i im back

Hi im back.. i mean im back to blogging after so long... hmm.. just got no time .. and whenever i wanted to blog, im always filled with msn conversations and ended up chatting late and ya, gotta work next dae so closed the blogger window.. yea.. it's 1.35am now and im sure going to blog cuz theres no work and not really any event tml.. so theres plenty of time.. i can wake up late tml.. after that will be going over to jw hse for some installations in my lappy.. and yea im using it now, the 2nd day im using.. just came yst.. yea i still chose Dell in the end. Dell 1420 and i chose spring green for my cover! checked the dell website.. it'll be ard $1600+ given my specs but was offered $1199 during the PC FAIR.. so i thought it was quite a good deal.. =)

Well, the next thing im going to blog, i hope im being allowed to. cuz of some reason. its bout my trip! came back on the 10th from HK.. Eff(will use this word given the mood at that point in time) the service staff at the SG airport counter cathay pacific. becuz we were taking transit flight from sg to hk den to tp. and we asked the staff if we need to transfer our luggage ourselves when we reach HK. and he replied that its nt a need as they will help us to transfer the luggage to TP also. so we can straight away collect them when we reach the destination. But no. Our luggage was not out from the conveyor belt when we reach tp taoyuan airport. so we checked with the counter and he said our luggage were still at HK and is the SG staff entered the wrong data into the com. Jw was damn angry den. cuz by the time we travel to our hotel at ximending will be ard 8pm.. got no luggage hw to bath at nite. but the staff promised to send our luggage latest by the next day.. so we bought some necessities there so tt at least can bath and brush teeth all those. but luckily the luggage was sent at 1.30am. Anyway, the food on the plane was nice and even got Hagen Das ice-cream nehs.. hee..



anyway, we got less angry when we came out of our hotel cuz was distracted by the things ard us! Seperated by a stretch of road from our hotel is XiMenDing liao..



so everyday, we just cross one road and Tada! we are at ximending! I think the first day we went to try the Ah Zong Mian Xian, a famous Jap rest, some lu bian Tan and Xue Hua Bing! OmG.. i wan the Xue Hua Bing again!












and i think first day i bought a bag. 2nd day was Crazey for me.. we went to Wu Fen Pu and i literally spent like no one else's biz.. the clothes are really damn cheap can.. cuz its act a wholesaler place.. tts y.. tried the Lu Rou Fan.. haha.. so funny.. their Lu Rou Fan no Rou one.. there is but small little pieces.. -_- and we found out only at the hotel cuz we da bao-ed due to nature call after long hrs of shopping.. theres no public toilet or wadsoever there.. so no choice got to go back. but i wonder how the shop owners do their "biz" .. went to Shi Lin Night market as well.. their so call fun fair games are ok la.. not bad prizes ( medium size bears) but a little pricey.. one game causes SG$5.. not very she de.. i rather spend on food or clothes. i still dun understand why Jw and the other peeps like the Fried Chicken (Hao Da Ji Pa) so much.. i still prefer TM B1 de Xi Men Za Ji lorrr.. ehh.. got to slp le.. to be continued..








ok.. wad else.. we tried the Oa Jian ( Oyster omelette) and Hua Zhi ( some kind of cuttlefish thingy).. got one stall sell Chou Dou Fu (Smelly Beancurd) but didnt try cuz previous day ate one at xi men ding which stings my mouth for the rest of the day.. so dun wan to eat again.. cuz actually the one i tried is not realli the real one cuz it's w/o the vege which makes it even smellier..




dEn shopped at Xi men ding.. saw the viser(is that spelt this way?) for the motor helmet i bought! so make sure size is correct and came back for it the next day during the one day city tour..


shopped quite a lot at shilin as well.. haha.. i ended up buying another bag at Xi men ding..



tried Cong You Bing, Shui Jiao Jian, sausage, some fried stuff with special sauces and tako balls..! Cong You Bing and the tako balls are nice! but u must noe which stalls to choose from.. the tako balls are Big.. bigger than Sg's.. and 6 big balls just for SGD$2! nicer than Sg's tooo.. omg.. went to the Modern Toilet Restaurant at Xi Men Ding.. had a hard time finding that place but still, manage to find it.. well, the food is so-so onli but the concept is special.. and it's CheaP! we just cant finish our meal.. too much to finish up..

























