Of the Purple Mountains and the Sunken Atlantis
Today i came back to Taiwan!!which was really one of the only few things that kepy me alive throughout the year..its been awhile since i landed my foot on my homeland..and it sure feels nice to breath the familiar air again..Got up at 945 and called for a cab..then my sister,mom and i got to the airport..everything went on fine as usual...the wait for the flight is as usual...very long and boring indeed..and i sat at the viewing gallery..watched the morning sky disappearing behind the threatening clouds..soon it started raining and there i was alone at the viewing gallery...while my mom and sister went shopping..rain splattered onto the big glass windows as huge planes rolled pass the windows..suddenly i felt weary..very tired..and i fell aslp on the couch..finally im able to put everything behind me and enjoy my holiday in taiwan..i guess ive toiled for a year and finally...im tired...so i slept like a baby in the viewing gallery while listening to my discman..soon i was awoken by a vibration in my pocket..it was my hp..it was a msg from Faith and she bidded me farewell..i was bored at that moment..and i was all alone there..so we exchanged msgs for awhile..talked a whole lot of crap..but i do appreciate the fact that she was willing to accompany me on my last few hours in spore..haha..Soon after i fell aslp again...and was again woken by my sister who offered to buy me some drinks from coffee bean..we boarded the plane at 110pm and the plane took off soon after...hahaa...guess who i saw..that dude from ch8's who wants to be a millionaire..hahaa..i was telling my sister the lamest thing to do is to go up to him and say,'BAI WAN DA YING JIA!!'o well..u cant really blame us for starting such a pointless conversation..we were bored..for some reason ive always loved the meals on the planes..though they are not fantastic whatsoever but i like it..my mom seems to hate it though..i watched 'Uptown Girls' on the plane..haha it was a good show..killed a whole lot of time really..At 5pm the plane started to decent..and i peeked out of the window to catch the last ray of sunlight staring out over the clouds..the clouds below were like rainforests..some crests were taller than others and the sun casted its shadows on the backside of the emergents..as the plane decreased its altitude i could see mountain ranges reaching out into the horizon..it looked like a big claw had just scratched the land below..leaving deep marks on the ground..the clouds encircled the mountains..and like an pale white ocean it reached into the encaved side of the mountains..making it look like waves splashing onto a shoreline..for some reason the mountains turned purple under the setting sun..and it was so beautiful i wanted to take a picture of it..but i forgot..damn..then the plane continued to decent..further down there were some clouds at a lower alititude..by this time cities and roads were visible to my naked eyes..and the sight of it peeked through the gaps between the hanging clouds..the clouds were still like an vast surface of an ocean..and beneath it was the city..and it reminded me or the sunken city of atlantis..haha....we touched down in taiwan at about 530 and i met my dad at the arrival lobby..hahaa..he took us to my aunt's house and we had dinner there..gosh it was great...i got my hands on the LOTR tickets!!oh boy it feels so good holding it..after waiting for it for 300 odd days..hahhaa..alright..gtg now..take care ppl!!
