New Phone(part 2)... 28/08/07

I finally gotten mu new phone!! Yes yes, it's Samsung U600.
The phone is pretty much the same as my old phone, just that it has a better look, more slim
and more sleek. The best part of it is that I didn't have to burn my pocket owning it.

I paid a total of $48 for it without trading in my old phone too.
Glad to settle the phone thingy before it strains my relationshp with my brother. Haha...

Today I had a pleasant surprise! Joshua actually bought me a gift as Teacher's day present!
He was telling me that I am going to ge ta present and without hesitation, I replied, "Ya! I know. It's
my pay day!". Haha... Little did I know that he actually prepared a gift. It is actually
a pen with a key chain(picture above).

I thought it was a box of chocolate but I was wrong. It looks expensive! Sharks! I better
get something decent for him on Children's Day. *faint faint*

Oh! The photo is taken with my new phone! Haha... Guess it doesn't look too bad.
Pretty good considering it is taken with a phone.

Hym... Feeling alittle guilty and sad. Initially, I promised this secondary school gal that
I would sell her one of my S.H.E albums @ $28. But she hasn't been contacting me until I
initiated as I got someone who won the bid to the album. She begged me to sell her the
album instead and I felt alittle sandwiched - with her on one side and the winner to the
bid on the other. After a while, I decided to honor the winner the bid since he or she
placed the bid. Just hope this transaction follows through. I need money. = (

So much work to be done. Tomorrow lesson starting at 11am. I have been lagging and this is really BAD.
Time to go... Cheers!

Been a while (part1)... 28/08/07

Whao!!! I realised I haven't been blogging for a long time! I have no idea where I should begin with.

Last Saturday I attended the summer festival rganised by Japanese School at Changi campus. It was an eye-opener for me.

Honestly, I wasn't looking forward to it. I even had plans to give it a miss but I was glad I went in the end.

It was a long ride from Jurong to Expo where shuttle bus is provided. But it was all worth it though. The campus was packed with throngs people and clearly it was a much anticipated annual event. Without hesitation, we headed for FOOD!!! I was clearly famished at that time as I had skipped my lunch and breakfast.

The curry rice was so NICE! It wasn't spicy at all and it tasted way much better than the ones at Sake(this pretty much compensated for the gruelling hour worth of travelling time). After food, it was more food before we headed for the games section.

Veron had her go on something called Yo-Yo. Clearly she is an expect on this as she managed to get 4 yo-yos and she gave me one, a green one!!! And guess what, it is presently hanging beside my window!! Haha...

We wandered abit looking for more stalls to utilise our coupons before we settled somewhere around the stage. We watched with undivided attention as we were entertained by the mesmerizing performances put up by students of Ngee Ang Poly and the fellow Japanese teachers and students.

Then it was when Veron got all excited and got us closer to the main stage. Apparently, we had to dance. Yup, DANCE! Not sure what I have gotten myself into but I was pretty sure that Veron had a great time as she danced, mimicking the movements of the dancers on stage.

I wasn't sure I wanted to be part of the action so I hesitated. But after a while, i thought why not just give it a try!? I might not be able to attend something like this again. So I planted my belongings with one of the folks and before all, I was dancing(well, trying to) like the many others round the stage. Apparently, this was like some traditional Japanese dance or something. Everyone was enjoying themselves and clearly, i was as well. = P
See the first photo with the lady in blue Yukata? She is one of the dancers who led us through the dance. She looks so young and pretty for the age!! Hee...

I had such a great time that I evem suggested to Veron that next year should we be able to attend such event again, we should dress in Yukata too!! Sounds interesting!!!

That ended with a chat session @ TM's MacDonald's. Although I reached home a little past mid-night, it was a day to be remembered.

Oh! That night I also replied to my Japanese pen-pal. I was looking through the previous entries and I realised we have been communicating since July last year. Whao, it have been almost a year!!! I hope we can continue to do so as long as possible. = P

Fruitful day... 21/08/07

Had my tuition as usual today. I was quite early for the lesson, reached Joshua's place aboue 1420. Usually I'm late. Guess his mum was also a bit shocked to see me that early today.