we went to Tian Mu for dinner at Onion Restaurant on the .. 2nd day i think.. had hard time finding as well.. harder than finding the modern toilet rest... we took MRT to Shi Pai station and than took Bus to Tian Mu.. still need to walk a dist to reach the restaurant.. i think the bus uncle dunno lor.. we could have alight 2 more stations later.. anyway, good to explore as we find our way.. saw a pet shop, went in and look at dogs of cuz! OMG so cute lor.. got one dog see us den keep like.. not bark.. keep making sound like talking like tt.. but the staff there like.. no ai xin one lor... she scold the dog.. "Ni Shi Na Gen Jing Bu Dui Jing ah?" =( Boo.. but funny also.. hahhaha.. Den finally found the rest as we ask the residents there how to get to tt rest.. the rest is famous for it's beef.. Its SGD$40 for an 8 course meal.. which... luckily we shared one meal and it filled both our stomachs.. and i wld rate the food 8.5/10! The trip is worthwhile..=)























went to some places of attraction.. If not for Jiu Fen and Ye Liu, we wun join the tour liao.. Jiu Fen was high up on the hills.. got feeling like Su Zhou like that.. quite Gu Dai.. sell the Tu Chan and some soveniors.. and some places i dun even noe where.. the place where the Jing Ma Jiang is held..








Went to Ye Liu.. interesting place where there are rock formations due to the erosions of the sand.. got one like the Queen Head but i didnt take the pic of it cuz quite far.. lazy to walk there cuz the wind not big enuff and very hot! Hot Spring was the next stop but we didnt go for it cuz i thought the water they use is acidic and bad for my skin .. cuz sulphur ma.. but after they went in den the Dao You sae this shop dun use sulphur and the water is not acidic .. but nvm la.. dEn the others go in for half hour while the Dao You and us sa outside .. the Dao You Pao Cha den me and Jw ate sashimi.. lol.. but the place there realli filled with sulphur smell.. so strong cuz there's quite a few hotspring stops.. and is at BeiTou.. Evening time arrive after the bath and the next and the last stop was Shilin night market which we went..on the way there, there's a lot of Bing Lang Mei.. which u can stop and buy Bing Lang from them.. The Dao You say only that road got a lot Pretty one.. den he keep asking us wan try Bing lang or not he treat but no one dare ans.. act i wan try cuz nv eat before ma.. but dear sae not nice one.. the Dao You sae.. can take pics with the Bing Lang Mei and sometimes can even grab their boobies.. -_- i think he himself wan it lor cuz he Keep asking as he drive.. den finally somewhere down the slope liao.. there's few bing lang mei.. he saw one and stop and ask the ger if can take photo ma? dEn the ger ask back.."got buy Bing Lang from me or not?" dEn the Dao You ask her from where one.. dEn she reply tt she's from Vietnam.. dEn the Dao You ask.. " all Vietnamese ah? no TW gers?" dEn she sae dun have.. dEn the dao you dun wan buy liao.. cuz no mei nu.. he sae not pretty one.. shld have stopped just now.. diao lor.. i only wan the Bing lang ma.. -___- He left after driving us to shilin ye shi and the tour ends.. went back to buy my viser.. cuz the helmet i bought was w/o the viser.. i mean have but nt the kind which can cover my face.. well, i bought the helmet since i cant get a bike.. lol.. at least a helmet rite? =P

Oh ya.. and Puppys! there's one whole stretch of pets at Shilin ye shi.. OMG the puppies are damn cute! Toy poodle is my fav now..
but i dun like them to grow up though.. lol.. they become long and tall.. and they stand! i mean literally stand up so long and refuse to sit.. just look at this one! i videoed down...

im looking for Shitzu or maltese! hee! but having a dog means .. have to carry great responsibilities.. now SPCA only nice puppy is a 9 mth old Shithzu.. dunno how to spell.. $200 to adopt one..i want! but.... how.. =( no $ to even support myself.. This is one pig at the pet shop at shilin.

