Day 1 - 180408
its already the third time im taking a flight but im still having jitters.. we took SQ876, flight time 835am, at Terminal 3.
Reached Taiwan around 1pm.. so excited! we were happily bouncing around Taiwan's airport.. trip to our hotel takes like 45mins *OMG*
Out hotel is just one street away from Xi Men Ding.. and for these 8 days, the only thing in our survival kit is a map. i am a direction idiot!!! so its nothing but a trash to me.. luckily ru and joyce can read maps.. i rmb on our first night when we wan to leave our hotel and go for dinner at Xi Men Ding, we din even know where the hell is it. oh, its just at the opposite road lolx.. dinner was at the Toilet Theme Restaurant!!! Yummilicious! oh, btw, their cars can drive on pedestrain way.. abit de wrong.

Day 2 - 190408
Breakfast were 2 eggs, 1 ham and 1 bread with milk tea.. and off we go for the day one tour sponsor by our tour agency! they took us to this very famous hotel in Taiwan which looks like a palace! 娘娘饶命！小女子不敢了！
then to the Hot Spring!!! its an indoor one lahz.. abit disappointed.. thought is those open air kind where u enjoy while watching the mountain and water.. but no lehz.. pictures below are before we dipped in the pool.. the process.. *ahem* we keep for our own reference only hehe..
Lunch was at this very uniquely designed restaurant.. super queer looking building.. the furnishing inside is also machiam a cave.. with 3 storeys high.. heard the lady boss start everything from scratch and their deco are all recycled.
.jpg)
and the tour guide even brought us to have our 8-characters analysis. birth date and time all these lahz.. what they say are pretty true for me.. then then then! its Taipei 101!!! but we din go up to the 89th level for the Taipei view.. the tix is exp ok. 101 got nothing much.. all branded stuff.. like Paragon.. anyway their branded are not cheap.
.jpg)
then the cheap part comes in.. WU FEN PU! damn its like Bugis Street No.2! we were told many ppl get lost inside cuz its freaking big.. that night i already bought 4 clothings in less than an hour. ITS HEAVEN! oh but please be reminded that their stuffs are not THAT cheap lahz.. its the price u find in Bugis Street lo or abit cheaper thats all.. dinner was the famous Ah Zhong Mee Sua!
Day 3 - 200408
i hate my sixth sense. Breakfast was really 2 eggs, 1 ham, 1 bread with milk tea again. *faints* WE ARE GONNA EAT THOSE CRAP FOR 8 DAYS! *vomit* today just the four of us and Taipei City Hall. oh Taiwanese are such orderly people lahz.. when their escalator indicate please stand at the right side, they obliged. when the mrt indicates they shud stand at the right side of the door and let passengers alight first, they did! Singaporeans ought to be so ashamed of yourselves! booOo! behave like some caveman.. the frequency of their train never exceeds 3 mins. Singapore, learn that.
went shopping around Taipei City Hall in the famous shopping mall 新光三越. we decided to have lunch at Mr Jay. Judging by the name, yes, this Italian Restaurant belongs to none other than our Jay Chou. and kns, this stupid restaurant is actually in Taipei Medical School.. never state there also! from the map its seems like we can walk there.. some kind soul told us it takes around half an hour to walk there from City Hall.. and guess what? we walked for 1 1/2 hours. almost died when we reached there.. we took the wrong route somewhere lahz.. lucky the food is good there.. the Salmon Cream Pasta is like the best i ever had. or ixit bcuz we are too hungry and tired that everything taste just as nice? but their service is *thumbs down*.
then we walk back to Taipei 101 which is at City Hall.. Duhz.. we took only like 20mins. we just look up at the sky, notice the tall landmark and walk towards it. oh anyway, dun try Ice Chocolate with Whip Cream in Taiwan Starbucks. it sucks.
