As I wake up exceptionally early this morning, I got the chance to watch "The Legend of Bruce Lee" on Channel 8, which was broadcast every Sunday at 11am till 1pm.
It never fails to touch me and bring tears to my eyes everytime I watch it as the show really brings out a lot of philosophy about chinese martial arts as well as philosophy in live, which i think all should learn about.
Bruce Lee's show never fails to amaze me, with his intelligence in analyzing other martial arts (i.e. Thai boxing, Taekwondo, Judo, etc), and the best thing is, he analyze them at the beginning of the battle with his opponent, which we all should learn from I think.
Analyze the surrounding, and your opponent, even though at the beginning you may lose out. Never rush into doing it better than them, as this will cause you to lose out.
Bruce Lee is definitely a geniuse, which does not have the thinking of himself being the best, but to show others how to appreciate and share what they have (not keeping to themselves). He's a generous kind soul.
Sadly, he died early, but still, he is the legendary icon to Martial Arts, especially Chinese Martial Arts.
The topless guys with Utt.. Haha.. Sadly, it's blur.. Utt is incredibly charming..
Singapore Flyer.. So near me..
Some Singapore's Skyscapers along my way to Marina Square to collect my baby..
The Race Finisher Medal.. Cool..
Well, posted this picture from my phone, hence please forgive me for the wrong facing pics. Hee..
Went for the Nike human Race 10K yesterday, where thw whole world runs together on the same day. It was super crowded, being that over 10,000 people registered for this run and the registeration was close within 6 days after launch. That's real scary, isn't it?
Anyway, woke up super early yesterday at 5am to get myself prepared to go to Singapore Flyer cum F1 Grand Stand there for the run. Before I headed to the location, I went to McDonalds near my house to get a Filet O Fish burger to fill my stomach before I go for my run. Food is very important for a run, if not you don't have the strength to run.
Reached Marina Square at 6.30am (have to park there as I know the others will be rather packed and jam), and headed over to the baggage deposit to find my friend, Ryan. It's once again Sagittarius unites. Haha. Thought he is running alone but in the end two more of his friends from dragon boat ran together. Great fun people.
After bag deposit, we headed to the starting point and started doing our warm ups. Shortly after, the starting buzz goes off and we started running. The three of them ran off themselves as I don't run that fast (normally) and I normally run at my own pace. Hence after about 1.5K, I am on my own.
I took 1 hour 30 minutes to finish this 10K run, never improve, never deprove. Stagnant. Sigh.
After the run, I went to collect my bag at the baggage deposit and went to look for my friends. Rest for a while and camwhoring for a while before we headed our seperate ways. I went back to office and they went to Kallang Leisure Park for breakfast.
Reached office at around 10am and started to do my cleaning up before I started doing my work. Luckily, office still never give much problem, just that the phone is ringing kinda too much that sometimes I night get a little irritated. on a Saturday, the phone is like ringing and ringing. Gggrrr~~
After I settled my stuff, I went back to home to rest. Apologies Weixiang that I skipped the practice today as I was dead tired and stinks. After reaching home, tried to help my friend on their work, but failed. Only able to solve one problem. Well, this shows that I have gave all my knowledge back to teacher already. Sigh~~
Slept at 11pm all the way until 6am this morning. I have no idea why I wake up so early. I myself was shocked as I should be very tired and should sleep till wee hours today. Still, I wake up at 6am, and I told myself, it's Sunday, i should sleep and continue sleeping. So I forced myself to go back and sleep again. Managed to do so but then, I wake up at 7am, again. Look at the clock and went back to sleep again. 8am I wake up again and same procedure goes on.
All the way till 9am, I gave up trying to sleep back already, hence here I am blogging away early on a Sunday morning. Sianz.
Well, waking up early isn't bad too though. Now is 9.45am and I have finished blogging, checking my emails and all. After my breakfast, I can start on doing my CaseTRUST policy and PTZ brochure before I do my own things (if there are extra time).
Oh ya, I think I missed tell you all, me and my brother were home alone yesterday as our parents went to Batam for a short trip. Later, I'm going to pick them up at 6pm. Then maybe go for dinner at Vivocity or Harbourfront Centre. Shall see how.
"To love someone who can never love you back is like striving
to get a perfect score in a non-recorded exam."
"Don't miss the chances life is giving you to spend with the people you
love... Remember that in this life, there are no rewinds."
