6/24

It's probably the most tiring transferring experience ever so far in my life that I fell asleep even before taking off!

Yep, I wondered why the flight attendant didn't wake me up and request me straightening my seat but that's when we already left the states of America.

第一次起飛時椅背是斜躺的沒被叫起來拉正,結果滑行中我居然就睡著了,醒來已經在半空中了,

I watched the movie "Just go with it" for free of course.

Everything on the flight from the flight attendant to annoying kids reminded me of Taiwan.

電影就是應該要免費阿!雖然愛情大臨演沒有想像中好看,不過空姐很可愛又能説中文還是讓我變成了有禮貌的乖寶寶。

And I was able to just go with them i.e. sleeping all the way.

早餐是鹹稀飯,還不錯吃只是三點半是不是有點太早了••••••••••••這樣不能調時差吧••••••••••••

再配上哭鬧的小孩••••••••••••我也好佩服我自己能睡的著。

After a soft landing, here comes my home country I've been leaving for almost an year!

Where's the free wifi service in the airport though, I wondered.

降落出乎意料的平穩,只是説好機場免費無線網路呢!?

It's been quite a while since I left: some new routes of the airport bus service and like most western visitors do: scared by the hasty drivers!

坐到市府轉運站比北車貴55元感覺有點唬

綁辮子了@@
台灣的交通果然很亂,

DSC07665.JPG


Arriving back at home, it's not a pleasant fact to discover all my stuff had been moved; my sister committed a room exchange without my help, not a model example for independence either!

就跟家裡一樣:S

After having fruits and dumplings as my first meal in Taiwan, I went to NTU thanks to my friend's ride.

回台灣的第一餐是水果大餐加粽子,都還來不及沖澡就給許帥載去學校,

As it's already six years from the day I enrolled in NTU, it's not surprising yet still a bit sentimental unable to meet anyone in campus.

路上都是不認識的人,報完帳後上一下網,台大的網速果然是有夠快的!!

Well, a friend of mine did make a phone call, asking me to pay off a hundred bucks I borrowed before......

林鼎堯非常會挑timing的打電話給我叫我還100元,

Then I rode my motorcycle home, a little bit clumsy as it's almost an year since the last time I gave it a ride but still made a safe way home; the sweating weather is actually my biggest concern now....:s

之後騎車回家吃飯,台北好熱阿....

Liang, my friend from Hong Kong, called me after lunch; he's going to start his bicycle tour recently and I'm more than happy to be his first host!

回到家吃個午餐,終於和永亮取得聯繫就叫他坐計程車過來,

As Mom's much more a hospitable person than me, it's not surprising at all that we're gonna have a big dinner tonight!

老媽買了一堆東西回來,拼裝晚餐很豐盛 :P

Despite the annoying rain we had tonight, we went to a mobile store to figure how the data plans work; it actually works pretty well as long as dialed the right way while there isn't any plan that attracts me.....I simply can't understand why surfing 3G is sooooo expensive in Taiwan..:s

雖然雨一直下我們還是走到台哥大門市來發現永亮電話前面沒加零所以打不通,

話說Ipad2 data plan最便宜的要755還要拿台灣購買發票給他看....有點白癡

There are simply so many things on the to do list tonight; in addition to my own troubles, I wonder if Liang can still go on his bike tour as the rain keeps raining the whole night!

去愛買買了一些東西後回到家洗完澡9點多撐不住就昏迷到一點起來繼續處理信件

GRE別再來亂了啦......放過我好嗎@"@,家裡都還沒時間收耶.....:(

三點了不覺得累反而是覺得肚子餓.....該說是華航教的好嗎...? 囧

雨一直下....永亮他們真的有辦法去環島嗎@?@

四點了趕快來睡@@

-----------------------

6/25

Went to bed at 4 in the morning, it's a miracle I still woke up after 4 hours.

However, the pouring rain outside still made me late for the appointment with my eye doctor.

凌晨四點睡可以八點多起床我覺得自己好強,只是外面風雨好大所以我拖了一下才出門,結果眼科就爆掉了,

After waiting for more than 2 hrs, it's finally my turn.

等了兩個多小時才換我,出國念高中申請到MIT的弟弟好強,不過人生境遇各有不同,堅持,堅持。

My junior high school friend Hoshino Yoshie and I hang out at northeast coast in the afternoon after realizing that neither of us will have fun shopping.

下午跟星枝先到東區晃晃但我們倆都不是逛街的料,那還是騎車到海邊走走吧!

