Semi Eventful Day

So today we were suppose to visit another of my great aunt this morning, but they were busy, so we set out in the morning around 8:30 for nothing :P. Well we went and ate at our usual spot every morning, having the same old same old. We then headed over to a temple, forgot the name at the moment; me and my mom visited the place last year. Anyways we went over to visit, the temple worships the god who punishes souls in the underworld, basically an enforcer in the underworld. We then went to the underground walkway for there are rows of fortune telling. My dad, my bro and I went to different fortune tellers, basically my fortune teller told me making money will not be issue, but me, being a big time spender will lol. He also said I would have girl problems, meaning I will have a lot apparently, and the baggage that goes with it. Overall I won't completely take his word for it, since I am the who decides how my future plays out. He did hit on some interesting notes though, including my interest in marketing/sales as well as some other stuff, but overall interesting stuff. I've had my fortune told before and somethings seem to overlap so we'll see how that plays out in the future :). My bro got a crappy one though, she said he does poorly in his studies, which if having a 4.0 gpa over 2200 on SAT and 700-800 on SAT II mean poor academics, I must be a complete failure and that would go for most people :P. Now the next fortune teller I feel pretty bad for. Let me give you a background, my dad knows what he is doing when it comes to fortune telling with the method called ba zhe. It basically incorporates your birthday, time of birth, and for me a palm reading and face reading. My dad is pretty familiar with this, and the fortune teller was doing her thing, and my dad pointed out several mistakes in her process, which she initially denied. My dad became furious saying she doesn't know how to do it right, and stormed out. Yeah, my dad just knows how to grill you bad on things knowledgeable to him as I have come to known in the past 19 years haha. Anyways we still had some time to kill, so we ate at a shot down restuarant which was cramped and humid, and the food was mediocre, but I guess thats the Taiwan experience for you, we also went to ming der bookstore again and me and my bro got a meditation CD with soothing songs in it. We then walked to this bus station behind taipei main station which has a BUNCH OF STORES inside, and was really nice looking, comparable to 101. It was about a 20 minute walk. I got this Nippon Blue shirt for about 1140 NT? I REALLY LIKE THE SHIRT, in fact I like the whole brand, Nippon Blue. I have been calculation it out to go back and get another shirt, but we'll have to see how my expenses play out in the coming days. Afterwards we headed to my great aunts place and we stayed there for almost 3 hrs. I almost died from boredom. I mean its nice to visit her and all, but honestly I think 3 hrs is a bit much for me and my bro where we were playing 'lets try to make each other laugh' 'chopsticks' 'on a scale of 1-10 how much does it hurt' 'i spy' and 'guess which hand the coin is in'. Well we finally headed back from their place to go back where my grandma has arrived from Shinju. I then watched top gear on my bro's laptop and yeah.

Tomorrow, one of the 'old masters' in our religion passed away so we are going to that in the morning. Then we have to attend a wedding lunch, where we brought back formal clothes to attend. Then my uncle invited us to watch a supposedly good movie, about the Father of China and how he was rescued (kung fu film), and yeah. I'm still figuring out how to partition my remaning money between gift for friends, 101, and hopefully another Nippon Blue shirt. But we'll see how that plays out.
