hi!
back from taipei.
I guess the highlight of our time there was that we perspired buckets cause its just so freaking hot and humid over there. Temperatures could soar to a skin searing 35 degrees on a normal day.
We had to get huge sun hats, wear our sunglasses, apply sun protection and in the night, fend off blood sucking mosquitoes and houseflies.
Apart from the weather though, the place was awesome.
Taiwanese have to be one of the friendliest and welcoming people i have ever met.
Wherever we got lost or can get our navigation right, there are no lack of people to turn to for help. And there were even people who took a detour and lead us all the way to our destination.
Such kind souls i tell you.
I guess, i will try to upload pictures.
But as you know, it probabaly will never happen cause im just too lazy
School experience started on tuesday, this week i am at East View Primary school.
I have to say, primary school kids are not as irritating as i thought they would be. In fact, i am actually growing to like them.
I got assigned to the best and not so good classes and the stark difference in the students behaviour kinda took me by surprise.
The tail end classes, surprisingly were more out spoken and asked more questions while the better classes were more afraid to ask questions and give answers
weird right?
and its very weird when they call me teacher.
"teacher teacher! are you coming to our class again? come in! can i go toilet?"
I was watching the michael jackson tribute this morning from 1am to 4am and i had to go to school at 630am.
I know! Crazy!
But i reckoned this tribute would only come once in my entire living years so what the heck man.
Well, i cried like a baby.
Its just so sad to see such a talented man pass way before his time.
I somehow think that the world would change after his comeback concert, but it was never meant to be.
And the finale when Paris jackson broke down just tore me apart.
I still think that the man is innocent and remeber having a heated debate over this issue with mr wei heng who thinks that man is wacko.
The world would never see another artist, singer, performer like Michael Jackson, thats for sure.
His global dominace was one and only.
I think with the way we are able to get music and entertainment now, it is impossible to produce another MJ ever-EVER.
I really love the quote from one of the reverend, he told MJ's 3 children,
"There was nothing strange with your daddy, it was strange what he had to deal with, but he dealt with them all."
touche to that.
The power of the media in pushing people to desperation.
So, right now, its goodbye to a world icon, one of my favourite artist of all time.
RIP Michael Jackson!
your songs are on heavy rotation on my playlist.
I will be buying your cds and dvds soon.
I remeber my dad had a laser disc of his History album, but i have no idea where it is anymore.
