***!Taipei Trip!***
Sorrie for e late blogging cuz I was sick e last few daes, had fever up to 38.3 nei.. Felt so miserable! *Eeek* But, luckily Bibi dun haf to work so I was well taken care of...Slept e whole dae dis morning till bt 1pm to haf mi brunch ( white bread wif natella, lyk tt spell mah)Aniway, Im much beta nw le...
Finally Im back frm Taipei le..Waa~ Bibi drove for 8 hrs up to taipei & 8 hrs back home.. damn tiring for him lor... Too bad I cant drive, if nt i mite be able to share e burden...Hehe~ Its nt fun travelling for like more den 500 km a dae de... Tat will burn ur ass lor, dun eva try dis... cuz we r train de.. Wahahahaa~~

...~ Day 1~...
We woke up at 7+am & prepared everyting before we left e hse... brought a super duper big luggage... which are mostly Princess Xuan's clothes lor.. Scared tt she mite be cold cuz its winter over here, tats y brought lotsa jackets & cardigan along.. we even brought e milk bottle steriliser, so u can imagine e amt of stuff we brought dere...Hehe~ Typical Singaporean ah... too kiasu le! *giggles*
As normal, we took our breakfast at e breakfast shop before we proceed to Taipei...
***On e way***

...Look at hw relax Princess Xuan's is...


After 8 hrs of journey, we reached Taipei le.. *Phew* At last leh... Feel so drained e 1st dae le... Aniway, still gonna search for a hotel to stay in...So proceed to e hotel near Shilin nite market ( recommend by Iris), e hotel is lyk Sg$100 per nite, tink tats nt too ex & there's free breakfast provided too...E most impt ting is its near Shilin nite market, a 10mins walk oni, tink its quite convinence! Wats more, we r tired to find more hotel to compare e price le, so muz well choose tt le...
Went to e hotel 1st to "unload" everyting...hehe~ den "fly" all e way to Shilin to get mi dinner... Yup, im damn hungry wif all e travelling le..*keke*Order kuangdong porridge for both Bibi n mi...& we shared e guang cai ban, toast bread wif chicken stuffing n sauce, both were delicious...*highly recommend* (",)v

Waiting for our food to cum

See! Princess Xuan is so happie counting e money


..Princess Xuan is impatient le..

We shop till like 10+pm after our dinner before we returned to e hotel to rest...Shilin nite market is super big lor... Gd for shopping & definitely fun to shop if its during e summer... cuz its winter nw, & all e clothes tt sold dere were either too thick or long sleeve de.. so its super hard to get miself sum clothes tt i could bring back to Sg to wear de... So sad!
...~Day 2~...
Woke up as early as 8.30am to haf mi bath & breakfast at e hotel before we 'shang lu'...Cuz e time is still early, so Bibi & mi decided to go to guo fu ji nian guang 1st, its much easy to drive on e 2nd dae den e 1st dae, cuz Bibi gt e hand of it le & oso he had rest enuff ( E road in Taiwan dun allow left turn on every lane de.. if u wanna left turn, u haf to drive all e way up till there's a sign tat sae left turn...in order to u-turn, & normally its v far away de lor...so troublesome de)

~Taiwan 101 tower~

>>>>Guo Fu Ji Nian Guang<<<<

~E guo fu~

Its damn hot de lor

I feel tt e guo fu looks abit like Yusof Isaak leh...Dun u tink so? Hmm...






Inside e museum
Before we go off frm e museum, we saw e changing parade of e guards whu r supposedly to guard e guo fu in e 1st pic de... Every movement of e guards was so exact...even e banging of their rifles on e ground was e same..oni 1 'bang' sound...their marching was v neat & tidy too~ Every seconds & mins were so so so exact...Pei fu~

Den, We continued our journey to wu fen pu to shop, it was damn big...but e stuff dere was nt actually v cheap, bought a top dere... den after tt we went to dunno wat shopping centre...If im nt wrong, it shd be Mei Li Hua ba, went dere to shop cuz its hot in e outdoor.. wahahaa~



Its NT599... Audrey, u wanna get it? So cute & sweet rite?