I can help it but to really sound my unhappiness off here in my blog.
I just went for my facial at CWP and finishing it, I had my dinner at Pastamania.
After ordering my food, I grab a table to settle myself there and waited for my food.
Seating beside me was a family of 4 (father, mother, son and daughter). I hate the way the boy communicate with his father.
First of all, their parents went to buy food for them and they keep complaining on their eating pattern. I don't see anything wrong with that. Compared to my parents, they are so much better. I don't understand why he keeps complaining and showing expression of unhappiness there.
Secondly, they took 4 fork thinking to they sharing two plates of spaghetti, and the girl still can ask why take so many fork.
Nevermind, with all that done, their parents still only eat a small portion of the food and left the big portion for thier children, and they never even ask if they are full or not. When they come across food that they don't eat, he just stuff them into their parent's mouth.
Why do children like to treat their parents like rubbish bin?? Why can't children cherish more of their own parents?
Damn fed up. Really!

Went for a Media Preview Movie Screening for "Love Happens" at Shaw Lido.
The show is a very nice and inspiring show. It really say a lot of things about life as the leading actor is a speaker, and his book is about how to live life better, look forward and don't stay in the past.
I cried almost near the end of the show as the scene was really touching. Cry till my eyes goes red even after a while. Too sentimental person is like that de.
After movie, Karen mention that she want to go Dbl O as her friend is there and asked her along. As I'm not a clubbing person, so I gave it a miss.
After sending her to Dbl O, I headed to the nearest petrol station to top up my car's petol. It's thirsty already. The peteol price in Singapore increase.. ARGH~~ More expensive to drive a car now.
Alright, I'll turn in already. Damn tired. Take care guys.

Am feeling rather moody today, I have no idea why. Wake up this morning and it seems like I've wake up from the wrong side of the bed.
Went to office as usual, and reach slightly after 9am. Just as I was about to get everything out from my car, my water bottle started to spill water on my car seat and wet my car seat. Then I realise I didn't close my bottle properly.
Whole just feel moody and letargic. I just felt wierd all over.
After work, I went to O School to register for my dance class, MTV Groove I, which will be commencing on 30 November. Finally I got my butt movivng to go register after so long.
After registeration, headed to Yishun to pass buddy Jun Hong the container I've help him to buy at IKEA yesterday.
Left for Causeway Point as I need to pay overdue bills. Had my dinner after getting some groceries and went home.
Now, I felt that my whole body is burning. Think I'm getting feverish very soon.

Went to Hort Park today with my poly friends this morning to walk the long waited Hort Park Trail.
Early in the morning at 8am, I meet them at Harbourfront "Seah Imm Food Centre" to have our breakfast as Vivocity has nothing to eat at that hour. I had Prata (again), which is not delicious at all. After breakfast, we headed to the Interchange to take a bus to Hort Park.
Started walking the trail at around 9.30am. Pass by Forest Walk, and head towards Henderson Waves. After passing by Henderson Waves, we waked the Marang Trail towards Mount Faber.
Initially thought the trail is 10KM, but I feel, or rather we feel that it's a lot lesser than 10KM.
Ended the trail walk at around 11am at Harbourfront MRT Station. Stroll through Hardbour Front Centre and Vivocity for a while before we headed to ABC Brickworks Market & Food Centre for our lunch.
Sadly, a lot of stall not open for today and hence a lot of good food was not been tasted. SAD~~ Although the place look so new to me (the feeling of the multi-storey carpark and the revamped food centre), it still makes me have so much memories of my younger times when I stay somewhere nearby, and I always go there for meals with my parents.
After meals, we headed towards IKEA (which is just beside) using the same old entrance linking from the HDB area to back gate of IKEA (the gate me and my parents always use after our meal to IKEA).
Wanted to get the photo frame that I have been sourcing but the size is not correct and I do not want to risk buying it as the size is 5cm in difference. In the end, I helped my buddy bought a big container for him to contain his clothes and all (as he asked me to buy for him).
After that, we headed to Anchorpoint for desserts (no nice at all).
After desserts, waited for my friends to buy their shorts at Cotton On before we headed back to IKEA for Jin Feng to do an exchange on the lamp he bought earlier as he bought the wrong one. Finishing it, we headed off our seperate ways back home.
