For Missy Phua Chu Kang... The new improved Boots!!
And the Blue one for my metrosexual baobei!!!
Hands up!! U are caught!!!
When I'm 64
Hahaha... It's so fun shopping at Dasio!!! Everything is just $2!!! And they sell all kinds of stuffs!! My god! From fish nets to porcelain bowls to cosmetics to even spectacles!! And for your info, my mom loves the biscuits from Dasio...
Note: It's a very nice place to bring your date there yah!
This is us, still in Singapore's Changi Airport... However, u can't help to notice that even before boarding the plane we were already holding shopping bags...
Well, that's because we are those clever chaps who shop inside the airport to avoid the 5% GST... Ha! And guess what I got for myself...
Ta-Dah!!!
The Canon Ixus 55!!
It has such a HUGE screen it makes a Liliputian look huge!!
Okay la, maybe I have exaggerate a little too much... But u guys know what I mean la! Ha!
So, with my new baby, off to Taipei we went!! :D
By the time we arrived Taipei was about 5-6pm... But when we looked out the bus while on our way to the hotel, it looked like it was 8pm in Singapore!!!
That's because in winter, it has a shorter day-time.
Though it's a general fact, we still acted like some "sua-ku" tropical islanders who goes gugu-gaga about the early nightsky! :D
When we stepped out of our bus, a 9 degree celcius winter night welcomed us! The wind were SO strong and cold that all of us were jumping around! Ha! We were told that the week we were in Taipei was forecast to be the coldest week of all!
Yah right, thanks man!
And all we brought were just a few t-shirts and one jacket! We all thought the weather was going to be about 18-20 degree celcius! Oh gosh!!
So in order to curb our coldness and hunger, the very first meal we had in Taipei is the infamous "Chongqing" Steamboat...
Look at the food!!!!!!!
Oh my God!! I'm fainting already!! And the "Ma-La" soup base is really SHIOK for that kind of weather... However, I cannot imagine eating the same thing in Singapore with the heat...
It was so good that we went for second steamboat session on our third night... And this second shop was better than the first because it was eat-all-you-can buffet style!! Oh gosh, I'm in heaven!
And there's this particular food the Taiwanese have in their steamboat, which is called "gong-wan" which is actually a meat-ball... But what's so special about this meat ball is that firstly, it was bigger than the normal ones we ate in Singapore...
But most importantly about it is that it is DAMN bouncy!! For those who watched Stephen Chow's "shi shen" will know what a "pissing-ball" is...
And I tell you!! THIS IS IT!!!
The juice in the meatball just burst into your mouth when you bite it... Oh gosh!! My saliva is already dripping just by thinking back...
Sigh...
Too bad I was so engross in enjoying it that I forgot to take pictures of it for you guys! Ha.. Sorry!
The following days in Taipei were spent shopping and eating...
But shopping weren't that good since everywhere was selling winter stuffs... All I enjoyed most was eating...
We were so good at it that there's one of the days, we actually had around 5 meals straight with less than half an hour in between each meal... :D
By the time we were at the 3rd restaurant, my cousins were actually asking if we were eating AGAIN! Ha... But nothing beats eating good food man!
So the rest of the trips will be seen from the photos I've uploaded...
P.S.: U might notice that I wore the same jacket throughout the whole trip except for the last picture... Well, that's because I only brought that jacket... But for your info, I DID change clothes everyday k... It's just that it's under the jacket...
So please DO NOT get the wrong idea... Thanks! :D

On a ferris-wheel... The cousin sitting beside my bro was so scared that she almost broke into tears... Ha!!
We were one of the few crazy ones who had ice desserts in the open under such bloody weather!! But look at these man! Tell me who can resist such temptations...
And finally home sweet home after 6 days of eating, shopping and laughing!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
So here I am, finally back to Singapore where I can enjoy wearing my short skirt without worrying the weather...
And with my new cam... I start my slacking days again...
Continuing with the activities I mentioned above plus a few other activities such as meeting up with friends whom I've not met since my last hols and of course my usual activity...
Clubbing!!
Went to check out my old hunt, Zouk's Mambo night with Guo & Lili, and had a very good time there!!
And for those who still doesn't know about it... Ministry Of Sound had just landed in this hot tropical island!!!
Went to check it out at its opening weekend... But the queue was so bloody long! However, we still manage to get in to check out the whole place out...
IT IS SO HUGE!!!!
There's So many dancefloors and rooms of a different themes...
And my personal favourite room...
PURE
It's a room that is SO white that it makes you feel like you are in heaven! Filled with beautiful crystal chandeliers, Huge beanbags and most importantly...
Round cushioned "cubicle" for you to drink, or even danced in it!!
Imagine clubbing with your feet on cushion...
Isn't it heaven!!