Audrey, look @ dis!

Princess Xuan loves e ride v much..its NT30 every ride~ Nt bad if u r tired & dun wanna walk, it could bring u ard e storey!!

Den, We went for our dinner at e food court, I ordered Sg style curry mee while Bibi ordered Hainanese Chicken Rice... E Curry mee sucks lor.. & Bibi being so sweet tt he exchanged his chicken rice wif mi...*hehe* Bibi so gd hor?

After dinner, its time for ferris wheel! Aiyoh... Im so so so scared de lor, but cuz Bibi sae he wanna sit e ferris wheel, so no choice! As u noe, I haf height phobia de lor, so dun be fool by e fotos... u dun expect mi to frown in e pix mah! *giggles* Btw, e ride is considered cheap lor, its oni NT150 per person & Princess Xuan doesnt haf to pay... So actualli its worth it! But too bad, its e wrong person riding it... dun realli dare to look down! Arghhh~
Moreover, Bibi & Princess Xuan being so bad lor, Im already so scared in e cabin le, & Bibi actualli fart inside e tiny-little-almost-fully-enclosed cabin nei, wat e hell! Its super super super duper x100 smelly, can! I almost fainted inside leh!*exagerated abit lah* but realli damn smelly de lah! But Im realli so scared by e height tt I dun even dare to get angry...Fear overpowers Anger... & Princess Xuan kept jumping & walking ard in e tiny cabin...Thanz god tt I still survive, nt oni for e height but oso for e air pollution man! So every1..plz.. DUN FART WHEN U R TAKING E FERRIS WHEEL!
Aniway, here r e pix taken on e ferris wheel~ Enjoy!



E ferris wheel was damn beautiful in e nite...


The nite scenery of Taipei... Romantic!

Princess Xuan was nt scared at all... Its so gd to be a kid!

After e ferris wheel, Bibi drove us to Rao He nite market to walk walk & eat eat... There was nt too mani ppl dere cuz was during e wkdae... Bought twisted potato chip & korean spicy Nian gao, it was delicious! Yummy Yum Yum, muz try tt when u go dere...U sure wun regret it...Aniway, Bibi bought mi a necklace dere... Oni NT200, loves it so much.. Thanz Bibi~


...~Day 3~...

As usual, had our breakfast & continued our journey to e Taipei underwater world... E underwater world dere was so small, smaller den e 1 at Kenting de... But cuz it is combined wif e Yoyo Sea Park, summore e entrance fee was nt too ex, oni Nt380 per person, so it was still alrite...





The turtle is vvv big


Princess Xuan loves e characters...



It was still early so we went to Xi Men Ding to shop again *giggles*... I bought a mini skirt dere...thou e skirt is abit ex, I feel tat e skirt is mi style so without further ado, I bought it at NT390...keke...& cuz we are unsure of where to explore le, so in e end, Bibi & mi returned to Shilin nite market to haf our dinner ( we had steamboat for e nite) & walk walk again, as we did nt realli comb e entire nite market on e 1st dae due to tiredness... *hehe*
...~Day 4~...
Made our way to Xin Guang San Yue shopping mall to get Princess Xuan her toy 1st...as Bibi & mi promised to buy her a toy...hence we muz keep to our promise... We arrived at e shopping mall at 10.15am, & waited like 45 mins for e mall to open...
Lastly, Dis is our last destination for e Taipei trip, initially, we are unsure of which place to visit before going back to Hengchun...Stuck in between e Xiao Ren Guo & Liu Fu Chun, so indecisive as in dunno which to visit... But, finally, we decided on Xiao Ren Guo as there's a theme park inside tt place whereby Princess Xuan could enjoy herself!
Plz do nt tink tt I took e pix frm v far away... In actual fact, every single ting there was v small... It was so cute! In addition, we haf to take a "boo boo" train frm one part to e other part de... Frm all e small models to e theme park... So interesting hor?
