FUNKAMANIA PRELIMS WOULD BE HELD ON 20TH JAN'08 AT NUS CENTRAL FORUM!!
ok back to the trip.
TAIWAN IS AWESOME!! but the trip was kindda shitty cos a lot of travelling and sight seeing...not much shopping =( but on the contary...i think i bought a lot of stuff..compared to my mum and my bro. My mum din buy anything except for a dress!
my bro and i dun look alike seriously
we took jet*asia cos the slot for SQ was full. Their legroom was so limited...it's even less spacious then beinging on the bus! oh well, only had to endure for 5 hrs. And you have to pay for their inflight meals, including drinks as well...
taipei airport- me looking spastic
they're really serious for election. that print was actually on a van with loud hailer on top! lik so drama la! i mean u don't see things like that in singapore during election rite?
not much pic on the 1st day cos we were in some wu lu place call Da Xi. It's so wu lu, the nearest public phone is like 500m from our hotel. And kinda got scammed! cos on that nite we're suppose to enjoy hot spring but we reach the hotel only at 9.30...and the hot spring closes at 10pm...
kwa kwa kwa
look! they have yong he dou jiang in taiwan too! there one in geylang over here.
and oen thing i realise...there's lik tonnes of bike in taiwan! cub kias to be more specific. we stop at this traffic light and i took this photo..seriously...no car!
and along the roadside..
it seemed like almost everybody has a cub kia in taiwan!
went to jiu fen...i think. Can't rmb where i went on different days la! the only thing i remembered was staying in taipei for the last 2 days.
oh ya. The coldest place in taiwan i went was jiu fen! is lik really strong wind and all. other parts of taiwan wasn't very cold; u can just wear a t shirt and pants and dun feel cold.
the street in jiu fen
the shop where u buy all the goodies lik mua chi, tie dan[iron egg], local treats.
was having some dumpling dessert..damn nice! my bro's jus being spastic
i took the squid and my bro took the peanut seaweed. Despite the seafood content, they tasted pretty normal. Mine tasted lik margarine. Lik buttery buttery. My bro's jus taste lik peanut butter.
i dunno hw to explain but it's an instrument that works lik a chinese flute but looks lik that shape.
taiwan's house of condom has no age restriction! we wanted to go in but my mum shot us a disapproving look =(
after that, we had to take a 3hr train ride to hua lian! slept all the way on the train haha!
outside the station.
this was super candid..my mum called me and i turn around and she shot it
dunno wad the hell my mum looking at
on some minor part, my bro and i still have some similarities
the height differences...damn..
inside the cabin..
went to watch ah mei tribe's performance after dinner
went to some nite market after check into hotel. The roadside yan shu ji [fried salted chicken] was damn nice!!! even nicer than singapore shi lin chicken
fuckyou!
ah mei's marrige tradition: carry the bride on ya back all the way to the house.
went to some marble canyon place in the morning.
out tour guide ivan
this lil girl is from the same tour group as me and she's damn cute la! at 1st we all thot she's very quiet but actually she's really chatty! then when she shou with her...she kept sticking with me..ahah!
was gonna attempt a jump shot..i think i look pretty skinny here haha!
we've already landed when the shot was taken...failed!
my bro look so kuku here!
something u'll never see in singapore..
went to the marble & precious stone factory after that when we bro saw this..
the horse is made of jade and if i remembered correctly..the sculpture costed about S$150000..maybe more
aft lunch...we had a 7 hours bus ride to gao xiong! 7 hrs !!! so of course...slept my way thru! only woke up twice..once to go toilet and the other was to eat at this petrol station cos the bus needed refueling. Had beef noodles and it's heavenly man the taste!
arrived at gao xiong and went to Liu ho nite market to settle dinner. had the oyster mee sua...damn nice! lik hundred times better than singapore! and ate fermented tofu too! my bro said it's damn smelly but i couldn't smell anything lo! something wrong with me i think haha!
went to party world that night with the other family cos that family is lik 11 ppl, of which 6 of them are teens ard our age. at 1st lik damn awkward cos dun dare sing but once the adults started singing and we start to sing also. I kept losing at drinking games that nite and got bloated with lime juice and ribena.
next day headed to Jian fu shan, there's an amusment park rite next to our hotel.
before checking in, all of us headed to the park. We followed the 11ppl family. That day so kuku la. Dunno is i longtime never take rides or was but i got pretty weak aft all the spinning rides, Derrick from that family also.
1st- ferris wheel...super hot inside!
then all the teens went on this spinning ride..something lik yakult ride in escape but more chor. and i came dwn feeling quite nauseas
then we went on the inverter. seriously their safety lock was damn good. the shoulder lock came down and kept pressing into our tighs..damn pain la!
oh then behind the four od us sat 3 taiwan students then whiel the ride was on, one of them spat la...so goddamn gross la!!
next: space shot. Instead of dropping you from a great high...u get shoot up and fall back down. The shit part wasn't the going up but the coming cos it's kindda free fall like.
next we went on this corkscrew roller coaster..quite ok la..i preferred lethal weapon in australia's movie world!
when we came dwn from the ride, my legs gt kinda soft when they mentioned bout going on this frisbee ride...which is damn sick cos it's viking+spinning combined. I was strongly againsted bout going on the ride cos the last time i took it at the UK fair...i puked lik merlion..but they all dragged me onto it...and i kept screaming lik siao la! i swear i couldn't work properly when the ride was over. Desmond andthe rest kept laughing..except for derrick cos he got pretty sick too. went on the corkscrew coaster again..after that nearly gone case..so while my bro, desmond and nicholas went on frisbee again, me derrick, jovin n rachel were spamming sour plums..haha!
waiting for the guys to finish their 2nd helping of space shots
my mum took this picture of my bro and we kept laughing over it.
the rest went for viking after that except for me n derrick cos we were still feeling sick. And from a far..we could hear desmond screaming..haha!