another infuriating incident. some idiots are hogging this beautiful L-O-V-E sign for like bloody half an hour. they took enough photos to paste the whole cow. at that moment thre were another 4 letters in my mind. it starts with F and ends with K. we feel they did it on purpose cuz they know we are waiting. excuse me, Singaporeans are not 省油的灯 ok! they purposely we also purposely take the photos covering their ugly faces lo..
dinner was Mac! then *lightning and thunder* they dun have CHILLI SAUCE in their Mac!!!! huh? zhen de jia de? they only got pepper =.= thats sick. oh and we realise that Taiwanese perception towards Singaporeans are that they cant speak Chinese. they are so surprised we can speak proper chinese. i am even more surprised that they think we cant speak chinese. what is this man??
Day 4 - 210408
Erm do i need to tell u what i have for breakfast? we set off to Xin Zhu early in the morning. the trip takes like 1 hours plus. Our mission? to find Hebe's brother's Restaurant. lolx.. its a long long journey~
we reached just in time for lunch after cabbing from Zhu Bei Train Station. well, the food there is disappointing. ok, make that VERY disappointing. nothing compared to Mr Jay's pasta. had only 2 mouthful of my Prawn Creamy Pasta (and finishing all the prawns). it was drizzling when we left the place.. our train back to Taipei was at 14.55pm. we have like half an hour to spare after lunch. went the garden oppo and took some pictures. its one of the scene in Er Mo Zai Shen Bian!
then tradegy came. there is hardly any sight of cab. we have been standing in the rain (under umbrella) by the roadside and there is totally NO SIGN OF CAB anywhere that can take us back to the train station! we panicked. bcuz we are not in Taipei. we saw a police car and wanted to call for help but they drove us with us chasing behind.. =.= i hate the helpless feeling.. and we missed the train already! we went to the shops there and ask for help and they suggest we walk to the station. i guess thats the only solution also. so we walk lo.. aimlessly. then we see a stroke of light. WE SAW A CAB at the main road!!!!
went back to Taipei and head for Dan Shui Yu Ren Ma Tou! there is a beautiful bridge there.. and sea view! snapped alot of pictures.. Taiwan goes dark at 6pm..
.jpg)
Night activity was to Shih Lin!!!!! yah the famous night market.. unfortunately we din comb the whole Shih Lin lehz.. wasted. and Taiwan have smelly toufu EVERYWHERE lahz! got immune to the smell gradually.. dinner was Lu Rou Fan, Gong Wan Soup and Ou Ah Jian!! their egg omelette is yum yum!!!!! i miss it so much now.. din eat the famous Chao Big Chicken though.. upset. need to hurried back to hotel as it was rather late.
Day 5 - 220408
if u still have no idea what i have for breakfast i suggest u re-read my whole entry again lolx.. And why din anyone tell me that Jiu Fen is at the mountain top? its freezing cold!! like Genting! the scenery is breath-taking up there.. nicey! i forgot how much i spend there cuz i whack things like machiam they dun need money. anyway there is suitable for souvenirs.
lunch was at Coke Restaurant back at Xi Men Ding.. i was so hungry i can eat 2 cows by then. piggy is gonna love this cuz they stored so much coke i think it can last till water dry up in Pacific Ocean.
then then we went to GTV! mission? to grab hold of Mr Pig aka Xiao Zhu Luo Zhi Xiang for a picture! we reached around 6pm.. and we waited for Yu Le Bai Fen Bai Live to end.. we saw guest of BFB Zhang Dong Liang! then Xiao Gui! but no zhu.. so we waited.. and waited.. and waited... and waited.........
.jpg)
We saw Xiao Zhu lahz.. after 2 hours.. but he was too fast for us to capture.. sadded..
Taiwan has Asia's second highest ferris wheel at Miramar Shopping Mall. apparently SIngapore Flyer just beat it and is the first now.. lolx.. the tix is only NT$130! very cheap! but the whole journey i nearly died inside.. once again, i can re-confirm that i am afraid of heights. i grab onto ru's arms for the whole ride.. scary lahz!!! damn gross feeling!! but the view was nice though i spend most of the time calming myself down..
