Taiwan

Yesterday when I was eating with my parents, we suddenly go to the point that my dad will play mahjong with his friends on ''chu san''. I remember I asked,'' what are we gonng do then[me and my mom],'' and i said we will go to taiwan then. My dad's reaction to everything was said in the familiy always has a huge impact. He said,'' why not?'' then everyone of us, (basically just me and mom, or only me) got so excited, and started to say we made so much money last year [ from the stock market], and i already got a job, it should be no problem. actually my dad has been pretty excited about everything happened last year, everything means the stock market. anyway he's been pretty upbeat these days. with mom's almost always control[not really control, but dominated?] by two of us, we got the bill and rushed to the travel agency. ok, we are gonna pay, but my sis suddenly called and asked where we will be at on the first day of new year(which is today), of coz we said we'll be in taiwan and dad will be home, she cried foul. she was gonna give us a surprise by ring us outside our door, after a long haul flight from the US. oh well, then my mom stole the payment slip from the agent, and we made it void. of coz, they have been waiting for my sis for so long. I guess my dad won't be playing mahjong either. as what he puts it,'' oh i can't play mahjong then''. they'll be getting prepared for everything that they think, and i won't have the heart to think, my sis will like by then. 10 minutes later, i said,'' I will go by myself,'' and here i come taiwan. one of my cousin has been working really hard, he's studying parttime with a full time job. I totally understand how hard it could be, staining your textbooks with coffee from the office pantry. i think i'm gonna see him. but more importantly, i wanna get away. I dunno how to put it, but i just wanna get away. my real friends will know why.
