The days passed quickly as the day came. As everybody woke up at approximately 9am, they all felt a feeling that they had not experienced for the past few months. That freedom of happiness, the feeling when the sun peeks through the windows and shines on you.
The days passed quickly, and soon I found myself waving goodbye to Singapore. The plans were that I would spend 6 days at Taiwan, visiting my grandparents, and then come back loaded with souvenirs to gift to my classmates.
Imagine my ecstasy and (horror) when I reached my grandparents' home. After a exciting and exhausting afternoon in the Eva Airlines Plane, in which I watched, Valentine's day ( I was bored!) and Bodyguards and Assassins, I sunk into my uncle's car as he revved his engine and started the 3 hours trip by car from Taipei to Zhang Hua (Tai Zhong). But I did not expect what was about to come.
As I staggered into the house at approximately 11 pm, and climbed up the stairs, waves of nostalgia hit me. Those stairs, worn away by few decades of use, were decorated by a few leaves. The door opened as my grandparents came out to greet me. (to be continued)
