resurrection! (trip to taiwan!)

yo people, havent blogged for a long time, didnt really have the time to and basically most of the time lazy to lah actually

so what's up! the new year has arrived, and then the chinese new year has past, and many things have happened!

one of the best and most significant event that has taken place would be the trip to dwen an, it was such a joy working with everybody there, and it was a really good experience, 合作愉快哦!

okay it's like 2.40am now, and i'm pretty half dead, and since a picture says a thousand words, i shall just end this post with quite a few thousands words, taken from taiwan! with credit to jocelyn and shimin and all the people whom i took the pictures from (because i didnt bring a camera =( )

Note: i have to apologise for the messed up order of the pictures, as they're not according to any particular order as blogspot's method of uploading the pictures is really weird, so they're just kind of random pictures here and there =)

anyway, the pictures are great =) (click on the pictures to view full resolution =) )

the actual day leading the kids, they're all super cute =)
