台湾有很多这种的店，专给人玩投篮机和夹娃娃机，而且每一间的生意都不错 wor…its really everywhere.

好大 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~的鸡排！(NT$45)


去西门 田丁一定要去吃 阿宗 面线，一定一定要，and one thing ar, 你吃了他们的面线后，其他外面的面线都显得不好吃。我们到西门田丁的时候是拜天，所以还蛮多人排队的。一碗面线要 NT$35可是还很多人排。。。plus他们是没有provide seats的 leh! 每个人都要站在店外吃。。。越吃越热 ~可是值得！

在台湾很普遍的雪糕 , low fat low calories one.


4:30 刚逛完诚品116，Dor and爸爸买了一条台湾版的 Levis (NT$2990)

5:35 在台北车站 转车到剑潭站 ~ 终於到达士林夜市了！

贩卖报纸自动 机。Huimin最爱拍这些有的没的啦~


Huimin 一直吵着要去的宠物街，真的是各种各样的动物都有，蛇 la, 蜥蜴 la, 猪 la, 兔子 la, 不同种类的猫狗 la, 虽然不是很喜欢动物，但也觉得这里蛮有趣的 ^_^


7:33 找到 Huimin 姐姐推荐的好朋友凉面 (NT$175/ 5包)


找到了一间很赞的店~ www.theskinfood.com. Sales 的态度很好，东西又没有chemical (or they claim), 后来也觉得很好用而在最后一天的时候跑回去再光顾 ^^

高雄肉圆 ，很像一个用虾饺皮包着肉包的馅料再加上汤


仔细看噢，是可丽饼的 Menu


Crepe and crepe master


蚵仔煎 (NT$40)


多彩多姿的士林


Cant rem what this is lu~


7:53 在一个牛肉 面店歇脚 ~走士林走到好~累~啊！很长很长的一条街，好像怎么都走不完那样 ~ btw如果你去台湾一定要试一试他们的牛肉面，牛肉入口即化，汤又香又浓 ~ m^_^M 可惜 huimin不能吃牛肉，所以那碗鲁肉饭 (NT$25) 是她的。


我们还吃了蚵仔面线，Okonomiyaki，葱油饼，豪大大鸡排，盐酥菇，金桔水，河粉煎，杏仁水。。。总共二十样东西。嘻。

还去了这家店

特别要提一下这间 QQ堂。我们虽然什么都没买，一行六个人手空空的出来，可是他们的 sales attitude真的很棒，不但很热情地招呼我们，还跟我们聊了很多台湾的东西，好像哪里哪里可以买到什么特产 la, 还有哪里比较好走 la. 真的很 nice ^^

台北的捷运月台是这样子的~


跟你们说呵，throughout整个 holiday不是我就是 Huimin做camera-lady，所以特别要他们帮我们两个拍这长合照，难得的合照 ^^


See now evil, hear no evil, speak no evil >_<

First day at Taipei

Reached Taipei at around 3++ morning. Poor Huimin's jiefu waited for us at the airport for quite long cos our flight was delayed due to bad weather @ HK. Amazing car of his...7 of us squeezed in for a 50 min ride.

Mmmmm. Taipei 's air smells so different. ^^

By the time we finally fall to bed, already 4+ am le. -_-"

Cant remember what time we woke up but we left house around 1 pm. Taipei's mrt station is called 捷運, nearest station from our house was 木柵站, which is only 5 minutes walk away.


We bought a student travel card ( sth like Sgp's ez-link ) for NT$500, alighted at 忠孝復興站and headed to the famous 東區粉圓stall. Though we followed directions given in the book, still quite difficult to find cos very difficult to find 路牌.


Taken at 東區地下街.Nothing much to walk one...damn sian. This pic was taken outside the toilet. Cool.


終於找到了。

所謂的東區粉園就是冰再加一堆料,好像珍珠(他們叫粉圓) la, 白木耳la,愛玉la,湯圓la, things like that. 生意很好﹐一直有人在排隊. Only thing is that the queue is very long and alot of customers, so the staff there tend to get abit impatient.

Main aim of the day was to find Jay's antique shop at 忠孝東路. A very very long way cos the directions given in the book wasnt clear and everybody gave differnt directions. After an hour or so of searching and trial and error, finally found it!!!! They don't allow picture taking in the shop but the salesgirl was nice enough to let me and huimin take one pic each. Muacks.


發自內心的內心的微笑^^ 我和他的唯一合照﹗

Huimin and my ex ~

And anyway, do you know that d shops ard this area are all so cool? Heard that the rent are cheaper than shopping centres. They have very big unique statues outside their shops, and even those country style staircases, benches outside, stuffs like that. There was a 2m+ gorilla statue outside X-Large.


