Okay so the nxt day was the earth quakeeeeee yeah lol. Slight tremor only la cos we were underground in 人间 (which is a damn cool restaurant btw). In taipei at least it was only 4-5 on the scale but in Hualian is like 6.8? Yeah, we were underground and could even feel it so means its quite bad. Lol. Actually! I thought my sister was shaking the table when it happened cos she was like running around and everything. Sihui called just to make sure I was alright haha awwwwww.

Well so thats that for Taiwan. Haha. Christmas Eve party tonight at my cousins' place and wedding dinner tmr :)
