GoodbyeAlcohol,HelloHangover.

I'm back from Taipei. Thanks guys for missing me. for those who didn't bother, i hope you can live with yourself after this. I bought "Oh! Gravity." before i left, but i didn't even have time to listen to it before i was whisked away to China. I mean, Taiwan.

Taipei was fun. Lots of eating and shopping involved, but when i unpacked today i realized that i actually didn't but much. really! i was kinda shocked as well. i'm kinda wondering where all my money went. somehow the figures don't tally. After separating what i had initially and what i bought, i'm still confused.

okay, let's see:
three Postcards (yes, you have to pay for these little buggers)
one button (to pin on stuff)
one packet of CD covers (with nice illustrations)
three toys (two on keychains, one for a friend)
one baseball cap (which ways MIAO instead of PUMA, and has a housecat leaping over it.)
one mini jigsaw puzzle (with an irritating 9 pieces!)
one razorblade (i wanted to dispose of it after i killed all my friends, but ah, waste not, want not.)
three pairs of spectacles (one pair of aviators, two degree-less frames)
one jacket (vintage madness!)
one pair of jeans (faded; fitting. vintage madness x2!)
one packet of boxers (undies!)
one set of socks (five irritating colors made from recycled yarn. hello kitsch.)
one t-shirt (being sent over by mail. designed and printed in taipei. i met the designer [he was the one who got the t-shirt orders wrong. haha!]. and the pretty sales staff.)
one backpack (in black, the new gold.)
one girls' shirt (not for me, i swear!)
one ladies' cap (for my mom, dummies.)
one fuzzy sweater (from the same shop the aviators and t-shirt is from. i got a 50% discount on it. heh heh. that's right, i am dangerous to sales girls.)
one pair of Converse sneakers (red. just what i always wanted)

i spent almost (or more than) $650. argh. where did my money go? i blame it on the transport fees and roadside snacks (sneaky little buggers). i'm sooo broke now. all i can do is to wallow in self pity and attempt to cheer myself up with Switchfoot. haha.

Anyone want to donate to the "save nick from starvation" fund?

Oh and don't get pissed if i didn't get you anything. luggage space is precious, and i only got stuff for people whom i feel i owe a souvenir to. it's too late to regret not getting me anything now! mwahaha (angels nod in agreement with me.)
