Double Post

Everything came all of a sudden, it seems that I have a change of luck. I didn't thought that I would even accept the offer and agreed to the post that was a little awkward to me. Well, it was a post that I would never thought that I'd even take.

They said that I need a little change of luck by going somewhere else. Immediately after the trip, I found this lying in my mailbox and immediately I was thinking whether I should go for it. Half heartedly, I was still considering even while I replied the mail and click send.

The next day, I've received an unknown phone call and thought that it was just someone else dialing the wrong number. I've ignored it. The 2nd day, the same number called again in the afternoon when I was on my way to KL. And this time, I knew it was from them.

I answered the call and the lady asked me for an interview. LoL! this is my 2nd interview after 4 months of searching. I didn't feel any nervous thou, but I'm all prepared from the last interview I went. My interview was just the next day after she got hold of me.

I went with Angel, leaving me there for it. The parking there was hard. A good space? If you're lucky. So I had a long interview with the lady who called me, 1stly introducing myself and the places I've worked before, then she started telling me about the company.

The next thing I knew, she was asking me when I could start working. Afraid that I might lose it again, I told her I'll be able to start on the next week onwards. And now, I'm working in a new environment but the job scope, its still familiar to me. I can handle it that but the thing is, I had a 2nd post with I was unfamiliar, Marketing Assistant. What am I suppose to do?

Its been the 2nd week now and I'm starting to get close with my colleagues. So far, I haven't touch anything on marketing. Cross Fingers! Wish me good luck + good luck!

台湾六日游(六)

不知不觉已经是台湾的最后一天,有点儿依依不舍的感觉,不舍得台湾的美食,也不舍得台湾的疯狂购物的痛快感觉。前天的晚上,我们已经把所有被我们买下的衣服鞋子等等等等,都给装进了行李箱。老公与我的行李,到台湾的时候只有一个,而且还剩有很多空间,回来时,却多了一个背包和一个提袋,还装得满满的。

为了在台湾享受最后一次的鲁肉饭与走最后一次西门町,我们不惜一切一大早就爬起身,走了最后一趟。冲冲忙忙地,把最后想买的,最后的台币也用得七七八八。中午十二点,退了房间,把行李箱都放进小货车,真的是满载而归。

一路从饭店到桃园机场,经过了城市,也经过了海边。风还是依然吹得猛,海浪一波接着一波不停的打。四十分钟的路程,到了桃园机场,是时候担心行李箱咯!会不会超重?结果大家都白担心了。上了飞机的那一刻,又想起了当时来的时候,又要开始破费咯!

Taiwan 6 Days Trip (6)

Time is really passing fast, without realize, its been 6 days since we've got here. The night before, we were just packing all the stuff we've bought. Hubby and I had only 1 luggage and after packing, we had an extra of a bag pack and a hand carry bag and each od them was full of the stuff we bought.

For our last meal and last shopping in Taiwan, we got up early and had our last walk, rushing for the last things that we wanted it home, using up most of our cash. 12pm in the afternoon, we checked out from the hotel. Our luggage had fill the back of the van, we're going back with so much of things and feelings.

All the way from the hotel to the airport, we past the city, we past the beach. The wind is still blowing furiously, it made the wave so strong and rushing on the coast. 40 minutes of journey, we got to the airport and now its time to be worried of the weight of our luggage. Would they be over weight? We had worried for nothing. The moment I got on the plane, flashbacks came to my mind on the 1st day we were on board, its time to spend again!

台湾六日游(五)

台湾的第五天,风也吹得冷了些,穿在身上的衣服也一天比一天多。为了买些台湾特产的宜蘭饼,我们又一次搭地铁来到了忠孝东路台北太平洋的Sogo。 买饼之前在附近逛一逛,想看看附近是否有东西看或买的,结果是没有什么东西值得买的,也只好调头走回去买宜蘭病咯!

扮酷!

