Day 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47 Almost Comes Till The End

I think this will be my second last article for the trip to Taiwan.


Today was an awesome day since the teachers and the kids had organised the farewell party for me before I leave. I really appreciate and felt thank you for all of them because of the willingness to accept all of the things about me. I hope the kids can remember what I taught them and I promise I will visit Taiwan again if there is a chance.


Last day in Taitung is quite sentimental. Karolina is playing the songs for going back home. Yeah, I do miss my home, family and friends. I can't wait to see them again.


Yesterday I had cooked spaghetti and made some cocktail for them and I am glad that they had enjoyed the dishes I made. Thanks to Ekuan for cooking the awesome Bak Kut Teh. I really prefer this than the regular one. We shall meet again during in Malaysia, my friend. Please take more pictures about they both (the big and small guys), haha!


I gonna miss all the people I met in Taiwan and the scenery and things here as well. See you all in future.


p/s: 1) I love the t shirt and bracelets that are given by the big boy. It was surprising. Thank you ^^

The following pictures are the memories I get from these few days.


The view of the small town I live during I am in Taitung. The name of this town is called "Qi Zi Tou"


One of the stalls in night market. It reminds me of "Gold Fish Uncle", haha!


The snacks they had for my farewell party =)



The clever kid who is in his Year 5 in primary school. He is good in playing Chinese Chess.


My favourite student =) He is good in learning and he listens to the elders.



The kids sat properly and listened to the boss during my farewell party.


The girl who quits the school and work from now. She is unwillingly to let me take the photo so I just secretly take one from behind =P


My gifts from the kids, they are lovely.



Watching the kids playing infront and behind the book house. Some of them are really uncontrollable but it was okay.


Lastly, the night view of my book house! I had great memories from here <3


p/s : 2) Today will be the last day in Taitung, tomorrow I will be on the train to Taipei! Yeah! Please no typhoon =(

Day 37, 38, 39, 40 Conclusion for These Days

Aha! I want to say hello again to all my blog fans, thank you for supporting me from all around the world. It has been 4 days I never update my conditions here in Taitung (I have a thick face, hahaha!)


Basically I went to cycle with the kids during Saturday and it was tiring yet exciting. Why it was tiring? This is because it cost us 4 hours to finish the whole journey - go and back from Taitung city. The roads were fine to me but I really hate the moment where we had to cycle up to the hills especially on the journey back to the book house. We had no time for resting since the sky was getting dark around 7.00pm so we had to rush. As results, I got a very bad condition for my legs and ass. They were really really PAIN! ='(
Oh! I think I forget to mention about the European girls who had gone to Green Island to enjoy while we both cycled with the kids. I think it worth because I will never have the second chance to be with them (the kids and teachers) but I still have the chance to go to Green Island next time. Haha! The girls had sun burn on their skin and they are really HOT now =P



The preparation before cycle go to the town


The next day I went to Taitung city with Ekuan (another Malaysian) for shopping. Obviously I spent a lot (I think all my friends know about that =P) Some of the things here are cheaper but since the value Malaysian money always drops, it has became expensive for me. Besides that, we had tried the famous "Bi Tai Bak" in Taitung and honestly the noodles look alike to Penang laksa and not really alike to Malaysian's "Bi Tai Bak" . The only different is the soup used is different and they eat "Bi Tai Bak" with soup or black soy bean sauce.



Famous Bi Tai Bak shop which is already more than 40 years old


I love the environment here. It is so similar to Malacca shops =)



The dishes we had in the shop =)


Today I had introduced Malaysia to my kids and the teachers in the book house. I hope they can learn something new and interesting from me. 


Only around 7 days left and I have to say goodbye to Taiwan soon. I think I gonna miss everything and everyone I know here =)

Day 33, 34, 35, 36 Typhoon in Taiwan

The day to leave Taiwan is getting nearer and nearer. I think I will miss here, since everything has became part of my life right now. I love the peace here, maybe plus a little natural disaster that I never experienced before in Malaysia.


One of the teachers told me just now : " Oh, I do not know that Malaysia does not have Typhoon. Maybe someday you will miss the monkeys wake you up everyday by jumping up and down on the roof, and the strong wind that can cause damage to the buildings and trees. "


Hmm, these are really good and brand new experiences for me. However, I miss my family and friends in Malaysia. I think I need some time to get back into normal life in Malaysia when I go back to the country. I miss the food and the places I live and I stay, so I just can't wait until 15/8 and take my flight back.


From this exchange, I think it definitely has changed my mind and something inside my heart. I want to get into a better and new life. Say goodbye to old Hoi Peng and say hello to the new me, a brand new Hoi Peng with more mature thinking. Those hard feelings or sadness had gone away from me. I feel that I start to become more patient than last time. I love the kids in the book house and I hope I can help them to become a better person in future.


I am going to celebrate my 22nd birthday on coming October and I hope I can welcome it happily. Be more confident to myself and I think I can speak more in front of people now. Aza!


p/s : Waiting patiently for my favourite drama!
