This cave is just stunningly beautiful. The last time I was there, I knew that I had to go back again, armed with gears to take shots of this cave. The water temperature is about 8 to 12 degrees. A cooling shower indeed!
This cave is called 水漣洞 (Water-curtain cave), located at the end of 白楊步道 (Bai Yang Trail) at Taroko National park. It is crowded with tourists now, so it’s best if you can go there as early as possible to avoid the crowd.
I guess at times, being selectively ignorant and forgetful can make one happier. However, that doesn’t mean I care less, but I care more towards the things that mattered to me.
May all the negative feedbacks be like the falling leaves, being blown away with the wind, as I stride firmly towards my goals in life, knowing that I have made a choice that I’m proud of…
We have been through a lot together. There may be some arguments and conflicts, but at this very moment, we only remembered the days that we had fun, the nights we trained and practiced dance routine together, and the moment we stood on stage and vowed the audience.
Wow! Time really flies.
Congratulations on those graduating, and all the best to you guys in future undertakings. Do remember to come back again 3 years from now, when the remaining few of us are graduating. =D
The storm has passed, damage has been done. But the sun is up, and it’s a brand new start.
May what we have been through help us grow stronger and wiser. As we grow older, looking back, we see only fond memories of us being together, enjoying our lives.
So let’s move on together. And may we be stay positive always.
At times, little conflicts and misunderstandings could be dangerous to a relationship. But it could be a chance to challenge the solidity of trust and honesty in that relationship.
At times, when we are too close with each other, we take things for granted, and we forgot about how the other person is feeling. Let us not let each other guess what we are feeling. Use words instead. Show more appreciation when you get a helping hand, praise others often, and speak your heart out. It makes you feel comfortable, because you do not hide what you feel, and you do not have to guess what the other person feels.
This, is the lesson of communication. Use words.
Summer has been pretty hot, and a few of us managed to take some time off to cycle out and play in the water. We headed out on the 1st of June, but this post came a little late as I was waiting for my roll of film to be developed.
Hualien is a beautiful place to explore if you’ve got the time to spare.
Exam week is coming up next, so I guess back to my books then. =D
Too much stuffs have been going through my mind lately, and I’m thinking that perhaps I’m getting a little bit complacent with life.
Or perhaps this place has suppressed too much of what I can do and what I want to achieve in life, that I’ve decided to make this decision.
As scary as it may seem, interestingly, many people that I’ve talked to supported my decision of doing so. When the time comes, I will reveal the decision (although most people that I’ve talked to knew about this idea).
But for now, I know that I need to pay more attention to things in life, and grab all the precious time that I have to learn, research and explore. To appreciate the people that I’ve met in life, and how they have made this my dream of mine come true.
It is a good start.
We do not share the same flesh and blood. Yet, fate brought us together as an extended family. Not knowing who would be sitting beside me on the train today, it was really a coincidence to have met one of my YiDe Mama (懿德媽媽) on the train. In fact, she was sitting beside me.
These “foster” parents took care of us during my study here in TCU. They came every month, be it near or far, just to accompany us, listen to our ramblings, share our joy and happiness, yet ask for nothing in return. This relationship is so unique, yet so many took it for granted.
There is nothing much I can do in return of their love towards us, but I can do one thing for certain: To pay the love forward and care for the others.
Yesterday alone, three people I’ve known got married. A few more just got engaged.
I often find being in a relationship (be it family, friends, your loved ones, or your partner) is similar to flying a kite. You must know when to pull the kite close to you, and when to let it fly free. Pull the string too hard, and the string will snap; let the string hang loose and the kite will fall or be blown away.
Remember to spend time with your loved ones, while giving them sufficient time of their own. Give them space whenever appropriate. Knowing that the time may come where you’ll need to let this kite go will make you appreciate this current relationship more. Long distance relationships may be hard and difficult, but it could be a catalyst to a better relationship.
Remember, there is always a balance between personal and shared space.
Congratulations to the newly-weds, and may all of you have a blissful marriage.