.jpg)
Ramen for dinner!! i like the ramen.. so Q! like Ban mian! my stomach is rumbling as i make this entry.. they have carrerfour in the shopping mall and guess what we saw?
=.= stupid sign.
Day 6 - 230408
We escape from the egg and ham monster!! we went opposite and got soya bean with pork cutlet wrap thingy for breakfast! its damn tasty. and Taipei is crazy today. its only 18 degrees when we left the hotel for Taipei Zoo. can u imagine visiting the zoo with ur jacket and still feeling like u are wearing a tank top in Antartica? The penguins are sooooooooooooooooo cute! so are the sleeping kola bears!
and its still THAT cold when we revisit Wu Fen Pu for somemore shopping!!!!! whack arh.. we just point, take, pay, go, next shop. and the process repeat like nobody business.. hehe.. its fun to spend money without thinking..
Day 7 - 240408
Escape from Egg monster Part 2 - Im Lovin' It! Big Breakfast is cheap in Taiwan. they allow pets in Mac. lolx.. thats cute! Plan for the day is to 中正纪念堂. ITS STILL FREEZING TODAY! while walking to 中正纪念堂 the wind is so strong our nose feels like going to drop off.. cooooooold~ nothing much there though.. we did alot of stupid pose in front of the once great leader in Taiwan.
then we went back for MORE shopping in Xi Men Ding.. =.= really spend to near our last cent. and the masks in their face shop is like half the price of Singapore's. BUY!!!!! dinner was at Tian Wai Tian Steamboat. dun really fancy Taiwan's Steamboat.. simin got a stomach upset after eating and joyce was vomitting the next day though the steamboat is not the prime suspect lahz..
then we went search for Stage. it was suppose to be some ulu corner in Xi Men Ding in Day 1. but at Day 7, it took us last than few minutes to locate it again. we walk so much yuan wang lu on Day 1. lolx..
Day 8 - 250408
HOME SWEET HOME DAY! i miss home! we promise not to complain about Singapore's humid weather cuz we have enough of the chilling wind. so much for that. i have been complaining every single day on the bloody hot weather since i came back.
