my face is filled with chocolate right now!
im trying out this chocolate peel off mask which i just bought today.
decided to update this deserted blog since i have 20-30mins to spare before i remove my mask.
oh.. i can already feel that my pores are very tightened now...

ordered 2 VS bags some time ago.

i am not in need of any new bags actually, i got them simply because they are far too cheap chip cheap!!!
the cost + shipping of the above 2 are less than S$30 alright!
initially i thought it was quite ridiculous for me to get the weekender bag, but i went ahead and got it thinking that it will come in handy some day.
luckily i made the right choice to get the weekender bag cause' this will definitely be useful for the tw trip during june!

oh yes... we're visiting taiwan again! an even longer trip this time round! =D
initially i was having a bad feeling that i won't be able to join them for this trip as i have too many datelines to meet for work and so many dates to avoid.
so glad that we managed to find some dates to compromise everyone's work schedules.
hrm... i believe some ppl aint v happy when i apply for my 8 days work leave the other day, but who cares?! =X
such a waste that samm will be leaving for her nippon trip by june and won't be able to join us this time round.
suet will be coming along with us during this trip instead.
oh my. i can't wait till june alr.

prelims started on mon.
ok. quite bad. v bad infact.
tho. we still have 2 more mths to exams, i dun think we can finish covering everything by then.
haiszzz...
i detest exams. =(

ok. off to peel off my choco mask!

day 2 is finally here~~!!!
*image heavy*

DAY 2 - 30/9/2007 (Sun)


Rise and Shine
since i admit that i am the one who will probably take the longest to shower plus i have to put make up and all, so i volunteered to be the first one to wake up every morning.
was supposed to wake up at around 7 plus am that morning. cause' we were told that BBT reporting time was like 9am that day. but i overslept and woke up at only around 8am i think. still, that morning was the one we all woke up earliest through out the trip. hahaha! see how much time we spent sleeping!

we took 2 to 3 hours, from the time i wake up to get ready everyday. so by the time everyone got ready to get out it was around 10 plus am already. it was like 1 hour plus past the reporting time...

cabbed over to guang qi she from our hotel...

Guang Qi She
the fans waiting over there were looking at our cab when we were alighting. they must be suspecting it's some BBT guys inside. hahaha...

the feeling was some sort similar like those superstar reporting or recording. just waiting aimlessly and spotting familiar faces appearing in cabs or whichever streets.
there are quite many streets over there so meaning many ways they can come from also.
they have different groups of fans standby at different streets and when they see them coming from there they will signal the rest over and start mobbing them.

he's not that big size in real person.
he doesn't have much fans also.

wei yu who came out of the studio alone to 7-11 to buy drink.
we went 7-11 to get our drinks also, i bought this 100% fruit/vegetable juice which tastes really horrible!!!

overall, all of them looks much better in real. much skinny, slim and good looking.
that 6 guys came 2 by 2 tgt. xiao yu and ah wei came with their bikes. ah wei really have problems reaching the ground when he's on the bike! hahhaaha... he reversed his bike and parked it infront of where we were standing.
ah ben, duo duo and another guy(cnt rmb who was it... li quan?) came tgt also. duo duo looks much much better in real person. ah ben looks fair and clean... hahhaa
from the distant of the pictures i think can tell that we weren't that interested in them uh. hahhaa
we were busy snapping our own pictures while waiting...

decided to go fill up our stomachs than to wait under the bad weather. the weather was really bad cause the sun was blazing but it kept drizzling.
boarded a cab and told the uncle we wanna get to zhongxiao dunhua which is the nearest MRT station. got to know from the uncle that we just have to walk out from the street we were at to the main road which leads to the MRT station. hahahaa!!! so end up we got a free ride from him. =)

ZhongXiao DunHua - DingTai Fung
searched our way to DingTai Fung.

it was really crowded that day cause' it was a Sunday and many families were there for lunch. took our queue no while we waited under the humid weather.
was flipping through our itinerary while sitting outside the bench waiting for our no to be called and this uncle beside me was looking at my itinerary and started speaking to me in English and recommending us places to visit.
some Taiwanese are really friendly.

they have many game stalls there.
agnes, jw and sam were really hooked on to this.
they returned with a lang ya bang each. hahaha
sam played another game before this with water balloons. she threw the darts at the water balloon and the water from the balloon squirted onto the stall owner's pants. damn funny!

dan shui is really a nice place to visit. i regretted not getting naraya bags from there cause i thought we will be returning to there on some other days but end up we didn't cause dan shui is too far to travel.

took the train back. we were busy train hopping to try to get seats to sit through out the journey, but we din manage to in the end cause it was far too crowded.

Hotel
back to hotel to put all our barangs and rest a little while before heading out to XMD.