DSC07667.JPG DSC07669.JPG DSC07670.JPG DSC07674.JPG

Time flies that not only the scenes at white-sand bay had changed, the road there seemed less familiar to me as well!

Well, my strength in having fun did stay as before though!

白沙灣也變了、路上的風景也變了,不變的是我的專業景點介紹,讓你看看玩樂人的厲害(踹)

Chatted with Dou for half an hour; this should be the last time you shed tears for me!

跟豆豆講了半小時的電話,這是我最後一次讓你哭!!


6/26

Another night sleeping less than 3 hrs; somehow I bring the pre-exam mode back to Taiwan huh?

三點半才去睡結果六點又自動起床,無敵模式終於被帶來台灣了嗎!?

I went to the basketball competition between NTUCE students in different years.

As an imported foreign player, I think I played okay even though I haven't outdoors for an year and I'm not even wearing my own shoes!

吃完早餐以後出門去打系級賽,抵達時剛好開賽,身為旅外球員打個先發不過分吧,雖然一年沒打室外場,穿得不是自己的鞋.....

DSC07680.JPG

I couldn't join the semi-final game as my high school classmate Vanessa's wedding is next in the afternoon!

It's always a good thing having a friend getting married, especially when she thoughtfully arranged you sitting next to her beautiful friend.....I guess it would be much more awkward if she were my girlfriend ten months rather than ten years ago.....:s

Vanessa婚禮

DSC07712.JPG DSC07714.JPG DSC07715.JPG DSC07720.JPG

I seemed to played a bit too hard today that I fell asleep on the massage chair after arriving home.....

看樣子今天早上這樣打球有點中暑...直接在按摩椅上昏迷


-----------------------


6/27

I slept a bit longer today, still waking up before 9 though...never enjoy jet lag so much before..@@

賴床居然是八點半起床@@

It's been even longer since the last time I visited SSSH, the senior high school I attended.

松高好久不見

Then I went to NTU, signing up an agreement that I'll come back to Taiwan for the mandatory military service after completing my master degree.

台大簽保證書

I went to an all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu restaurant for lunch with my classmates in SSSH.

I kept overturning plates and bows throughout the meal but surprisingly our servers today were as nice as my friends that we still enjoyed the meal very much!

魯山人狂打翻東西,感謝店員&沛沛努力消彌尷尬

DSC07721.JPG

Went to Taipei city hall, where Mom works, and signed another agreement....I feel like selling myself!

市府簽賣身契,騎腳踏車去市場

The high temperature again brought me down on the massage chair after I arrived home.

氣溫高好沒精神直接昏睡@@


-----------------------


6/28

Went to the hospital for annual health check; make it even quicker this year as I have a date later!

迅速健康檢查

Well, girls always keep guys waiting and today is of no exception; I tried to use the wifi but wasn't able to log in....I missed the free wifi in the states...:s

美女都要人等的,去麥當勞但是不知道帳密失敗

My companion today is Yaya, my cute senior classmate in SSSH.

We went to small towns in mountains of northern Taiwan.

Lots of local snacks and souvenirs actually didn't cost much but brought us tons of fun.

菁硐&十分瘋狂的買紀念品

九份吃了一些不錯的小吃&看到驚人的出殯陣容@@

DSC07729.JPG DSC07731.JPG DSC07732.JPG DSC07734.JPG

After having dinner at the night market near my place, we went to Yang-Ming-Shan national park to enjoy the night view and continue chatting.

It's already midnight when I I went to bed; the earliest record after arriving back at Taiwan!

饒河街吃晚餐,陽明山看夜景聊是非到半夜
有點累........12點應該是回台灣最早睡的一天

-----------------------

6/29

After having lunch and some further chatting with Yaya, I had my hair cut after a long line; having long hair is totally not a good idea in hot countries like Taiwan!

早上賴了個床睡到10點半,再到永和找小雅學姐吃個義大利麵,下起了大雨就順便去學姐家躲雨,到17歲了還可以跟兩個姐姐睡不知道是好還是壞....家家有本難念的經阿弟弟,等了很久以後終於換我剪頭髮了,新造型還蠻有趣的,

DSC07735.JPG DSC07736.JPG DSC07739.JPG

Thanks to Benjamin, I don't have to have my first dinner in Taiwan alone.

Then I went to his office, meeting Roger and his girlfriend, who happened to go to the same physics cram school with me in senior high on the way; what a small world!

