taipei trip was fun... and the return trip was an adventure of a lifetime...
arrived on the 11th Dec... at around 6.30pm...
took the bus that would bring me to the hotel... and the whole journey took me around 2 hours cuz of the traffic.... made me super hungry cuz din have anything to eat since the morning 10 am... poor him was also very hungry... and he had been waiting for me in the hotel since 3 pm...
cuz it was a weekday.... and it was already late... we din bother to go anywhere far... actually wanted to eat 阿中面线... but could not find the store at 西門丁... lolx... so we settled for TGI Fridays...
had western food... not bad... yummy.... =) very filling too... price was reasonable.... considering for a 3 course meal... after which.... went back to the hotel for the nite...
12th Dec
woke up and went out around 10 am... first went to 新光三越百貨 (Shin Kong Mitsukoshi) nothing much to shop one... dunno wat the craze is all about....
got a bit upset that we could get nothing... so we went to a place that was introduced by his friend... 美麗華百樂園 at first when we were on the bus... we were thinking to ourselves.... is this a shopping centre or a entertainment park? this place might not ring a bell when told the name... but when u see this...start to remember anything...? the place in 換換愛 Why Why Love =)
the ferris wheel too big to take a picture... so posed with the mascot... lolx... the place is bigger then 新光三越 as it has 2 buildings that are linked tgt... erm... but the stuffs... nothing much either.... shopping centre quality and pricing...
was bored with shopping so we caught a movie at their IMAX theatre... we watched 30 days of night... quite a good show... vampires are really clever... thought at first the show will be another same old zombie movie... but after watching it.... it happens not to be true... the last part was cool.... catch the show... it is worth it.... after that... went to 士林夜市 where i finally ate the 超大雞排 it was really huge... bigger den wat we get in sg... take a look at it... can't believe it eh.... den we continued on to eat the delicacies of shilin.... 蛤阿煎, 魯肉飯, 雪花冰 etc... i had the 養樂多 flavoured 雪花冰... guess right? vitagen flavoured... it was yummy... din managed to take pics... too hungry... haha... after dat... went back to the hotel.... on the way back from ximending to the hotel... we found our 阿忠面線... so we packed 2 bowls back to the hotel... yummy... had it for supper.... =)
13th Dec

first shopped around ximending area.... he bought quite a bit of stuff.... but me nothing... den when it got later in the afternoon... we went to 五分鋪it was a wholesaler market.... loads of stuff... very nice clothes.... but then all for the winter season... buy also cannot wear.... sianz.... so din get much... cuz of its vast size.... we spent quite a bit of time there...
got hungry and ate 豆花... he had the peanut one and i had the 粉圓 one which are pearls... continued shopping after dat.... until we could walk no more... legs were so 酸... so we went to the nearby 小吃店...

14th Dec
went to 太平洋 SOGOthe place was huge.... and the thing was "Atas" class... wanted to get a jacket.... but den it was stained.... so din get it in the end... after dat... went back to ximending and caught another movie....
I am Legend...
the show is not as nice as the trailer shows la... not interesting one.... alot of redundent time spent showing his daily routine.... sianz..... not worth it.....
15th Dec
lazed around in the hotel till it was time to check out....
den he left to take the coach back to dou liu....
sobx.... not going to be able to see him until chinese new year...
so i went to walk around ximending area to look for somewhere to do my nails...
found it... and did it... den went to grab something to eat before going to take my transport to the airport...
reached the airport and proceeded to the boarding gate for my flight bound back at 6.40pm....
however, there was an announcement at first that the flight was delayed due to ground handling problems.... and 15 mins after the first announcement.... another announcement was made saying that the flight was cancelled....
upon hearing this.... i was shocked.... and nearly teared....
the next 2 hours was spent waiting for the airport staff to arrange for transport and accommodation for the passengers....
we had to go thru immigration again and had a coach ferry us to the transit hotel....
lucky thing the hotel was of above average standard.... had a nite's rest....
the next morning.... the coach back to the airport was at 10 am