Along the way back to IKEA, I saw a person that I have not seen for so long, that is Mr. Aston Toh. Haha. He was there with his girlfriend shopping. I didn't know that his girlfriend is so tall. But, she is pretty la. Aston arh, good catch wor~~ Wahaha..
Today kinda had some misunderstanding with my buddy, or rather he feel that I have things hiding from him and he don't feel happy at all. I have no idea why he think that way. It hurts me so much.
First of all, we are not as close as we were before and he don't understand me as much as before (even though I still do remember things about him and understand him). Whenever he encounter problems or need to talk to people, he will not call me anymore, rather he will give his colleague a call. It hurts a lot, but I can't stop him from having other friends too.
Now that he say I am hiding things from him, which I didn't and told him he is too sensitive. He insisted that he don't think he is sensitive and said till like I am at fault for not telling him things. But I really didnt hide anything from him, or rather anything he need to know, I never hide from him at all.'I have very close colleagues cum friends from my company and they are purely my colleagues cum friends. I may be close to certain of them because they really understand me and at times can accompany me to go chill out. I know he don't drink hence I don't get him along with me as he don't like it.
I don't understand, if he thinks that I am hiding this from him, why don't he just ask me about it? Why say that I'm the one hiding and not wanting to tell him? Why push all the faults to me? I have always treated him as my buddy, my brother, it was like that before and now its the same. Why can't he give some trust in me?
It sadden me alot. Really. Not only today but all the while. It's time for me to reconsider the name "buddy cum brother" that is giving me a burden whole big time. Sigh, how I wish there is someone beside me to console me and talk to me, dote on me. Sad.
It's time for me to go find someone to spend my future with. Maybe someone who really loves me and dote me. Loving a person is really very hard.
Our footwear for the trail... Five of us.. Wohoo~~ nicely formed star..
Cute little monkeys trying to help each other pice their lices.. Look at how shiok the monkey is..
The girls for the trail.. Daphne, Cecilia, Li Teng & Myself..
Us along Henderson Waves bridge.. Me, Daphne, Cecilia, Li Ting & Jin Feng..

Great view up there..
The road sign to show us the way..
Trees & Branches May Fall.. Keep Clear.. LOLx..Hasn't been updating my blog for some time already. Well, this week is rather a fruitful, busy and shagged week.
Firstly, went to chill out with the guys on Tuesday at the same KTV pub (finished the bottle of left over Martell and continue with some beer) we went to last Friday as they say they very stressed up, need to destress. Since they asked me to join in, and I have nothing on that evening, I just join in the fun (no harm anyway).
Same some songs (our table sang all emo songs, don't know why all so emo that day) then chit chat a lot about work, and other things under the sun. We left that place around 11.30pm and headed home there after.
Thursday after work went IKEA to source fror photo frame for my stuff, hence headed to Tampines IKEA to source. It was a shagged night as young boss send me a series of sms regarding the project at Suntec City for Health Board. As young boss was worried, and I was worried too, I headed straight to Suntec to check out the situation with Mr Tiong. Luckily it was not as bad as what Matthew has reflected on the sms, nevertheless still help as much as I could so that all can go home and rest as early as possible. We all left the place at around 4am and the next day all were at office before 10am (good working attitude I thought).
As I only sleep for barely 2 hours (I think Dennis was even worst), I am super shagged that whole day. Plus I'm damn hungry as I didn't had my dinner the night before (recently always didn't take dinner). Hence, I headed to Airport to have Popeye before fetching young boss back to office in the afternoon. However, the popeye meal doesn't fill stomach at all, but still I had only one meal.
After work, thinking that I have to catch my beauty sleep since I didn't sleep much the night before, so I shoot home straight after work (after packing my dinner). Shortly Sam smsed me to ask if I'm going anywhere that night and if I want to go out chill together.
As I was tired, I told him I might not be interested as we both have no idea where to go chill that is nearby. After much discussion (initially decided not to go), we went to Goldhill Plaza for some drinks (Hoeggarden & Erdinger plus Fries) and chat the night off. Left the place around 2am and wanted to go had prata for supper (initially). As Prata House doesn't have parking and Casaurina Curry is closed, we headed to have Chong Pang Nasi Lemak (which I have not tried before). Nothing as "wow" as what people has mention although their rice is really tasty. Finished up my vege and left the place. Thanks for Sam to drive me home (and this guy really full of energy loh, can even go JB pump petrol at 4am loh ~ BEST).
