Now I realized juz how kia-si my mum can be. She’s been too excited tt she couldn’t slp de whole nite until 4am struck. Then she woke me up, n kept hurrying me. I told her it’s perfectly fine to leave @ 5am, but she tot it wud be too late, so shld leave @ 4.45am. n by de time we reached de airport, It’s 5.20am. we’re de 1st to arrive! Hahaha. De gals were really lyk 小姐, very dilly-dally in everything. N alwaz kept us waiting. Well, will expect more of tis to come…

@ ard 12.25pm when we reached Taiwan, it’s been drizzling de whole day. N our tour guide changed our schedule bcoz of tt. So instead of supposedly free-n-easy on de 1st day, we went to Taipei 101. wah… but din get to c how tall de bldg is, nor even de design. All we knew was it’s currently de tallest bldg, but china is gonna be bldg a 102 soon. N de architect 4 101 din get any prize, coz de design is simply dull. It’s based on Chinese feng-shui in order not to let de bldg fall bcoz of earthquake n 4 de co. to prosper. We were oni inside de bldg, n it’s lyk any s’pore shopping mall. Besides, there’s full of Chinese over there, n it really gives de s’pore feeling. Coz it’s oredi 2pm, n everyone was hungry, so we order sth fr de foodcourt to makan.

When we got out n gathered, we then oni gotta learn fr de tour guide tt we’re gg to shihlin night mkt! my goodness! Y dun tell us earlier so tt we wun be eating anything in Taipei 101? But aniwae, we’ve decided to each order 1 stuff n we’ll share so as get to try shihlin’s delicacy. N indeed, we gotta tried 大饼包小饼 (fried biscuit been crushed n wrapped w/ soft prata), 大肠包小肠 (sausage wrapped in glutinous rice), 官财板 (a thick slice of bread, emptied within n topped w/ other ingredients), 蚝煎 (taiwanese type is sweet), 大炸鸡, 青蛙下蛋 (lyk bubble tea), juz to name a few.

Aft tt, we were led to our hotel, which was near 西门町. So having so much free time @ nite, we decided to go n roam ard there. It’s one of de busiest places there coz there’s many shops ard, but de stuff there were ex. Later, we passed by a shop called 杂志疯, it’s 5 stories high, de 1st 2 floors being full of mag fr mainly Taiwan, japan, n u.s., then de 3rd n 4th floors full of… MANGA! WAH… n de 5th storey was a gift shop w/ manga pics. So happy tt I feel recharged.

Wat lies ahead of us 4 tmr? Hmm… shall wait n c…