感謝檢中救援當晚餐伴,在電梯裡遇見了Roger&他的女朋友.................這真是個小世界@@,

DSC07739-1.JPG

Benjamin's office is also comfortable, maybe it's the universal strategy from the professors to keep their students in the lab; this can't guarantee the working efficiency though........

晚餐後加入營管研究室,也是個舒服的地方難怪研究生不分國籍都喜歡待研究室.......

Back at home and chatted with Noriko on Skype; she's going to pursue her master degree in MIT and was successfully admitted!

Congrats and good job girl!

Noriko要去MIT了,厲害。

-----------------------

6/30

I guess the ground servant of China airline didn't send out my keys at all; breaking one's promise is much easier than building it, I'll say.

鑰匙根本就沒寄吧.....現在對華航的印象又不好了 = =

I thought about cleaning my room but I kept falling asleep; I guess I had too much fun last night!

雖然想收房間,但是本日一直昏睡,昨天晚上太耗體力啦....

-----------------------

7/1

First day of July, the first thing to do is to get my laptop checked before the warranty expires.

After a quick update, now it goes much faster!

七月了,早上先去Lenovo修電腦,更新完以後電腦乖多了,

We had a farewell party for graduating students near NTU at noon; thanks to the thoughtful junior classmates from SSSH!

胡同外等了一陣子後進去吃pizza送舊,辛苦你了會長就甘心,

DSC07740.JPG

I planned to get things regarding study abroad done but the person in charge took her day of today.

I went to have my motorcycle checked in the afternoon instead, costing me another 600 bucks; of course it does work better afterward.

陳小姐請假於是離開台大去修車,又噴了600元,不過車子終於比較正常了,

After taking a short rest, I had dinner together with my classmates in senior high.

We always have endless chatting but tonight our conversation kept being interrupted as I went to the lavatory every now and then; I guess there's sth wrong with the food.... ;s

Apparently not a good 600 deal@

回家休息一下出門來個116小聚,好多事情能聊大家都過的還不錯只是我一直跑廁所.....食材看樣子不怎麼新鮮阿....這樣居然要六百多實在是有點傻眼.........,

DSC07742.JPG

It's already 11 PM when we finished; luckily I was still able to catch a bus home.

Tired with the slow net speed, I guess it's time to bed!

轉眼間11點多了趕快各自鳥獸散,好險還有等到公車,只是回家好累網路又好慢...還是來睡覺吧。

-----------------------

7/2

Woke up early to catch the train to Taichung as the first ALCer's wedding is this Sunday!

I still can't figure out why but the elder lady sitting between us just wouldn't exchange her seat with us, leaving one seat empty and me standing on the aisle for the two hour trip!

早起匆匆忙忙趕火車,大嬸不知道在堅持什麼硬要擠在我們中間害我站了快兩個小時都只能玩大風吹,

We hanged out and had lots of fun as if back in the summer of 2008 at Stanford yet this time in central Taiwan.

After leaving our baggages in the hotel right across the street from the train station, we had our lunch at the famous hot pot restaurant.

DSC07744.JPG DSC07749.JPG DSC07751.JPG DSC07756.JPG

We also tried the tea store stemmed from this city.

到台中火車站正對面旅館放下行李後前進鼎王。計程車日前進鼎王、春水堂

DSC07757.JPG DSC07758.JPG DSC07759.JPG DSC07761.JPG

Speaking of beautiful campus, Tunghai university is always top in the ranking.

東海大學校園挺美麗&冰不錯吃。

DSC07761-1.JPG DSC07761-2.JPG DSC07762.JPG DSC07766.JPG

Feng Chia night market, one of the biggest and most famous night markets in taiwan, is already crowded even though it's just 3 in the afternoon!

三點來到逢甲夜市已是人山人海,

DSC07767.JPG

We first played some games in the arcade since we were still a bit full.

Then we continued our journey of food and returned to our room with beer and local souvenirs.

投籃機&Hockey王出爐後來個十字路口料理東西軍,腳底按摩後買個太陽餅&酒回旅館,

The apps on my iPad is fun but truth or dare is much more exciting when friends get together; We truly appreciate Flora's affair that marked the highlight tonight!

tap tap & bang好玩不過真心話更精彩,感謝&恭喜Flora救援,

Sleep over is another tradition for ALC gathering; the only problem we squeezed ten people, originally devided in two rooms into one!

Yes, gentlemen like me will lie on the floor and leave the bed and the couches for the
ladies in this condition and I'm of no exception!

