao He Night Market. It seems like everyone is in Taiwan this holiday.) Which reminds me that I have so much to blog about - I don't think I even got around to blogging about Chiang Rai, which btw, was fabulous.
KL was fantastic - loved meeting up with my cousins, and even though I had a colossal stomachache on the last day. Got my J.Co donuts, tried my hand at Archery (3 bulleyes - talk about beginner's luck), watched Golden Compass & Alvin and the Chipmunks, went for a medical talk, had Vietnamese, helped my cousin get shoes+clutch bag for her prom... had a great time catching up. Experienced yet another bout of kindness from Malaysians. Oh oh oh, I have a new housemate!! Heheh I love Chien <3 She's awesome and I didn't expect us to actually get along haha. I hope we can have minimal conflicts (crossing fingers)!
Look forward to seeing more of Taiwan's jewels tomorrow. Speaking to the locals made me change accent again, and I am reminded of YB. I miss YB. I hope he's doing well. We didn't really talk much towards the end of the year last year, and I kind of regret that. I miss the people I met in Canada. 2007 has been full of emotions, experiences and memories, but also filled with longing too. I'm grateful for those pangs of longing though, because it means our shared moments actually meant something to me. 2007 has been such a long year, I'm almost glad it's ending. Even though January invariably means exams.
Christmas is coming! The birthday of Christ can never be a bad thing :) Yet this year's Christmas will be bittersweet for me, and I might elaborate on that at a later date. For now, hasta luego.
