BACK FROM TAIWAN WHOA~~Loved Singapore's weather so much as compared to Taiwan's. Once the plane landed and all i was like YOOOHOOOOO SINGAPORE!!! SHULI IS BACK!!! All right, i admit that i missed this island in the sun A LOT. Anyway, the last 2 days were certainly heart wrenching. The farewell dinner went on surprisingly well and i was the emcee once again. There were some mistakes made and the thing is, it was not my fault.The teacher in charge of my script got a lot of names wrong and my was it awkward. But anyway, i griped control of the situation and it was not so bad. Then cried a lot as we hugged all the Taiwanese and received some presents. It was really sad and all but then parting was inevitable and its part and parcel of life. But some of my friends cried really hard, cos their buddy's family had been exceptionally nice to them and treated them as if they were their children. Mine din really cry, so i didn't get my hopes up. Anyway, its enough with the rest of the Taiwanese around. I really miss them and wonder when will we meet again. Now the worse part was at the airport. That's when all the floodgates open. Just cried. All the hugging, goodbyes and presents. My friend's Taiwanese buddy reached, hugged me and immediately started to sob. She apologised that their attitudes have not been very nice and that they have not treated us very well, causing us to have been very unhappy. Then the two of us just started to cry like mad. After i stopped, we simply took pics with everyone i know and it was all really sweet and warm. More crying resumed, and it was worse when we were going into the gate. My buddy was cool and all that and she din even look sad. Just gave me a light hug and kept saying byebye. I dunno what was behind her body language, but i most certainly was true to myself and i expressed what i felt. Quite sad.. Really miss all the Taiwanese and the great things that they have done for us. The boys especially, were the greatest. They cracked jokes, helped us carry things, bought food for us, took care of us when we were touring the city and helped us wipe our tears away. The musculine hug from them was simply melting and sweet. I will miss them and i already am. Some of the girls were great too, and they treated us very well. Some of them from my class were really nice and the guys were so funny! They kept saying i was hot and all that and took pics of me. So weird~must have left their specs at home. Now that i am back, it all feels so empty and juxtaposed. Like there is nothing to look forward to and no more TIP meetings. So lost. But i guess this is just a process. We have made friends and established really good relationships and had lots of fun and enjoyed ourselves. Hope that we will be able to get to see the Taiwanese really soon and for the Singaporeans, to meet up and still keep in contact. Missing all you Taiwanese buddies!!! |