买了宜蘭饼,又回到了西门町,买地瓜球去咯!这时的风吹得更凶,更猛,两个大男人结果忍不住就到附近的店面,各买了件外套,即刻就穿在身上。一个蝙蝠侠,一个骷髅人,两个好像穿得有点儿显眼。哈哈!我们还特意多拍了几张照片,好当作留念。毕竟马来西亚的天气,又有什么必要穿着外套呢?

一个蝙蝠侠,一个骷髅人

到了傍晚,也是该吃晚餐的时间了。这一次,我们搭了地铁来到了景美,吃了出名的上海生煎包,也在附近买了盐酥鸡和一些甜点,吃饱了就在附近的商店走走。之后,我们又再次回到了饶河夜市,又在一次的疯狂购物,也在回饭店之前,吃了出名的牛肉面。但是不能吃牛肉的我,就吃了碗贡丸汤。回到饭店,就是该收拾的时间咯!

Taiwan 6 Days Trip (5)

5th day in Taiwan, the wind was even stronger than the previous days, our clothes too had gotten thicker as it goes. We wanted to get some Taiwan's famous biscuit, so we've took the MRT again to go to Zhongsiao East Road. Before getting the biscuits, we walked around the street to see if there's anything else to buy. We found nothing and so we've went back to the mall for the biscuits.

After buying, we got back to Ximending and bought some junks to chew. Haha! The wind was so much furious this time and the 2 big guys couldn't stand the cold and had went to a nearby shop to get a jacket on. One of them was wearing a batman image jacket and the other a skeleton, both of them look a little awkward than usual. Haha! We've also have took a few more picture and keep as a memory. After all, the weather in Malaysia, we wouldn't need such clothes.

In the evening, ts time for dinner again. This time, we went to Jingmei, ate the famous Shanghai Paos, Salted Fried Chicken and also soem desserts. After eating, we went back to Raohe Night Market for a shopping madness. Before returning to our hotel, we sat down for a beef mee. But for me, I had a Pork Soup instead. Getting back to the hotel, its time to pack up.

台湾六日游(四)

又一天美丽的早上,当天也是初十五,拜拜的日子。吃过了早餐,我们又开始了我们的路程,通往地铁站的时候,竟然碰见了个样子满可爱的女歌星。好久都没有更新歌曲的我,当然就不认识她咯!既然都碰见了,哈哈。。。 当然就拍了照片啊!我人矮了些,拍的不是被人挡,就是被摇晃了!气死我!结果是老公帮忙拍!哈哈。。。

早餐

看见歌星咯

拍完之后,我们就往地铁站走去了,目的地就是龙山寺。十五的中午,龙山寺不但挤满了人,还挤满了祭品。本来自己也想说去拜一拜,求个签,但是见了那些人手上拿着香还要你挤我推,我宁愿在一旁参观拍照,让老公去拜就好了。

烧香拜佛

好多水果

这样一等,也不知道等了多久,也不知道他们走到哪儿了。在神庙里,台湾的人还是有次序的,和夜市里的次序一样,右边进,左边出。结果为了找他们,又要在庙里面走一圈才把他们找到了。

拜拜完毕,我们就到地下街去走走。地下街的人潮不至于夜市多,但是还是有东西可以看,也有的买。没有想到,这里可以找到很多便宜的衣服与鞋子,杂志和各式各样的动画物品,其中的有One Piece, 三妹的最爱。本来想买一些回家,但是价格贵了些,结果就放弃了。纯粹就只是拍个照留念咯!哈哈。。。

One Piece wanted!

One Piece flag

傍晚时分,我们又回到了西门町,在饭店休息。好久不见的表妹今天约了我们一起吃饭,刚放工的她直接就往我们就住的饭店。在饭店见了面以后,我们又再次往西门町走,也不晓得该吃什么。走了一小段路,想起了今早在派传单的吉祥物,最后就选择了该餐厅。 当天的晚餐就在便所主体餐厅,有趣!

