Weight of my luggage b4 trip.

Before checking in..

On de flat escalator to our plane. noe how we took tis pic?? Fen put her cam on de rubber handle.. skilled hor?? well for the next few days she wil b our prof photographer.

Me, Karen n San shared de same row in de plane..

after 3 hrs of flight..zzzz

After 3 1/2 hrs. Finalli i see Taiwan!! here i come!!

Then we took tis Freego coach frm airport to our hotel or 飞狗巴士. It even has de dog pic..LOL

At Xi meng Ding:

Reached our Paradise Hotel. Fantastic!! Look comfortable!! Dere's a bathtub too~~!

N we hit the streets for food!! Hungry..here we are, sharing korea 年糕, the princess's fav in Gong..

Den, to pastar bar where dere's vege spag for our san who is a vegetarian..

Saw tis cute salt n pepper..

N we hit the streets to shop~~! N i saw tis cute chow chow n 'demanded' to tk a pic of it. De cute n handsome owner was too shy to b in pic ba. So he hide behind de dog. No la. He was holdin up de dog so i can tk a nice pic^^

There's umpteen accessories stalls at XMD..all pinkish layout de..don't it resemble stalls at Bugis??

My fav bubble tea shop.

Me n Ru's fav~~!

I cannot resist de temptation of corn...yum yum....c de vendor behind?? another day tried to buy corn frm her n when abt to pay, she pushed her cart away, leaving me stunned. Den i realised police had arrived to catch those vendors n dey hav to hide..But farnie..dey oni push one side neh..like action action oni. dionks

the famous CD shop where all de famous artistee usually ahv their autograph session dere...but CD not cheap leh.. abt de same. Oni S.H.E ard 13 sing cuz jus out.(taiwan version de la)

This neoprint shop was 3 storey high...

And...de giap soft toy machine!! or 抓抓乐..my all time fav activity at Taiwan is to giap as many soft toy as possible!! C the mountain of chipmunks?? In spore u won get to see dat amt..Spore always like to cheat ppl..put a sparingly amt n de giap always not tight de..some more each giap is sing 1 lor. But in Taiwan it is oni sing 50cent. SO i can giap twice as much!!!

A overall view of XMD!!

2nd Day: (To Hot Spring and 淡水-鱼人马头)

This is how our hotel look like...got the roman feel..

And de starbucks so different look ....

Went for breakfast b4 headin to Spa.

On de way to MTR, see Mika Nakashima's poster. OMG she is damn beautiful la.

The thing abt how discipline taiwan ppl r when at MTR is no longer surprising with dem standin on righthand side of de escalator so left side is left for those who wan to rush up..but the way they queue to go in reali amuse me!! i hope spore change de queueing rule soon. SO de idiotic aunties won haf de chance to block de door. HOHO.

Are we dere yet??

Finali we reached 北投站, a place famous for hot spring..weet~~!! While lookin down on road, i saw tis box where it shows motorcycle gets to queue in front of road..tis show de motor reeali alot here..

Den we haf to wait for the hotel's shuttle bus to come..it's scorching hot sia...

Finali reached~~!

Tis is it~~! Luckily we do not haf to totally strip. But need pay more la..dunno y oso.

We were each given a basket which is filled with bathrobe, a slipper, n a ugly hair cap. N we had to keep de hair cap on our head while in de pool..

Getting ready~~!

Dere's a sterilizer for public combs. amazing.

See..no one wil look good with dat ugly cap. Degree of ah ma-ness: 90%

When de eculaptyst watever is sprayed..it gives de place a dreamy feeling...

Actuali de temp of water is 38 degree celcius n Ru is areadi screaming away..sum more she has to press de cam den jump into de water..pei fu pei fu....n stil able to squeeze out a smile=_=

Overall..i prefer de hot pool cuz im those cold blooded..cannot tahan de cold pool..wheras thin skin ppl like Ru n Karen cant tolerate more den 38 degrees. Rmb, when u go for hot pool, dun spend more den 30mins cuz u wil feel giddy...all toxic jus build up ma..hot spring got minerals to expel out those toxic frm u..so when u not used wit the amt of toxic..u feel giddy=))

Reached 淡水 areadi....

On the boat to 鱼人马头, which is a ride away frm 淡水..see de water..so scary..!!

Then..w/o warning, de boat made a sharp turn n drenched everyone of us..活该 lor..who ask us so enthu stand at de end of de boat..erm but Karen's cam was spoilt..so poor thing...

Tried to catch sunset but..was too cloudy!!

Alamak!! no sunset...

Caught pipi lookalike dere..so much rounder.ahah

Ermz it's a bit gross but lemme tell u..in taipei dunno de rest of taiwan..de toilet is designed in such a way dat u step on de flush not use your hands!! i almost did dat luckily i not so stupid haha. Btw de water was so yellow ahem* not cuz of my urine la.. cuz at 鱼人马头 de toilets use seawater to flush away de waste..ohhhhhh..lol

N tis is how crowded our hotel bathroom looked at nite... oni 3 gers areadi so messy.

3rd Day: (六福村 aka Theme Park and back to Xi Meng Ding)

Lemme tel u..out of 7 ppl, 5 chicken out so left me n chinlee, the more gung ho ones headed down to de themepark~~!

It is majestic~~!

There is 2 themes..first is the arabic theme!! Wah...so huge~~!

Den the jurassic park or western theme~~! N im trying out the 2 slides behind me!!

How could i don tk de ride on this dream horse which every little ger would wan to??

Thank God de weather was sunny dat day but a bit too sunny so me n chinlee bot this 刨冰 aka ice kacang..it was damn huge la.

After de little break, we headed for more fun!! Tis time we gonna get drenched..=_=

This beer barrel wil keep swirling n swirling~~

After all de crazy rides..we head to the animal session..wanna ride a mini horse but max weight of rider is 50kg...haha better not hurt de horse=xx Anyway tis not de mini horse la..it's a shy horse when 2 meinv try to stand close it..lol

AMazingly..i bumped into Shaomei Weijie n his frens at themepark..so coincidental..but like wat liam says..de feeling is always so shiok to see familiar faces in some foreign countries..now i can feel it..n it's another shock dat chinlee actuali noe de guys cuz she went taiwan 1 week earlier n went hua lien for water rafting n get to noe dem. hahaz.. De world is jus so small.

Den met up wit de gers, took a thorough walk at XMD again n we went to play de famous basketball..OMGosh we r pathetic..we had 3 players each n we cant even get a decent score...let alone beat de highest score=_= but it's a good work out for flabby arms though..

4th Day: (花莲 and 士林夜市 aka night market)

Setting off in de train heading to hua lian..

Caught some nice scenery along de way..

Then we had to book a cad where de driver wil tk us ard the whole of the touristic place in hua lian..not bad ah.we got money to book cab leh..

The driver wil stop half way for us to tk photos..

ALamak me n fen clash of clothing..n wear exactly de same...blue top n hot pants..

C the stream behind me..y is it grey in color instead of crystal clear rite? cuz it has been polluted by a cement factory nearby..but i tink it look quite nice blending into de rocks n nature ard it....

Oh ya bumped into Rumin n her taiwan gang in Hua lian..can u belive it?? hua lian leh..out of taipei le wor...im jus so happie to see familiar faces..make me feel at home..