混到快四點又是個全員sleep over,補個日記轉眼之間快五點了趕快來睡一下。只是沙發很小,真男人只好去睡地板。

DSC07769.JPG

7/3

Woke up early, taking a shower but got wet again after walking a while in the burning sun.

早起洗澡但走個路又滿身汗

DSC07770.JPG

Being held at the most famous hotel around sun-moon lake, Wen's wedding is not only the most luxurious one but also the youngest ever, both the newest couple and their guests; actually it feels more like a graduating party to me but thanks and congrats anyway!

婚禮看來很花錢,年輕的婚禮

DSC07775-2.JPG DSC07777-1.JPG DSC07777-5.JPG DSC07777-6.JPG

After having the meal, which was actually below my expectation, it's picture time AGAIN yet this time with the new couple and I have to "like" how convenient it is to share photos through my iPad!

DSC07777.JPG DSC07780-1.JPG DSC07783-1.JPG DSC07783-2.JPG
DSC07783-4.JPG DSC07783-5.JPG DSC07783-6.JPG DSC07783-7.JPG

All in all, best appreciation and best wishes to this lovely couple!

菜不怎樣,拍照卡實在。

四點搭車回台北,用ipad要圖好方便。

Chatted with Amber and also took some rest on the way home.

跟Amber聊聊天後睡到西湖休息站,快要到時再來個Amber老師劇場,精彩精彩,可惜沒有續攤,那就坐久違的284回家吧

Felt tired and there's no Internet home, guess I should go to bed!

回到家覺得超累,又不能上網於是超早就睡覺

-----------------------

7/4

Now it gets rush again as I was told I'll have do all the paperwork by myself again today, basically 5 days before my heading to the States again....... got to gear up!

原來手續要自己辦......今天才跟我說真的有點搞人...結果又搞到跟去年的一週計畫一樣趕了,

DSC07786.JPG

After working for the entire day, I successfully completed and handed in all the forms in time; still annoyed by this boring routine though.

到總圖開始趕資料,不吃午餐的驚人效率終於在五點前把流程跑完,希望能順利出國,

My sister is moving back home after enjoying her own space and suffering from the rent for several months; still can't figure out why she bought even more things than I did!

晚上去幫姊姊搬家,哪裡買來這麼多東西啊....= =?

Got the discounted flight ticket after arriving home, can't wait to continue exploring the States!

上線發現機票特價趕快買,波特蘭我來嚕!!

As the date returning to the states is approaching, the jet lag effect also fade off gradually.

最近晚上都好早就想睡@@

-----------------------

7/5

Sleep until 10:30.

Went to momo Paradise, an all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu restaurant which I always feel full earlier than I thought, for lunch with my classmates in college.

睡到10點半,出門吃有種莫名會讓人感覺很飽吃不下能力的MOMO,

DSC07788.JPG

Overwhelmed in the iPad tapping game, I had no choice but to find my esteem back through real basketball combat.

tap tap狂輸好崩潰,只好靠籃球贏回一點自尊,

Woops.... I forgot to apply the credit exchange before the office closes..... :s

忘了去辦學分抵免了= =


-----------------------

7/6

Woke up early to school but spent too much time on the net that I still missed the best timing to visit the office.

早起到學校只是宅太久結果好像錯過了發公文的好時間,接下來繼續總圖宅

Kept surfing the net until dinner; thanks to my pretty companion tonight!

晚餐救援王

DSC07790.JPG

Discovered another great way to use my iPad: as a drawing board; now e-signature is easy for me.

見識到了總圖電扇哥也同時發現Ipad2簽名好用

Realize my mouse was just out of battery rather than out of order; shouldn't have get a new one so quickly.... :s

原來之前滑鼠也沒壞......囧


-----------------------

7/7

Again sleep late until 10:30.

Just when I was about to leave home, my Hongkongese friend called to report their returning from bicycle trip around the island, not really completed but still pretty admirable.

又不小心睡到了十點半@@"

正準備出門的前一刻香港人打電話來說在附近..........哪招阿大佬

Then I went to another all-you-can-eat restaurant for lunch, this time with my mom though.

DSC07791.JPG

家裡沒有網路真的好崩潰............囧

It's really inconvenient not having Internet at home....

-----------------------

7/9

Went to the doctors and get my contacts back, started feeling discomfort however.....

And that kept me on the toilet for most of the rest of the day in the toilet..... miserable....!

早起去看完眼睛後回家開始拉肚子....一整個不舒服

即使最後的晚餐挺豐盛,但下午&傍晚都在昏睡&馬桶上度過.....好悲情