肚子痛,刚好有马桶!

Taiwan 6 Days Trip (4)

Another beautiful morning, it was also the 15th in the lunar year. After our breakfast, we started our journey again, towards the MRT station, we've coincidentally bump into a cute Taiwanese singer. Its been sometime since the last I've updated songs and singers, I didn't know her. Since I've bump into her, why not just take a few photos for memory? I'm a little too short to take those photos, the photos I took, its always blocked by someone or its blur of shakiness. In the end, Hubby helped me to take those photos.

After that, we walked towards the MRT station heading to the next location, Longshan Temple. In the afternoon on a 15th of the lunar year, the temple was crowded with people and also food and drinks for prayers. I've also thought of praying and getting my fortune told, but the crowd made me think twice, and I've decided to stay a side to look around and to take photos.

Waited at a corner for quite sometime, I still don't see any of them around. In the temple, the Taiwanese still kept their sequence, going in on the right and out in the left. To look for them, I had to go another round.

After prayers, we went to Dixiajie for a walk. It wasn't as crowded as the night markets, but still we get to see and to buy. I didn't know that I could find cheap clothes and shoes, magazine and also all types of anime items, one of them is Once Piece, Lene's favorite. I've thought of buying it home, but the price, it was not what I've expected and I gave up and took some pictures. Haha...

Around evening, we went back to Ximending for a rest. My long-time-no-see cousin sister will be going for a dinner with us. She came to our hotel right after she finished her job. After meeting up at the hotel, we went down again to the streets and didn't know what to eat for dinner. All of a sudden, I thought of the flyer this morning that I'm given and decided to try it out. Our dinner that night was at Modern Toilet. Interesting!

台湾六日游(三)

在台湾的第三天,西门町的早晨,人群多了些,可爱的狗狗也多一些。跟在主人身边的狗狗,乖得不可思议,想起家里的狗狗,根本比不上这儿的狗狗们,但是还是想念起它们。想起它们在我们回家的时候,总是呱呱叫要抱抱,吵得很!想起它们总是互相追逐,你追我躲!可爱极了!

牌上写着:“不要摸我,我会生气!

西门町的人潮,比平时多了些。

微微的风开始在吹,台风快来了,但是不至于冷得需要批上外套。走在西门町的路上,依然经过那卖苦瓜汁的阿哥,来来回回也已不知数。今早的早餐是在西门町的和民日本餐厅,好吃哦!吃完后, 艾娟总是不忘每天都来个地瓜球,毕竟回去了就吃不到了嘛!

和民烧酒

今天的旅程就是台北101,他们说去到台北就要看看台北101,要不然就不算去台北咯!去到台北101,我也没想说要上那座塔,我根本没有兴趣,也不觉得有什么值得。我们就只是在那里买些纪念品,拍拍照,走走看看。走着走着,也都是傍晚咯!天都暗了!回西门町之前,还拍了台北101的夜景,还算拍得不错啦!

台湾游的第三天也没有什么特别,晚上我们六人搭德士来到饶河夜市再次买买,吃吃,喝喝!这对我就是最爽快的事情咯!

Taiwan 6 Days Trip (3)

Ximending in the morning, 3rd day of our trip, the street was crowded with a little more people, even the dogs were many than usual. The doggies that were following their master, they were so awfully obedient, thinking of our dogs at home, they weren't even their competence, still, we missed them. Thinking about how they barked for attention, thought about how they played with each other and running about the house like their playground. Its so cute!

The wind had been blowing lightly, its coming and its going to turn cold, but isn't too cold to even wear a jacket on. Walking on the street of Ximending, still we walked pass the Bitter Melon seller, to and fro with a countless number. Our breakfast in that morning, its Watami Taiwan Restaurant, a Japanese food restaurant. After our breakfast, Angel would always go for the junk food on the street without fail. Well, we wouldn't get any of that in Malaysia.