Guess Joshua's getting used to me. He's getting a bit restless during lesson. Haha... I can understand. Maybe I am too demanding. Perhaps I should soften up a bit in future! And Yes yes!!! I am getting my pay on the next lesson! I can HARDLY wait any longer.

Was suppose to meet up with my 损友123 but due to some last min changes, we decided to give it a miss(somehow deep down inside me i hoped for it!?).

Since I had nothing to do, at least I try to deceive myself. I decided to go to Bugis 四马路 to pray. = P

Planned to go home for dinner but I didn't know why, I found myself @ the Central Library. I some work there and also printed some extra material for my school work. I went to the reference section to study also! There are in fact, tonnes of textbooks to read. Guess I found a place to find material if I need extra material that are found in all the expensive textbooks that I cannot afford to buy- Central Library level 7 science and humanities section. And on top of that, @ 7th floor, you are able to catch a really awesome view of Suntec and Marina. It's really a view! Shall snap a pict or two in future!

Should have noticed the pictures on the right by now ya!? They are from the bok that I have been reading: 沉睡的青春. At first I felt quite bored. But now, I'm way too engrossed! I can more or less guess the plot after watching the trailers. I can't wait for the movie to start screening in Singapore!!! Er, I think it is going to take ages for that to happen though.
= (

Tomorrow is another ok day, starting school at 10 and end at 12. 2 lessons in all but I have a long day on Thursday. I am so not looking forward to it. Haiz...

Haha...

samsung U600... 20/08/07

Today is another Monday. Just like any other mondays.

Had a mini group meeting with the folks. Wahaha~~ The handsome guy was there!!! He is wearing his sgnature black cap again!!! And I realised, he's very tanned!!!
*faint* Why am I so excited!? Not right!!!?!?!?!!?

Other than that brief meeting, nothing seems worth mentioning here.

Went home and tried to settle the new handphone issue. I seriously think I am not destined to own it.
After much persuasion, I managed to cajole my brother into accompanying me to IMM to get the phone but, the phone is SOLD out!!! Haiz...

For those that know me, I will never stop till I lay my hands on what I yearn for. So, I called M1 hotline to enquire on the phone's availability @ Westmall. Guess what, it's sold out as well!!! The guy told me the nearest is at Tampiness Mall. Haiz...

On the wasy back, after much more discussion, my brother decided we can try TM tomorrow provided we have car. So when I was home, I was informed that I can have the car tomorrow since daddy isn't working. Just when I thought everything is going well, I decided to call the hotline again just to double check on the phone availability and also to reserve one for me. And MAN!?!?!? It's SOLD-OUT!!!

Haha... I rest my case. I am not destined to own it. Things happen for a reason. = P

Hee... I can finally concentrate on other things.

Got to do tutorial and prepare for my tutorial tomorrow. Better start soon.

Till then...

Oh!! Susie is supposed to be back today!! Believe she had an awesome time in Taipei. Can't wait to hear from her.

first weekend @ home... 19/08/07

My head is spinning!!!!!!!!!!

This is my first weekend at home without going out. Did accomplished some things but most of all, glad I saved the money from going out.

Nothing much to blog since I was pretty much at home.

Been trying to read the book I bought from Taiwan, 沉睡的青春. Hee... but ever time I open the book, I find myself dozing off after a while. I shall try to finish it!!

Got lesson tmr @ 9am...

Ciao...

New Specs!!! 17/08/07

Yeah!! I finally gotten my new pair of glasses after like, er... 5 years?!

Haha... Been so busy with school work and stuff.

Oh! I might be getting a new phone! Apparently my brother has a $200 M1 voucher. He has no intention to get a new phone as he has just changed his not long ago. Hym... I did a bit of maths, if I wanna change, I need to top it up with another $18 bucks. Well, honestly, I cannot really afford it. Hee... I shall see what I can do then.

It's like 4 in the morning?! Haha...