As you know ( or u dun? ), itz huimi's 21st bdae that day! We gave her a suprise at HK airport with a suprise cake and a suprise gift. She actually sniffed d cake even before she saw it! 神功! We celebrated again at night at Ps Bu Bu, with her jiejie and jiefu.


Look at the candle!


Huimin's jie jie and jiefu...sweet couple ^^


The cashier counter.


Fooooooooooood!!! Huge onion rings ><


Please focus on the blue car behind. We tried to take pictures of all the cars inside PS Bu Bu secretly. Esp their pink mini cooper. Wow. If u find this place familiar, YES, it is the 流星花園dat 汽車屋, the place where Da S and Jerry dated. You'll be disappointed to know that ice cream is NOT their main dish...they specialize in Italian food. Nice spaghetti served, though slightly ex. Around NT$300 for one dish. The waitress are all so pretty btw. Wu Ha.

........t0 be continued

Emails, friendster messages, tags at friends' blogs and msn can wait. But these acknowledgement have to be done NOW.

Many thanks to...
- Huimin's sis and bro-in-law for letting us to stay at their beautiful house for 6 days.
- Jerome (Huimin's bro-in-law) for fetching us from Taipei airport at 2+ AM
- All the ultramanatic-nice taiwanese for showing us directions
- Mr Taxi driver no. 1 for charging us only $150 on 1st Jun ( Refer to later entry )
- Ella-look-alike salesgirl from QQ Heaven for giving us useful information although we bought nothing
- Mr Seabed for allowing us to have an experience of what Earthquake is like
- China Airlines for giving us the most horrifying trip today

Ahem. So thats about it. Ya. Taipei is great! The food is fantastic, the people are ultramanatic friendly, pretty girls are everywhere, service is above satisfactory though their stuffs are abit high-end. And I love their TV channels!!! So many channels...anytime u on TV, sure got something interesting to watch one. I love their bookshop too. And their staffs working at the Petrol station...so damn cute!!!! Singapore ones all ah-pek one......

Come again at night. I'll add pictures.

Monday.
Fetch the girls from airport then straight to Guesthouse. The place is much better than I expected...aircon, fridge, tv plus a small bathroom. Considered very good for HK$100/night per person. Plus location was terrific...just next to Jordan Mtr Station.

Walked around 旺角，then brought the girls to 郎豪坊。 Mainly is help Kimmy get her Converse and Arsenal stuffs, plus d girls were really tired. Can see. All like wana die wana die lidat le. Came over for dinner ... everybody was very very full.

Tuesday.
Sick. Kimmy left.

Wednesday.
黄大仙 拜拜. Weather was fine when we reached. 大家都有求签。。。主要都是求事业吧，since now already graduate le. HongKong's temple is different from Singapore's...usually when we 求签 in Bugis dat temple, they will give us the 签 for free then we take dat duno wad book and refer to it ourselves. Here ar, must pay one ar. Since the 签 itself is HK$2 and we also dun have the book, we ask the 算命师help us 解签 as well for HK$20.

Mine's a good one ^^

Thurs
Meet them straight at MongKok Mtr. By now all of them are travel experts le ^^ Know how to get to alot of places alone. One whole day shop shop shop shop shop.

Finally brought them to Avenue of Stars. Nothing exciting for me cos I just been there few days ago with Kimmy. Took alot of pics though. Shall upload when have them. Alot of cute stuffs ^^

Friday
One day rest at home before meeting the girls straight at airport. We'll be on our plane to Taipei tml ^^ Excited! And we'll have a small suprise for Huimin too. Getting her a cake and celebrating her bdae on plane ... call her to wish her Happie birthday ya! (She got auto roam but call before 12 cos hp need to be switched off on plane)

Oh my u cant imagine how many things d girls bought...mountains of shoes and clothes. Dun tink they need to shop for the rest of the year le lah. And time to observe their special shopping habits : Huimin like to walk alot of shops to compare before buying what she want. Dor will wander off without a word so always must keep lookout for her. Huijuan is see, ok , buy. Dengli most difficult to buy things cos always dun have her size. Duhz.

My world is full of germs. I'm sick. Kimmy's sick. Hj's sick. Dor's sick. Fantastic.

Having a 39.4 fever. Hj's having a 38.5 fever. Lets see who can break my record. Wu Ha.

I am a evil girl. * Evil evil evil. *

Kimmy was supposed to reach HK today. But. ( Lemme laugh first...Ha! ) She was late and missed the flight. Since she's taking a cheap airline, they dun allow her to change date of flight, forfeited her ticket and now she have to pay another $250 so as to board the next plane. PLUS awarding her with one night stay at the wonderful boring airport that you Singaporeans are proud of ... I'll fetch her at the airport tml at 11 am.

