taipei trip part 1

hey folks! using the internet at the hotel in taipei while my sisters are out buying some food to eat. din go cause i just showered. lol. anyway, here's an update on my trip to taipei. short one. and is only the first part of my trip. shall update the rest another day after i return back to singapore tmr nite.. lol.. post is rather long but will try to split my trip into parts so it's easier to read.. folks, enjoy my story:

day 1: 16th june, sat
woke up at 5.45 am to do last minute packing of toiletries and stuff and to get ready to take off to the airport.. was rather excited esp. this is my first time to taipei and it's been abt 5 yrs since i last took the airplane.. so lol.. journey was abt 4 1/2 hrs frm singapore to taipei so in btw, i slept on the plane and watched movies and played computer games on the SIA plane. but the computer games were not much fun... lol. reached taipei at abt 1 plus and we headed down to the hotel, City Suites, after collecting our luggage and avoiding the dog at the baggage collection area. then smth happened quite funny and it's a long story. if you wanna know, ask me and i'll tell you.. after leaving our luggage and stuff, we headed down to shilin. that was our first stop and we tot that the shilin night market was pathetic until we found the real shilin night market and from there, we bought some bracelets and earrings from there. the owner of the shop or stall was very friendly.. told us whr to go, how to get there, wad must eat and wad food is simply, so-so.. after walking till our legs were tired, we headed back to the hotel and yup, that was the end of the first day.. lol

day 2: 17th june, sun
woke up at 5 plus and the sun was already up like singapore's 9am.. and the curtains weren't drawn so yah.. but went back to sleep although i din quite sleep well.. anywae, after breakfast, headed down to church for mass before going down to xi men ding. being sunday, xi men ding was naturally crowded just like singapore's orchard road.. shopped around, had lunch and snow ice. bought a pair of jeans on the second day, a leather bracelet and i think that was it. went to wu fen pu in the evening and gotten a white cardigan which i tot was sweet. and den, went down to raohe night market and it was simply like a maze. was rather tired at the end of the day cause of all that walking.. haha..

will stop at day 2 for now. story will continue as taipei trip part 2 and at day 3. so keep coming to my blog for more updates on my trip esp. if it's hard for us to keep in touch. so yah! will update soon!! lol!! gotta go. tata. see you back in singapore in abt 23 hrs time!! :)