This morning woke up at 9.30am and gaved Karen a morning call as she went to DBLO last night and might not be able to wake up on time. After calling her, I continue to lay on my bed for a while more before I get up and prepare to go pick her up to go collect our Race Package.
Went to have our Prata as planned and initially wanted to go Causarina Curry for brunch, but it's closed. So, decided to drive over to Prata House for prata instead. While having my brunch, I got summon from the stupid Fatimah for parking at unbroken double yellow line. SHITTY FATIMAH. I have no idea how much it will cost as they will send letter to the owner (Young Boss will be passing me the summon very soon). My friend was so shocked to see me so calm seeing the summon, but what can I do? Panicking on a summon doesn't helps also. So relax. Haha.
Went to Kallang Leisure Park to collect my Great Eastern 10K Run Race Pack first before heading to Singapore Flyer to collect my Nike Human Run Race Pack. As Karen don't feel satisfied, we decided to g and have Popeye for our lunch (so called) and surprisingly, we finished a meal together (it's less than 2 hours since we had our Prata la. we all 饿到 I guess). Haha.
Thereafter, send Karen to Tanglin Mall for her flee market at 3pm. While driving Karen to Tanglin, I saw Dennis van pass by the cross junction and we wanted to stalk him but due to the amount of car, we are not able to. Anyway, Singapore is small.
Headed home straight after and took some pictures today after packing my room and cleaning off my room's dust.
Yahoo~~ today have air con room to sleep in, sure sleep very well one. Hee. But sadly, I need to wake up early tomorrow morning (7am) as I am meeting my Poly friends to walk the Hort Park. They are meeting at 8am loh. It's early but I think waking up early and taking the Hort Park Trail sure makes myself refresh. So, it's time for me to TURN IN lo.. Good night guys while you enjoy the pictures before. Will upload some great pictures from Taiwan here soon.
Ciaoz..
Some of the wine from Taiwan..
Cute Perfume with Figurine.. Harajuku Love.. Nice smell loh..
My new perfume collection.. BURBERRY.. My Favourite brand which I still don't own one other than this perfume..
Stuff miniature.. DIY.. Need to sew it one loh.. Wahaha..
I thought this was unique.. A pair of ring keychain.. Waiting for owner leh.. 可怜
如果你很忙
我到街上去晃一晃
身为一个朋友
有些事情不该勉强
看你黑着眼圈
今晚很长我睡不着
到底是谁害你这么想
因为太爱你
拼命达到你的需要
虽然只是朋友
总比什么都不是好
借你肩膀依靠
借你关心也借你微笑
我很想给你却不要
爱着你却伤心的只能守候不能拥有
真挚的做一个永远的朋友
看着你旧旧的简讯内容
我看见爱情向我大声嘲弄
爱着你却大方的陪你恋爱替你加油
虚弱的做一个永远的朋友
几次累的想断绝联络
却听见你说情人比不上朋友
因为太爱你
拼命达到你的需要
虽然只是朋友
总比什么都不是好
借你肩膀依靠
借你关心也借你微笑
我很想给你却不要
爱着你却伤心的只能守候不能拥有
真挚的做一个永远的朋友
看着你旧旧的简讯内容
我看见爱情向我大声嘲弄
爱着你却大方的陪你恋爱替你加油
虚弱的做一个永远的朋友
几次累的想断绝联络
却听见你说情人比不上朋友
我总是有让你想出声的方法
我却没有让自己离开的力量
也许友情才能地久天长
爱着你却伤心的只能守候不能拥有
真挚的做一个永远的朋友
看着你旧旧的简讯内容
我看见爱情向我大声嘲弄
爱着你却大方的陪你恋爱替你加油
虚弱的做一个永远的朋友
几次累的想断绝联络
却听见你说情人比不上朋友
我只是朋友
从那遥远海边 慢慢消失的你
本来模糊的脸 竟然渐渐清晰
想要说些什么 又不知从何说起
只有把它放在心底
茫然走在海边
看那潮来潮去
