笑看台湾.....

Feeling kind of left out from the proceedings from the world. "Kind of" is actually an understatement, I lost touch, really.. The only time to catch the news and all that is on the weekend. And what a way to welcome me home on Friday night, with the Taiwanese press having yet another busy day at the field (I wonder how they get so many news).. The Taiwanese First Lady was prosecuted for charges of misusing govt funds and such.. Now, if I were a reporter sent to cover the story, I would hold still to my camera, recorder, notebook or whatever. I won't even consider going to the toilet, even if my bladder was gonna burst. Something would happen, my gut feelings would be screaming in my ear..

Barely 2 hrs into the trial, the First Lady fainted in court, a female constable had to cradle her, with the First Lady clinging her arms round the constable, all the way to an ambulance waiting outside the court. Press release from the hospital said that the First Lady arrived at hospital with a heart rate of 40+ and all other conditions, and added a sentence "she will be unfit for hearings".. -.-" I laughed my ass off watching a Taiwanese talkshow thereafter. They talked about the timely fainting and also the gunning incident before their last Presidential election.

Taiwan's administration is really in a mess now.. For me, it was quite entertaining when Ah Bian took over, with his heavy Hokkien accent and stuffs. But it's now getting worrying (cos of frens in Taiwan) that the situation will be un-resolvable. And like I told my dad, now the Chinese will be getting their GV Gold Class tickets, with one full bag of popcorn and large Coke, watching the show. They're the one laughing right now, I'm sure.