anyway, we went Taiwan DFS and spend like rich lady on the perfumes. i really spend till my last cent on the perfumes lahz.. in the end we have to struggle with like 3 big carriers of stuff up the plane. one of the air steward saw and said "wow, lots of shopping!" lolx.. nah, i think is TOO MUCH shopping.. hoho..
flight back was smooth.. SQ877, left Taiwan at 230pm and touch ground at around 645pm.. next stop, CHILLI!!! =)
11:35 PM

爱，不需要让你知道
寒冷的二月，山中茫茫的雪中，一男一女艰难的移动着，他们都是户外运动的爱好者，相约进山看雪，途中意外碰到暴风雪，迷了路。
女人很喜欢男人，他们之间没有表白过，因为之前，女人仅仅是从男人的眼神中，捕捉到喜欢的信息，但是不确定。他们两个都是骄傲而怕受伤的人，因为不确定，所以不表白。
大雪中，他们手拉着手，说着鼓励的话，在齐膝的雪中艰难的前进，不停的走着，常常走不了几步就会摔交，衣服已经湿透了，被冷风一吹，两个人都嘴唇青紫。体力消耗很大，但女人仍然边走边笑，男人看着女人，轻松不少。尽管都在微笑，但是他们知道，死神正一步步向他们逼近。已经三天了，周围仍然是一望无际的雪地，体力已经透支，最糟糕的是，食物也越来越少了。
为了生存，他们把所有的食物都集中到了女人的背包里，由女人好好规划，控制每天的食量，以应付最糟糕的情形。更不幸的事情发生了，由于雪太深，在路过一片树林时，女人掉进雪洞里扭伤了脚，整个腿肿了起来，每走一步都要忍住巨痛。男人已经极度疲惫了，没可能背上女人前进，而且，女人也拒绝男人背她，她很清楚，这样的话，他们会一起死在山上。斟酌再三，只能由男人独自前行，找到出山的路，寻求救援。男人为女人支好了帐篷，安顿好。他们整理了彼此的背包，女人告诉男人“还剩下八块压缩饼干，咱们一人四块“，随后说“你出去帮我烧点水好吗？“男人烧好水送进帐篷来，女人说饼干分好了，装在两个包的头包里，男人摸了摸两个背包的头包，凭感觉，的确是一样多。他拉着女人的手，说“等着我，我马上回来”。直到这时，他们仍然没有向对方表达自己的爱恋，他们都是理智的人，这种情况下，可能一分手就是永别，如果表白之日就是永别之日，未免太过残忍。
男人根本不知道自己能不能走出去，如果，他们中只有一人能生存，那何必让对方用一生的时间，去忘记一个逝去的爱人呢？记得一个普通的朋友就足够了。女人无限依恋的看着男人“我等你，我知道你能走出去。”男人站起身，替女人盖好睡袋，转身。每走一段路，男人都做下记号，他一心想着找到救援，回去接女人，饿了，啃一口饼干，渴了，吃两口雪。男人的速度越来越慢，他提醒自己，不能停，只要停下就意味着死亡，那女人也就没救了，他努力坚持，他告诉自己，一定要出去。
终于，男人耗尽了最后一丝气力，倒下，失去知觉前，他想，女人的食物还够吗？还能撑住吗？醒来，男人发现自己躺在救援队的帐篷里，朋友发现他们没有按时出山，救援队已经进山搜救很久了。其实救援队一开始并没有发现男人，他们先找到女人的帐篷，然后顺着男人留下的记号，找到几乎冻僵奄奄一息的男人。男人的体温渐渐恢复，他问“她呢”，大家不语，他突然发现，救援队的成员眼角都隐隐有着泪光。男人一呆，“告诉我，她呢”，挣扎着要出去找她。救援队长用颤抖的声音说“别找了，她不在了，我们发现她的时候，已经去了，可能是出去融雪烧水，没力气回到帐篷，冻死了”……
三年后，男人结婚了，是一个和女人一样喜欢户外运动、喜欢笑的可爱女孩。女人走后，这个女孩陪男人走过了最难受的日子，男人逐渐快乐起来，有了感情，两人走到了一起，有时，他们也会一起怀念惋惜女人的逝去，也更珍惜现在的感情。当年的救援队长参加了他的婚礼。婚礼后，队长来到女人的墓地，女人在照片上，笑容依旧美丽。队长对女人说“你放心吧，他结婚了，很幸福“。队长流泪了，其实，当年，队长说谎了。女人不是冻死的，救援队发现她的时候，她好好的躺在帐篷里，睡袋盖的很好，男人替她盖好的，她舍不得动。女人是饿死的，打开她的头包，只有几块平平的石板，没有什么压缩饼干，剩下的压缩饼干，不是八块，只有四块而已。女人，把剩下的所有食物，都留给了男人，她真的，很爱他。队长发现女人的时候，她早已经僵硬的手中紧紧攥着一张小纸条：“我肯定撑不到他回来了，别告诉他，他该有自己的生活。”

人生就是为了找寻爱的过程，每个人的人生都要找到四个人
第一个是自己,
第二个是你最爱的人，
第三个是最爱你的人，
第四个是共度一生的人.