SLEEP!! zzZZZ

Bad Dinner day!!! 16/08/07

I just had a really bad dinner. It was so bad that I lost my appetite half way through having it. I was at Jurong East Entertainment Centre to sell my Adidias pins that I have bought from Taiwan. By the way, I have made my first profit from the sales of these pins! Although it is a really minute amount, I am satisfied. = P Back to the dinner... I couldn't find a decent place to eat so I settled for the Kopitiam at JEC.

My favourite food is western so I decided to have chicken cutlet. Man!? I think I had the worst chicken cutlet ever. The food was so oily and to top it off, it was tasteless!! Waste of money? DEFINITELY! Er... I think I will never patronise the shop AGAIN!!!

Well, there are some good things that happened today though. First of all, I have finally gotten a group for one of my modules! Apparently my group members are these 2 folks that I see them quite frequently during my past few modules, just that we do not know one another personally. Haha... One of the guys is quite handsome too! He is always seen wearing this cap and he rides a BIKE! Cool!!! Hope everything turns out well.

I had my first lesson on Service Learning. The lesson is nothing like the ones that I take back in Engine faculty. It is really a paradigm shift in the teaching method. It is defnitely more engaging as compared to my usual lesson. And guess what, I happened to meet Mich's old sweetheart! N wonder he looks so familar! Haha... I entered the class and saw this guy sitting alone in one corner. Well, he looked kind of familar but I just couldn't figure out who he was until half way through that I realised he was the one I once saw in Mich's friendster! Small world? Indeed!!
(Mich, if you are reading this, don't feel sad ya!? Just feel sad DER that he WAS once your boy boy! Haha... Oops...)

Nothing much to look forward to this semester. I just hope everything goes well, as smooth as possible. Don't think I have much time for fun and etc... Perhaps I shouldn't even think about that!! = (

As for my specs, won't be getting it tomorrow and anytime soon I guess. I just saw some nice frames at some optical shop at Jurong. Hym... If I am able to get myself out the present transaction, I will consider this new optical shop.

Hee~~ Susie is in Taipei now! Think she is having magnitudes of fun as I type now. So JEALOUS!!!! Hope she takes many photos so that when she is back we might meet up or something. Should be interesting!!!

Better get the Biore Porepack off my nose before it fuses with my nose, 2 become 1... Haha...

Till then, cheers!!!

Current weight: 59.0kg
Target weight: 60.0kg

I will EAT hard! Wish me LUCk!!!!!!

Monday Bluesssss... 13/08/07

It's the start of another semester!!! So bored!! Looking forward to going back to school? That's a definite "NO!". I guess can't be helped ya!?

I have finished doing up the albums for the Taipei trip! Yeah!!! After devoting 2 days of full attention to doing the albums, they are finally done!!! Feel happy. Least I can concentrate on other stuff and not having to worry about the albums. = p

This semester is going to be really crazy! With 6 modules on hand and one is a killer project based, I guess I can kiss good-bye to having any time off of anything...

Had a short badminton session with Veron. I lost to her!! Well, that's expected!!

I have just officially declared Veron and Ren Feng as "损友123" chairman and vice chairman!! They cajoled into watching movie on a weekday night!? Ai yoyo!!! Bad company!!!

Went to watch Rush Hour 3. Er... Quite boring. I think the only interesting and funny part is the NG scenes at the end of the show. SO if anyone who is going to watch it, please stay till the end of the show.

Better zzZZZ soon. Night!!!!

Taipei, I LOVE uuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!

Ziwei's day... 11/08/07

I have been trying to figure out what's wrong with my Picasa... Obviously I am not making much progress. I am only able to post one photo at a time. Haiz... angry. = (

It's 2:39am and I am blogging. This is becoming like a regular thing for me. I hope to keep this going even when school starts.

Been doing up the Taipei album. Little progress... I hope to finish it tomorrow as school will be starting on MOnday. Promised Veron that I will show her the album once it is done. = P

Got to help Ren Feng collect her photos tomorrow and also prepare myself for lesson on Monday. In summary, so much to do, so little time!

Oh! Thank you Veron for the last min help on the camera cable. I was desperate then!

