end of holidays

I spent most of my holidays in my parents' place so I ended up doing nothing most of the time. I really feel like going to some isolated beach on an tropical island with someone.

I stayed in Taipei on the first day of this long vacation just so that I could attend the over-crowded Chinese New Year Special Edition of body combat class, where the hot instructor also participated in the instruction. I decided to come back to Taipei one day before the holidays ended so that I could attend the class taught by the hot instructor on Sunday morning, just to make up the two classes taught by the same hot guy during the holidays when I was not in Taipei.

I went to a body combat class in Taichung branch. The instructor in Taichung was good at the combat moves, but I didn't like the music he chose; nor could he compare to the hotness of the über-hot instructor in Taipei. haha

I realized that I just wrote a blog entry without making any constructive points. (oh, well... 又是花癡文一篇)

Kenting

I had a lot of fun in Kenting last weekend with my company.

We stayed in the best hotel in Kenting and I really enjoyed my stay there. I swam almost everyday in the hotel pool, or just lay by the pool, daydreaming. I also did something adventurous: I went surfing for the first time in my life.

Well.... I didn't actually surf on the waves or anything. I just lay on the surfing board and pedalled with my arms out towards the sea and then towards the land. I repeated this exercise for hours. I also tried standing up, but then I just fell into the water. I was also hit by my board on the head several times. Ouch! It still hurts today.

I also hiked along the last section of the coast in Taiwan without an actual road. We had to cross a hill about 200 meters in height. There were several steep sections where we had to climb on ropes. It was a really good hike. It's a pity that they will construct a road here in a few months, ruining the last bit of the primitive coastal land in Taiwan.

Moon Festival Day

Well... today is Moon Festival Day, and a typhoon day, too so it was raining all day today.

California Fitness was closed all day today so I couldn't go work out, or attend the Body Combat class taught by the cute and hot instructor. I even found out the time and location of his three classes on Sunday.

I went to the food court at the Xinyi Eslite Bookstore to have lunch. This is a picture of my half-eaten Eelfish on Rice. It's kind of small and not so nutritious, but I don't really care. I had to eat by myself again. That's what I don't like...

After lunch I went to the bookstore (actually I was at the bookstore for some time before lunch already). I picked up PS. I Love You and read a few pages.

Although I had seen the movie and knew the story, I still felt sad from the first few pages. It made me feel like crying, especially the part where they were fighting who should go turn off the bedroom light before bed, and somebody's feet were too cold. I even feel sad as I am writing about this.

I bought the book even though I hadn't finished The History of Love, just so that I can read it later on. Maybe there's more about the story than what the movie can present. Well... I was also thinking about buying the DVD, too, but I didn't. Maybe I will some day.

I didn't have any barbecue for Moon Festival Day, not even a barbecue restaurant for the occasion. Well, I went to a nice sukiyaki restaurant (Momo Paradise) 2 days ago with two college friends. It was very good. Let's just treat it as a tribute to the moon even though the sky had been moody for days. At least I got to have lots of nice beef at the sukiyaki restaurant.

Happy Birthday DJ !!!

Today is my DJ's birthday. I am wishing him a happy birthday with two photos of cake.

They are cakes from Rivon and they all look delicious. The left one is caramel macchiato, and the right one is coffee. YUM !!!

Christmas Day

It's Christmas Day today, and I have a day off, but DJ doesn't. I decided to go to the gym in the morning for a 30-min jog, and then in the afternoon for a 50-min training on my biceps. It's the first time I tried working out like this, aerobiccs in the morning and weight training in the afternoon. It was nice though.