首先会遇到你最爱的人，然後体会到爱的感觉；
为了解被爱的感觉，所以才能发现最爱你的人；
当你经历过爱人与被爱，学会了爱，才会知道什么是你需要的，
也才会找到最适合你，能够相处一辈子的人。
但很悲哀的，在现实生活中，这三个人通常不是同一个人；
你最爱的，往往没有选择你；
最爱你的，往往不是你最爱的；
而最长久的，偏偏不是你最爱也不是最爱你的，
只是在最适合的时间出现的那个人。
你，会是别人生命中的第几个人呢？
没有人是故意要变心的，他爱你的时候是真的爱你，
可是他不爱你的时候也是真的不爱你了，
他爱你的时候没有办法假装不爱你；
同样的，他不爱你的时候也没有办法假装爱你 。
当一个人不爱你要离开你，
你要问自己还爱不爱他，
如果你也不爱他了，千万别为了可怜的自尊而不肯离开；
如果你还爱他，你应该会希望他过得幸福快乐，
希望他跟真正爱的人在一起，绝不会阻止，
你要是阻止他得到真正的幸福，就表示你已经不爱他了，
而如果你不爱他，你又有什么资格指责他变心呢？
爱不是占有，
你喜欢月亮，不可能把月亮拿下来放在脸盆里，
但月亮的光芒仍可照进你的房间。
换句话说，你爱一个人，也可以用另一种方式拥有，
让爱人成为生命里的永恒回忆，
如果你真爱一个人，就要爱他原来的样子─爱他的好，也爱他的坏：
爱他的优点，也爱他的缺点，
绝不能因为爱他，就希望他变成自己所希望的样子，
万一变不成就不爱他了。
真正爱一个人是无法说出原因的，
你只知道无论何时何地、心情好坏，你都希望这个人陪著你；
真正的感情是两人能在最艰苦中相守，也就是没有丝毫要求。
毕竟，感情必须付出，而不是只想获得；
分开是一种必然的考验，
如果你们感情不够稳固，只好认输，
真爱是不会变成怨恨的。
两人在谈情说爱的时候，
最喜欢叫对方发誓，许下承诺我们为什么要对方发誓，
就是因为我们不相信对方，我们根本不相信情人，
而这些山盟海誓又很不切实际：
海枯石烂、地老天荒，都不能改变我对你的爱!
明知道海不会枯、石不会烂、地不会老、天不会荒；
就算会，也活不到那时候。
许下诺言的时候千万注意，不要许下可以实现的诺言，
最好是承诺做不到的事，
反正做不到的，随便说说也不要紧，
请记住：”不可能实现的诺言最动人”
在爱情里，说的是一套，做的是另一套；
讲的人不相信，听的人也不相信。
你呢？找到了第几个？
茫茫人海中，你遇见了谁？谁又遇见了你？

there were moments when i am damn pissed, damn dulan, damn sianx.. esp with some people around.. i still leave my company hating someone. that person is really winner. but still, i muz thank you very much for all the criticize you had made to me when i was still fresh to the whole buyer thing. thank you for enlighting me on how an unreasonable and typical 'fake' colleague should act. you had been a perfect example =)
then there are moments when i really enjoy working in this company. Esp with the A-team. working in A-team is the best thing that can ever happen to me.. i love the cohesiveness that everyone in the team share. i rmb it doesnt come easy.. we really had very very hard time before this. im glad i experience both the hard times and the cohesiveness that we enjoyed now.
one year is more than enough to let u experience alot of things. what a fruitful year..
though i had always rant to leave the place, i still feel a sense of... emptiness.. when i filled up my clearance form......
of cuz i will feel sad.. i mean i have been seeing my colleagues more than i see my mum for this one year lahz~ =( Especially Cindy.. gonna miss her nonsense so much.. my ears are going to be so quiet without her constant chatters.. haha.. BUT but but but~ its okiee cuz i will see you guys again at the MAHJONG TABLE! kakis rmb to jio for the next mahjong session hor!
and thank you everyone for the farewell treat plus the presents and the cake and the warm wishes today =) dun miss me too much~ hehehehe...
went town with the girls just now for dinner at Rabbit's Brand. the food is awesome lahz! and CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP! =) good recommendation joyce!
PS: to someone, goodness sake sharks wun dare come near you cuz they also scared of dying of high cholestrol.. so please choose somewhere with caves to hide yourself instead of going somewhere to display your 'wonderful' figure to everyone. thanks =)
