Well the other night, I think it was Thursday, I couldn't get to sleep because I drank too many cups of tea. And then my new plan dawned on me: I had recently been thinking, out of my two plans, a and b, joining feds and going to China, I would rather go to China; then I realised I would rather go back to Taiwan, because I have lots of contacts there and would not not know anyone when I got there, whereas if I went to China, I would be starting from scratch. And then I remembered, that while I was living in Taiwan, I was always thinking, 'if I had a second chance to do it all over again, I would...' so why don't I give myself a second chance? I would live in Taipei, have more Taiwanese friends, use my Chinese more, travel more, have a sex life haha, and master Chinese (maybe need a couple of years for that but anyway). I would study at shi da, get an editing job at the newspaper, lose weight and be in commercials, get a Chinese boyfriend etc, etc. I would go on the same scholarship, but live off teaching English privately. I would live with other foreigners straight away unlike last time and actually earn money rather than spend it. I would have people to stay with when I first arrive. So, I would go tomorrow if I could, but alas, the scholarship period begins in September so I would have to wait till next year to do it. But that leaves me exactly one whole year to save up, and if I'm good I'll end up with relatively shitloads of money to blow once I get there.

I've been drinking alot of red wine this week. I have been watching DVDS with various flatmates and neighbours. The best, the best movie I've seen in a while, was actually a Korean one called "Old Boy". I highly recommend it, and this is coming from someone who finds most movies boring or uninspiring. Not that this one is inspiring, which you'll understand once you see it. But fuck it's good, and it's so... Asian. It could only be an Asian movie. It rocks. See it. Download it. Whatever.

OK well I'm going now so catch you later, dude!
