I suppose it is time for me to do myself justice to blog down my trip to Taipei, Taiwan. The last proper entry is like a month ago. Its been a month of bad after taste since I've got to work on projects that are not my interest. I'm going to write about a few things beside the trip.
Going to Taiwan was initially a plan to see how a cafe; namely Chocozing function. Since my colleague name Abby wants to head to Taipei and see for herself if its a good choice to follow the business module. Anyway I tagged along to see the world, so called as it will be my virgin trip outside of Singapore and Malaysia. the trip lasted from 21th - 27th and prior to that, It was my battalion anniversary. Its screwed-up and messy, kudos to the organisers for not being more aware and prepared for the event. I've worked on a presentation that anniversary and it turned to trash just because the organisers didn't do a test run. Wasted the efforts of me and Leon. Fucking bad feelings. And soon after that I had to rush home and pack my things for the trip. However I was not able to sleep until I rush a flyer and poster for my client, a makeover studio. Why do I rush, cause they simply give me the necessary photographs of their ugly models on the last day itself. Want to print on Saturday, demands work of Friday. Fucktards. The most stupid thing is the photos they provided for me is horrible, they did not care for the products they crunch out, even though they're a make over studio, making photographs look good. In the end I finished the job yet received a call from my client saying my work its not interesting and boring, they want flashy stuff. Whatever. I couldn't bother about them anymore, I used to, but I realise they are just shitheads wanting to make many fast money, lusting for the success of another makeover studio in Suntec. Bunch of fuckheads. They didn't realise at this era, the consumers hold power, if your product sucks , I'm just go to another service provider, being the cheapest priced studio ain't helping the sales for being a commodity of junk work.
Back to the trip. It really started very bad on 21st morning, I had to wait for my mother as she insist sending me off. Yeah I know, its her love but I cannot stand her stubborn attitude of wanting me to bring medication pills , in her words, I will get nausea, vomit, flu as I going there for the first time. Paranoia. And we both left around 11am, my flight is 1pm, check in is at 12 pm. I would feel much better if i took the taxi, but to my disappointment, the paranoid one wants to take the MRT, why? cheap fares. Along the the MRT journey she ceaselessly prattles about I shouldn't feel stress up, do my work early. prepare early, should have do this and that. Its very idiotic to dwell on the past and become part of the problem and not the solution to comfort a person. Ladies and aunties please be aware that males do not appreciate nagging, just focus the task at hand and we will feel much much happier. In the end it adds up to my extreme frustration of being late and had to follow the wishes of someone NOT able to think and act with intelligence and wisdom. Cheap fares weights more to see your son in comfort and reach the flight on time, wow, pissed me off way off the charts. In the end I got of Bedok station and flagged a taxi. She still insist on continue with the MRT ride. I reached the airport and ran to the check in counter. Got my thicket and went in to the departure hall. That point, I had to force myself to acknowledge the paranoid one is there. I couldn't be more happy to leave her. I wasn't even thinking about any friends or relative, right at that point going to Taiwan seems more of a relieve to leave problematic people behind. But one thing that lacks from the beginning to the end of the trip is excitement. I feel empty inside, not happy as one would expect going overseas for the first time.
