taipei troopers

so here i am back in boring bland blah -u guessed it- Singapore..
yup. its only after coming back that i really am beginning to miss the place i went to twice in the span of 6 months..
to be honest, i really wasnt expecting much or overly excited bt the trip but BOYY, Taiwan u definately churned out some awesome surprises that managed to lift my spirits and most importantly of course, satisfy the shopaholic in me. Man, u can always rely on retail therapy to put that zing in your step and smile on ur face.am i not right girls?haha..and the bunch i went with- what else can i ask for?like seriously...Thanks darls for the kickass time we had!
So whatever's next on the cards- i am ON BOARD.so save me a seat..haha!:)
For now, i shall leave you with snippets of the trip starting with

DAY 1. Goodbye sg.Hello taipei.

View from the clouds

DAY 2. Yang Ming Shan

Ximen was our home for 10 days. definately wise to get ourselves aquainted w it..

so to get to our destination, we first took the jie yun then the xiao ba up the mountains..

and finally, this was what awaited-

I definately dressed the part. tribal chief was what they called me.To put it simply, i think i look like a 'sua theng' lang.

And my camara decided to fail me at this point, so that's pretty much all i have of yangmimgshan, which is pathethic. But more pics of that day ll be up in due time..and boy,we definately had a blast up there amongst the clouds aye?

DAY 3. Campo flea, taipei 101, eslite bookstore

Lunch courtesy of the lovely Luyi, our new friend whom we got to know through her blog-Some Required. Thanks a mil for the warm hospitality!

the first few days we were there, the weather was definately not in our favour,at least for me it was not, whom they call the "the sunshine girl"

View from the top is always great

but it also reminds you of how vulnerable n insignificant u actually are

so i guess a lil love's always good...........

singapore sd consider having this man..its a bookstore that occupies the entire building and operates 24 hours. way cool.....

I shall leave it at this for now.

Stay tuned for more!

the golden dogssss

Never meant any harm

i like this song!


Construction worker

but i like this video better!

confessions of pain

yup my bro came back w several vcds and we just finished watching Confessions of Pain. i have to admit i watched it for the sake of seeing shu qi but to my dismay, she appeared less than 10 times?sad indeed.. but it doesnt matter cos i thought the plot of pretty darn good and i was kept on my toes throughout..it was also pretty thought provoking and stimulating i must say. watchin such detective/suspense movies for a change does indeed give my pretty much sluggish mind a much needed boost..haha!so catch it if you havent!
i sd perhaps catch infernal affairs too since they were saying they re pretty similer.....
and there's Factory Girl too!wooo gonna watch that soon..

Now for MY confessions of pain.,
i m always caught in sticky situations at the most untimeliest and unlikiest of times-
just when i am about to leave on vacation,
my wisdom tooth acts up, my period plays mind games w me(haha i dunno how else to express it), and i sorta haf a flu and sense the attack of nasty viruses headed my way....

So let me just keep my fingers crossed that nothing major happens from now till the 26th for now....

mother's day affair

So e family headed out for m's day dinner on sat and i must say it provided some quality get-together time that's definately been missin for a while now and...it was all good...

mummy dearest

this was the first and the best dish

with the three monkeys

TAKE 1

TAKE 2

TAKE 3

TAKE 4

PERFECT!

just look at that face.haha

pardon us.haha

And after dinner we adjourned to the metz for a look-around and starbucks for some drinks..

very proud of his new hairdo there...by me of course.haha

and along the way,we saw this car which stopped everyone in their tracks.

Nothing beats spendin some time w the family.

and with mine.......it never fails to surprise:)
