TAIWAN 2012 ~ Day 7 ~ (THE LAST DAY)
Monday, December 17, 2012 @ 10:05 PM `°•.¸¸.•°` leave a comment ( 0 )

27th of December 2012 - Tuesday

So here we are at the very last day of the trip...before I begin, I'd like to thank my parents for this amazing vacation; it's been a real adventure, all those babysitting hysteria, endless laughter, mild nauseas, heavy doses of bubble-tea...I swear I'll miss them. Even though Taiwan isn't the dream country I've always wanted to visit, but it's still managed to capture my heart. :) 

Right, back to the topic: all of us woke up at 4.30 in the morning. Yes, 4.30. No kidding man! We had to get to the airport by 6 o'clock sharp, because the time of our plane's departure was 8.30. I could barely keep my eyes open as I packed my stuff. But once I got on the bus, it was impossible for me to sleep. I tried closing my eyes, but sleep didn't take over, hunger did. By the time, our bus arrived at the airport, I couldn't think of anything but my thundering belly. And so, we were given a couple of ham sandwiches for breakfast. After days of having buffet-style breakfasts in 5-star hotels, a piece of ham jammed between two slices of plain bread was not what I had on mind. But I supposed it was a bad idea for me to fret over such a little matter when the rest, with eyes half-shut, just ate in silence.

Hours passed as if they were minutes, and in no time, we had to say our goodbyes. sniffs* :') But of course, you can't leave without a group photo, right? So that's all of us - my family and I; faces of complete strangers, unfamiliar yet genuine smiles, people I hardly took the effort to know even after being on the same bus for the past few days. Guilt tugged at the edges of my heart as I bade them farewell. I do hope someday we'd meet again, and when that day comes, I swear I'd stop being such an anti-social freak. :3    

GOODBYE TAIWAN!! :)

TAIWAN 2012 ~ Day 6 ~
@ 8:40 PM `°•.¸¸.•°` leave a comment ( 0 )
26th of December - Monday 
After being stuck on the bus for almost 4 hours, we finally arrived at Taipei. Just in time for lunch! :D We had this incredible meal at a Japanese restaurant called Ninja. ^^ The waiters and waitresses there were all really friendly, they made you feel as if you've known them forever. I was so busy piling up food on my plate that I didn't notice a guy had materialized beside me. He introduced himself as our personal entertainer, and so...he performed a magic trick of making a coin vanish into thin air. Typical. But I like him, so does my mom. He's cute, okay!!? :3 

Then came a waitress with a bucket of plastic ninja darts in her hands. She said it was something like a lucky draw, so my sister volunteered. And guess what she drew!? Test tubes. Well, at first we all thought it was some sort of a practical joke, because there was this icy, white vapor billowing from the test tubes as if it were a lab experiment gone wrong and were about to blow or something. But then, the waitress told us it was actually just sparkling juice with a hint of dry ice. So we were all like WTH??!*.... =w=    







The world's third tallest building - Taipei 101!!  










A quick visit to Taipei's Martyr's Shrine.




Time sure flies when you're on a tight schedule, well at least, that's what they say. So before our tummies even started rumbling, we were already having our dinner at Taipei's one and only 'revolving' restaurant. :3 The appetizer was sheer ambrosia - it literally melted in my mouth. And it looked gorgeous, too. It's a sad thing I was too starving back then that I devoured the whole thing before even remembering to take a photo of it. =_= The pumpkin soup was alright, and then came the main course. It was quite disappointing, though. The flavors weren't really exquisite; just a piece of chicken soaked up in mushroom sauce. blek* In case you're wondering...yes, I'm extremely picky when it comes to food. I've always had this naked adoration for food, so any sort of humiliation, such as this, is absolutely unforgivable. I was about to spit out a string of nasty remarks when mom gave me the LOOK = keep your mouth shut and eat your food young lady. So yeah...I was forced to swallow the terrible, TERRIBLE chicken - it took me more than 3 minutes to get that awful lump down my throat - and was then forced to smile for the camera. sigh* Oh well...1, 2, 3, smile! 





That's a wrap for Day 6!! ^^

25th of November - Sunday 

Sorry for the late update guys, I was pretty busy yesterday and the day before, and I have to admit that blogging isn't really my first priority. Anyway, less talking, more blogging. Let's give it up for Day 5! ^^ And here's the list of things we did on that day:

1. Visited a tea house right after breakfast.





2. Had a terrific lunch at a restaurant beside the largest lake in Taiwan 
- Sun Moon Lake (yeah I know the name's really...LOL). 





3. After gorging ourselves with huge courses of roasted pork, 
braised duck and other good food, we began SHOPPING!! ^0^v 


4. Visited a Ganoderma factory.
(P.S: In case you ain't got any idea what Ganoderma is)

5. Went on a boat-ride across the lake, and of course, took
tonnes of photos along the way. ^^













6. Arrived at Feng Jia Night Market and began our crazy food-hunt.
I ate as if I hadn't eaten anything for the past hundred years... =_=

7. With bellies filled to the brim, we embarked on an incredible journey,
an adventure worth dying for - SHOPPING. 
I'm too lazy to upload the others, so yeah... :P 

8. Headed back to our hotel at about 12a.m.

9. It was all 'good night' and 'sleep tight' for the rest, but for me...
it was all posting photos on Instagram and watching Spongebob. x)
