annecy: oh wow oh wow somemore

hey prudence,

so you moved to a more exciting project yet ? i m so relaxed right now i cant even imagine working ever again in my life. haha. the trip has been great and i the mix between a hectic trip and a relaxing one is brilliant. hope all is well at your end.


(the lake)

Day 20: a great discovery
so i decided to stay for another night since i am really enjoying relaxing. practically spent the whole day by the lake. just lying there. wanted to hire a canoe out but decided not to but watch the kids play instead. there were this school group and one girl particularly had problem getting into her kayak. i think one side of her bum was larger than the other and she had problem balancing. she over turned twice. got up changed the kayak and tipped over again, change to another one and tipped over again. i was struggling so hard not to laugh. finally she got a 2 seater one and shared with her teacher. i admire her determination though.

i spent the last 18 days taking so many pictures. i have taken like 5.5 gigs of photos already. that shocked alot of travelers when i told them that. most ppl who had already travelled for 3 months have yet to fill up their 2 gigs card. whats amazing is that the place i spent the longest in, i took the least photos. just absorbing the surrounding and the moment.

met this taiwanese chick at the dinner table and decided to extend my stay one more night just so i can hang out with her :P

intermission.

hey prudence.

so you are the only one besides mei who left a comment on my post. one liner, still you bothered. so, i m gonna write this post to you. i did promise mei that she would be the one i first post to when i arrive at amsterdam. consider this a filler. haha. you can sue me but i don't have any professional indemnity insurance, so u will get nothing out of me :p

so i delayed my trip for a month. its all good to sort things out. most of it is good. i get see more of chatswood (contrary to what most of you think, i do really like the job) i finally got to work on something i really like, be exactly where i want to be in my career, and now i'm giving it up ... in 10 days. ironic. is it all worth it ? only time can tell.

also, got to know matthieu who gave me lots of hints on europe, more time to pack and think about where i want to go from here etc, etc, etc. but the one thing i wanted most, i was investing lots of time and effort in, fell the hardest on my face and now i wish i am already gone. well, looking back in a few months or years, this will probably be my very favourite mistake. i can't be an emotional wreck forever. hah. the tide will eventually turn.

i also blamed chris and phil for not making out. and because of that, i didn't get to see you and karina make out. sigh. but we now know the size of karina's mouth. hahahaha

*cra...jxe night