徒劳无功 想把每朵浪花记清
想要说声爱你 却被吹散在风里
猛然回头 你在那里
如果大海能够唤回曾经的爱
就让我用一生等待
如果深情往事你已不再留恋
就让它随风飘远
如果大海能够带走我的哀愁
就像带走每条河流
所有受过的伤 所有流过的泪
我的爱 请全部带走
《不死心 - 郑元畅》
你安静我沉默 你难过我心痛
你快乐会传染我
你想我是偶尔 我想你是永久
我是你 男的朋友
不知道再继续付出有没有未来
只知道爱情应该是期待再期待
别要爱不爱 别爱甩不甩
你明知我会摇摆
你今天不爱 但如果我再徘徊
明天的你会不会给我爱
旁白:
你常说 谢谢我
我只想对你说 不死心的我 仍是我
不知道拼一下算不算不知好歹
只知道不努力爱你世界会崩坏
你隐瞒你的答案 我是真爱还是备胎
是什麽我都不管
爱情不管要学拥有或失败
我只想爱我所爱
不留遗憾
别要爱不爱 别爱甩不甩
明明知道我会在
你今天不爱 但只要我再等待
总有天你的心门
会打开
心是片土地 我是一个园丁
种一朵花叫做爱情
呵护著不离不弃
当花季远去 眼泪带我旅行
你好吗 我好想你
常常写信寄给回忆
我和你从未分手 你住在我心中
谁也不能把你赶走
一颗心只有一份永久
给了谁就无法回收
我和你从未分手 你活在我爱中
不准人来人往挑拨
一个错要花几倍伤痛
才能扭转时空 重回感动
重回笑容 手牵手
空空的夜空 城市燃起灯火
每一盏灯一种寂寞
愿你幸福别漂流
蓝蓝的忧愁 搬进我的生活
越想放手越是紧握
越往前走越是回头
我和你从未分手 你住在我心中
谁也不能把你赶走
一颗心只有一份永久
给了谁就无法回收
我和你从未分手 你活在我爱中
不准人来人往挑拨
一个错要花几倍伤痛
才能扭转时空 重回感动
重回笑容 手牵手
我没用 多没用
我推开窗户思念一直推不走
我在梦里掉了一个梦
谁捡到告诉我还给我 别没收
我和你从未分手 你住在我心中
谁也不能把你赶走
一颗心只有一份永久
给了谁就无法回收
我和你从未分手 你活在我爱中
不准人来人往挑拨
一个错要花几倍伤痛
才能扭转时空 重回感动
重回笑容 手牵手
It's been some time since I last did my entry. Was so tired over the weekend and I was like unconcious most of the time (even when I'm doing facial).
Last Friday went out for a night of dinner and chilling out with my sales team colleagues. After our meeting in office, we headed off to somewhere near Serangoon to have our Ma La Steamboat dinner. After filling up our stomach, we headed to somewhere else for KTV pub at "2Dawn" opposite SGH. Had our drink till almost 4am before we call it a day. Wah~~ It's shag de loh. Cannot always like that if not my beauty will be gone. I basically only sleep for like 2 hours before I wake up to head to office for work. (Reached home at 5am)
One good thing is, I never drink a lot as I'm drinking, so still not too bad. See, I can actually control myself not to drink de loh. Who say I'm 酒鬼？
Saturday after work, went for lunch with the sales guys at nearby Fried Hokkien Mee there and had a whole table of food again. Thereafter I headed for my band practice. After so long never touch my insturment, finally got the chance to play with my instrument (so happy).
Saw a blown up tulip on one of the chair around my area and was puzzled why there is a yellow tulip there (somemore my favourite flower loh). Thought it's who's. Ask Karen who's tuilip and she said don't know so I thought it's someone else. There shortly after, she said it for me. She bought it from Thailand for me loh. So nice. Thanks. I love tulip and I have all sorts of tulip things at home la (necklace, arcylic tulip frm Holland, paper tulip, now blown up tulip.. hehe)
The Blown Up Yellow Tulip.. I Love It.. Hee.. Thanks Karen..
My Music Partner trying to play around with my blown up tulip inside the bandroom.. In the midst of practice.. The snap is LOUD..
Me with my new collection of Tulip.. Hee.. Happy like a Bird~~
Due to lack of sleep, I was super hyper during the practice. But the practice seems not too bad and pieces for concert somehow are fixed. It's fast and I think it's a good start as we can practice more and make our performance more towards perfection. Yeah~!!