XMD
many stalls that night since it was weekend.
shopped a little and da bao-ed food back to hotel.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
had macs and tian bu la that night. some jap pork burger with sugar free green tea and no chilli. the burger taste dry... =X

we patronize the convenience store below our hotel almost everyday to get mineral water cause we don't really dare to drink their water over there.

to be continued...
9 more days to come.

i'm now trying to blog something which happened exactly a month ago!
this week is probably the best time for me to blog about the trip before i used up my brain cells for school stuffs in the upcoming tests.
i really don't know how much i can recall, probably 60 - 70 percent of the whole trip i guess.
alright lets see.

DAY 1 - 29/9/2007 (Sat)

Departure
us at the departure area before boarding the flight.

On Board
the scenery outside the window.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

the flight was very frightening!
it was very bumpy and unstable through out the 5 hours plus journey.
the pilot is either some unexperienced fellow or the plane met some turbulence during the journey.
we neither get to sleep nor sit comfortably thus we all got very impatient during the flight.
thank god we all bought travel insurance for this trip.

Arrival
finally... after almost 6 hours of flight...
we touched down Taipei SAFELY!
i felt so relieved~!

the journey was really bad cause we actually felt dizzy even after we have alighted from the plane.

went to exchange more currencies and headed to the migration hall.
we wasted almost an hour queuing at the migration hall trying to get out!
you can actually tell inefficient they are in their work.
plus we wasted another 10 mins or so queuing at the wrong queue.
cause' when we reached the migration hall, this auntie (one of the staffs there) leaded us to the queue. so we just queued over at the queue and started chit-chatting. it was then i realized that the queue we were in are actually for locals only. so i went to double check with the auntie which leaded us there initially thinking that there must be some reason for her to lead us there. this rude auntie disgraced herself by showing how uneducated she is and it totally pissed me off.

at last, we got ourselves outta the arrival hall. the sky was already v dark then.
went to apply for our youth pass and then to the public phone to call the seller for the concert tixs. bought tixs for freego coach after everything was settled.

Freego
on board freego.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

the ride was long as expected.
we saw a very big and round moon during the journey. it was really big and round and it seems really close to us.

the journey wasn't comfortable too. cause' halfway through the driver was arguing with someone over the phone. he was really shouting until he 破音 and his voice turned hoarse. it was very irritating, i felt like asking him to hang up his phone and concentrate on the road but i don't have the guts to do so.
we stopped somewhere near Taipei Main Station and alighted to change to a mini van which will send us directly to our hotel. the driver stood at the side and refused to unload our luggages for us. furthermore, we can't really reach our luggages cause' it was placed quite deep inside the coach. i was annoyed and asked how he expect us to unload them. he started screaming back saying ask someone else to take. i knew he was pissed over the argument but i'm even more pissed off cause i paid for my ride can! there was this sissy guy in this other group of people which is of no help at all too. in the end, the driver from the mini van came and helped us. i was fuming through out the rest of the journey to hotel.

i have a very bad impression of taiwan even before i reached hotel.
and guess what? Agnes's sharp eyes spotted that the barbarian actually appeared in epi 12 of hei tang ma qi duo during a scene when they went to board freego. !!!! WTH

Hotel
after being caught up with so many displeasing incidents through the journey. we finally reached our hotel.
hrm... our hotel don't really look like a hotel from the outside. it was kinda camouflaged i would say. we can't even locate our hotel at first, and some dun even know there's actually a hotel over there. but overall, i would say that the hotel is great for the price we paid for. location wise i think it's better than rainbow too.

it was already 9pm when we checked-in, 2 hours behind the scheduled time.
explored our room and unpacked a little before we rushed out to meet the seller for the concert tixs.

MRT
got our easy card and board the mrt to Shilin Night Market.
since it was our first day over there, we were still not used to keeping to the right on escalator and queuing before boarding the train.

Shilin Night Market
it was very crowded as it was weekend.
went to the food area first to fill up our stomach before shopping.

our dinner: beehoon, or ah jian, hua zhi jian and some awful pearl milk tea.

tried the ice cream puff from here. NICE!

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

headed over to the shopping area after that.
the streets are extremely crowded.
we stayed and shopped till 1 am plus, many shops were still opened then.
cabbed back to our hotel after that.

crossed over a street to get to 7-11 to buy snacks and water that night. and it was later that we found out that there's actually a 24-hr convenience store below our hotel!
hahaha

been back in Singapore for 4 days, but i'm still not used to:
- keeping to the left on the escalator (we are suppose to keep to the right in tw)
- seeing the driver seat on the right (the driver seat in tw is on the left)
and etc...
cause' we have been so used to seeing and walking the same route for the past 11 days.
it was only on the last day when we were on board freego on our way to airport that we realized we turned to the left for the past 11 days when we walk out of our hotel. we actually neglected those shops on the right and it was also on the last day that we realized that there's actually a cosmed so near us! tmd... totally wasted my energy to lug my heavy masks all the way back from hou shan pi. >.<

shall blog about the trip when i have the time.
that is after i catch up with school work first.
i have a resume and some job application stuffs to do.
this semester is terribly short.
i hope to plan for another overseas trip after the semester. provided that i can cover my loss for this trip first.
heee... real tough but i gotta save up.
