Taiwan trip - 19 April (Jiufen, Bisha Fish Harbour, 101 & Wufenpu)

Yup, it's day 2 and it was a pretty long drive up to Jiufen, since it's on top of mountainous area. But it's a really nice and cool place and I simply love the way things are organized and sold there! Bought some souvenirs from here and of coz not forgetting to take photos!


Entrance to Jiufen


Me & 2nd aunt, trying to act local... haha


My mum!


Kawaii clogs!


The street of Jiufen


Fish Harbour... So suay, fell down the steps of the coach while alighting and suffered bruises all over my back and arms! Luckily it's me who fell, not the old aunties or grannies, or else that'd be really bad!


Dunno wat weird animal is that.. .haha


At 101


My beloved Granny!


me & Mum!


Dad!






Wind at 101 is so strong... My dad covers himself up, till I think he looks like Jay Chou. Mum, Granny and Aunt can't stop laughing after seeing this pic! LOL...


Or ah jian at the night market.. Not to my taste though... It's too soft till it taste weird!

Taiwan trip (18 - 24 April )updates

Yes yes... Finally I'm back posting something for the TW trip...

18 April SIN - TAIPEI
Arrived at Taipei in the afternoon at about 3 plus and checked out before we met the tour guide at the lobby. As the airport was under construction, it was pretty chaotic and not easy to find our way to the coach before boarding it, but yeah... we arrived safely travelling on China Airlines... LOL

First stop - Shilin Night Market & Ximending

The infamous "Coffin Bread" at Shilin.. Oishii!


The different flavours you can choose for the coffin.


The "Coffin"


Temple at Shilin Street.. Dun remember passing by here the previous time I was here with Apple in 2006.


Ximending infamous white bittergourd.. The drink is not only not bitter, but it's sweet and really refreshing... :D

More pics on my FB.. Lazy to upload too many of them.. LOL...

I'm back... Dead tired

Yeah, I'm back from my Taiwan trip... Dead tired after so many days of travelling...
Just back from a facial treat with Apple and I feel like dropping dead into bed...
More updates to come for the trip when I regained my energy~

Off to TW for a week from tomorrow!

Gosh, I'm excited... Will be off to Taiwan with my parents, granny, aunt and 2 neighbors tomorrow morning. Had booked for a mini bus to send us all to the airport since it's more economical that way...

Granny & Aunt are now at my home and it's so noisy... Waiting to send my dear rabbit, Chou chou over to Maeve to take care for a week~

Just back from JB

Yeah, I took 1/2 day off from work today to go JB with my parents n sis and just got back home at 9 plus!
My 6th aunt was in a really critical condition yesterday and in ICU... Glad she's now regained consciousness and recovering pretty well...
Indeed, one must really take good care of health properly... Who knows eating something wrong can cause a disaster to a kidney patient... Scared the hell out of everyone... Phew...
Oh well, at least she's now much better and able to eat some food... Must gambatte for the 2 young kids!

On a side note, it's now official.. My boss has tendered and 6 May will be his last day... What will my future be like, being in this job for only 6 months? Hopefully I can survive under whatever new boss whom I'll be reporting to. :(

A walk down MacRitchie Reservoir!

For the first time in my life, I've finally visited the reservoir! I've been ranting that I wanna go visit as I've heard how beautiful and nice the place is...

Finally yesterday, I went with my beloved best fren Apple for a walk there... It's not as simple as we though it to be... We underestimated it.. LOL... Really a nice place with nice scenery and we took about 3 hours walking for more than 1o clicks... What's amazing is that it actually links to the Bt Timah Nature Reserve which is near my home.. Was telling Apple, next time we must try that route.. Hee...

Ok, here are some photos to share of our walk yesterday:







Apple is so afraid of this monkey.. LOL



More pics can be located in FB... It's a hassle uploading photos now as it's slow and keeps failing. :(

After the walk, we headed to Jurong East for lunch then went back to Apple's place and had a great afternoon together, choosing her photos for her wedding montage for her.. I had a really good laugh as I've never seen her childhood photos before... OMG... LOL...

Had a really enjoyable day with my dear ge ge! :D

7 April 2011

Hee... Will remember yesterday as the day when someone said it's the best food I've ever cooked!
What's the dish?
Simple dao chiam with lean pork, pig tail and pig kidney!
LOL~~~ Happy :D

Annual Tombsweeping

Just came back not long ago from our annual tomb sweeping at Grandpa/Grandma's urns in Aljunied. This is an annual affair which we will go and I think it's pretty meaningful this year.

As we seldom keep in touch with the relatives on my dad side.. not even my 2 aunts who are my dad's sisters, naturally it feels a bit weird to talk to my cousins.. But am glad, for the power of facebook, we've been kept updated on each other's lives and what's going on, hence creating topics for us to chat on and we had a great morning at big aunt's stall at Aljunied after tomb sweeping..

My niece is so kawaii but too bad she did not go with us today... :D Baby Charlotte! Kawaii~~~

Serves him right!

Serves that stupid flasher right!!! My dad caught him today...

Not sure if anyone remembers, but I bumped into a flasher about 2-3 years ago while waiting for my company transport somewhere near my house along a MAIN ROAD. Yes, a main road... I made a police report back then and din see that stupid guy who seem to be of low IQ for these few years, till a few weeks back...

I couldn't recognize him at first though I found him familiar so I let it by... He also din do anything the past few weeks while I was waiting for the company transport as there was an auntie waiting for her grandkids every morning same time in the same area with me - note: near a primary school in my area.. It wasn't until on Tues morning when the auntie din come and that stupid guy keeps standing about 3m away from me and kept staring at me.. Then he suddenly flashed.. The SAME way the flasher did few years back and that's when I recognized him as the same guy.

Honestly, was pretty freaked when that happened and I din run away, still stayed pretty calm but I was really really scared.. Thinking if he might attacked me or do some other funny thing.. Many thoughts came to my mind, shouting, take a pic of him etc etc, but I froze and couldn't really do anything... He ran away after 1 or 2 mins but I was still shocked and stunned....

For the next 2 days on Wed n Thurs after the incident, I walked till the plaza area to wait for a bus but I know that's too tiring for me.. So my mum got my dad to go down with me to the waiting point today morning and we're so lucky he appeared on the first day my dad was waiting for him... My dad did chase n caught him, but let him go after a stern warning as there were some aunties nearby who know that low IQ guy's mum... Sigh.. a bit regrettable that he was not sent to the post as that area is very near a primary school and I wonder how many girls/women he's FLASHED to! Damn! Aragh...

Wat a way to start my April's Fool Day!

Here goes March!

Time really flies and March is gone~
I've been happy the past 2 weeks for no obvious reasons and I guess that's really good... Hee...

I've been planning on a Taiwan trip and will be going with my Granny, parents, aunt and 2 neighbors on week of 18 April... A bit shang nao jin as till now still can't find suitable caregiver for my dear rabbit, Xiaobai! :(
