Closing Time...
Well, folks, I leave here in a few days' time so I guess it's time to bid farewell to this blog. It's been a nice year and I intend to keep it online (for now) but I won't be updating this LJ any more.
I'll be using my other LJ account, kellymeetsworld, to keep on commenting on people's LJ and communities but I won't be using any LJ account as my main blog any ( Read more... ) -
Survey Thingy
I nabbed this one from mlle_germaine...
1. In two words, explain what ended your last relationship? Mutual loss of interest...but we're still very good friends so all's good.
2. When was the last time you shaved? Yesterday.
3. What were you doing this morning at 8 a.m.? Sleeping. :p
4. What were you doing 15 minutes ago? Finishing off my cup of tea and ( Read more... ) -
Seven Days in Taiwan...
Well, this time next week I should (hopefully) be in London, most likely recovering from an 18-hour ordeal journey. I must say I'm not really looking forward to the trip itself as I'm still feeling uneasy about the 'plane plot' and I've never been fond of flying anyway. It also sucks that I have to go without Sander to give me some moral support ( Read more... ) -

Anyone who knows me or has been reading this journal long enough will know that I have a fear of flying. If I was already dreading my 18-hour flight next week on my own, I now have even more of a reason to feel uneasy ( Read more... ) -
Trip to Jilong (Keelung)
It's been over a week since my last post so I promise I'll try to catch up later on. For now, I thought I'd share some of the photos I took at Jilong (or Keelung if you prefer) yesterday. I've gotten myself a Flickr account as I hate having to HTML code my own photo galleries. It'll save me some time plus I can tag the photos and add descriptions ( Read more... ) -
Kyoto Trip (Part 1)
Here's the first part of my long-promised account of my trip to Kyoto. This first part covers our first two days in Kyoto (京都), where we wandered around the city centre, strolled through the Teramachi shopping streets, visited Nijo Castle (二条城) and sauntered through one of the Kyoto's most renowned districts, the Gion District (祇園), a geisha ( Read more... ) -
Shake, Rattle and Roll...
Just had an earthquake over here! Only a 2.0 but my stomach is still lurching a little as it lasted for about a minute or so. Not to mention we live on the 13th floor (12th by British standards). I can only imagine what it must feel like for those living on the 21st floor ( Read more... ) -
After the Deluge...
Things are still pretty wet over here in Taiwan, even after last night's torrential rain. Most of the afternoon has been thundery and rainy and I only hope that it'll be a little drier later when we head out for supper...we're going to our ever-trusty Sushi Express as we feel 'homesick' for Japanese cuisine already. All in all, Taiwanese food is ( Read more... ) -
Wet, Wet, Wet...
I feel that my return to Taiwan has been something of a kick to the head in more ways than one. First of all, it's been a culture shock coming back here after a few days in Japan. The over-politeness experienced in Japan is in complete contrast to the general impoliteness and blatant stares one gets here in Hsinchu. And then there's the visual ( Read more... ) -
Back From Japan...
Back from Japan so I thought I'd say a quick "I'M BACK!!!!". :P ( Read more... )
