Made in Taiwan

Well, the past weekend has been quite a flurry of activity. And I don't even mean the convocation. My sister got involved in some student exchange program and so for the next two weeks, we're going to have an exchange student from Taiwan living in our home. As the day drew near, everyone got really panicky as to how the house looked. We were perennially cleaning this, clearing that, trying to make everything as uncluttered and as orderly as possible.  It would seemed we were determined to present an artificial and fantastically wholesome image to my sister's foreign counterpart. hahaha.

Anyway, it went without much of a hitch. The exchange student arrived at our place on Saturday, and she seems nice enough. its a good thing my sister managed to get along very well with her. they had loads to talk about, so much that i even began to wonder whether the exchange student thing was just a ruse to get her school friend or something to stay at our place.>_<

Anyway, i know thats not true cos she has this unmistakable Taiwanese chinese accent. which sounds really nice by the way.

As for today, went for golf again and i think i'm getting the hang of it. I'm not missing as much as the first time and i even managed to hit a close-to 200m drive using a 3wood. Man, the sound, the impact, the feeling of satisfaction is soooo intoxicating, and i'm still only just a novice. I can now totally understand why those old men can stay at the driving range and whack ball after ball with careless abandon without any regard to the time. It is that addicting. though one reason i find this fun could be the company, it would be kinda boring if it were just me there. maybe i wouldn't hit any better since there won't be any suggestions or criticisms. sometimes, people really do make all the difference.