Met Ziwei for dinner. I think he is a really strong man. Be strong ya! Jia you!

Dunno what else to write. Better get back to the album!

Cheers!

Oh!! This song that you are hearing? It's from Veron!! She sang the song and I loved it!!

Day 07... 04/08/07

Day 07

Current feeling: sad. As I am writing this last entry, I am in the plane heading back to Singapore. My 7 day trip to Taipei has come to an end. Argh! If only it can be longer.

We visited 国父纪念馆earlier the day. = P We missed our breakfast as usual, but the cup noodles from the local 7-11 compensated for it. This was propelled by Chia Cheh as his wife told us we should at least try Taiwan cup noodles once since they are much more delicious than the ones in Singapore. And indeed they are!!!

By the time we reach the memorial hall, it was about 10 am. We toured around the area for a while and took some photos, well a lot of photos to be precise, before heading back to 西门町 to get Lorraine’s watch.

We managed to find the watch Lorraine is hunting for but it was more expensive than the one offered at 士林. As we were unwilling to settle for that price, we went to look for more watches shops in hopes of finding the same model but with a more affordable price.

And guess what, as we were crossing the road, we saw a group of cameramen standing outside Sony Ericsson shop. We knew at the instant it must be some celebrity or somewhat related to that. As we approached the shop to take a closer look, what we found really made our day and made our trip more worth while.

王力宏 is gracing that shop later as he is the spokesman for a particular model of the hand phone. And as I know Lorraine is her number one fan, er… or should I say as his “wife”, I know she was must be going nuts.

The crowd grew as王力宏arrived and went into the shop. We did our best to catch as many photos as possible and equipped with 2 cameras, we went on to snap as many as possible. We stayed on for about 45 min and as Lee Hom was about to leave, we caught 黑人. He was there to support王力宏too!! Kill 2 birds with a stone!! We tried to snap a picture or two of 黑人but he left in his own car shortly.

As we proceed further, we saw there Odie!? The former member of LA Boys was there at 西门町 today to promote his newest album too. But I guess luck wasn’t on his side as it started to drizzle.

Since Lorraine was determined to get her watch, we decided to go 士林 to try our luck. And it was this time that the drizzle grew into a downpour. We got a kinky idea and that was to wear a rain coat. Since we have never really gotten the chance to do so in Singapore, we thought no harm trying so in Taipei.

We got dressed in our coats and I guess we were kind of weird as the folks were staring at us. But this did not stop us as we walked in stride down the streets. We even took a photo too! Haha…

We decided to settle for KFC as the rain was way too big for us to proceed further.

After our meal, we continued our hunt and luckily, we managed to find the shop and Lorraine managed to get her watch.. Feel happy for her too as throughout the whole trip, I think she has not gotten much for herself as compared to me, with a record of 11 shirts and 3 pants. Wahaha~~~~~

The shop attendant knew we were there once. He was really kind and gave us many SHE goodies. = P That is a really nice gesture of him. Perhaps next time when I visit Taipei again, I will purchase a Seiko watch from his as he mentioned most Singaporeans do that.

We took a cab back to our hotel and quickly grabbed our bags and left for the airport.

Oh! We took the same cab that drove us back to hotel, to the airport. The driver was really chatty and I enjoyed my conversation with him so much! In the conversation, he mentioned we should visit 花莲4 times. Haha… Roger, point taken note. Next time we should visit花莲. 九芬, 六福村, 小人国…(the list can go on).

I think my trip has been rewarding and fruitful. Perhaps me and Lorraine seems to get tensed at times in the earlier part of the trip, still, I would not have enjoyed this much without her. Want to thank her for being accommodating towards me. Haha…All the little memories like walking in the middle of the night, sharing the same hot tub, seeing me drunk for the first time, getting drenched in the rain, seeing me half naked with just a boxer… Hee… I will remember all this sweet memories!!! ^ o ^

I am really looking forward to my next trip to Taiwan. I hope I get to do so in near future.