After practice, me and Karen went to Bugis intending to eat Korean food. But unfortunately, it was moved to another location (out of Bugis) and Karen was so sad not being able to have her Korean food.
In the end, we ended up at Siams Kitchen for Thai food and I had my usual Pat Thye. Wahaha. Chat about my Taiwan trip and all over dinner. (I still prefer Thai Express's Pat Thye)
We headed to the ladies after settling our bills and then inside the ladies I saw Xiu. Thinking why this person look so familiar and while we were talking about her, she was just in the same place as us. I went over to call upon her and she was shocked. Singapore is so SMALL. Haha. Even inside the washroom also can see friends la.
Haha. Went window shopping for a while (both me and Xiu are broke and need to eat self grown grasses already after the trip), we bought ourselves some bubble tea before heading home as my parking coupon's time is running up.
Sent Karen home before I headed home myself and had an early night.
Sunday wake up early for my facial at Chinatown. Drove my parents there too as they want to go there buy things too. After facial, headed to gave my baby a great wash (it's so dirty can), and after the wash headed to the hairdresser to cut my hair (it's getting more and more like my own grown grass).
After that headed home and started to stare into my laptop until 10 plus before I shut my computer and turn in.
Till now, I'll still tired. I have no idea if I sleep to much or lack of sleep. But I rather myself being able to sleep than waking in the middle of the night everyday, which affects my sleep loh.
This week, my office doeesn't have boss and general manager as they went outstaion and reservist respectively. However, I still have tonnes of things to complete and I kinda don't have the idea how to do all. Sigh. Have to complete the CaseTrust policy thingy, artwork for Zonal package for all 4 zones, quotations, reply of all enquiry emails, etc etc. Without me picking up the calls, I still barely have time to do my things coz the call starts to become overwhelme again.
Argh~~
Alrighty, I think I'll better go home and come office earlier tomorrow to start doing on my things before I run out of time. Ganbate~~~~
Back in Singapore for the second day and realise that my holiday is kinda not enough. Taiwan trip with my group of crazy friends was indeed a great experience as they really are good companies (never gets bored with them around).
Touched down at Singapore on Tuesday night at around 11.30pm and came out from the arrival hall at around 12 midnight.
The rest of my gang have the previledge of resting at home the next day, which I didn't as I need to get back to work the next day. Felt rather sian though but I know I have to be there.
Reached office slightly after 9am the next morning and gave office a surprise by tripping the electricity of our office. Well, I'm sway la. I shouldn't have gone working that day la.
Went for Homefix D&D in the evening at Northlight School, which their theme is "Back to School", hence a lot of their stuff are dressed in uniforms. Although they don't really look very good in their school's uniform, but the idea is rather cool and fresh I should say.
Finished packing all my stuff yesterday night and realise I got a lot of clothes (which I didn't realise) and the rest was all easy to pack. I didn't expect myself to pack my luggage so fast. Haha.
Just finish uploading the photos I took in Taiwan into my computer and will upload it to facebook soon for everyone to share our joy. Initially wanted to upload today but the internet speed is too slow, so I gave up on uploading. Shall upload it tomorrow then.

Went to Liu Fu Chun （六福村）today for our Theme Park activities.
After our breakfast in the morning at the lobby of our hotel, we headed down to the Theme Park and have most of the rides there. There are 3 main themes there and each section have different rides.
Sadly, the roller coaster is under maintenance hence we didn't get the chance to play it. There are a few rides that I didn't manage to play as well as my group of friends didn't want to play.
Anyway, I thought the theme park will be nice but it isn't as what I thought. It's not as nice as I thought it would be. I think the best is still the one in Hong Kong at Ocean Park （海洋公园）.
Had ourselves wet with some water games and after that headed to finished up some more rides before we headed for food and the zoo there.
Today's wind was rather strong and the temperature was rather cold too. Luckily I wore my 3/4 drench coat so still not so bad.
After that, we took bus back to Taipei and headed for our dinner at Sogo at Zhong Shan. I love their Vitagen there, especially the big bottle type, so nice. I think I will buy a few bottles back to Singapore. Wahaha. I bought some alcohol too with special bottles back, will have to find ways to hide it. Haha.