Our journey that day was Taipei 101, they said, going Taipei without see-ing the Taipei 101 tower is not considered that you were there. LoL! I wonder who's the one who said that? Got to the entrance of the tower, I wasn't thinking of going up at all, I wasn't interested in it anyway and I thought it didn't worth any to get up there. We bought some souvenirs, took some photos and walked around for a bit. Without realizing it, it was already dark. Before going back to the hotel, I managed to get some night view photos of the tower. It was pretty around the city with all the lighting.

3rd day of Taiwan trip, there's nothing special about it. At night, the 6 of us took 2 taxis to Raohe Night Market and again we started to buy, to eat and to drink! To me, that's the best things ever! Buy! Eat! Drink! Cheers!

台湾六日游(二)

台湾早晨的阳光是特别温和,应该是要转冬的缘故吧!醒来的第一刻就看见枕边的老公叫醒自己的模样。不习惯早醒的我也在北投的早上赖一赖床。第一个梳洗的当然也是老公咯,好让他这个枕边的多赖一下下床咯!梳洗过后,我们六人就到该饭店的小餐厅享受个丰富的早餐。

早晨清新的空气,一点点时下时不下的毛毛雨,空气中带一点咸咸的味道,感觉是真的特别不一样。一面听着水流声,一面慢慢的品尝饭店备有的早餐。太阳蛋的上层没有一滴一滴黑色的液体,也没有那少许的灰粉,但是吃进嘴巴里的太阳蛋却带点儿咸咸的味道,原因就是太阳蛋上已经放有一点点的盐巴。色相看上去是有点儿缺了什么似的,但是吃进去还是能品尝平时都吃的太阳蛋。没有辣椒酱,一样还是吃得下。偶尔一点点的不一样算得了什么?

吃完早餐,我们各自回到房间,当然又再泡一次温泉咯!钱都已经付了,当然就要享受一切。但是温泉只能泡个10至15分钟,休息休息一下。每一间房间的洗手间都会放个警告牌,规矩都得跟。中午12点正,把房间给退了,德士也安排好了,再往另一个地点去。

下一个地点是西门町,就住在东龙大饭店,接下来的五天就只住这间。饭店是真的干净,工作人员一个个面带笑容, 就是那张床有点硬,像是睡在地板上一样。就只是五天,没什么大不了的事啦!住在西门町方便得很,要德士有德士,要地铁有地铁,要买什么需要的用品,一切都在附近,用脚走去就行咯!

房间看出去的风景

行李箱都安置好后,就是午餐时间咯!在西门町的第一餐,就是鲁肉饭与一些小菜。我们个个都吃得津津有味,老公更是赞不绝口。吃饱以后,就是逛逛的时候咯!在台湾就只是吃和逛, 哈哈!饭店的附近就有个卖苦瓜汁的店面,有个阿哥就天天站在店前,看见我们就跟我们推销,他还用了广东话似乎懂得几种语言。最好笑的是,他每一句之前都会先转舌头,trrr..... 的一下再接他想说的话。

鲁肉饭

在西门町转了一圈,又转移了目标,这次是到后山碑的五分埔。在五分埔,我们也不忘了再吃较出名的鲁肉饭。 五分埔的商店,都是一些批发商,想买的衣服鞋子,钱包与手提袋都可以在这里买得便宜, 但是一些商店只是批发而不零售,要买就要看好,别走了进去才发现他原来就只批发。

西门町的街上自拍

不一样的角度

往五分埔咯!