For now, it is back to Singapore and reality. *sob sob* I’ll burn the photos from the trip and keep as my life time memory!

Taiwan, I love you!!! --------.@

Normal day... 10/08/07

SO tired!!!

Tried to post some photos on my blog but realise that picasa doesn't seem to be working. Too exhausted to fix it. I will try again tomorrow.

Went for a swim @ Ang Mo Kio Swimming complex. Er... I was peeped?!!?! Yes, ridiculous as it may sound but ya! *faint*

I finally did my specs. Really needed one.

Had lan game with Wj and michelle. Think it's time I stop playing lan. Haha... It's expensive!!

Finally got the photos developed. Think I will work on them tomorrow.

Too beat for that now.
Sleep!!! zzZZZ............

But before that, I MISS TAIWAN...

Day 06... 03/08/07

Day 06

It is the last night that we get to spend in Taipei. I am already feeling the sadness that starts to fill me from within. *sob sob*

As planned, we headed to 剑谭again(for the 4th time I think) to take a bus to 阳明山. It was quite a long ride up the mountain and we had to stand since we were one of the last few passengers to board.

Once we were there, we took the shuttle bus up further into the mountain. We alighted at some place which offers a great view of the whole and Taipei city. We took many photos before deciding to go to some bookstore. We were walking and walking when we realized we had walked way too far from the bus stop and decided to trace back our path. In a spur of the moment, we decided to hitch hike.

We failed on the first attempt but our second one, succeeded! A van stopped and these 2 ladies decided to give us a ride. What happened next was way out of our imaginaries! One of the ladies offered to bring us to eat at some shop up at the mountain and without second thought, we grabbed the offer immediately!!

We had a healthy meal at the shop and had a great chat with the 2 ladies. They are called 徐阿姨 and刘阿姨. They look way much younger than their original ages. I think it has to do with the food that they eat. = p

We toured around for a while before they drove us to the 捷运 station to head for our next stop. Along the way, we saw many beautiful scenes from the top of the 阳明山. Perhaps next time I should visit the hot springs there too!

After a 15 min ride downhill, we finally reached the station. As the ladies told us, we decided to try go to 新殿 to visit the bridge and also to ride the “swan”. The ride there was brief and we took a nap along the way.

Upon arrival, we rushed to ride on the “swan” where we took even more photos. And not forgetting photos of the bridge too!!

Things happened so fast… We immediately rushed back to our hotel, bathed and took a cab to 西门町 to cut our hair. It cost NT$499, about SGD$25, to wash and cut my hair and also treatment. I think it was worth it. Well, at least for now. = )

Rain didn’t manage to dampen our mood as we proceeded to meet Lorraine's friend, Chia Cheh.

We went for Shabu Shabu before heading to his house for a short visit. Oh! Did I say his wife, Carol, is very friendly? She talked a lot and made us feel so welcomed. Their house is so big! It is like a pent house in Singapore! It is actually 2 houses with the separating wall removed to create extra space.
After a chat with Chia Cheh, I realized he is matured and truly a family man. I cannot believe that he used to be playful during his younger days. I guess marriage changes one’s views and priorities.

Today has been without question the best day of my stay in Taipei!

I can’t help feeling sad that we are leaving for Singapore tomorrow. = (
I would love to visit this beautiful country again… Guess I better start packing my stuff. Ciao!

National Day!!! 09/08/07

Today is our Nation's 42th birthday!!

"Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to Singapore,
Happy birthday to YOU!!!"

My day started really late. I slept all the way to about 1 plus in the afternoon. After I got awoke, I went online to check to see if the post office is opened since today is a public holiday. Learnt that it is not opened so I quickly smsed my buyer that I will only send him the stuff tomorrow. He agreeded and I think he is a reall easy going guy. = P

Was online all along before I went to collect my photos @ Jurong point. Haha... Before that, Susie called again. Great to hear that she is going to Taipei on the coming 16 on a 5 day 4 night visit. She asked if I would like to join her!! Er... considering that we only talked in the phone twice and have never met up before, I think she must be joking. Hee...