I think i roughly said finish abt my trip except the last 2nd day.. tried the Yong he Dou Jiang Opp our hotel in the morning as we skipped our complimentary hotel breakfast.. OMGWTBBBQ! The Dan Bing was Damn nice la.. Whoever going TW must try!!! Esp the Zhu Pa Dan Bing... i Dun think the Yong He Dou Jiang at Geylang will sell this la.. and heard that even the normal You tiao and dou jiang is not tt nice.. Tw's still the best!
after that went to cut my hair at a salon call Luan Jian (Anyhow Cut) main branch. Lol..also at ximending.. Luckily they never really anyhow cut! Im satisfied with my hairstyle now! SGD$22.. can be compared to REDS..


Lunch at Dan Dan Wu at Xi Men Ding after that.. Portions was big.. food not bad..
went to exhibition by some high school students across the road after meal.. Elva Siao was holding a Qian Chang Hui dEn.. lots of fan.. She sign till after we shop finish the exhibition still signing.. well, after that travelled to Dan Shui.. walked Dan Shui Lao Jie.. Tried Ah Gei.. nice! 3/5
Must try! cuz its famous.. Beancurd skin, fish filling and Dang hun inside.. nice gravy went with it.. tried this high ice cream too but not tt nice.. Bought the famous Ah Po Tie Dan but found out to be too salty when i came back.. not nice for me.. took Boat to Dan Shui Yu Ren Ma Tou (Dan Shui Farmer's Wharf) where the lover's Bridge is.. we didnt went up to the bridge cuz unfortunately, it was raining den.. nothing much over there.. but We saw Angela Zhang.. she was holding a concert then.. so lucky huh.. 2 singers a day but nv really like.. watch them sing and all la.. after that took boat back to Dan Shui Lao Jie.. we ate Choc Dou Hua..

Yummy.. dun like the butter one Though.. after that was way back to Hotel to do all the packing and prepare for HK the next day.. it's 1.30am now.. got to slp.. to be continued..zZz

Reached HK on the 8th of June ard 4 plus? in the afternoon.. the airport ppl sent us by coach to our Hotel.. Largos hotel.. omg.. the first floor is still renovating as reviewed by the ppl online since march this year.. As reviewed again, the hotel is small, stained carpet, small shower area and the shower head is rusty! OMG!!! Even the disposable slipper are inferior.. torn after one nite of wearing.. -___- Lousy service.. we went out for dinner for the first day and stored our room key with the counter at the hotel lobby.. but the staff claimed that we did not leave the key with them.. she find for quite sometime and said that she is sure that we did not leave our key with them.. She herself was chatting with the other ger staff while receving our key.. i almost asked her to replay the CCTV when she finally found our room key.. all she said was " Im very sorry" but not that sincere.. u noe.. wad the.. ( Btw, the hotel we stayed in TPE is call East Dragon Hotel - Spacious and reasonable for 3 star hotel, BathTub, clean carpet, sufficient facilities ( Xtra bedsheet, hangers, refill 2 bottle of mineral water each day w/o additional charge, willing to clean room everyday, Helpful and friendly staff at Lobby = The staff even helped us to call the agency in TW on the day when it was suppose to be our tour day but the Dao You never come. they tried to get the contact and call for us even if they dun have them. Excellent service!)

Our first stop at HK was Temple street as it is near our hotel which is situated at Jordan Road at Kowloon City.. Dinner was seafood.. Had yang Zhou Cao Fan and Lai Niao Xia (Urine Prawn?) i suggested to eat that.. cuZ HK drama ppl always eat that.. so wan to try..

den we continued to shop at Temple street.. is like SG pasarmalam.. got clothes there too.. tried the 7-eleven Siew Mai.. cuz TV show always eat also.. haha.. although not VERY nice that kind but is consider good enuff for 7-eleven stall.. Again, Its hard to find toilet when u shop half way.. ask ard for toilet and finally found one public toilet.. suprisingly, it's clean.. lol.. along the stretch to the toilet was a whole stretch of fortune tellers.. from the palm reader to tarot card reading.. wads more -_-" thing is.. the so call pasarmalam was filled with sex toy stalls too.. although i knew Temple st was a place filled with Porn VCDs but nv thought that they sell sex toys too.. i mean in a pasarmalam way.. i guess the prices must be cheap.. lol.. can bargain de leh.. lol.. walked from temple st till Jade St.. meaning from Jordan station till You ma Tei station.. haha.. ok la.. actually not very far..