又是鲁肉饭

在五分埔逛街,自己花了少少台币,买了些小朋友的衣服给老公的侄儿们,也忍不住买了件自己觉得可爱的衣服给下个月生日的表妹。除了这些,我也花了一些在手提袋上,六个,不过份啦!两个自己的,其他就是妈咪和妹妹们的。逛完五分埔,已经是傍晚六点咯!这时的地铁都挤满了人,学生啊,放工的啊都一一搭上地铁各自回家咯!我们也一起挤上地铁,再回到西门町休息。

拥挤的地铁

七点半左右,从西门町搭的士来到另一个美食与购物的天堂,士林夜市。星期五的晚上,夜市格外多车也格外多人。士林夜市外的小贩中心,也是人山人海,个个都在排队买吃, 有的就坐在旁边,边吃边聊天,有的来来往往你去东我去西。

满满的士林

人山人海

终于啊!吃到了我想吃的炸鸡排,也吃了很多不同的美食, 例如鸡蛋蚵仔煎,贡丸汤,大肠包小肠,大饼包小饼,当然还有珍珠奶茶。呵呵!士林夜市的人潮真的很多,连狗狗们也出来逛街咯!我们五人当中第一个消费者竟然是两个大男人,他们也会有忍不住想买的念头哦!哈哈!

炸鸡排与鸡蛋蚵仔煎

我的最爱

两个大男人买了球鞋,名牌哦!自己也敲了老公一笔,买了个Adidas粉色的鸭帽。呵呵!之后,就正式逛士林夜市咯!台湾的夜市,都非常有次序,走进去一定是右边,出来的一定是左边。这样就不会人与人碰撞,也不用晃来晃去的,逛夜市也逛得舒服些。哪儿像本地,逛个夜市都逛得你推我挤的。伤脑筋!

在士林夜市没有买什么东西,反而是吃得多。吃的有煎鸟蛋,很好吃哦!臭豆腐,站在旁边是觉得很臭,但是吃进去味道还不赖。不敢吃臭豆腐的我,也吃了想再吃,还有花枝。 吃着吃着,走完了整条街,临走前还看见了白色的黄金猎犬。好大只,好白,好干净哦!忍不住就想着拍照了!

我也来个相

Taiwan 6 Days Trip (2)

The morning sun in Taiwan is specially warm, it should be cause by the changing season. The moment when I woke up, I saw the looks of Hubby trying to wake me up. Not being used to waking up as early as that, I lay on the bed for a little while more. The 1st 1 to wash up of course was Hubby, at the same time to let me lay there a few minutes more. After washing up, we got to the dining area of the hotel to have our provided breakfast.

The morning breeze in Beitou, the drizzling rain bit by bit, the air had a taste of saltiness, the feeling was indeed different from the way we used to be. While listening to the running water, we ate our breakfast, enjoying the morning air. On top of the sunny egg, there wasn't any drip of black liquid, there wasn't any pinch of greyish powder, but there's still a little saltiness about the egg. The reason, of course they've pour some salt on it. At the looks of it, it doesn't look any tasty, but when you chew and tasted the egg, its still has the taste how we used to eat it. There were no chili sauce but it was fine. Having a little difference isn't that bad at all, right?

Finished our breakfast, we got back to our rooms, of course its spring bath again. We've paid for it, might as well utilities it. But there were only 10-15 minutes for us to soak in the bath. Every room in this hotel, there will be a signboard on the bathroom wall with all the rules and regulation about spring bath. 12pm sharp in the afternoon, we've checked out and arranged for taxis, ready for the next destination.

Our next stop is Ximending, we will be staying at East Dragon Hotel for the rest of the days. The hotel was indeed very clean, the workers were all smiley but the bed of theirs, it was too stiff, as if I was sleeping on the floor. But its only for 5 days, I guess there wasn't any big deal of it. Living around Ximending its really convenient, there'll be a taxi when you need it, the MRT station was in a walking distance, anything you need to buy would be nearby to get it, all you need are those 2 feet of yours.

It was lunch time after we settled our hotel and luggage. Our 1st meal in Ximending was Pork Rice with some other little dishes of vegetables, groundnuts and squids. The rice was delicious and so do the little dishes, Hubby especially liked it a lot. After meal, its time for shopping. Nearby our hotel, there's a shop selling Bitter Melon Juice, a guy of that shop would stand in front of the shop to sell, the moment he saw us, he would use Cantonese to speak to us. The funniest part, he would always curl his tongue with a trrr... sound and continued with what he wanted to say.