I shared with her a few pointers from my trip. Man... On a scale of 1 to 100, my "miss" for Taipei would be 101!!!
I wish her luck on her trip!

After collecting my photos @ Jurong Point, I went back to my house area to collect my Taiwan photos instead. Didn't realise that the shop is closed. I was told it would be opened. Well, wasted my trip. = ( And I wasted someone's trip too. It wasn't on intention k!
Haha...

Went to watch fireworks. The crowd was crazy!!! Witnessed something that caught my attention. I saw this family with a maid. The couple was walking way infront leaving the poor maid to push the pram through the impassable crowd. I kind of pity the maid and I can see that she is clearly unhappy with her chore at hand.

The fireworks made up for the waiting and having to shove my way to a nice spot. It was never as good as the year I was involved in NDP myself when I was still in army where the fireworks was just ahead of me, having zero obstruction what so ever.
Too bad I didn't have a camera then. Still, memories stay with one forever, just like the Taipei trip... Oops! Here it goes again. Haiz...

Plan for tomorrow:
1. Visit to post office
2. Collect photos
3. Swim
4. Settle TBC bank account
5. Meet Wj for dinner + pass him his gifts
6. Make specs
7. Do up the trip album

In summary, busy!!!

Day 05... 02/08/07

= Day 05

I was so tipsy that I didn’t even write this entry after I got back to hotel yesterday. I am writing it now, on that 6th day. Haha…

Let me recall what we did on the day before. Oh, we went to 北头 for 温泉!

It was a funny experience. I have never been to a hot spring before. At first, it was quite funny but after a while, I got used to it and found myself relaxing under the heat from the hot spring. It was really hot. I was sweating as I was submerged in the water.

Hot spring didn’t take too long. We had our share of “煲汤” before having our tea break at the hotel. After the food, we went on to wait for the shuttle bus that brings us to the 捷运station. However, we realized we got the timing wrong and we have to wait another 45 min should we choose to take the ride.

On second thought, we decided to take a gamble and try to walk our way down. Along the way, we happen to meet this group of 3 students who so happen to be walking towards the station’s direction. They offered to bring us there. Without hesitation, we followed them.

It was interesting to hear what they talked about. Pretty much the same as what secondary students talk about. After this incident, I truly believe that Taiwanese are really friendly and accommodating.

We reached the station in less than 15 min. This helped us to save about one hour of extra time as compared to choosing to wait for the shuttle bus.

Our next stop: 淡水! Heard so much from the folks who visited Taipei that 淡水 is a place that one must visit. And indeed it is! The place is nice. It offers a great view to the horizon. We spent about 2 hours at the place and much of it was dedicated to caricature drawings. We actually did 4 in a row!! Haha…

Our visit to 淡水 ended within 3 to 4 hours before we took train to 剑谭 and headed to 士林 for the second time. I did some last minute shopping again and found myself with one new Bermudas. I even took a photo with the shop assistant who attended me. And, she’s pretty! Hee…

We took a cab home and decided to do a quick wash-up and head for Tu(night club) in Taipei. It was expensive! A guy would cost NT$500 and a lady for NT$100. After some discussion, we
decided to share the cost evenly. = P

The night club was really loud! I guess it is because it is my first so I am not used to it. All I did was to drink. Since I paid such a hefty sum of money, I guess the only way to make up for it is to drink to my fill. I think I must have gotten a little tipsy after the 3rd glass that I thought it was time to stop.

After our brief encounter with TU, we headed to 诚评 Bookshop. Can’t believe I managed to make it there alive. I think our stay there was quite short as we grabbed some books and headed back to hotel and before long, I was zzZZ… clearly zonked!

Steamboat @ Veron's... 08/08/07

Went for a swim earlier in the day. Realised I cannot swim much. That's bad news!!! I only did about 10 laps and I think my strokes are getting from bad to worst. = ( I better start swimming regularly.

Had steamboat at Veron's place. I think I didn't eat much. I ended up watching some old chinese movie instead. Haha... The dinner was a great way to get everyone back.

