it's chinese new year eve today and i'm officially on a holiday from wednesday (today) till next monday. so to do the math for you, that's 6 days of public holiday for me and i am so gonna lap it all up. apparently there're a cold front appearing from china and is expected to 'reach' taiwan either today or tomorrow. having said that, i'm sitting out in the cold now at 7-11 surfing the net and writing this unwritable and uninteresting entry because of all the filipinos surfing inside in the warm atmosphere of the store. to make matters colder, it's drizzling slightly at a temperature just hovering above 10 degrees. and to make matters worse, if it isn't already, you forgot about the wind. nevertheless, these 6 days of holidays are there for me to enjoy and you bet i'm going to do just that! it's taipei tomorrow. slack the next day. tainan to eat and see see, not to mention squeeze with the horrendous crowds you wish were all thin, on the third day. slack on fourth day. and maybe a nice hot spring bath on the last day of my public holidays run. okay, my hands are now officially cold and numb so forgive me if this entry is short- PS: i didn't expect it to be this long so i suppose you didn't waste your time just reading one sentence that says happy chinese new year to you all. but then again, i just cannot not include this in, especially on this lovely cold eve. so here goes,

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!
(missing you, you and YOU)