Walking 1 round in Ximending, we changed destination again, this time, its Wufenpu. Just around Wufenpu, there's another shop selling Pork Rice again and we had another round of it before conquering the shops in there. At that area, most of the shop were wholesale seller. If you want to get some clothes, shoes, purse or handbags, you could get it there with a cheaper price. But some of the shops, they would only do wholesale instead of retail, you should really keep an eye open for the sign for retail sellers.

Walking around Wufenpu, I've spent a little too, buying some children clothes for Hubby's nephews, I've also bought a dress that I thought it was cute for my cousin whose birthday is next month. Besides that, I've also spent some on 6 handbags, 2 for myself and the others were for mummy and sisters. It was 6pm in the evening when we've done with shops hopping. The MRT at this hour, it was crowded, the students and those office workers had all boarded the MRT to get home. We too had boarded it and went back to Ximending for a rest.

Around 7:30pm, from Ximending, we took a taxi to get to another heaven of shopping and food, Shilin Night Market. On that Friday night, the night market was so crowded with taxis, cars and the people. At the Hawker Center, it was crowded too. Some of them were queue-ing up for food, some sat at a corner talking while eating and some walking here and there.

Finally, I've had the chance to eat the original Fried Chicken Chop and also other delicious food, such as Fried Oyster Egg, Meat Ball Soup, etc... and also Taiwan Bubble Tea. Hehe... It was really crowded in Shilin Night Market, even the dogs were there for a walk. The 1st to spent among the 5 of us were the 2 big guys, they couldn't resist the buying power too. Haha...

Both of them had bought a sport shoe each, and its branded! I've also knocked a sum from Hubby and bought a Pink Adidas Cap. Hehe... After that, we really started our hunt in the night market. Night markets in Taiwan, they have their own sequences, if you're walking in, you need to go on your right of the street and to come out, it'll be on your left. Walking in their night market was much more relax and comfortable than the ones in Malaysia, at least, we don't have to push and squeeze each other to walk through the street.

We didn't buy much at Shilin Night Market, instead, we bought a lot of food. There were fried bird eggs, it was really delicious. Smelly Taufu, standing beside the stall was really smelly, but when you tasted it, there wasn't any smell and it taste good. I didn't dare to taste it at 1st, but after tasting it, I wanted another. Eat and eat, we've went through the whole street, before leaving, we manage to get hold of a White Golden Retriever to have a photo shot. Its so huge, so white and so clean! We couldn't resist for to shoot a few more pictures.

台湾六日游(一)

从台湾回来,已经有六天了,但是精神却好像还留在那里。我们的花费确实真的是有限公司,但是却大包小包的把想买的东西都买回来了,差点儿就要超越该有的重 量。那时的我才知道,原来要带上飞机的行李箱也有限重量的。我俩在台湾的花费是大约六千马币,但是想想,如果在本地,买回来的东西哪儿只那六千?

去台湾旅行是我与老公结婚后的蜜月之旅,但是我知道对一般人的看法,我们根本不是度蜜月而是家庭旅行,因为去的不只是我与他。对我来说,只要是我俩玩得开心,其他的都不是问题。第一天的旅程已经花了半天的时间在飞机上。

飞机上的走廊实在是窄得可以,座位就不用再说了,再胖一点的,应该是根本挤不进去。想说睡一睡,结果连睡觉也不舒服,睡了也是一下下就醒了。还没到台湾的飞机,在短短的四个小时多里面,都让我们破费了。在飞机上闷得没有事情做,那只好找食物啃咯!食物还真的是不便宜哦!

