In the evening, we ordered four pizzas and about ten of us ate it in the fish room. I ran to 85 C after the meal and bought a cake, which was our dessert! Around 8:30, 李奇展 proposed that we bike to 碧潭 together. It sounded like a good idea, especially because most people didn't have anything to do, so we set off on our bikes, fourteen people total. It ended up taking an hour to get there along the bike route, and I realized by the time we got there that we were at the edge of 新店, which can be considered the edge of Taipei City.
The ride there was interesting. A few bullet points:
- 彭湛傑 ran into someone by accident on the bike trail, which ran him into 讚哥, who ran into Peter, who instinctively lept off his bike onto the grass next to the trail. HAHAHA
- 陳怡靜 was singing as she stood on the back of 敬智's bike, and 章魚 passed by, and gave her a look of surprise, which elicited a “章魚，靠背!!!” from 敬智 囧
- When we stopped to take a break and wait for people riding behind us, 敬智 and 怡靜 stepped off their bikes. It was raining a bit then, so 敬智 immediately reached behind her and pulled up her hood. Of course, this was caught by most of us, and most of us deemed it “真甜蜜!!”
And then, we got there! Under the beautiful Christmas lights, on a bridge that crosses a beautiful lake... it was a beautiful scene. If you're a couple, out with friends, if you don't hold hands or PDA, it's a terrible shame.
So of course, Petrucci and 怡靜 started holding hands as we walked across the bridge, and even so when we stopped for group pictures. For the first time, they weren't afraid to hold hands in front of us or even walk arm in arm across the bridge.
But of course, we had our share of fun while they were in their wonderland. When they lagged behind us, 許哲綸 looked at us, then pointed ahead and shouted "OH LOOK, WHAT'S THAT?!" and all of us were like "OOOOOH!!" and started running ahead, off the bridge, to purposely leave them alone. We planned to hide, but they were already off the bridge by that time and giving us looks, so we had no choice but to keep walking with them. On the way back, they were walking in front of us, instead, so people in the back started pairing up, walking arm in arm, and pointing at the sky, going "Oh, look, what's that?!" "Oh, it's beautiful!!" "Oh, it's marvelous!" and they looked back and gave us looks again. Hilarity ensued! 怡靜 took one look at everyone, then let go of 敬智, ran to me, and said "Karen, I'm walking with you!! Let's go!!" and I shrieked with laughter and told Petrucci to take her back!!
After walking to 7 to buy drinks, we walked down along the river, along a string of rather expensive-looking restaurants. We sat down on benches near a Japanese cuisine place, and of course ... our favorite couple was holding hands and leaning heads on one another, a priceless view. Since the rest of us felt obligated to leave them with a quiet place to have a date (come on, you can't help but feel like you're on a date in a place as romantic as 碧潭!!) so we all left, quietly, one by one, down the stairs.
They didn't notice us. Not even when 許哲綸 yelled “林敬智，我們先走咯!!!!!!” back at them. Not a peep! So we got back to our bikes, got on, and left. I sent a text to 怡靜 before I set out telling her that we were leaving first and to be careful on the way back.
It was a long, hour-long ride back to 漁房. In addition, 讚哥's bicycle broke down near 永福橋 and 彭湛傑 took him back on his, while rolling his bike along the side.
When we got back to 漁房, there was a note on the freshman table. It read...
Impossible! How could they reach 漁房 before us?! Turns out, they took the MRT back ... and got back not long before us. Currently, Mr. Petrucci's bicycle is still at 碧潭!
What a wonderful night. I rest assured that I am always happy when I am with you guys. 生科真是個溫馨大家庭!!!
Anyway. The happy couple is not the point of this post, obviously, it's this wonderful girl... named 孔祥珂!
Dear 孔爺! None of us can truly stomach the fact that you're going to be leaving us next semester. I speak for everyone when I say 生科 will not be the same without you. Your presence has brought so much laughter to 漁房, so much happiness (and disgusted looks, sometimes from me, but you know I love you, I do) and you've brought life to our major in ways we never could have imagined. I've never seen you upset, you always have a marvelous way of showing nonchalance and a cool head in everything you do, and I deeply admire your composure and your warmth with everyone you come across. It's no surprise you're everyone's favorite, and when you leave, I'll have tears in my eyes just like everyone else. Thank you for all you've brought to us, thank you for the memories. Please come back to visit and GOOD LUCK with 重考醫科～ I wish you the best in all you decide to do in the future, but please don't change too much. You're wonderful the way you are (as weird as it sounds!) and we can't wait to see you again. Best wishes, and sincerely yours,
台大生科 B99
