It is a very different New Year for me compared to the past 8 years. First, I was home in Kaohsiung with my parents and Tako. Second, I planned a New Year celebration for my family. We watched Shrek one, two with bad titles. We had some sweet rice balls. After finishing the movies, mom and dad went to bed first. I had the chance to call J up to do my final countdown. Jan 1, 2013, mom and dad had the first taste of Dance Central. I was, of course, the best one in the gaming business, but my parents had so much laughter while playing and watching the games.
2012 was very special. It was my hard to believe second year of a relationship(still going). I finally started working in a university with gifted faculties and masters students. I had my debut in Siena, and finally toured around in Europe after 28 years of thinking about it. It was the first time I flew back to Taiwan without knowing what exactly I was gonna do to make a living. I finally learned how to drive, and according to someone, that was a very important issue not to marry me.(He probably didn't mean it, but since he said it, I typed it.) I picked up and seriously raised a kitten in my parents' house. After all these years bad mouthing cats, they finally changed their mind because Tako is awfully cute!
Almost forgot, I saw quite a few performances of my sister's, and I'm so proud of her and her group! There are still things I haven't done. For instance, the long awaited recording with my previous band mates is still in the air. I still have never lived alone being responsible for my own apartment. Oh well, I'll get to that. At least, I started looking around.
A few more things on the list: an opera group, a recording, a few performances, and a bier braeur! Hmm... so!? I don't know. Taiwan is a pretty good place if I can stand some ignorance here. Or, may I help educate the ones with no clue? Yup, I think big, just like I wish world peace as always.
Alrighty, Jan 1 is gone, and I am going to sleep in order to fight my student tomorrow!!! Rrrrrah!