As we were walking to the train station intending to go back to our hotel, we saw Spicy Steamboat （麻辣火锅）just behind Sogo. Sadly we didn't saw it earlier, if not we will be having it for our dinner. So we planned to have it tomorrow in the afternoon as we are not going to Tai Zhong （台中）anymore as we didn't want to get caught in between the Typhoon. So we decided to stay in Taipei and continue to do our shopping at Taipei tomorrow to get the stuff that we wanted.
Anyway, we were drenched under the rain all the while and the wind is ever cold. Hope tomorrow's weather will be better. Going to bath now as I didn't want to get a cold myself.
Take care to the people in Singapore. I'll be back very soon.
This is the first time I experience earthquake in my life.
At around 1am, while me and my room mates were happily taking pictures of what we have bought and 2 of the guys came to our room to pass us our stuffs, we felt the room shaking.
I was sitting at the couch in front of our bed looking at the ready cut neoprints we took while Xiu was taking pictures of my piglet that I brought over from Singapore when the room started to shake.
I was thinking why did Xiu shaked the bed so vigorously and looked up when Xiu was asking me not to shake the bed.
During then, I said I didn't shake the bed and asked the two guys in our room whether the feel the room shaking? All said the felt the shake. I was rather nervous as it was my first encounter of earthquake (although it's a mild one).
I kept asking what should we do, what should we do? So all of us was at our original place while the phone ring and another guy from their room called asking if we felt the vibration. Hence we asked him to come down to look for us, taking the stairs.
I believe some other places must have a more serious earthquake than us as ouris a mild one and it only sustain for less than 1 minute.
I have no idea what we can do if the shake will be greater as our table is small and I don't think all of us can go under it.
But it's an experience that I can't have in Singapore, however, I didn't want it to happen again too. It's scary.
Back in my hotel room again. It's the 4th day in Taiwan and we started our shopping today. Nearly went broke on my tops and bottoms.
Yesterday night went to one of the the club in Taiwan named Luxy. It's the contemporary club in Taiwan Zhong Xiao Dong Lu. The music there wasn't too nice. The pulse not strong enough and the songs very unfamiliar, never hear before de.
Their club have 4 dancers dancing. There are 2 sections of it but the dancers are not pretty. Haha. Anyway, their culb only started to get high during 1.30am and we left the place at 2 plus as we were so tired and nothing much to club there. I don't like the club personally due to the songs as well as the club is a place that clubber can smoke. I don't like places with a lot of smokers around me. Haha.
Reached hotel at around 3am.
This morning wake up at around 10.30am and wash up before heading out for our shopping session at Xi Meng Ding. Just before we headed for our shopping, we went to have our brunch at Ah Zong Mee Sua. It's really nice as what others recommend. I like it, but I don't eat the intestine.
There after we went shopping and I bought a pair of Jeans and a piece of skirt at Lee Cooper. First time I bought a 70 over dollars pants and skirt. Shop around Xi Meng Ding for a while more before we headed to Wu Fen Pu to shop till we nearly drop. I bought so much clothings. Argh~~ Gotta stop myself from buying so many clothes. Although each piece of clothes is cheap, but getting a lot of cheap stuff will add on to become a lot.
Sigh,will have to stop myself and control myself from buying.
Anyway, gotta wash up and turn in early coz tomorrow will be going to Theme Park to play all the rides. Wohoo~~ Excited.. The most looked forward place in Taiwan for me. Hee.
Woke up quite late this morning as we went back to hotel late last night after KTV.
I woke up at 9.30am and started washing up. After washing up, I called up the guys whom are happily sleeping. Luckily I woke up and gave them morning call. Done all the various packing for our Hot Spring in the afternoon before I started having my beef cup noodles breakfast (our provided breakfast ends at 10am).
Headed off for Hot Spring at Xin Bei Tou for an hour. The price for the hot spring is cheap. Each of us only pay S$10 for an hour for a private room to ourselves. Great. We have 3 different hot spring pools to ourselves, cool water, warm water and warmer water. The feeling of soaking yourself inside the hot spring water is so shiok. Really make you feel so relax and refreshing. My face were like red like lobster when I was soaking in the hot spring (which seldom happen as my face seldom turns red). I think blood is really circulating around my face and body.
After hot spring, we headed to McDonalds for our brunch. I had McSpicy Chicken Drumstick Meal. After munching on the drumstick, it brings so much memories back, the feeling when I had during my secondary school when Singapore still have the same meal. It's nice loh.
