Back from taiwan with lots of stuff

I have been pretty much busy with stuff ever since my ROM.
Recently, I have been hooked on Carousell much, buying and selling stuff at the same time.

I'm quite glad to sell some of my stuff away as I no longer use/wear them, and they are taking a lot of space from my area which I want to try to clear out.

That aside, PL and I have been learning more about each other during the Taiwan trip.
During this trip, a certain issue kept popping up in my mind. "Did we really rush into marriage too quickly?"
Looking back, I think we really did. I don't think we know everything about each other.
Yet, the key point is this: We are committing ourselves to each other.

I know I am the type who gets angry easily. And yes, we did quarrel during the trip.

These two pictures were taken when I was so pissed that I needed a break away from him.

But I admit that he is damn sweet to keep following behind me even though I was showing a very black face.

Spot me sitting there alone.

And the stupid part of it was because we care about each other.

The story goes like this:

We were at some rural parts of Miao Li where we have to walk 900m in the dark on an unlit path to go for dinner. He was upset with the arrangement as the minsu owner didn't offer to drive us down as he felt that it was unsafe for me. So he showed a black face. I was still alright then.

The next day, they shifted us to a more central part of Miaoli where the night market is held. But we have to head back to the Sheng Xing Train station so the minsu owner drove us there, and dropped us at the carpark. That was the part when everything started to fall apart. He was complaining that it would be a very long and dangerous road back to our minsu if we have to walk, and there was no cab in sight. (It was a 5km walk on a mountainous road.) So he showed his black face again. At that point of time, I really felt like slapping him because we were there to enjoy ourselves and I wasn't there to look at his black face.

So basically, he was angry because he felt like he had subjected me to hardship and suffering, and I was pissed because he was angry (and it doesn't help that he is treating me like some helpless female who can't do anything) and then he was angry that I was pissed, making me more pissed, and then his anger turned to worry when I refused to talk to him and shouted at him to just go back to Taipei and walked off on my own.

I am still a little angry by that though, because he made me spent half a day in anger when we could have better spent it doing some more enjoyable stuff. But all in all, it was still a good trip because we got to learn more about each other's quirks.

Review: Learning spanish with Wlingua Spanish

It has already been a dream of mine to learn Spanish but due to the astronomical cost involved in picking up Spanish at a language school ( I was looking at las lilas school ), I gave up. So, while I was randomly surfing the net, I came across this app, Wlingua Spanish , which has a 7 days free premium trial and it seems to have quite good reviews on google play. As such, I downloaded the app and started using it. What can I say, it's awesome! I don't know how the basic plan looks like since I am still on my premium trial, but the layout of the course is really pretty good. According to the app, it covers up to B1 of the Spanish course, which equates to around 3 years of study in a language school. That's more than good enough for beginners like us. Below is a screenshot of my progress in 4 days, and I have been spending around 4-5 hours each day on this app. It seems like I got to take a long time even before I can complete the A1 course. T.T This app has a rewar...

[Review] Lovejoy confinement centre in JB

I did an unthinkable thing, which is to head over to JB for confinement. When I first suggested that, everyone around me warned me against it. They cited the lack of healthcare should I or Hunter is unwell and the inconvenience caused by the distance. I wasn't deterred and pushed forward with it and I didn't have any regrets. I enjoyed my time there tremendously and would go back there again if not for my insistence that I would not have a second kid. All that being said, there are definitely some cons but they are minor issues in my opinion. An unassuming front Pros: Amazing food As everyone knows, food in JB tastes better and the confinement centre is no exception. 5 meals are provided a day with unlimited milo and biscuits should you be hungry. (Trust me, breastfeeding is hungry business). The timings are 9am (breakfast), 12pm (lunch), 3pm (teabreak), 6pm (dinner) and 9pm(supper). As you can see, I was really well taken care of in the food department when I was there. Huge ...

Phonics Class at Curious Thoughts Academy (CTA)

Today, I am going to share my review of the phonics enrichment school that I have been sending Hunter to since start of July 2023. To give you the background, Curious Thoughts Academy (CTA) base its phonics classes on Jolly Phonics, and is located in Bugis. I first got to know about CTA when they launched their phonics workshop. Being the ambitious mum, I thought that I could save some money and teach Hunter phonics by myself. After going through the workshop, I realised the amount of work I have to put in to curate the materials, and I decided that it is best left to the experts and I would just revise the contents with him at home during the week. Below are the information from CTA. They run the classes by terms and classes are tagged by levels. Price List for 2023 Hunter is currently in Intermediate phonics and will be advancing up next year. I love the approach ...

Review: NUR1113 (Active Ageing in Singapore)

Apparently this is a year one nursing module. This is another module which is highly bidded for, and a relatively easy module. Lectures can be skipped, as long as you read the lecture slides on your own. All the information had been pasted into the slides, rendering the lecture useless. The lecturer usually just reads from the slides. Tutorials are easy. Nothing much to prepare, and basically, they are logic questions. I remember doing a powerpoint presentation for this module. We also did random experiments in tutorials. However, one thing not good about being the minority in a close-knitted faculty means that you can't really interact with the rest of the module mates. They all have a similar timetable, meaning that you have to suit their timing. Something to consider if you are taking language modules huh.

Chupitos at Clarke Quay for birthday celebration

It was my first time at Chupitos despite hearing a lot of good things about it. So, on a Friday night at around 8pm, we headed over there to make our friend drunk. The shots were quite quirky and interesting, with all the local names added into the lists. We had a blasted time as the guys were drowning the shots. They ordered paddle pop, milo godzilla, fire bomb, condom and a bunch of other stuff that I don't remember. I only remembered that the bill came up to 200+ for not too many drinks so it was a tad too expensive for my taste. It seems like it is a good place to go to for a hen's night as there was one party going on later in the evening where the female has to drink from a fake penis. Quite a cool concept.