My schedule will be packed. Starting from next week onwards. Kimmy come, class girls come, Kimmy go, class girls go, aunty come, aunty go. Then...WORK. Wu Ha.

Ahem.

心情变好了。(-Only San knows why!!!-) Time for me to enjoy myself!!!!

.去 花园街吃咖喱鱼蛋 和买便宜衣服鞋子
..再去MKS 继续shopping
...再去女人街走走看看
....有空还可以去Neway 唱K
.....还要去拍Neoprint 啦
......去尖嘴的星光大道天星码头海港城

And many many more places! Yeah...we'll have fun!

PS: An official thx to Alex Lee Chee Seng. Thx to him I'll blog in chinese from tml onwards. Wu ha.

心情坏到极点。

气
气
气
气死我了。

Lets talk about cosmetic today again.

The good ones ^^

H2O+ Sea Mineral Mud Mask $60+
H2O+'s salesgirls are the best salesperson-s in Singapore. Especially those at Suntec. Number one, they are polite and attentive. Number two, they give u FREE skin analysis even though I told them I most prob won't be buying. Number three, they are generous in giving free samples. And most importantly, their product is good. This is what I call, yi fen qian yi fen huo.

Herbalife
Their mud mask and aloe vera gel is goooooood. Price slightly high, but it is worth it cos their after sales service is fantastic. That means, they keep calling n bugging u for feedbacks. It really helped my skin though, visible results after a mth or so but its difficult to find in Singapore cos it is direct marketing. Don't have counter one.

Elizabeth Arden Peel and Reveal Revitalizing Treatment $??
My lady boss gave me during Christmas cos she buey tahan my skin condition. Smells great, come together with a miny brush for easy application of the mask. Lightens scars and tighten pores. I used this once a week, damn nice but very fast use finish lu~

Dalacin Pimple/Acne Lotion HK$85
I used this brand during secondary school days till year one. Very effective for me. Even introduced it to many friends but it doesnt work for me anymore cos my skin got immuned to it le.

Shiseido Pureness Matifying Moisturizer Oil-Free
The salesgirl @ Taka Shiseido counter gave me the sample when I bought their blotters. Wonderful moisturizer really. Matt. Control oil. And smells good.

Shiseido Pureness Oil-Control Blotting Paper $20
I tried Gatsby, Clean and Clear, ZA and other no brand blotters before, but none can be compared to this. One paper enough for whole face (-pls bear in mind tt my face is verrrrrry oily-) plus got powder one side. Da da da dang! Pretty matt face ^^

Shiseido Eyelash Curler $16
Borrowed from Jaclyn, and the effect was good. Jac say that Shu Uemera's one is better, but I bought this anyway cos it's few bucks cheaper than SU.

IPSA Liquid Foundation SPF20 $65
My beloved cream. Fantastic coverage and sun-block. I tried applying it once before stepping into the beach...and the results are more than satisfactory. Everywhere except my face was tanned.

Red Earth Honey Lip Gloss
Wu Ha. Yesh its made of pure honey ... love it cos it really tastes sweet and trust it cos honey is a natural source. ^^

Kose Pencil Eyeliner Black/Brown $25
So far the best eyeliner I tried. The make-up artiste at 2way intro one. It doesnt smudge like crayon eyeliner and is easier to use compared to liquid ones. Last very long...i had my makeup at around 3 and at 5 when I removed my makeup, its still there. Strong right?

Maybelline Lash Discovery $16+?
Not bad. Me using the dark brown one.

Of course I know that everyone's skin is different and what suits me might not suits u.

And as for the products I'm using now. Ahem. Abit long ya. Start from daily uh. Morning I either use SKII facial wash or my prescribed washing gel. Follow by Red Earth Brightening Toner and Neutrogena's Oil-free Combination Skin Moisturizer.

Skip makeup part.

Night. Red Earth Hydro Makeup Removal -> Neutrogena's Deep Cleansing Gel -> SKII facial wash -> Red Earth brightening toner ->Neutrogena's moisturizer.

Weekly. H2O+ mask ( refer to above ) -> Toner -> moisturizer

and

Basic 3 step ( Cleanse, toner, moisturize ) -> Elizabeth Arden Mask ( refer to above )

plus***my ma duno read from which newspaper say bittergourd can lighten scars and heals acne/pimple. Now every alternate days or on the days I'm not doing my own mask, she grinds the bittergourd and apply to my face, leave it for 20 mins before washing it off. Tell you what are the results by next week.