After meal, we headed to Dan Shui and took a bus to Fisherman Harbour （渔人码头） to see the Lover's Bridge （情人桥）. It's so nice can? How I hope got my partner around with me (sadly, I don't have a partner). But anyway, am tired la so I slept all the way in the bus.
There after, headed to arcade to play DDR. So long never play loh. Taiwan's DDR are on chinese song loh. ZS then went to catch one Egg Pig for me. Thanks ZS.
After that, the sky is black and we went to took pictures with the bridge during the night (night view) and then headed back to Dan Shui station there by bus for dinner.
Here I am blogging in the room and soon we will be going to the night spots in Taipei. Won't be drinking much, but just wanna explore how the night life in Taipei looks like. Till then... update again.
Just reach my hotel room after my KTV session at Cash Box Partyworld at Ximen Ding. The KTV here is cheap can? It's lest than 20 bucks per person for 5 hours (student rate, thanks to Ah Siak). But we left early as we all are super shagged and will need to wake up early the next day for our planned itenary.
Went to Chiu Fen today for some sight seeing. However, weather today isn't too good hence we didn't see much of great views. Nonetheless, me and my gang of friends bought a lot of things (as gifts) and I am totally hooked on buying the wooden postcards. I find it so unique can? Maybe can do some franchising in Singapore as I don't see such things in Singapore yet. Good market to move in and then draw out fast.
After walking the whole stretch of shops and all, buying lots of stuffs and all, we walked further down to the food and stay in area which I somehow didn't know how to continue to walk. Hence, we stopped over at one of the house like shop and asked the friendly uncle the direction to the nearest bus stop. This nice uncle even gave us a map to follow.
As it was drizzling when we started walking and the rain became heavier as we walk and by the time we reach the bus stop, all of us are wet (except Xiu as she has umbrella). Took the bus back and shop a bit at the Taipei Station before heading back to our area.
Wash up a bit (as we were drenched in the rain before that) before we head to Ximen Ding at around 7.30pm.
Once we reached Ximen Ding, we headed to look for the Toilet Conceptual Restaurant and had our proper dinner there. It's supposingly the first proper meal we have from the day we reached Taiwan. The food there isn't too expensive I thought as the portion was big. Bought some great and cut things there before leaving the restaurant for some shopping along the way.
Stop by a shoe shop and bought a pair of sports shoe which I can use for my running (yeah, finally have a proper shoe for my running after so long). After that walk further down back to the station and headed for our KTV session at Partyworld at Cashbox.
We need to show our identification card before we are allowed to go in (they are strict). But their service was superly good. How I wish singapore's KTV service is as good. There were so polite until we all can't take it. So not used to it.
Anyway, now it's 4am and I am turning in already. Tomorrow going for Hot Spring so need some beauty sleep now. Till the day I update, take care.
Blogging in the Shin Shih Hotel in Taiwan now. So far this place still not bad, quite like the place here, and the food at Shilin Night Market, mama mia, nice!
Touched down on Taiwan group at around 7.45pm and after all those checking-out from the custom and dili deli, we are out at around 8 plus and borad the bus from Tao Yuan Airport at around 9pm.
In about half an hour, we reached our destination and walked over to our hotel, which is less than 1km away from the train and bus station.
Hotel room looks quite fine for us. It looks the same as that reflected on the internet. We have the victoria style bathroom and starry night as our ceiling is full of stars. Hee. But I still miss my photo frame in my room.
Anyway, after putting our things in the hotel room, we headed out to Shilin Night Market as it's rather late already. By the time we reach Shilin Night Market, it's around 11pm already. Luckily there are still food. Thanks to ZS who brought us to the shopping street, making me and Xiu saw so many things that we intend to buy. Grrr~~ But we are hungry, so we didn't stop to look at things but headed to the makan street.
Got some food to eat. (their first stop was smelly toufu which I refuse to eat, I can't stand the smell, damn smelly) After that we headed further down to eat more of the stick food, quite delicious though. With all those small small fried chicken chop, mushroom, vege and lots of fruits at incredible price, we are all full to the brim. Didn't know eating this way can make us that full sia. And what's more, it so delicious that we can even stand in the drizzling rain and eat. Haha.
Reach back to hotel at around 1am and wash up before going to bed at 3am.
Now, waiting for Xiu to get ready and we will be heading out to our next destination. Blog when I'm back again.
HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY!!!
