I"M BACK

i'm back from my taiwan trip. instead of going on a foodie journey, i went on a shopping trip! man it's darn tiring. here's what happened..

Day 1:
arrived @ taoyuan airport --> took cab to hotel (internal transfer did not happen) --> settle down --> went to shilin via MRT --> had smelly tofu (all peiru's fault!!) --> shopping (forgot what i bought) --> went back to hotel @about 12 something --> shower --> sleep

Day 2 (the day that almost killed us):
woke up @ 6:30am (seryin woke up first so i took the chance to sleep in hahahaha) --> had breakfast @ hotel restaurant (disappointing food.. YUCK!) --> took train to taipei city hall station (to taipei 101 area for shopping) --> took train to houshanpi station (to wufenpu for shopping obviously) --> then over to raohe night market (forgot how we went there) --> then over to living mall (got lost along the way --> walked for an hour plus --> aching feet) --> took bus back to ximen station (walked somemore --> can't resist it!!!) --> took train back to hotel (in longshansi) --> walked back to hotel --> reached hotel @ 12 plus i think --> shower --> chit chat --> sleep

Day 3:
woke up @ 6:30am --> had horrible breakfast in horrible hotel restaurant --> left hotel @ 9 something or 10 to Taipei main station --> caught the train to Taichung (left Taipei main station @ 10:55) --> started walking around in Taichung (Di yi guang chang --> Ji guang shopping area) --> caught bus to feng jia night market (caught in the rain!!!) --> caught 21:43 train to Taipei (reached Taipei @ 12:04 sharp) --> took train back to Longshansi station (laden with shopping!!! so many cabs stopped along the way for us -- so nice) --> reached hotel @ 1 something --> shower --> chit chat --> slept @ 3am

Day 4:
woke up @ 6:30am --> had horrible breakfast in horrible hotel restaurant again (we wanna maximise the free breakfast) --> left hotel @ 10 something to Ximen station --> rain and wind was v strong so we cancelled plans to go to Danshui (Fisherman's Wharf) --> went to Miramar instead (Very cold) --> nothing much to buy (cos v ex) --> spent money on ferris wheel ride (very high very scary) --> went back hotel @ 9pm --> started packing up for the trip back --> fell asleep when i was trying to stay awake (that's how tired i was)

Day 5:
woke up @ 4am --> trying to stay awake (very hard) --> my eyes are closing --> internal transfer actually came @ 4 something!! (so proud of them) --> uncle was speeding us to the airport (reached the airport @ 5 something am) --> queue was darn long (feel asleep while queuing.. yawn!!!!!!) --> boarded the plane @ 7:10am (fell asleep soon after take off) --> didn't really eat breakfast (didn't have the appetite --> very tired) --> fell asleep all the way till around half an hour before landing (the flight's about 4 and a half hours) --> went lunch with family and Gary --> went to bed

That's how the whole trip went. was fun.. loads of funny things happened.. i was constantly nagging at the girls.. i was no good example too la.. half the time i was dozing off or in my own world. as always.. or i'm sometimes too slow to catch up on what was said.. haha.. but then again.. i had a fun 5 days with them and now i really miss their voices and their nonsense.. haha.. but i'm also glad to be back with my family and Gary. so happy to see him there at the airport with my family. glad that they are getting along.. hee.. anyway.. i'm very tired now despite having slept for more than 12 hours... my mum made me noodles @ 10sthg yesterday night so that i would not have to suffer gastric. hee.. but the thing is.. i am suffering from gastric.. and she talked about installing a TV in my room!! yeah!! but got tv no dvd player la.. so boring!!!! argh.. anyway.. i should go back to sleep le!! snore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
