Taipei, a very nice place with good weather . . very cold . . its SPRING over there now . . you can get to see SAKURA over there as well . . temp. is abt 17 - 19 degrees. freezing cold for me . . lolx. Now, let me tell you for my experience in taipei . .
1ST day,
Our flight is 8.05am by China Airlines flying to Taipei. Duration is about 4hrs and 25mins. Our time here is the same as taipei. haa... i saw QI YU TEACHER IN MY FLIGHT TO TAIPEI!!! Weather is about 17degrees when we touch down taipei airport. Our travel agent bus came to pick us to the hotel.
Thanks to five star travel, which recommended .AStar hotel. for our very last minute booking turns out to be very pleasant during my stay with them. Actuali i have never heard about this hotel and i am always rather fussy about choosing of hotels so at first, i was rather turned off when they recommend me this 3star hotel . . but due to the peak season in taipei, i had no choice but to select this hotel during my stay. . i think very commonly, everyone will come to think. . hey! is this hotel safe?clean?very far from town? well, that was wad worries me at first . . BUT to my surprise . . I DID NOT REGRET CHOOSING ASTAR AS MY HOTEL DURING MY STAYIN TAIPEI. . the outlook of the hotel may be alittle old and thats because in taipei, they dont rebuild and when people buy this building,house or land. . they get to keep it for life. So thats y the building seem alittle old BUT !! the internal look of the hotel was amazing and service from the staff is PERFECT. They are very efficient and well-mannered unlike some 5star hotel in singapore that could provide lousy service . . really mann... i was so satisfied with their service and coming from a 3star hotel, i give them a 5star for their service quality. The rooms are big enough, not crampy, clean and bright. Its about 10mins walk from hotel to mrt but there are alot of shops on the way to the mrt . . so it will keep you not feeling tired and lazy to walk. On our last day of stay, in the night, we heard abit of weird sound coming from somewhere . . but i think if you dont think so much . . its a very nice place to stay. i give the hotel 4.5/5.
After putting down our luggage, we went down to XIMENTING for shopping and food. We chose KFC instead because over there, in taipei, they sell alot of pig stuff. . .pig blood ice-cream, intestines and blah blah . . so not realli to my liking. . i stayed for fast food instead. haa! bought alot of stuff in ximenting and had a bad time carrying to our next location, SHILIN NIGHT MARKET, AT shilin, food is a problem for me but other than that, location is good cus its juz beside the mrt station. Over there, you can buy stuff, play games and eat . . alot of people and things to do . . we end our day at abt 11.30pm and headed back to the hotel to rest. END.
2ND DAY
Woke up at about 7am, went for our complimentary half day tour, brought us to the museum and a place where they sell tonics, food and jades. Didnt buy much because i am not into believing those stuff. =D other than food.
Our tour ended at about 3pm and they dropped us off at a nearby shopping place. Went to afew night markets example: RAOHE NIGHT MARKET AND TONGHUA NIGHT MARKET, brought even more stuff until my baby hand is about to break off, we decided to take a cab back to the hotel. Settled for mcdonalds this time. =D END.
3RD DAY
A relaxing day for us. Woke up abt 8am, Went to XINBEITOU, SWEET ME HOT SPRING RESORT HOTEL for our spring bath. We book a private room for just the both of us, with a hot and cold spring bath and a small corner to relax and private bath at the price of NT 1050 for both. Quite cheap and it coverts to abt $50 singapore dollars for both. WORTH IT!
After spring bath, we went for alittle bit of shopping at DANSHUI, look at some seceneries and took some pics. . Following, we went for full body massage + leg massage for only NT $1500 each and that end up to abt less than $100 singapore dollars each!! worth it too. but beware . .the massage can be abit painful. =D location is at quite a high class place in ZHONGXIAO FUXING AREA, in one the massage centre about 15mins walk from mrt.
After that, we went to JAY CHOU first japanese food outlet for dinner. Shop name is BUTAYA but when you go there, shop name will be in chinese. its also at ZHONGXIAO FUXING. Outside his shop you get to see a lovely pig walking around the fence . . so cutee.. and inside is nicely decorated furnishing with handsome waiter!! theres one that realli look like jay chou .. omg..handsome. following, took a cab down to SHOW LUO ZHI XIANG shop,STAGE, in kaifeng st. Saw him lo...but very fast he went n hide liao...lolss.. inside the store room i think..lols . . went into his shop, alot of beautiful T-shirts,caps and bags etc. . bought a T-Shirt from his shop thats cost me abt NT 1500. which converts to abt 60plus 70 singapore dollars. I saw one T-shit dammnn nice with diamond, cost NT 4800!! soo exxx... abt 200 singapore dollars.. all the tees are designed by him. i think hes so rich by now.lols.. following, we headed back to the hotel. shag . . END
4TH DAY, last day in taipei
Woke up abt 11am, went downstair for japanese cusine, ate about NT 1600 for both. Nice and fresh sashimi, crabs and etc. . following, went to SOGO and duty-free to shop den headed down to LONGSHAN TEMPLE to pray and night market. After that, we went back to RAOHE NIGHT MARKET to do our last min shopping and headed back to the hotel to pack out luggage. END
5TH DAY
Going back to singapore . . reached sg about 9pm in the night due to flight delay in taipei. . so sad . . end so fast eh .. haaa.. but i had great fun. thanks baby for accompanying these few days. =P
I THINK OVERALL, I REALLI ENJOYED MY HOLIDAYS IN TAIPEI AND IF THERES NO EARTHQUAKES OR TYPHOONS OVER THERE, I WILL PLAN TO STAY THERE FOR GOOD. REALLI NICE. . I LOVE IT.

my thoughts..
haven been blogging for 2 days . . had been overnight at bb's hse . . but kinda got very hurt and stressed up with bb's mum today.
guess she somehow found out on why i m so free nowadays and start prompting me doubts like "where r u actuali working now and stuff" . . cus i didnt told her that i was retrenched and i actuali took up the courage of hinting her that i m abt to be retrenched and guess what she said? . . she said hey . . why dont you work properly . . since u had got a good job why u dun wanna wrk and keep on changing jobs... in my mind, i thought..hey..i was retrenched ..nt resign myself..but guess she doesnt understands.. . bb started to ask me why i was so down in mood . . he should had cared for me but instead he told me that why i suddenly mood swing like mad and nag at why m i angry over such small thing and dozed off . . doesnt he knows that my heart is hurt and crying . . will he hug me tight n tell me he is there for me.. . in fact ..no.
i dunnoe how much hav i had to try very best to love his mum cus i m realli very tired in doing so...my heart is realli painful and no one knows...no one understands,...even him. should i let tis relation go? . . i m tired.
