taipei, day 3 (part 2)
Sorry for the interruped departure of the previous post on the taiwan trip. had to run because we were already very very late. talking about Martyrs Shrine (忠烈祠), there wasn’t really much to see but we were kinda lucky that we arrived at the time where the guards where changing their shifts, so there was an elaborate ceremony with the guards spinning and throwing their rifles. i didnt manage to take any pictures of the pretty rifles throwing because there were too many people crowding about the perimeter where the crowd control guy was standing, and the other time they performed near the indoor place, we werent even allowed to…

taipei, day 3 (part 1)
everyday, the most dreaded thing is to pull ourselves outta the bed. the greedy us packed too many places to go and things to do and thus, cutting down on the sleep. day 3 is one of the most adventurous day also. breakfast consisted of 香香鸡, a chicken snack that jen has bugged me to try ever since she knew that i was heading to taiwan. personally, it wasn’t too fantastic for me, with too many little bones in the pieces i ate.. and i was a little sick of the 五香粉 that was literally sprinkled on EVERYTHING that u eat in taiwan. the first stop for the day was…

taipei, day 2 (part 2)
taipei 101. we were so so glad when we finally reached! our exhilaration when we finally made it! i think i’m a shopaholic. because, instead of checking the night scenery out, i was checking out nine west, gucci, LV and tiffany and co. and the rest of the branded stores first. ha! got sale eh! but, i am so proud that i walked out with nothing. ok, except 9west. i bought 2 pairs of heels. ha. that’s me trying on a whole lot of shoes in nine west and der with the wah-lau-i’m-on-leave-and-on-holiday-and-yet-i-am-in-a-shoe-store-checking-out-shoes look. happy girl with nine west bag, our tickets to the top riding the super fast lift……

taipei, day 2 (part 1)
day 2! woke up bright and early… ok, not very early.. abt 10am? the thing about free and easy is that u have the tendency to just sleep in and NOT do anything! check out the huge bottle of yakult-like apple flavoured drink. not too bad! very interesting and jen mentioned it to me so many times that i JUST HAD TO TRY. breakfast was the revolutionary ah zong mian xian in ximending. the thing about taiwan is that you can squat, kneel, sit on the street and eat the mian xian and no one will think you are crazy. i kinda like the picture of der squatting right in…

day 1, taipei
the day in taipei started kinda late since we couldnt get the early morning flight. took the flight at noon and i was totally cranky with all the rushing and not being able to get motion sickness pills before i headed off to the airport.. when we landed in taipei, we met andy! he was taking over our flight and heading back to sing! see the 2 of them being separated by a glass panel? people walking pass would think we were nuts, trying to communicate.. we stayed in paradise hotel, an old hotel located a street away from ximending. the room was ok, nothing fantastic. the only grouse i…

B-A-N-A-N-A boat!
if anyone could recall me blogging about going on a banana boat while at a offsite brainstorming session… i actually have some pictures to show! my colleague actually took some pictures of us while we were swinging on the boat.. i know the pictures are tiny.. can check out my flickr for the bigger versions. if you can see the tiny dots, i am always in the front seat. and if u could see, towards the end, the speedboat was overcrowding because everyone else is on it.. only jen & me left on the banana. awwwwww. i suddenly feel like i need some sun and sea, and a good book…

23-24 july 08
the off site meeting 2 weeks ago. i had been wanting to post all the pictures i have taken using jen’s cammie. i really liked that place a lot, the tranquility, the splashes of blue everywhere, the sea breezes. totally relaxed my mind. ok. definitely not relaxing when during the brainstorming session. but lunch and dinner was good. on the second day, 6 of us from the entire team went on a banana boat! i’m a little amazed that not many people sat on the banana boat before! jen’s quite funny.. she amused me with the following conversation.. c: i didnt bring any toiletries for bathing.. did you? j: no.…

the blading trio
just some pics of us gearing up.. ok. i looked the least glam. you know what that tells you? the “photographer” aint good! took such an unglam picture of me while i took so nice pictures of the other 2. hahha. i shall not reveal who that is. 😛 didn’t really shoot any pictures while we were on the wheels because i had nothing in my pocket. it was kinda fun since it’s been a really long time since i last bladed. passing through the cable ski “pond”, it also reminded me of the days where i frequently went wake boarding. hmmm.. i miss those days. life these days ain’t…

the virgin singapore flyer experience
well, the verdict is that i would not pay to go up the flyer again! being the hyperactive person that i am.. being trapped in a capsule like that for 40 mins is sheer torture. all it takes was 10 mins for all the excitement to die down, and start feeling claustrophobic. there weren’t enough seats for the 25 person in the capsule.. and standing around was very tiring without anything to do! anyway, i still took a lot of pictures since that’s the only form of entertain that i had. and this had to be my favourite picture taken on the flyer…
