My Travel Adventures

Exams are coming up next week, so even though my feet have been feeling a little restless, I decided I would not go anywhere far this weekend and focus on studying. My resolve weakened as soon as I woke up on Saturday morning, for the sun was shining and it looked like we were going to have a nice day. I ploughed through my work anyway, telling myself that if I finished early, I would go out and see a temple or a monument in the afternoon. The weather, however, was not on my side, and by midday, the wind had picked up and a light drizzle came over the city. By that time, I was already so excited to get out that the weather was not going to stand in my way. I remembered that I had been putting off a trip to the National Palace Museum for an ugly day, so I packed my camera bag and set off.

The end of the week was quite eventful. Frances, our resident Yale alumni organiser, planned a Valentine’s – or rather Friendentine’s – evening at KTV, which was well attended. My un-transposed renditions of Teresa Teng were, if I may say so myself, a source of general wonderment, though I really ought to practice my upper range better if I am to join the Russian Chorus on its next gig.