飞机上自拍

兴奋的心情下,我们到了桃园机场,在台湾的天空上转了个弯,飞机才开始降落。飞机师的技术真的是差,晃得心都差点儿跳出来了!下了飞机第一件事,就是找洗手间。四个小时多里面,一次都没上过啊!

把一切办好后,行李也拿好了。走到机场外找德士去了,但是我们六人,找德士也不容易,只好等个较大辆的咯!要到北投的我们,分两辆车,是有点儿贵了,大多 数的车只载四人,还好我们运气算好吧,终于有一辆肯载,但问题却有一个,司机一路上40分钟的旅程都在说话。可怜的老公,坐在最后座,脚也不得伸直地与行李箱并座,到了目的地,脚也麻痹了。

挤满的德士

老公拥挤的座位

美代温泉饭店,就是我们第一晚的住宿,北投就是有温泉的地方, 而这饭店就已经有泡温泉的设备,公共温泉就没必要再去啦!在台湾的时间,我们还真的有点不习惯,6点的傍晚天就渐渐转暗。习惯早吃晚餐的我们休息了一阵就往饭店附近的拉面店找吃去了!那间拉面应该是出名的吧!

美代温泉饭店

泡温泉的设备,有jacuzzi哦!

饭店外的鱼池

5+1=6人行

吃饱了以后,就是逛夜市的时候了。从饭店到新北投车站,应该也要整整的20分钟路程吧!走走拍拍,一路慢慢地走到地铁站。我们要去的地方就是淡水老街,整条街都有吃的,有卖时装,那里卖的盐酥鸡就是二十年的老招牌,也是最好吃的那档。

从街头走到街尾再从街尾走到街头,终算走完了整个老街。在台湾的日子,就是走路走得多, 去哪儿也都是十一号巴士。打包了一包一包的美食后,我们在地铁站等车时已经忍不住地吃了盐酥鸡。还有不忘的就是台湾的珍珠奶茶,味道可是真的不一样,好喝得多咯!

回到北投,我们也不忘先到鲜芋仙再吃些豆腐花,也在那里的小店逛一逛再一路慢慢地走回饭店。脚就真的走得累死了,还好,泡了温泉,轻松得多。

Taiwan 6 Days Trip (1)

Its been 6 days since the day we got back from Taiwan, but our mind seems to still linger in Taiwan. Our spending indeed have a limit to it, still, we brought back big and small packs of stuff that wanted to buy and almost exceeded our limits in weight for the luggage. It was then that I knew, our luggage have a limit to board a plane. Our spend in Taiwan? Its about Rm6k. Think about it, could you buy that much back in our country?

Travelling to Taiwan, it considered to be our honey moon trip after Hubby and I got married, but to some of them, we're not in a honey moon trip, it rather look more like a family trip. Its because I went not only with Hubby but also his family. To me, it doesn't really matter if the 2 of us enjoyed the trip, other than that, is not a problem. 1st day of our trip, we spent half of the day on a plane.

The corridor on the plane, it was so narrow. The seats? Needless to say! If anyone that is too plump, I don't think they could fit in the seat. I've thought of taking a nap before reaching Taiwan, but it wasn't comfortable at all to even have a nap, even if I did fell asleep, I would wake up at no reasons at all. In these 4 hours+ flight, we've already spending our money. Feeling bored on the plane, we needed food to drain the boredom. And it wasn't cheap at all.

Excitedly, we've got to the airport in Taiwan. In the air, the plane made a big U-turn and then it started for landing. The pilot's skill was really bad, he made our hearts beating fast. Once we landed, the 1st thing we need was the washroom. 4 hours of flight, I didn't went even once.

After settling everything and got our luggage, we went out to get a taxi. As we're 6 in a group, looking for a taxi is isn't that easy, we had to wait for the bigger ones. As we need to get to Beitou, dividing into 2 taxis cost us a lot, most of the taxi only would carry 4 passengers. It seems that luck was actually on our side, there was a taxi to fit us all and our luggage, but there's only a problem, on that 40 minutes drive, the driver was talking non-stop from the airport. Poor Hubby, sitting at the last row with all the luggage. He couldn't even put his leg down, his legs were numb by the time we got to the hotel.