After dinner, we went on to KTV. We tried the KBOX at KBOX plaza instead of the one that we ususally visit. This place is much better, better facilities and most of all, toilets! We had our share of songs and I think we enjoyed ourselves. Oh! I think Claire can sing very well too!!

During my Taipei trip, I bought some pins back to Singapore to sell. Haha... Guess what, I have managed to break even! I just received my first order yesterday and the payment has been made. I will be posting it tomorrow as the post office is closed on public holidays. Honestly, I didn't earn from this sales but I feel happy. It was a spur of the monent that time when I was in Taipei. Happy!

Hee... I have received the post card that I sent when I was at Taipei 101. Haha... Will be getting my Taiwan photos later. Can't wait to start doing the album as I am going to start school soon. = (

By the way, Happy National Day to all!

Cheers!

Day 04... 01/08/07

Day 04

Today has been another “happening” day!

We missed breakfast because we woke up too late but it was okay as we grabbed some bread instead. Well, at least this is a change in the breakfast that we eat everyday. = p

We went straight to chiang kai shek memorial centre. It was a great place and it is not hard to see the admiration and respect that Taiwanese have for his founder of Taiwan. In the same area, there are musical centre. The buildings are really awesome and they all have a distinctive touch of Chinese origins.

We took our time to explore the memorial hall before we went on to eat some nice Chinese cuisine at 金鸡园. The food was okay and I think the best is the xiao long bao. We spent about NT$560. It is really affordable considering the amount of food we ordered. = p

We then took a bus to Taipei 101. I didn’t know it is the tallest building in the world! I just know it is one of the tallest but not the tallest. Still, it was definitely a pleasant surprise. On top of that, there is also the world’s fastest life. It is able to bring one from 5th floor to the 89th floor in just 39 seconds!!! It was definitely the highlight of today’s exploration.

Te observation deck was packed with people. We did a bit of photo taking and went on to buy souvenirs from the souvenir shop. I bought some post cards and a pen. Hee… A little guilty though.

Didn’t know I can actually post the postcards till I saw someone writing on them. Without a second thought, I decided to post mine to MYSELF! Haha… Ya! Post it to myself. I think it will be very memorable and whenever I see the post card, I will think about the time when I was on Taipei 101 observatory deck. = p

We had KFC for dinner before heading back to hotel. We changed and before long, we were walking to 钱柜 to sing KTV! I almost fainted when I saw the room. It is freaking big! It can sit more than 15 people. And most of all, the room comes along with a toilet too!! It is really a great experience and can’t help thinking that those in Singapore are nothing compared to the ones in Taiwan.

On the whole, today has been another fruitful day and I am looking to tomorrow’s. We will be going 北头 tomorrow before heading to 淡水for dinner. I really cannot wait.

Veron's Day... 07/08/07

Today, has been another boring day. I really miss Taiwan., Taipei so much!!! I wanna go back!!!!

Nothing interesting happened today. I went for my tuition at Joshua's place. He was really obedient today after I promised him a present if he does his work diligently. And as expected, he put on his best behaviour! Haha... I got him a custom made key chain that bears his name on it. Think he doesn't know what to do with it but I can tell he feels happy to have it. By the way, that keychain isn't cheap either! I made one for myself! Haiz... It is about Taiwan trip again... Help me!!! I miss Taiwan so so much!!!

After my tuition, I went on the Yi jing's place to help her move into her hostel at NIE. It didn't take long to pack her stuff into my car. The ride to NIE was pretty fast. Once we reached, we got straight to clearing her room. With 3 people, Veron, Ren Feng and myself, the room was cleaned in a record time of just half an hour! I even have time to take a short nap before I found a sharp pain on my left leg, courtesy of Veron!!!!

Dinner was on Veron and I mad esure I had my fill! Haha...

After sending everyone back, it was already 12plus before I reach my own house.

I am going to do up an album for my trip to Taipei. I hope to get it done befor emy school starts and this means I have only a few more days to work on it. I better start choosing the pictures now!

Looking forward to tomorrow's steamboat at Veron's place.

Better go bathe! Ciao!