Beauty Age hotel is the hotel we're putting off the 1st night. Beitou is the place where there's spring water, and the hotel, they provide us with the spring water facility with jacuzzi. Those public spring water? Forget about it. LoL! The timing in Taiwan, it has a slight difference, its slowly turning dark 6 something in the evening. We had our dinner after getting a little rest, then we got to a nearby restaurant for a ramen. It should be a famous ramen I guess.

After having dinner, then its time to shop in the night markets. From the hotel to the MRT station, I guess we need at least 20 minutes walk. I took quite some pictures along the way, slowly walking to the station. Our destination, its Danshui, Laojie. On the whole street, it sells food and fashionable clothes. There was also a 20 years seller of Salted Fried Chicken, it was the best of all.

From the front to the back and from the back till the front, we walked and walked. In these days in Taiwan, you'll need to walk a lot, where ever you go, you'll need to walk. After buying those delicious food, we walked back to the station and started eating while waiting for the MRT. And not to forget, the famous Bubble Tea in Taiwan, its different than the taste that sells in Malyasia, it was much much better and tastier.

Got back to Beitou, we did not forget to have some Taufufa. We've also walked about the area then headed back to our hotel. Our legs had been dread from the walking, luckily, we can have a spring bath. It feels much lighter and relax after the bath.

Scrub & Mask

Wrote and delete! Wrote and delete!
For the pass half an hour, I've been writing and deleting my post. I realize that I've had not been writing often for such a long long time and I too realize that I had lost the words to write. It usually would start on its own in my mind on the things I wanted to say and now the power is gone.

Earlier in the afternoon, while taking a shower, in the urge, I took out my body scrub and slowly scrubbing every area of my body. Hub was thinking why did I took so long in the bathroom. I came out from it, being much more refreshed and my complexion was much more smoother. I ask Hub to touch my skin and he too said that its much more smoother and its wasn't as dry as before. Per tube of this body scrub is as low as Rm8. Why get an expensive body scrub when it give the same effect as this?

An hour ago, I suddenly had the urge to put on some mask. Girls always wanted to be at their prettiest. The mask that I've put on had gave me a super clean and smooth touch on my face as if I've skinned my face to a newer complexion. The mask that I've bought, its less than Rm2.50 per piece and it gives the same effect as other branded facial mask.

At this hour of the night, 3 piggies are sleeping soundly beside me, 2 doggies and Hub. The 2 doggies had conquered my space, which mean I have to shift them later when I have to sleep. For now, I'm thinking. I'm thinking of the things to do before I'm going oversea and I realize that I've forgotten to do something for my sister. Hopefully I could get it done before it. Racing after TVB series really does make me reckless on my working list. =p

Any girls out there want a smoother skin?

Rhythm of Life

Rhythm of life
Wrote and bind
Pen down feelings
With a song in mind

Sadness and joy
Being read and rhyme
Releasing stress
For a peace of mind

Enjoy your life
While you're given the pride
Friends and family
Let's have some wine

Live With Your Heart & Brain

The guy opposite
That is sitting and shaking his leg
I wonder
How old is he now?

With a look of an old
And a brain of a child
He certainly doesn't do things
The way the look he had

They didn't like him much
But he had none a clue
Where is the mirror
To check and see him through?

Hey lady that just happen to walk by
Your head has tilt so high
Your nose is pointing the sky
Becareful, you might step on something wild

She thinks she's so important
She thinks that everyone should follow
Where is the mirror?
For a frequent check on her appearance

With such a sour face
Even when she smiled
Everyone looked her way
Immediately they turn away

Hey boys and girls
Who are up and about
There's so many things
In life to be found

Live with your heart
Live with your brain
Earn your respect
Without a finger lift
